Pla- cards. were dispensed with and the peace march wound up with a brief meeting at Lumberman’s Arch. On their route through the park before the police inter- fered, the marchers. were cheered by park-goers, with a number joining in the march.

There he continued his narcotics traffic between the U.S. and Mexico until he was arrested and jailed. Last week upon completion of a three-year prison term he was arrested in San Antonio, Texas, by RCMP agents. and returned to Canada for sen- tence in his 1949 conviction. Sisco’s arrival in Canada during the first year of the cold war caused quite an in- ternational stir. An Algerian- born Frenchman, Sisco alias d’Agostini was convicted and sentenced to death by a Tou- lon, France, court in absentia, for cellaborating with the Nazis during the occupation of France. The St. Laurent government, however, was too concerned with screening immigrants for possible left-wing sympathies to heed the protests against Sisco’s being admitted to the country.
