SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, MARCH 5, 1964
In Support of Canadian Unity -
At a time when there is every ap-
pearance that Canada is faced with
problems of dissension—When, areas of
the nation are 'speaking in anger of
other areas—what is most important
is that eac.14f us reject the hasty word,'
the prejudice, the bigotry that prevents
objective consideration of the situation.
Contributing to just such considera-
tion were the remarks of Prime. Minis-
ter Pearson, when he spoke recently in
the Throne speech debate. •
It was a speech which has evoked
strong praise wi,thout regard to poli-
tics from newspapers across the coun-
try.
Here, in part, is what Mr. Pearson
said:
The dream of a strong and united
Canada, as.,,we all .know, is' older than
confederation itself. Indeed, it motivat-
social or political pressure. This is es-
pecially the case when the political
foundation of a federal state is based
on two language groups, with a conse-
quent emphasis on duality which might
seem to depreciate the cultural impor-
tance of other racial groups in our pop-
ulation. Bicultural does not, as I un-
derstand it, and must never Mean this
kind of exclusiveness, with any assump-
tion or appearance of superiority. What
biculturalism in our country does and
should mean is that there are two
strains, French and, for want of a bet-
ter word, English, which were the foun-
dation of our national society.
There must be no pressure 6n one to
absorb the other, but they should de-
velop alongside each other; each; I hope,
influencing and improving the other
and each influenced and enriched by
the cultural contribution of other racial
ed confederation'. It was in the mind groups' and strains which areto be en -

There is no easy; magic solution to it.

ties outside Quebec; in short, 'make the
problern. go away. Moreover, the prob-
lem is complicated by loose talk and
mis_understanding about the meaning
of such word as "biculturalism" and
"bilingualism".
What \do we mean by biculfuralism?
Not, surely, that our nation has or will
...- have only two cultural sources, French
, and- English, each exclusive of the oth-
er. For one thing, English culture And
French culture are not, and cannot be,
separate and distinct from each other
or from other cultural strains in Can-
ada. Above all, biculturalism does not
mean that these other cultural strains
in our society, non Anglo-Saxon or non-,
French, should be discouraged from
making their own strong and enrich-
ing contrilDution to what we are trying
to develop in Canada.
Cifitiliar segregation, or cultural sep-
aratism, is no more welcome than some
other forms of segregation or separ-
atism. Equally to be rejected would be

I know that every hon. ,member of

hon. member of the house feels in 'his
heart that we will -not be unworthy of

lem. I refuse to believe, as I know you
refuse to believe, that we Cannot rise to
the occasion, match our problems and
be equal to our opportunities. I refuse
to believe that when the crying need

security for all men, for the growing
recognition of the realities and rewards
of interdependence, with men in, all
continents corning together �r being
driven. together, we in this country
must move .apart.
a,Canadian grave in France there
is an epitaph which I believe captures
what all of us in this house seek, It is
on the headstone over the grave of a
Canadian boy whO won the Victoria
Cross and who was buried in the first
of far too many. war cemeteries. Whe-
ther he was English speaking or
French speaking I do not know; some
of both races lie. in all those cemeteries
side by side. The epitaph on the grave
of this particular young V.C. boy, which
was chosen by his Canadian 'mother,
-reads: How blessed it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity.
It is for us, sir, to seek that unity too.

One wonders what was the
special attraction of Huron
County, a century ago, that led
two of the big names in Cana-
dian cultural history to settle
there, and live out their lives
in the Seaforth-Clinton area.
Neither William Nichol Cress-
well, the painter, not Horatio
Hale, the scholar and author,
was a native of Huron County.
nor even of Upper Canada...
Cresswell, the painter, was
born in Devonshire, England,
in 1822, and finally settled
down to make his --home, for
about the last 40 year of his
life,. at Seaforth, where he died
in 1.888. Hale, the author, and
specialist in Indian languages,
was born ,in Newport, New
Hampshire, in 1817; for the
last 40 years of his life, from
1856 to 1896, he lived at Clin-
ton. -
Creswell's pAintings are now
collectors' items, while Hale's
name has just conle batk into
the news because of the repub-
lication,.by the .University,, 'of
Toronto Press, of a book by
Hale 'Which was first published

sary text for the understand-
ing of the history of the Iro-
quois Confederacy. gothing bet-
ter of its kind has been done,
it seems, in the 81 years since
it was first published.
CresSwell obviously did not
pick Seaforth as his permanent..
home because of the subject
matter he found in Huron
'County for his paintings. The
Cresswell paintings which sur-
vive in galleries and private
eollectiens show that he rang-
ed all of Eastern Canada for
his subject matter. The Lake
Huron shoreline attracted him,
and so did fanning scenes of
Canada West in the mid -19th
century, but he ranged Much
more widely than that. In a
rather posh executive office at
the top of the only skyscraper
in Quebec City, the showpiece
item among the furnishings is
a large oil painting showing
sailing ships in the St. Lawr-
ence River at Quebec. The
painting is by William Nichol
Cresswell of Seaforth.
Hale obviously did not pick
Clinton as his permanent home
because it was convenient for
his Major research int e the
