	Many people in Quebec think that a Montreal world's fair would be a fine way to celebrate the centennial of Confederation in 1967. A small but growing minority of their neighbors are working just as diligently for an event that would not only spoil the fun but would wreck Confederation itself — the secession of the province and its transformation into a French-speaking North American republic. In the flaring argument, veterans of Quebec's famed Royal 22nd Regiment ~~forthnight~~ ago branded the separatists as "traitors", offered to fight if necessary to save Confederation. Last week the separatists ripped a union jack from a flag-pole at the Sherbrooke Canadian Legion and painted the words "traitor" and "liberty" on the Montreal home of Lawyer Paul Aubut, a former president of the Van Doos veterans.

	Separatist sentiment has been smoldering for generations in French Canada. But serious suggestions that partition was the cure for French Canadians' so-called second-class citizenship in English Canada have been rare indeed. The new agitation for a "Republic of Laurentia" began with the business recession and consequent unemployment, which revived the smoldering resentment over ~~Quevec~~'s financial and commercial domination by English Canadians. Ultranationalists began talking loudly about the virtues of secession. Separatists now amount to three small but bellicose groups. They range from left to ferocious right, share only common ethnic backgrounds and a yen for a free Quebec.
