Oshawa Times Photo Expo 67 Officials Happy ON QUEBEC SEPARATION Cowan, Gregoire In Fiery Exchange MONTREAL (CP) -- Separ- atist MP Gilles Gregoire pre- dicted Friday Quebec will break off from the rest of Canada by 1970 but was told by maverick Liberal Ralph Cowan that if that happens the other provinces should send in the armed forces. The fiery pair were among four panelists speaking at the annual Canadian Managing Ed- itors Conference on the topic Quebec and Confederation. Representing a more moder- ate point of view were Walter O'Hearn, executive editor of the Montreal Star, and Jean- Pierre Goyer, Liberal MP for Dollard, who said that separa- tist sentiment is not so strong in Quebec today as it was a few years ago. Maurice Dage- nais, managing editor of Mont- real La Presse, was chairman. Mr. Gregoire, Independent MP for Lapointe and leader of le Ralliement national, a Que- bec - based separatist political party, aroused Mr. Cowan's ire by saying Quebec "is free to go out' of Confederation if a ma- jority in the province opt for secession by a democratic vote. REFERS TO LINCOLN "In the United States Presi- dent Lincoln started a civil war because the South voted for secession,"' replied Mr. Cowan, MP for the Toronto riding of York-Humber, AT MANAGING EDITORS' MEET "Lincoln was right and I don't think a section of the country should be allowed to secede without an over - all referen- dum." Earlier he remarked that Samuel de Champlain had felt entitled to Canada after winning it in battle from the Indians. "So why aren't we entitled to keep it when we walloped the tripe out of the French?" Mr. O'Hearn, who said he found -Mr. Gregoire and Mr. Cowan "equally enraging,'"' sug- gested that English-Canadians live in Quebec are misunder- stood by their fellows in other provinces, The myth was that English- speaking Quebecers are a '"'tiny remnant" of Anglo-Saxons, who refuse to learn French and vote for conservative and reaction- ary representatives. In actuality they made up 20 per cent of the population of Quebec, are 29 per cent bil- lingual, and have consistently voted for liberal programs "sometimes even against their own interest." Mr. Goyer, a Montreal law- yer, made a plea for "under- standing and mutual respect of our rights" between Canadians and suggested that attempts to rewrite the constitution at this time would become "'a free-for- all for sterile quarrels."

Montreal financier Mar cBien- venu brought the crisis to a head at a directors' meeting by trying to get rid of the bank's outspoken president, James E. Coyne. He failed on a tie vote of the 14 directors present, Mr. Coyne voting in favor of himself. Four directors from Western Canada were absent. John L. Bodie of Edmonton, laughingly describ- ing himself as a "renegade westerner," voted with Mr. Bi- envenu. Mr. Coyne, who launched the bank into continued public con- troversy three months ago with a violent denunciation of its major eastern shareholder, told reporters 'he and his group are ready to continue but the future rests in the hands of Mr. Bien- venu. At one stage of. the meeting, Mr. Coyne said, Mr. Bienvenu had stated his only alternative was to wind up the bank. Mr. Bienvenu said he had told to come back here for meetings every week and have clashes all the time." CONTROLS BANK Mr. Bienvenu controls 50.2 per cent of the bank's approxi- With Show After 16 Days MONTREAL (CP)---After 16 days of Expo 67, officials of Canada's world's fair looked back on their operation today and found it more successful than anyone had expected. Friday night the fair's execu- tive met members of the press and Andrew G., Kniewasser, general manager, told them: "We are in very good shape." "It's clear to everyone that we have a greater success on our hands than even the most courageous of us thought," he said. The success was a total of more than. 3,600,000 visitors since the gates opened to the public April 28. So far 1,000,000 more have come to the fair than had been predicted. Now fair officials are ready to scrap the original estimate of 35,000,000 visits to the fair dur- ing its six-month term and are shooting for 60,000,000. But Expo's success has brought its own problems. Philippe de Gaspe Beaubien, director of operations of the $650,000,000 Expo city spread over 1,000 acres, said one of the fair's main problems is feeding its visitors. IMPROVE FACILITIES With the capacity to feed 275,- 000 a day, Expo hopes to en- large its facilities to feed more than 300,000. "What we have in mind is a ing 1,000 on St. Helen's Island," Mr. Beaubien said. By midnight, 167,852 had come through the turnstiles Friday, or a cumulative total since April 27 of 3,741,702. This means that with a popu- lation of 2,500,000 in Greater Montreal, every Montrealer on average has been to the fair at least once. There has been no breakdown on how many visitors are Mont- realers and how many from out- side but Friday night Dale Redi- ker, director of finance and ad- ministration, gave a clue. He said that 12 per cent of the money taken in at the fair is in large family restaurant,' with|4merican currency. meal prices under $2 and seat- Implementation Report A TORONTO (CP) -- Members on both sides of the legislature called Friday for early imple- mentation of a report, tabled April 4, that includes a proposal that a conduct code be set up for company directors, auditors and trustees. The interim report by the legislature's select committee on company law also would give shareholders the right to sue company directors for not properly doing their jobs. In other developments: 1. Albert Walker (PC--Osh- awa) said Pickering Township has become a dormitory for Metropolitan Toronto and wants provincial aid to meet a "des- perate" need for more schools and other public services.

The bank president said among possibilities open to Mr. Bienvenu were calling a share- holders meeting to change rep- resentation on the board, reduc- ing its capitalization or winding up its affairs. Asked about the possibility that Mr. Bienvenu would dis- pose of shares to Western Cana- dians, Mr. Coyne said some di- rectors felt purchase could be arranged if a firm sale offer were made but the matter was not raised at the meeting. Mr. Stevens, who resigned as chairman of the board Feb. 17 but remains a director, told re- porters '"'there will be a Bank of Western Canada if Mr. Coyne drops his Messiah role.'
