~ JOE WALLACE,

Octogenarian.

His has been a life of struggle

for the cause which he holds dear
with the fight and aspiration

of a seer.

As a fighter’s life is lonely,

and a seer’s pay is low,

so his loves and laughter vanished
like the snow.

For his dreams and for his scanty
extacies he must atone

ina silent.world around him,

all alone.

But although his eye is tired,
straining for the dawn afar,
still he sees the faintly twinkling
morning star.
—Henry Meyer
Joe Wallace marks his 80th
birthday on Oct. 29.

CBW WARFARE

Canadian, Victoria, B.C.
writes: That recently-dumped
nerve gas was probably tested,
perfected, and partly developed

- in CBW labs in Suffield, Alta.

In 1952 an international team
of scientists from Sweden,
France, Italy, Russia, Brazil and
England found the US guilty of
germ warfare in Korea.
Nevertheless, despite our
signature on the Geneva
Protocol of 1925, and déspite the
recent relentless rise of plague
in Vietnam, we go on helping
with germs too.

The US Army Field Manual
FM-3-10 outlines some of CBW’s
advantages: (1) Search Ability-
Clouds of germs or gas can cover
large areas. (2) Germs and the
deadly colorless, odorless gases
give no warning. (3) No escape—
These clouds penetrate tunnels,
houses, and underground
shelters (raising the body-count
nicely even if no troops are
there.)

When West Germany was
admitted to NATO. in 1954, she
promised, as we had in 1925, to
make no chemical or biological
weapons. However, during the
winter of ’68-’69, eight West
German scientists defected to
the East, stating they could no
longer assist in offensive work
“of the greatest detriment to
mankind.”’

ate in 1968: Dra Use
Franklin, associate science
professor at the University of
Toronto, and two other national
executive members of the Voice
of Women talked with officials at
Suffield. They asked whether
Parliament sets guidelines for
the kind of work being done, why
there has never been a Parlia-

mentary review of it, and ~

whether there is a chance of
shared Canadian know-how
being used offensively by the
WES:

Mr. A.M. Pennie, one of the
Suffield heads, replied that the
Suffield people have no responsi-
bility for what others may do
with shared information. He
showed a marked allergy for the
word NUREMBURG .. .

Later Mr. Pennie refused an
invitation from Science Forum
to answer Dr. Franklin’s article
in that journal. A public panel,
arranged by the University of
Toronto on defence research had
to be cancelled when our
‘‘defence’’ Research Board
refused to send a repre-
sentative. Yet in many countries
concerned scientists have

challenged their nation’s CBW -

programs and started demo-
cratic discussion. :
Why not here?

P.S. Material for this letter is
taken from The Last Post, Dec.
1969 Canadian Dimension,
June/July, 1970; Science Forum,

June, 1970 and from Chemical

and Biological Warfare, by
Seymour Hersh, who spent three
years researching his material.

U.S. TAKEOVER

R.S., Vancouver, writes: Six
or seven years ago we dis-
tributed leaflets — thousands of
them — the gist of which warned
of Yankee encroachment on the
resources of Canada and asked
“Are we to be hewers of wood
and haulers of water?”

Since that time this saying has
been mouthed by politicians of
all makes, even Diefenbaker.
Many people showed such a keen
interest in the leaflet that
thousands more of them were
called for. It was so popular, so
well distributed, that it was
denounced, as usual, by the
phonies as Communist
propaganda. When this happens
we know it was a success.

However, Comrade Editor,

since that time we have lost
ground. Thousands of acres of
ground have gone to the
Yankees. Look at Houston and
Kispiox, thousands of acres of
the Cariboo, where when some
poor chap applies for a
homestead, the opposing force to
his application is usually the
Cattle Ranchers Association,
made up of Yankees. You might
go to your favorite fishing hole
and be told you are trespassing,
by some Yank who has acquired
a give-away tree farm, plus the
thousands of other losses too
numerous to mention.

Now since Mr. Hickle has been
made Minister Of the Interior, it
has been made quite simple for
any Yank to purchase large
tracts of land in Canada, or large

business chains. There are.

agencies in many parts of the
States associated with the
Minister where loans to
purchase such are available.
Between this and our give-away
boys in Victoria, how long can
we be an independent nation?

We have in our universities
people who are giving courses on
pollution. We also have a govern-
ment that issues permits to

~ pollute. Their latest is a pulp
mill on the Quesnel River. The
work has already started.

A number of the local people
are opposed, but to no avail.
Comrade Editor, this is the last
straw when such a beautiful
river should be ruined forever by
foreign investors and pollutors.

We must remember, the fight
against pollution and foreign
takeover is the fight for
socialism, so I am sending you
$25.00 in the hope that a number
of your readers will do the same

— to ‘‘leaflet’’ the province, or take

some form of mass rally to
really indicate some action.

What are we leaving for our
children?
