Tomorrow, for the first time, the Canadian Red Maple Leaf Flag will fly on the nation's birthday. It will fly in communities throughout the rugged ranges of the Rockies. It will-snap briskly in the breeze over prairie sports days. It will flash brilliantly through the green forests of Ontario resort areas. It will mark Canada's beginnings at historic sites in the Maritimes, "a . And, off the Atlantic and Pacific shores, the Red Maple Leaf will billow against a background of white sails and rolling waves. 6 From ssa to'sea it will fly over a changing nation but'a changeless land -- a land of awe-inspiring beau- ty, a land with such # richness of resources that its po- - tential is barely tapped in nearly 100 years. ee unfamiliar, as an emblem 'of Canadian accomplishment in times of peace-as well'as war it has Jong had wide recognition.

The justice department will study possible criminal action growing out of the' findings. It was Mr, Favreau's personal de- cision not to take such action-- without the department's ad- vice--that brought judicial criti- cism down on him. After making these announce- ments, the prime minister also said the government wants to "deal with the sinister and growing involvement of crime in politics'--a statement on which he did not elaborate in talking to reporters, Chief Justice Dorion's find- ings, reporting on an inquiry springing from allegations of attempted bribery and coercion in efforts to free Rivard last July, blasted political personal- ir and Rivard associates alike.
