THE CROWNED REPUBLIC A quiet conflict which has long simmered just below the surface of Canadian life has now come into the open. It is the issue of the monarchy ver- sus republicanism. The fact it has now surfaced for all •to see and debate on is another indication of Canada's groping for a renewed sense of nationhood. But the fact it is a quiet con- flict, limited to occasional out- bursts in Parliament and only recently commented on editori- ally hy. leading Canadian news- papers, suggests most Cana- .dians probably do not feel very strongly on the subject one way or the other. The flag debate was rife with charges that advocates of the Maple Leaf flag were setting Canada on the road to republi- canism. The issue was renewed when the Post Office announced plans to dispense with the crown bedecked Canadian coat of arms on 'mail trucks, in fav- or of a Maple Leaf. As Conservative leader John Diefenbaker put it in the House: "We are facing in this nation , . . a form of under-. ground revolution mounted in the silent precincts ' of the Prime Minister's office . . . to scrap the armorial bearings of this nation and remove all ref- erence to the monarch." *„ Mr. Diefenbaker's charge has of course been denied by gov- ernment front -benchers. But the fact remains that the Gov- ernment does indeed seem set on this courte, although to say it is the intention of the Pear- son cabinet to make Canada a republic seems a far-fetched proposition. A realistic explanation prob- ably is that Canada is virtually already a republic, in fact if 'not in name. Canada's transitiqn from col- ony to "croivned republic" has. come slowly, but irreversibly. Dating- from the Statute of Westminster - in 1981 which. gave Canada complete inde- pendence, this 'country has been tugging at the, tether of British control. Just -because government ed- icts are issued in the Queen's name., and be'canse all the tra, •ditional trappings of the monarchial system are still em- ployed on state occasions, does not make Canada a monarchy in practice as well as in name. Several leading Canadian newspapers are now engaged in a debate on where this "creep- ing republicanism" will take ue. The debate was launched by the Toronto Globe and Mail, which challenged its ideological arch -rival, the Toronto Star, to www- • We Are BUYING . . .

The Globe, of course, sup- ports the traditional establish- ment of the country and could thus be expected to be strongly pro-monarchiel. The Star, also as expected,- did indeed answer the Globe invitatiqn, and came out flatly in favor , of making Canada a republic. The Tele- gram of Toronto entered the debate by lining up on the side of the monarchy. One of its fea- ture columnists — an English- man--- even declared he would leave the country if Canada ever became a republic. The Young Liberal Universi- ty association and several Que- bec MPs, have called for the abolition of the monarchy in Canada, but the issue has never before been so widely debated as in recent weeks. The discussion on 'the merits of the monarchy versus repub- licanism has so far been re- markably free of emotional hy, perbole. The reason for this, as sug- gested above, may be that Can- adians really don't care very much about it, The arguement that only the British monarchy /has kept Canada from 'falling into the complete grip of the United States doesn't mean much anymore. Forty per ceet of Canadians today are of British origin, with 30 per cent having French background and another 30 per cent various other origins. •A recent Gallup poll indicat- ed about one-third of Canadians would vote in favor of this - country joining • the United States. .The' monarchy, it is clear, no longer beckons Canadians as it once did., But there is no sign of a sufficient anti -monarchial feeling in this country to- bring about any early change no mat- ter how many maple leaves be- deck the public institutions of this country.
