Jeers Greet Report OTTAWA (CP)--The Pearson government Friday accepted Opposition Leader Diefen- baker's challenge and an- nounced it will spring the polit- ically explosive closure rule Monday to produce a decision on the single maple leaf flag. Climaxing a months-long war of nerves between the Conserv- atives and Liberals, Privy Council President Mcll- raith calmly told the Commons the government will invoke the closure rule that has been un- used since the famous 1956 pipeline debate. The announcement, which brought cheers from govern- ment supporters and jeers and cries of "Black Friday again" from Conservatives, means the flag debate will be ended in the early hours of Tuesday if the closure motion is passed. The decision came at a hur- rledly called cabinet meeting following a speech by Mr. Dief- enbaker that. the government decided meant the Opposition leader planned to continue the flag fight indefinitely. The cabinet assembled after a 68-minute speech by the prime minister in which he appealed to his adversary to halt the protracted debate and indicated he would use closure if neces- sary. 'LET THEM DO IT' "I do not mind it," retorted Mr. Diefenbaker. "Let them do A it: "But the Canadian people will not forget that because the gov- ernment could not convince they decided to throttle Parlia- ment by bringing in closure. "Let that be perfectly under- stood." Rule 33 of the standing or- ders of the Commons spells out the closure procedure, A cabi- net minister announces in ad- vance that he plans to invoke closure. On the next sitting day lhe makes the motion--that de- Decide How The New Democrats, opposed in principle to use of clostre, planned to meet Monday to de- cide how to vote on the motion. Mr. Knowles said the entire party may decide to oppose the motion, or agree to hold a free vote. CREDITISTES AGREE However, Creditiste Leader Real Caouette asked the gov- ernment to impose closure after Leon Balcer, Mr. Diefenbaker's Quebec lieutenant, asked Mr. Pearson to do so. Support of a single minority party would ensure passage of the motion if all Liberal mem- bers support the government. Closure was first used in 1913 by the Conservative govern- ment of Sir Robert Borden to ram through the bill creating the Royal Canadian Navy. For- mer Liberal Prime Minister Mackenzie King used in in 1926 to halt debate on a customs scandal and _ Conservative Prime Minister R. B, Bennet invoked it in the early-1930's to push through an unemployment assistance bill. .Friday's drama unfolded be- fore packed Commons galleries with the prime minister endors- ing the committee design and calling for an immediate vote on a flag that "stands for Can- a." "The opposition has a right and a duty to oppose, to criti- Mr. bate on a measure be not fur- ther adjourned. A vote is held then on whether or not closure is to be allowed. If the vote passes, then speeches are limited to 20 min- utes for each MP instead of the usual 40 and at 1 a.m. all de- bate stops. A vote or votes are then taken to resolve all ques- tions before the House. The one o'clock deadline is stated specifically in the rule. The Conservatives and the CCF--now the New Democratic Party--battled the closure in 1956, which also came on a Fri- day. Stanley Knowles (DP-- Winnipeg North Centre) was a strong opponent along with Mr. Diefenbaker. An authoritative Conservative source said that in the flag war of nerves the party had hoped for such a move from the gov- ernment to remove the Con- servatives from the single hook of supporting the Red Ensign and give them another issue. EARLIER REJECTED A government source said the step, rejected earlier this week at other cabinet meetings, was taken'in the belief that the pub- lic will support such action in view of the 32 days of debate on the flag issue so far. The Commons spent 22 days and 174. speeches during the summer in debate on the gov- ernment's proposed flag of three red maple leaves on a white ground with a vertical blue band at each side. , It has used up 10 days and 82 speeches so far in the pre« Christmas consideration of the flag recommended -by an all- party Commons committee--a design with a single red maple leaf on a white field flanked by red panels.

"I repeat, if it can do this then the parliamen- tary process is meaningless.' SACRIFICE TOO MUCH? He asked. whether accepting a national flag lacking symbols that represent "early differ- ences" to a large part of the population was "too much of a sacrifice for the rest of us to make in the interests of unity in this country? "Well, I suggest it is not a sacrifice at all, especially when the symbol takes the form of the maple leaf which, over the years, has meant so much to every Canadian in war and in peace," Facing the Opposition Reader, he closed with an appeal for Diefenbaker to "rally around the decision' when it came and "put his great au- thority and prestige behind this decision, whatever it may be." Mr. Diefenbaker, making his second flag speech in as many days, said his party was not trying to impose a flag on any province. "He (Mr. Pearson) puts up the old argument that we who oppose this are therefore op- posed to Quebec. "That angument I hurl back at him and into his teeth." improper suggestions.
