Rights issues
reflected in
growth of LDR

“The League for Democratic
_ Rights should develop a wide cam-

paign to see that repressive legis- |)

lation is repealed and that, as a
Positive step for the protection of
civil liberties, a Canadian Bill of
Rights is introduced into parlia-
ment,” said Miss Elspeth Munro,
local barrister, speaking to an
LDR conference in Electrical
Workers Centre Sunday* morning
this* week. :

Since the first B.C. branch of
the LDR was founded in Feb-
Tuary this year, seven organiza-
tions have affiliated and__ steps
have been taken to establish
Several other branches in the
province, : ’ ‘

When the emergency Powers Act
Was passed in February, * 1951,
Prme Minister St. Laurent. said:
“There is no. desire to bypass
-parliament — The legislation
communicated to parliament,”

“But what is the situation today?
A quorum of the cabinet—that is
four men—can pass laws affecting
all of us, and yet we might never
know what the iaw is until : per-
haps we have been arrested under
it,” said Miss Munro

“That is an intolerable situation.
We need to awaken interest in the
fight for civil liberties, we must
work together to protect and ex-
pand civili liberties in Canada.”

the spirited parade of English and

A crescendo of denunciation of
the Atlantic War Pact was reached
when Acheson, U.S. state secretary
stepped out of his car, “Go Homé@
Acheson” was the cry of the peace
demonstrators. "Go Home Yanks.”
Earlier Acheson had _ to run the
gauntlet of a: demonstration of
Canadian young folk who, for an
hour paraded before the American
Embassy under the. banner “End
the Yankee Occupation of Canada!”

One American, who claimed to be
a minister, tried desperately to
provoke a brawl with the demon-
strators. He tried to tear the war
medals from the breast of Camille
Dionne, Montreal veteran. He tore
at flags and banners, all the time
shouting’ wildly “Go back to Rus-
sia.” : are

This American, who had pre-

viously been observed coming out
of the U.S. embassy and who hal
the gall to tell Canadians to “go
back to Russia” was unable to
get the support of more than three
of the many hundreds of spectators
who watched the demonstrators—
a fact that should not be lost on
those preparing the blueprints for
war in this capital today.

French Canadian
daily denounces
Japanese frealy

‘ MONTREAL
The treaty with Japan which
“the United States forced to be
signed at the point of pistol” may
well lead. to war, said Andre
Laurendeau in a lead editorial
in. the French-Canadian daily Le
Devoir last week. Bs

‘In the editorial “The Comedy of |

San Francisco,” the well-known
nationalist leader declared: “The
Americans impose their treaty on
the British, who accept ‘it in‘ re-
treat. They impose it on the Aus-

tralians and’ on the New Zealan- |

ders. They impose it on the
Philippines, colonies yesterday, pro-
tegees today (the distinction re-
mains fine), They intend to impose
it on their Asian allies, who do not
all say’ ‘Amen - . +» and India is
threatened with loss of her subsi-
dies because she dared turn down
the diktat of Washington. é
“They jeer at China, who was
not invited, although she was the
chief ‘interested party, next to
Japan. They jeer at Russia, and

only too well let her See it.

“What the king wants, the law
wants. What the Americans pro-
pose beconies international law.
One is a Communist or commun-
istic when one denounces this im-
perialism is. now divine right; and
in line with this new theology of
the Throne and the Altar, one be-
comes sacrilegious as soon as one
dares entertain doubts about the
Justice of this treaty.” met

Laurendeau goes’ on to - take
sharp issue with the magazine
America, published in the. U.S. by
the Jesuits, which hailed the Jap-
anese treaty as a “Christian treaty,
reflecting we know, ‘the Christian
convictions of its architect (John
Foster Dulles)”, bn

Le Devoir, in sharp rebuttal of
the Jesuit organ, quoted the re-
cent statement of the Vatican
which opposed the treaty because
“it offends the principles of social
justice and of human rights pro:
claimed by Popes Leo XIII, Pius
“XI, and \Pius XII.”
