Be Sage pours scorn on the Independence with plan of or. Levesque his Cabinet Lieuten ant in the stirring Days of toe quiet revolution. In comparison with sup ple federalism the Levesque formula for a Sovereign que within a Canadian eco nomic Union would be a Pon Derous slow moving association doomed to veto and dead lock says or. Lesage. But he adds that or. Leves que and his colleague fran Cois Aquin Are by no Means the Only Independence minded members of the Quebec legis Grace the governing Union National ranks of Premier Daniel Johnson. That explains Why the pre Mier does t dare draw up a federally oriented Constitution As the liberals have done says or. Lesage adding that or. Johnson feared out right rejection of Independence would split his party. The 55-year-old chef de apparently refreshed by a More robust at tacking role Analysed the constitutional picture for a re Porter in his spacious office in the elegant old Quebec Legisla Ture building. Until the present session he maintains the Union natio Nale government brought in legislation for the most part prepared or outlined by the Lesage government before its defeat in june 1966. The period of trial is now we re really assuming our opposition said or. Lesage. It is no secret that internal differences have plagued the liberals. But the buoyant be Sage said these had been settled mainly by the Leves que Aquin departure to inde pendent benches. When you have Unity As we have now you gather strength and he added. He expects to regain Power in the next general election but does not expect one soon because the economic Situa Tion and High unemployment Are unfavourable to the govern ment. He accuses or. John son of clouding the economic position by playing on the constitutional question and the nationalistic feelings of the people. The importance of these Parati St movement is declining among Young As Well As mature Quebe cers despite vocal groups in Montreal he says. Or. Levesque had made ridiculous boasts about Tak ing Over the official opposition in a few years. But he lacked organization throughout the. Province and he and or. Aquin were nearly always absentees from the legislature a How can they replace they cannot do a As for the Levesque theory or. Lesage said the great advantage of the Federal system is that it is supple while an association of Sovereign states involves the Rule of unanimity and veto As in the european common Market. In the Federal system the Rule is the Rule of the major Ity even if it is weighted so we avoid All the dangers of Lack of action which result from the veto. Apply this to or. Levesque s theory and you have a terrific argument against the former Federal minister spoke in an incredulous tone of the Levesque proposition and posed questions he assumes there will be no resentment in English can Ada but he goes farther. He has to assume first that the rest of Canada will agree to have the same currency and second that 70 per cent of the population 6f Canada will accept an equal voice with a population of 30 per cent on the m o n e t y matters on which he wants agreement after he has separated. What would happen if at a Given moment the Canadian government was taking action to sustain the Dollar on the world markets arranging International credits and then imposing taxes this has to be done swiftly. Would the representatives of Quebec on the one hand and the rest of Canada on the other be Able to do this with out going to their Parlia ments what would happen if an election was in the offing say in Quebec what would the rest of the world think of this joint does not exist anywhere else in the world what would happen to the Dollar what would Hap pen to the investments we turning to the Union natio Nale or.

Informal Canadian expressions offer reason to anticipate that .-Canadian discussions for a joint investigation May be come practicable in the near fun the committee was told. But Norwood was warned by Republican congressman John j. Rhodes of Arizona a water Short state that other interests also have their eyes on the Yukon. Rhodes was advised that one study indicated about acre feet of water a year would be diverted in the project. An acre foot of water is the amount cover Irig an acre to the depth of a foot. That s what worries said Rhodes one of the Mem Bers of the . Congress from the arid Southwest with designs on Columbia River diversions As Well.

The Market will be a major criterion in determining what water would be desired for diversion and what other uses might be made of he said. Rhodes referred to the concept of massive Continental water and Power transfers envisaged in the so called North american water and Power Al Liance which is still very much in the formative North Ern Canadian and . Rivers would be diverted southwards. Rhodes suggested the Alliance might produce the same result in Power production As the maximum development of the Yuk on Taiya concept.

The Union National s Posi Tion meanwhile was summed up in the title of or. John son s Book Equality or Independence. Or. Lesage commented what i am afraid of when you talk about consensus is that if his motto did not con Tain the word Independence a number of his supporters in the House would not be Satis fied. He has sympathizers to the cause of Independence among his own members. He does t dare have his party outline in a document the Basic principles of its thought and purpose on the subject. In our Case two of our members left. In his Case the split would be much More or.
