SATURDAY. JANUARY 24, 1959. Sd Quebec To Be In American Melting Pot QUEBEC, Jan. Premier Duplessis says that because Quebec is a distinct entity In Canadian life it does not mean the province" has to live in Isolation. People who- claimed Quebec was building a wall of Isolation by affirming the province's character insulted Canadians in all other provinces.

Such people, he said, really infer that the other provinces have no respect for Quebec and its rights. Mr. Duplessis made the remarks in the Legislative As-" lembly yesterday during a discussion a 1 ed by Georges Lapalme, Liberal opposition I ver. 1 1 cnr.tr me province, me from lne of member, who influence of English on spoken! ted Wednesday ,0 upnold French and the possibility of decisl6n of (he changing the names of many- The Wednesday Quebec localities.

Changing Character. Mr. Lepalme deplored the changing character of the province and said there ts a risk that Quebec would be engulfed in the great "American melting He said his remarks were, not meant to diminish the place of the province's English-speaking population. But the French-speaking, surrounded by millions of English-speaking people, had to be mindful of safeguarding their character. Mr.

Duplessis agreed with Mr. Lapalme about the need to examine the possibility of changing the name of many localities. But the Premier said Mr. Lapalme's suggestion for a provincial linguistic office was perhaps beyond the scop of the government.

Mr. Lapalme said film who want to publicize Quebec should try to avoid old cliches which give a false im pression of the province.
