Bibliography

Primary Sources (Manuscript)

Most of the letters and documents used in the preparation of this thesis are not

yet generally available to the public. The private papers of the Right Honorable

Lester B. Pearson have been collected and transferred to the Public Archives of

Canada, but have not been opened to public examination. The papers in the

custody of the Privy Council are expressly exempt from the regulations which require

the automatic transfer of documents of historical significance to the Public

Archives. In addition to these two collections of documents I have in my own

possession papers, letters, and documents which have not been published.

Because of my role in the flag question in Canada, I enjoyed the special confidence

of the prime minister and was therefore privileged to examine considerable

unused primary source material, such as Mr. Pearson's papers and the

papers in the Privy Council Office, and to draw from them such data as I considered

necessary for the preparation of this account.

Primary Sources (Printed)

In the preparation of this thesis I have made extensive use of the debates in the

Canadian House of Commons. I have also used a number of newspapers which

provided the general outline of the story and of the public attitudes towards the

Canadian flag at different periods of our history.

Debates of the House of Commons, Ottawa, 1904;1906;1910-1911;1925-1939;

1942-1965.

Debates of the Senate, Ottawa, 1946; 1956-1958; 1960-1965.

Newspapers, including, Toronto Globe and Mail; Toronto Telegram; Montreal

Gazette; Ottawa Citizen; Ottawa Journal,' Brockville Recorder; Saint

John TelegraphJournal,' The Maple Leaf (London).

Minutes and Evidence of the meetings from 29 March to Tuesday 9 April of the

Joint Committee of the House of Commons and the Senate, appointed

to make a study of and report upon the choice of a distinctive national

flag for Canada (Ottawa, Kings's Printer, 1946).
