PAGE 2, THE HERALD, Tuesday, March.21, 1978 Canadian troops will be safe, effective if sent to Lebanon OTTAWA (CP) — Canada is reluctant to send troops to & new UnitednNatlona peacekeeping force in Lebanon until it receives assurances it will be both safe and effective, External Affairs Minister Don Jamieson sald Monday. Answering questions in the Commons from Opposition Leader Joe Clark and others, the minister repeated past statements that Canada has approved in principle par- lcipation In the force. But he added there is need for stronger assurances than have so far been received that Israel will pull out ofn- the buffer zone it has created and will heed a UN force. At the same time there was concernnwhether the nOrganization (PLO) and the Syrian peacekeeping force in Lebanon will abide by the UN mandate creating the force. Clark criticized Janiieson for not bringing Parliament into the process of deciding whether to participate in the UN force, called for by a resolution of the Security Council during the weekend, NO DECISION Canada already has about 1,10 troops in the Middle East on peacekeeping duty and Jamieson sald no decision has been made on how these can or cannot be involved in the Lebanon force, which UN secretary- general says will number 4,000, Jamieson expressed some doubt whether Canada could provide the same logistical services to thenew force that it is providing with Poland to the present force. There was some discussion about treating all the for- ces-- the new one, the force on the Golan Heights bet- ween Israel and Syria and the one In the Sinal between Egypt and Israel—as one force for some purposes. If that happened the techniaans based mainly in Egypt could play a role in Lebanon. wr “ Defence Minister Barney Danson, asked by Clarknabout the Canadian role, could only say the task has not yet been defined.

The newspaper says a 1976 study undertaken by sociology professor Gary Caldwell and a group from Bishop's University shows that 91 per cent of 862 anglophone high school students graduating in 1971 had left the province five years later. About 13,000 students graduated from Quebec’s English-fpeaking high schools in 1971. The Star says the migration was blamed on the — attitude of English Qliebetersin general and the school, pystem in particular because it ignored Quebec's French reality by turning aut Quebec English students whose bill- ngualism rate was only 23 per cent. Another study of students at two English universities and three junior collegea in Montreal showed that 37 per cent of 1,942 respondents surveyed intended to leave Qkebec within the next five years and another 19 per cent were unsure of: their - futurein Quebec.

Highlight of Trudeau's twoday visit is a speech and question-answerlng stasion Wednesday to a hblack-tle erowd of about 2,000 Wall Street leaders at an Economie Club of New York — dinner, scene of a similar appearance by Quebec Premier Rene Levesque more than a year ago. Levesque usednthe oc- casion to make the case for Quebec independence and as aresult, critics said, added further to foreign business nervousness over Canada’s political and = economic health. His speech prompted a review ofnthe province's credit rating by leading U.S. bond-rating agencies and started a slide in the value of Quebec asbestos company shares. Trudeau aides say they hope the prime minister will have the opposite effect, assuring the group of cor- porate policy-setters that the attle against Quebec separatism is being won, and that Canada continues to be worthy of foreign in- vestment. : Today, Trudeau calls on Seeretary-General Kurt Waldhelm of the United Nations in what. was originally planned asia - courtesy visit, but now has become a timely chance to “Thora is no road or ready way to virtue.” Thomas Browne ‘discuss Canada's role in 4 UN-endorsed pian to install eacekeeping troops in eselged southern Lebanon.
