Post Department ft Pi Office 'ostage in Cash, TWENTY-TWO PAGES Flag Move Split Without Protest In First Debate OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment's proposed 'maple leaf flag finally reached the House of Commons Monday and, as predicted, it was buffetted from both sides by powerful winds of oratory. "Tt will not be the flag of a ion or party," thundered Minister Pearson, his clenched fist pounding empha- sis into his words. "It will be the flag of the people of Can- ada by the decision of their Tepresentatives in Parliament." "If the government had cal- culated a means whereby divi- sion could be secured in this nation, they could not have gone about it in a more effec- tive manner," said Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, as most of his Conservative followers pounded approval on their desks Above them, the galleries were jammed with spectators, many of whom stood throughout in the clammy humidity to lis- ten to the leaders launch the flag debate. Some had waited for 'hours to get in; hundreds were turned away. Among things they heard dur- fing the first day was the split- ting of the resolution into two parts by Speaker Alan Mac- naughton so the question of a new flag will be dealt with sep- arately from the authorization fly the Union Jack as a sym- of Canada's membership in Commonwealth. 7 a PLEBISCITE IDEA : also listened to Prime Minister.

The petition, sponsored by the Emergency Committee to save the Red Ensign, was brought to Ottawa by a delegation headed by Sherwood Sugden, Toronto publicist, and spread out on the Centre Block steps before going to Mr. Pearson's office. Mr, Sugden, who said he was in his late 20s and who declind to reveal his political party sympathies, said the signatures came from people in every province and major city in Can- ada. Fiery Finale Seen or B-B Hearings QUEBEC (CP) -- The royal commission on bilingualism and biculturalism, winding up a cross-Canada otur of 23 cities, is expected to come face to face today with Quebc's angry young sparatists and ultra-na- tionalists. 'Scores of separatist and quasi ~ separatist students and young professional men showed up unexpectedly Monday night at what was supposed to be a minor preparatory session, turning it into a lively two-hour forum with strong separatist overtones. The vocal young men are ex- pected to return with more ar- guments for the main sessions this afternoon and evening when all 10 members of the commis- sion will be present. The commission, completing a three-month series of unprece- dented informal meetings, was lambasted Monday night as Copenhagen Cool To Khrushchev COPENHAGEN (AP) -- Pre- mier Khrushchev arrived in Co- pethagen today at the start. of a three-week visit to Scandina- via and received a friendly but low-keyed reception from twin crowds of Danes.

They rejected cross - Canada |bilingualism and biculturalism outright and called instead for "coexistence" of two autonom- ous unilingual states. This implied that French would become the only official language in Quebec and Eng- lish the only official language in the nine other provinces. Canada would be divided into two "associate states" which would be self - governing but joined in a common market. Speakers called'for an end to use of the English language in Quebec labor-management re- lations and English instruction in the province's schools. One participant protested that the associate state plan would wipe out as a distinct group the 1,200,000 French-Canadians liv- ing outside Quebec. He was shouted down by many in the audience. Robert Marceau, a law stu- dent taking part in a lead-off panel discussion, called for a jnew constitution creating new linstitutions for Quebec to re- jplace the Crown. He said the |jsymbols of monarchy have no meaning for French-Canadians. | Mr, Marceau drew applause when he called for a provincial itelevision and radio broadcast- jing system to replace 'the |French network of the CBC. | Milton Hendricks,. a bilingual {Dutch immigrant on the panel, said Quebec should require im- |migrants to speak French and jintegrate with the French-Cana- 'dian majority. viously lost the confidence of Parliament." From Mr. Diefenbaker came this comment: "You cannot Canada and secure from them some ridicule as nationalism-- the patriotism of men and women who love their coun try." The flag, said Mr. Pearson, would unite Canadians and bol- ster the sense of national unity. "IT say to him. . . Diefenbaker, "the has' caused to this nation cleavages, fissures and separations that more than will remember." For 75 minutes the prime minister presented the govern- ment's case for the proposed flag--three red maple leaves on a white background with verti- cal blue bars at each side. "'A said the prime minister. The time has come, he said, for a new and distinctive flag that cannot be mistaken for the flag of any other country. The formal links with Britain had changed over the years as Canada evolved from a colony to a fully independent nation. The ties now were based on friendship, and kinship, and with these changes come a nat- ural change in symbols. He traced the history of the Red Ensign up to 1945 when it was authorized by the cabinet to be flown where a distinctive Canadian flag was required.
