Postmaster - General Nichol- gon gave notice Friday in the Commons of a resolution lead- ing to the amending bill. There was no indication when the pro- posed new rates would come into effect. A post office spokesman said raise an extra $8,500,000 a year for the department, which is running at an estimated deficit of $4,276,808 in the current fis- cal year. Mr, Nicholson said last month, soon after he took over the portfolio, he wants to put the post office on a paying ba-' sis. Other changes will affect newspapers and periodicals, The rate for letters for local delivery now is four cents for the first ounce and two cents for each additional ounce. This rate is being abolished, so that all letters will be at the rate now prevailing for out two ounces, one cent fort he next wo ounces, and one cen for each additional four ounces.

Parliament for Port Arthur, that he was fed up with bilingualism and bi- culturalism. The debate, in English, at- tracted. a crowd estimated at more than 1,000 by the organiz- ers, the young Liberals in the largely English-speaking Mont- real district of Notre Dame de Grace. Mr. Fisher said there is grow- ing dissatisfaction in English- speaking provinces aganst Que- bec demands which many per- sons feel could impede federal welfare and economic pro- grams. Mr. Levesque said Quebec de- mands control of all social and economic activity. The sharpest difference was over their concept of the rela- tion between Ottawa and Qu- bec. "English-speaking Canadians prefer to be known as Cana- dians, not hyphenated Cana- dians, and believe that the whole of the country is greater than the sum of its parts," Mr. Fisher said, receiving the big- gest emotional applause of the evening from the largely Eng- lish-speaking audience. PARTS ARE VITAL "The parts are more vital than the whole and if their needs are satisfied, this will al- low the whole 'to live,' Mr. Le- vesque said in rebuttal. He re- ceived scattered applause, Both speakers criticized the federal government's royal com- mission on bilingualism and bi- culturalism., "I'm fed up with B and B-- bilingualism and_ bicultural- ism," Mr. Levesque said at the start of his 30-minute argument. "This is my last effort at com- munication on the topic of what English Canadians should hink of French Canada's aspirations. If a French-speaking person tries to do this, there is a dan- ger he will make it more diffi- cult." Hunt Leaves Ice Bloody For Miles GRINDSTONE, Que. (CP)--It looks like the year of the ships as far as seal hunting in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is con- cerned, The eight Canadian vessels were deep "in the pack" Fri- day. "The ice is bloody for miles around them," said a helicopter pilot after returning from an ex- pedition in their vicinity. "The ships are really cleaning up." ARCHBISHOP FREES | 49 TURK-CYPRIOTS NDP Member Defends Biculturalism Probe Mr. Fisher said there is al- most total lack of understand- ing in the rest of Canada about Quebec's needs. The royal com- mission's one major task should be to explain Quebec's French language and culture to West- ern Canada. Levesque delivered a strong plea for Quebec self-de- termination. SETS PRIORITIES He criticized the federal gov- ernment as 'a bloated admin- istration which is still growing" and gave top Quebec priority to provincia] control of social and economic fields, "a question of life and deaht for Quebec, if not Mr. for the other provinces." Premier Lesage's demand for 25 per cent of income tax, 25 per cent of corporation tax and 100 per cent of death duties was "only a minimum." He could see himself a separatist if Que- bec's demands were thwarted. Mr. Fisher said most Cana- dians outside Quebec look to the federal government 'for leader- ship and have a strong but un- defined nationalism. "Most Canadians want a stronger federal government be- cause they believe higher stand- CP from Reuters-AP NICOSIA--Forty-nine Turkish Cypriots, held as hostages by Greek - Cypriots, 'today were handed over to a representative of the International Red Cross. Archbishop Makarios,. Greek- Cypriot president, ordered re- lease of the hostages Friday in an effort to calm Cyprus' Turk- ish minority. He said they would be turned over to the Interna- tional Red Cross today. As new fighting resulted in two more deaths, Makarios also promised his government "will make every effort and will take all necessary measures in or- der to suppress any unlawful der."
