clear -majority of ready t9
vote for a maple leaf flag,p
position leader Diefenbaker'S
insistence on keeping the de -
hate going has forestalled- a
final and deciding vote. Now
Mr. Diefenbaker Says that un -
leas 13 or 14 of the 15 mem-
bers of the flag committee are
able to reach agreement, the
debate should start all over
again.
Majority rule means simply
that — a clear majority of
more than 50 per .cent. Mr.
Diefenbaker's insistence of an
80 to 90 per cent majority be-
fore the flag can become a fact
makes one thankful such ma-
jorities have not been needed
on more important issues. Not
a single major law would•have
been °fleeted since Confedera-
tion 'if this kind of majority
had been required,
By RAY ARGYLE
Canadians are supposed to be
great compromisers. One prime
minister — Mackenzie King —
built his entire career on his
apparent ability to bring togeth-
er conflicting points of • view.
Why, then, then, has the country
been unable to reach a *majer-
ity agreement on a national
flag?
The chief reason, and the
sooner it be recognized the bet-
ter, lies in the division of the
nation in racial blocs — Eng-
lish, French, Ukrainian, Italian,
etc.
This was not so apparent dur-
ing the many years in which
Canadians of British stock dom-
inated the political, commercial,
and cultural life of the country.
But since. the last war, the in-,
fluence of the British element
has been declining.
That this has happened in
Canada is due largely to the
Canadian system of encourag-
ing various national groups to
retain their distinctive identity.
In the United States, by con-
trast, the melting pot. 9f immi-
gration has created one great
mass of 'citizenry—Americans.
Americans have reached a
national consensus, on most fun-
damental issues. There is," for
'instance, general support for
the free enterprise system mod-
ified by welfare state measures.
In only one important area of
American life has a national
consensus not been reached—
the Negro question. But the
tide. is there for all to. see—
and equal rights for the Negro
will be achieved. within this
generation.
Diversity of .attitudes and
customs can be an attractive
trait, ‚espeCially when compar-
ed with the drugging conform-
ity that runs so strongly
through American life. But di-
versity will not ensure the sur-
vival of a country. For that,
there must be a sense of national
purpose among all groups which
overcomes their differences.
Canada has failed to achieve
this sense of national purpose.
You can see it in the flag de-
bate, not only in parliament,
but in millions of living rooms
and offices across- the country.
The flag debate aroused just as
much emotion among Cana-
dians gathered privately. in
their homes as it has in Parlia-
ment. Little wonder, then, that
Parliament has haggled over
this for months,
Parliament's decision to send
the flag issue to a 15 -man com-
mittee may open the way for a
settlement, but the chances are
50-50 that before Christmas the
House of Commons will, once
More be gripped by unending
debate.

The decision to send the flag
to committee has probably kill-
ed all chances of Prime Mini-
ster Pearson's three -leaf flag
being adopted. The tri -leaf flag
will never be able to rid itself
of the derogatory label of the
"Pearson pennant."
The members of the commit-
tee have been promised a mini-
mum of interference by their
party leaders. Freed from the
shrill debate of Mr. Diefen-
baker, the committee might in-
deed be able to reach a.consen-
sus. If it fails, it will be be

to put aside their group inter-

interest.
