Liberation Front labs iesage ‘Collabdrator’

MONTREAL (CPL-The Front do Liberation Quebecois (Que- bcc Liberation Front) issued a statemen ay saying its next sabotage attempt has been named Operation Jean Lesage.

The statement from the fa- natic separatist group said Mr. Lesage "recently went to the defence of colonialism."

lt sai the premier had thus shown “his true face, that of a shameless collaborator. hungry “or power. and a traitor to his people.

“In his honor our next at- tempt has been named: ‘Oper- ation Jean Lesa e'."

The statement said it has no connection with “other legal movements which exist due to the approval of Her very Brit- ish Majesty."

OTHERS CRITICIZE FLQ

Such separatist groups as the Rassemblement p o u r l'lnde- pendance Nationale (National Independence Rally) and the Parti Republicain du Quebec lQuebeC Republican Party), which urge Quebec’s secession

from confederation by legal means. have criticized’ the FLQ's acts of violence.

The statement said no mem- ber of the FLQ has been in touch with newspapers, and ex- pressed “regret that certain persons outside the movement have "given interviews in our

11

The most recent such inter- view was with a Montreal news- paper' which quoted a named "Claude" as saying that CNR president Donald Gordon "must be killed."

The FLQ said its sabotage campaign is against federal symbols and institutions. adding it would never attack “places which could place innocent lives in danger: For example, hospi- tals. schools, churches."

In recent weeks, the FLQ has claimed responsibility for a

bomb that exploded in the fed- eral income tax building in Montreal, and for the placing of Molotov cocktails in three Mont- real armorics.

' RED DEER, Alta. (CPi—Na- lional Social Credit Leader Rob- ert Thompson says he has been )oid that "a rather handsome remuneration" was proposed in a bid to get some Quebec Social Credit members of Parliament to join the Liberal party. a In an nterview, recorded Sat- grday by radio station CKRD ed Deer, 1'. Thompson said he heard the report a few days hgo “but I didn’t think this would actually take place." '- “Whether it has now, I don’t know,” he said. . r. Thompson was comment-

Quebec had been asked to rec- ommend four members who might be most easily influenced toward joining the Liberals and in return were offered a rather handsome remuneration for it," he said.

Mr. Thompson said he had asked his party whip. Dr. Guy Marcoux and Marcel Lessard, chairman of the party's caucus. to hold an investigation into the statement because “certainly none of our members have the right to go ahead and make an arrangement of their own."

The Social Credit leader said he does not plan to go to Ottawa until after a holiday.

He was not available for com- ment on a statement from Real Caouette, deputy party leader, criticizing the way Mr. Thomp- son handled the investigation. Mr. Caouette said he should

have been consulted first.

WASHINGTON (CP) — The Washington Post says an ad- ministration headed by Liberal Leader Lesier B. Pearson will be “a very tough and independ- ent kind of Canadian govern- ment” and not one that would

bow to the will of the United States.

In an silo-word editorial, The Post urges Americans to dis- miss from their minds any thought that just because Pear-

meon the U.S. now will have its :way in Canada.

Mr. Samuel said the first con,- tract let locally was to a Spring- ihlll, N.S.. company for the manufacture of batteries.

However. only a few Cans-z diam-made parts will be in-; cluded in the first automobiles soon going into production.

“Because of the short time allowance we gave ourselves to get into production, we will be-

“As we progress we will add components . . . this Providing of course. that quality and prch can be maintained."
