Un- fertunately, there is a lot of truth in t#e charge. However, particularly with régard to living persons, perhaps the f4ult is mainly ignorance rather than m~alice. It is flot that we choose to snub liêrsons of ability and achievement but rether that in such a vast land it is difficuit to know what is being achiev- ed and who should be honored. On that basis, the establishmnent of the Order ofÈ Canada must be welcomed, writes. cç9lumnist C. J. Harris. Nor can there b e quarrel with the choice of the 35 eanadians who have just been appoint- ed Companions of the Order and the' 55 who have been awarded its Medal of Service. The new system of honors was anhnounced to Parliament- in April and a,, committee, working under a consti- tution approved by the Queen, went tQ work choosing names. Governor- General Michener was made chancel- loi' of the order and it was formally Wustituted on July ist. The nu-iiber of companions is limited to 150, wîth a total of 50 appointments to be made this year and no more than 25 in fol- lowing years. The Medals of Service nxïay.total 100 this year and then wilJ be limited to 50 a year. Medals of Courage, of which none bas yet been aWarded, are unlimited in number.

"the Order of Canada will be "for out- "standing menit of the highest degree." kMedals of service will be awarded for t nerit of bigh degree. In precedence the honors rank after the Victoria Cross and the George Cross. Companions may use the. initiais CC after their names, and winners of the Medal of Service may use the initiais SM. There are some very unusual awards, which isflot to say unworthy, in the first group of ninety. For in- stance, winners of the Medal of Ser- vice include Augustine MacDonald, who bas been acountry doctor near Souris, P.E.I., for more than 60 years, and Isaac Philis, a Sydney, N.S., steel- worker who despite depression, strikes and illness educated bis seven child- ren to be a minister, a doctor, a psycho- logist, a secretary, an industrial chem- ist, a teacher and a nurse. Among com- panions of the order is E. A. Baker, who lost bis sight in the first world war and despite that handicap belped found and develop the Canadian Nat- ional Institute for the Blind; another companion is Marius Barbeau, who bas contributed enormously to the National Museum's store of Indian and French- Canadien niaterials since he started bis career there in 1911. The fitting motto of the Order of Canada, from Hebrews 11:16, is Desid- erantes Melioremn Patniem: "Tbey des- ire 'a better country," B i-gger U.N. Role The United Nations Security Coun- dl'a decision to station observera on bath sides of the Israeli-Egyptian cease- fire lune along the Suez Canal is an ex- trý.vnely i mportant step forward - and could well become even more so in the future., Behind the' step lie a number'of hleartening facts, seys an editorial in The Christian Science Monitor: 1* The'abîlity of the United Stetei and the Soviet Union to agree on a Mfajor step towards easing Mideast ten- sions. It is now firmly recognized that there 1p littie hope of effective United Nation: action on major issues uniess Moscow and Washington agree on what Jà. b be done. ,* The reported readiness of both Titael and Egypt to accept this step. Zuch willingless ia, of itself, an -encour- aÉement for those who are seeking 10 find some acceptable formula for end- ing the current phase of Middle Eastern tension. 'ý* The stationing of observera greatly strengthens both the United Nations role and the United Nations' priestige in the present crisis. -In a certain sense, of course, the stationing of observers is merely a :negative achievement. This, in itself,' ct9es not bring peace nearer. It is r.nere- la means of preventing a further deterioration. But to look at the Security Coun- cI's action merely from this point of view would be shortsighted. Except for the cease-fire itseif, this placing of o'b- servera is the first effective move which the United Nations bas been abtle to take in the criais. As such it creates an atmosphere of cautious opti- miani that further helpfui atepa can be taken. In this connection, we ware inter- ested to note Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin's statement in Moscow that the Soviet Union and the United States cannot solve world problems by them- selves and that such settlemrents must corne from the United Nations. Taken at its face velue, this statement could rmean that Moscow is ready to see the world body take further decisive steps on the Middle Eastern crisis. This in-. terpretat ion is strengthened by tbe fact that, in accepting the stationing of 'ob- servers aiong the Suez Canai, Moscow made a major concession (aven tbough reluctantly) wben it agreed. b have these observers under tbe eye of the Secretary-Generaî bimself rather than under that of the Secunity Council where Russia hes a veto. Froni the very beginning of the crisis, we have beiievad that the United Nations must and should play tbe lead- ing role in finding some formule for peae with which botb Arabs and Is- raelis could live. This latest step shouid encourage tbe wonld body to press its search for such a formula.

A MacDuff Ottawa Report De Gaulle De parts OTTAWA - Bafome Gen emal Charles de Gaulle ai rived in Canada the Federa Gavernment was appreher sive over the difficulties bi might create. But even ii their wildest moments c concemn the Ministers neyei deamed that the Pmeiden, of France would precipitat( the kind o! crisis that ex. ploded ovem the cauntm' duing bis visit ta Quebec for Centannial year. When he arived and made a tew speeches which spake a! the close affilia- tion of the people o! France witb the French speaking Canadians in the province o! Quebec, the press sougbî ta read thinge ino these remerks. At least this was the officiel eaction ini Ottawa. Even Prime Minister L. B. Pearson was annoyed over what hae beliaved was a tendency on the part of tbe press ta try and create a "crisis atmosphere". The word was quietly passed ta tbe parliamentamy press gaI- lary that Mr. Pearson had been comparing the state- mente made that firet day o! de GaulIe's visit witb stetemfents he had made in the past ta Mr. Pearson and ta E)ternal Affaira Minister Paul Martin. Texts o! de Gaulle's speeches, wben hae visited Canada in 1960, were also produced for the Prime Minister. Ha scanned them and came ta the con- clusion tbat the General was net saying anytbing more than ha had eaid before. But thet was before the French President made hie triumpbel jaurney ta Mont- real. Meantime English-speak- ing Canadiens outeida af Quabec tad watcbed on their televisian sets. They bad heard comrnentators descrîbe how Premier Dan- iel Jobnson'e gavernment 'in Quabac bad raisad the Que. bac flan 'anct the flag of France - but that the new fiag o! Canada was con- epicuous, by ts absence. This atirred resentmant in tbe breasts of most English- speaking Canadians wbo fait, that -they had adopted the new Maple Leat ed and white flag pertly ta meet the demande o! the Cana- diens in Quebec wbo wmnt- e nopart af the Red Mayor Jean Drapeau of Montreal - obviously a much s ni a r t e r politicien than the Premier - bad in- sisted that the new Cana- dian flag be flown an the Street& of MontreaL This a laughing-stock.

Toronto, Ontario, July 26t, 1.967 D)eir Mr. James: Ontario Day at Expo 67 will be oberved on Saturday, August 5th. On Ontario Day, our Province wiil hold the spotligbt at Expo and, tbemeby, of the world. A program bas been de- veloped wbich, I believe, will express tbe pride the people of Ontario hoid for their Province. Ontario Day, as a result, will be one of the largest and most color- fui "national" dys t Expo. More than 1,200 singem, dancers, musicins and gym- nasts - 26 groups in all - will be transported to Expo from every part of Onterio to entertein in Place des Nations. They epresent the founding races o! French and English and the people of many other nationalities who have, in large num- bers, chosen to make their new homes in Ontamio.

Not if D Pearson could balp it. The French Presidant had done what aught neyer ta ba dona by a tatesmen. Ha took intolerable advantage o! a stte visit ta a friendly nation ta meddle ectively in that country's internai poli- tical affaire, aven going so *far as ta encourage disrup- tien - or womse, rebellian. The Canadien Cabinet was amoused. t was egreed thet dres;tie 1steps were celled for, and the Prime Minîster wax Ieft *ta issue a strangly warded statement. But the tiret draft as telked avar in the Cabinet was very tough. The Cabinet then had ta consider wbat the resuite might ba. If the statement wae too beavy-hended and blunt ta the point o! suggesting that de Gaulle depart et once, ha migbt take bis ambassa- dor witb him. And if the French President in a fit o! temper laft with bis ambas- sador there was the chance that ha might shut down the French embassy in Ot- tawa. end realiete by leter opening a French embassy in Quebec City. Wbat then? Thesa fectars had ta b. baken inoa conideration. The Cabinet wus called back ino session. It spent the reet o! that ufternoon (Tuesday July 25) cbang- Ing, rewriting, and editing i tbe statement. Finally a strong diplomatic statement wus agreed upan and issued t 5:55 p.m. Ottawa time. Prime Minister Pearson i walked tram Parliament Hill ta tbe National Pross Building - acros tbe lawns on Wellington Street - ta rend it before the national TV' cameras. Ho adoptod a sharp, forceful tone, unusuel for Mike Pearson, It wes clearly a diplamatie rebuke ta Presi- dent de Gaulle. The Gov- ernment hoped de Gaulle would gjet the message and louve Canada. He did and the next day be deparbed tl for France, cancelllng hlm visit ta Ottawa.
