VANCOUVER (CP) -The hero's welcome given Quebec Premier Rene Levesque on his Sunday return from France wus probably politically arranged and not a sign of mass support, a federal cabinet minister said Monduy. Marc Lalondc, minister of stute for federal-provincial relations, said in an interview thut the Mirabel airport welcoming crowd, estimated at 10,000, was more likely arranged than spontaneous. "I am sure it was arranged by the Quebec cabinet, by the Parti Quebecois" to show the popularity of its leader, he said.

Lalonde said Canadians should not get excited about the manner in which the French government feted Levesque. He said he must accept Frances assurances that it docs not intend to interfere in Canada's internal affairs. "I would not dedure war on France over it," he said. "I think we have to keep our cool about it. "We are going to review the whole situation in terms of our relationship with Frunce.

But I think it is important that we do not do things on our side to purposely damage our relationship with France." Frances award of the Legion of Honor to Levesque, said Lalondc, was not a major protocol breach, even thoiigh Canadian law bans the acceptance of such foreign honors by Canadian citizens. This country wont be made or broken with a piece of ribbon," he said, adding that France treated Levesque the way it has treated representatives of emerging African states. "I think the people of Quebec are getting fed up with all these symbolic activities," he said. Lalonde predicted that the Levesque government would lose its proposed referendum on Quebec separation 'or Asked what the federal fovernment would do if cvesque should win the referendum, Lalondc said that since Levesque himself has said he would not be bound by it but will treat it only as a guide, the federal government would do the same. Lalonde held a private meeting Monday with the national unity committee of the Vancouver Board of Trade.

R. G. Rogers, chairman of the board's unity committee, said the committee's consensus was that "we arc very pleased" with the meeting. Asked if members were critical, he said: "No. I think the federal government arc doing everything in their power.

To separate the economic issues from the emotional issues is very difficult but I think they have put Jhcir priorities in the proper order now." This has been shown, Rogers said, by the new emphasis the federal government has placed on economic ssucs as of prime importance and "not unrelated to the unity situation."

The reports of un impending price increase contrasted with a statement Sunday by U.S. Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal, who said after returning from visits to Saudi Arabia, Iran and Kuwait that he thought there was a chance OPLC would not raise prices for some time.
