On the eve of the debate there were indications that the winds 'of Opposition would not be as jong or as strong: this time, but no one was guessing as to when, and how, the proposed flag 'would reach a vote. The circumstances are some- what different this time, The previous three-leaf flag was proposed by the government, and was bitterly assailed by the Conservative opposition as '"The Pearson Pennant." This time it's a single red maple leaf on a white background with a red panel at each side, and it comes to the Commons on the 10 to 4 recommendation of an inter-party committee. However, four of the five Con- servatives on the committee Leader Diefenbaker has termed the design "unacceptable." But there has been no indication of a blockade against the flag al- though several members of the party have said they would like to extend the debate until the government invokes closure. Prime Minister Pearson has primised a new flag by Christ- man. INDICATE SUPPORT A majority of members of the smaller parties have indicated their support for the proposed voted against it and Opposition |. flag, along with the 10 Conserv- ative members from Quebec. Leon Balcer, Quebec lieutenant to Mr. Diefenbaker, said the flag should be "adopted with- out delay by the House." While not favoring the new flag, several English-speaking Conservatives have also come out strongly against a pro- longed debate. Gordon Fair- weather (PC--Royal) has said that "tactics designed to frus- trate what appears to be the will of the majority of Parlia- ment by a renewal of the pro- longed debate on the face of other issues which should be be- fore us for consideration would be irresponsible and divisive." Mr, Diefenbaker has said that "30 or so" members of his party had indicated a wish to speak in the debate. In the pre- vious flag debate there were 117 speeches by Conservatives, along with 32 by Liberais, 10 by New Democratie mem- bers, eight by Social Credit members and seven by Credit- istes. Most of the Conservative speeches were based on a de- fence of the Red Ensign, as the battle waged through the sum- mer from June 15 to Sept. 10, with scattered interruptions for other business. When it was apparent - that the House was locked in a bit- ter impasse, the party leaders held a series of five meetings Flag Hassle Opens Up Again Today to decide on some compromis- ing course of action. The result was the formation of a commit- tee consisting of seven Liberals, five Conservatives and one member from each of the three smaliler parties. SAT 100 HOURS The committee, wnder the chairmanship of Herman M. Batten (L -- Humber - St. George's) was given six weeks to make its report, It sat behind closed doors for about 100 hours in 45 different sessions, sifted through 2,000 submitted de- signs, and recommended the red and white design by a 10-4 majority. Mr. Pearson then called a meeting of the leaders in hopes of establishing a time limit on the subsequent debate. Mr. Diefenbaker had said the com- mittee's report would have to be "virtually unanimous" be- fore he would agree to such a limit. And so the debate opens today without any agreement on when it might end. A month has passed since the committee made its report, and much of the government's other A. E. JOHNSON 0.D.
