Full text of the message fol-
lows:
The First of July is the 87th
anniversary of Confederation. On
that day in 1867 the Canadian
state was created. It was a great
step forward in the development
of Canadian nationhood. and the
collaboration of the two nations
which make up our country —
French Canada and English-
speaking Canada.

Canadians have fought for a
long time to achieve national

freedom. Our country is the
creation of the labor of the peo-
ple who built it. The people
have defeated and will defeat all
foreign attempts to dominate or
destroy it. . :
Confederation left many . un-
settled questions. French Can-
ada does not yet possess full na-
tional equality and the unrestrict-
ed right to determine its own
affairs. We do not have a Bill
of Rights which guarantees to
each citizen rights which cannot
be taken away by dictatorial gov-
ernments. There is not yet a

democratic Canadian institution,
adopted by Canadians. We are
still in the main governed by the
British North America Act, an
act of the British parliament.
We do not have a distinctive
Canadian flag. a
Canadians will solve these de-
mocratic questions as they have
all others, in their great popular
movements. 2
Today, after two world wars,
and at a time when a third,
atomic, world war threatens to
destroy civilization, the resolve
of all Canadians must be to work
