OTTAWA (CP) -- Tall, spare Howard Charles Green is lively proof that a man can change his outlook on life even when he’s fairly well on in years. _

What changed Mr. Green—or, at least, that. side of him which the public sees—was a govern- ment portfolio after 22 years on the opposition benches in the Commons. Now Mr. Green, 63, is.Canada’s new external affairs

The bespectacled Mr. Green was dour and unhumorous when in opposition. He used to drive the Liberals nearly frantic with his unrelentmg curiosity about the most minute details of govern- ment business.

WILL SPLIT A COMMA

A delegate at the 1956 conven- tion which chose Mr. Diefenbaker as Progressive Conservative leader said of Mr. Green after a long private session of a resolu- tions committee: “That man Green, he'll even try to split a comma.”’ .

The industrious, dogged Van- couver lawyer was once de- scribed by former Liberal trade minister C. D. Howe as a peram- bulating prognosticator of gloom who stalked the halls of Parlia-

stiletto in the other.

Nobody would dream of apply- ing this description today. Mr. Green is a changed man, with an expansive good humor that dis- arms the opposition.

When the Liberals and the CCF criticize in the Commons, Mr. Green says with a broad grin: “You're just whining. Believe me, because I know something about whining. I used to be about the best whiner in the House.”

It’s hard to get angry at a man who wisecracks after 22 unsmil- ing years and the opposition re- gards Mr. Green with affection.

Mr. Green has been a “‘Diefen- baker man” for years and holds the prime minister in the highest esteem. He never talks out of turn or makes statements that might later turn out to be em- barrassing to the government. LOYALTY RECIPROCATED

His loyalty to the prime min- ister is fully reciprocated. He is senior member of the cabinet and acting prime minister when Mr. Diefenbaker is away. He is min- ister of public works and govern- ment House leader and before Hon. Raymond O'’Hurley’s ap- pointment also held the portfolio of defence production for 11

ment with Bibie in one hand and

months. He sits on the prime min-

current of resentment.. Perhaps it is inevitable that Canadians should be irritated by some of the consequences of the fact that the United States is so muca rith- er than Canada. Some of the grievances that arise are real ones; and these lend a certain credibility to the succession of less important issues. INDEPENDENCE

The problem is not, of course, merely an economic matter. Many Canadians are far more concerned with the iofluence of

theth.--Younger children often want to be like their brothers and sisters; but older ones want to

ence; it is the strong family re- semblance that is often found in spite of the most widely diver- gent opinions.

For example: when Canadians want to be themselves, to stress their independence, is it not, un- consciously, perhaps. an Ameri- ean image \of independence that they are striving for?

CITIZENSHIP

Again: when we talk of immi- grants as “‘new Canadians,” be- | coming “successful citizens” in; our communities, is this not an!
