"It's the British newspapers," they say. 'There isn't any news in them." What they usually mean is that they can't find the National Hockey League scores. Cana- dian news generally makes little impact on British papers; Can- ada remains for most Britons a distant image decked in maple leaves and swathed in vague goodwill. Suddenly things have changed.

The hour-'ong show, viewed by many Britons, concentrated on the question of how Canada can "live with" the American giant on its doorstep and still develop a distinctive personal- ity. The cameras of a ce. TV company, Rediffusion, probed into the communities of Guelph, Ont., and St. Hyacinthe, Que., record- ing along the way such inciden- tal intelligence as the fact that only 10 of the tunes in a St. Hyacinthe juke box are in French, the rest being of Amer- ican origin. Canadians were pictured in beer parlors and barber shops arguing the pros and cons of American domination. sal Unsettling Canadian Publicity In Britain The program, L'-'ng With a Giant, made a considerable im- pact among Canadians in Lon- don. Reactions ranged from sharp interest to mild criticism and angry bewilderment. George Drew, Canada's high commissioner, discussed the program in unflattering terms at a dinner gathering. A London newspaper, The Daily Mirror, promptly dubbed him "'the an- gry Canadian." Drew said the show was "'silly trash.' He objected to "'sloppy, gum-chewing" youngsters being considered typical of Canadians. Himself a native of Guelph, he noted that the stone fronts of Guelph's main - street stores were constructed 100 years ago by Scottish stonemasons, rather than in an effort to avoid American "garishness" as the program had indicated. SHARE DREW'S VIEWS Drew said the show also was factually at fault in saying that automobile production at Wind- sor, Ont., is entirely an Amer- ican affair. Details apart, the burden of his complaint was that the TV production exaggerated Can- ada's dependence on the United States. In private conversations, a reporter found that a number of Canadians shared the high commissioner's views. Some went farther and saw the show as another move in a sinister, typically subtle, Brit- ish campaign to jettison the Commoinwealth and plunge boldly into Europe. These Canadians are e:peri- enced men who would not de- scend to the street-corner level of labelling Britons as "Limeys." Their disenchant- ment arises out of a sense of outrage about what they regard as Britain's cavalier approach to the Commonwealth. They seek what may be tortuous explanations for commonplace' actions. One reproach heard, for in- stance, is that Prime Minister Macmillan never goes to London airport to meet Prime Minister Diefenbaker -- whereas Diefen- baker is always on hand to welcome Macmillan when the British prime minister goes to Canada. SHOW FAIR-MINDED Some Canadians found the program fair - minded, though they said it tried to cover too much in too short a time. No complaints came from a three-man panel that discussed the program some days later. Members of the panel were Canadian - born Bob Elson of Time magazine, British TV star Hughie Green and author Mor- decai Richler who saw Canada gradually succumbing to Amer- ican sway. Green and Richler formerly lived in *"-~' The lively re-ction here has prompted observers to ask whether Canadians are hyper- sensitive. They note a final irony -- the program was pro- duced for a company that seeks to foster international under standing by showing what coun- tries are really like. The uncharacteristic burst of interest in the Canadian psyche coincides with a rash of articles in the British press, These ine clude a five-part series in the Manchester Guardian, feature articles in The Daily Telegraph and a lengthy e 'torial in The Times about Canada's need, in the seventh decade of the 20th century, to review her role in the world. All this attention is flattering --but some resident Canadians would be happier im the old obscurity. PLAN HYDRO DAMS NEW YORK (AP)-The South African government plans to harness the country's biggest river, the Orange River, with three major dams in a $600,000,- 000 hydro - electric and water conservation project, it was an- nounced here Thursday by the Hamilton Wright Organization. The project along the 1,500 mile river will be the largest in Af- rica, and is exepcted to take more than 25 years. cone |stretching in an are for more \than 1,000 miles from near Cuba to off-shore Venezuela was the inherent imbalance of wealth, jdevelopment and potential among its members.
