‘Face me on platform’ says
Endicott to Ottawa critics

interests of Canada and humani-
ty first and that there is not one
Canadian statute that I have vio-
lated as is now being recognized
in Ottawa.” :

The -leader of the Canadian
Peace Congress which had spon-
sored a two-day national confer-
ence on peace, arms reduction and
trade in which over 2,800 dele-
gates and observers Participated,
said the parliamentary committee,
in. Ottawa “held a long discus-
sion on something I am supposed
to have said to a Mukden press
conference.” :

He said: “It is allegea that I,
on my own authority, implicated
Canada in warfare. [| did not.
I. gave an honest answer to hon-
est questions about an article in
the Montreal Standard on Can-
ada’s work for germ war (which
had) appeared at length in the
Chinese press.” ;

Dr. Endicott has just returned
from an extended tour of China,
where he was born and where he
served as a United Church mis-
Slonary for 22 years. At the
great Gardens rally, he was in-
troduced by his 88-year-old
father, Very Rev. James Endi-
cott. :

The former moderator of the
United Church said of his son:
“He hasn’t failed us; he hasn’t
failed his father and mother, He’s
as good a boy tonight, despite
all the howling of the lions —
most of them naicured. I’m proud
of him.” He recalled his son’s
childhood in China. “He missed
the sanctified influence of Hol-
lywood, but he had his father
and mother, he had family wor-
ship, every morning. That has
something to’ do with making him
what he has become.”

When chairman Jean Pare in-
troduced the Endicotts, father
and son, the great gathering of
10,000 people stood in tribute.

Dr. Endicott dwelt in detail on
his personal investigation of germ
war charges in Northeast China.

“IT can speak Chinese easily.
As I listened to the testimony of
honest old farmers, — children
whose bright, observant eyes had
spotted tiny, unknown types of
flies, and to medical workers of
all kinds who had carried out
expert culturing and analysis, I
became convinced of. the truth
of the accusation.

“In the part of China where
I investigated, the Americans had
used a large leaflet propaganda
bomb for the dissemination of in-
sects, and a small Porcelain-type
bomb used for spreading germs,

“T personally Saw and handl-
ed pieces of one of these bombs
- It had an aluminum base
about six inches in diameter. It
was made of porcelain with an
aluminum covering and was
of the thickness of medium
cardboard.”

Dr. Endicott described a prop-
aganda leaflet that had fallen on
a newly dug grave and he read
the English markings on it.

“The bomb had stil] not been
properly investigated and I dis-
covered in the head, covered by
a steel plate, two large handfuls
of dirty cotton soaked in a glyc-
erin-like substance. The Chinese
doctors who were with me, were
horrified when they saw me
handling this stuff and immedi-
ately sterilized my hand.”

He outlined other evidence he

es

had seen or which had been re-

ported to him by Chinese scien-
tists. Among them, he said, were

affairs had ignored his first re-

‘Council of Churches.)

|setiled by negotiation, '

‘friends with this pledge and to do

“even more lethal poisons’’ than |
the diseases carried by flies and |
insects. ‘The deadly botulinus
toxin, a thousand times more.
deadly than cyanide of potas-'
sium,” he said, “is being mixed
with dust and in gelatin which
melts in water.’

He said he had ‘‘actually in-
vestigated and handled (with
medica] forceps) spiders which
had been first discovered crawl-
ing around in a field in a tem-
perature below freezing.”

Dr. Endicott said he wondered |
why the department of external

cabled External Affairs Minister
L, B. Pearson from China April
1, He had also cabled the Can-
adian Press an@ the Canadian
And he
said the more he became convinc-
ed that the U.S. was using germ
warfare in China, ‘‘the more I
felt a sense of dismay at this in-
credible moral degeneration of
the Western governments and the
more I felt rising within me a
deep feeling of indignation. This
sort of thing is the essence of
wickedness, a denial of the laws
of God and man.”

Endicott concluded by, reading

Text of
peace pledge

I believe that peace is the only
hope for the future of humanity.

I believe that Canada, my coun-
try, can be secure and prosperous
only in a world at peace.

I believe there are no interna-
tional differences which cannot be

I believe that countries with

differing social and political sys-
tems can live together without
war.
. 1 believe peace can be saved if
the five great powers heed the de-
mand of the peoples and sign a
pact of peace, declaring that un-
der no circumstances will they
make war one upon the other.

I believe an armaments race
can lead only to war, -I am, there-
fore, in favor of the gradual, con-
trolled and simultaneous reduc-
tion of armaments by all coun-
tries, taking into full account the
security needs of each.

I am for the total abolition of
all instruments of mass destruc-
tion of people, such as atomic,:
bacteriological, napalm and simi-
lar weapons.

I am for the restoration of

world trade, for the production of |

commodities that will enrich life,
not destroy it, recognizing that
world trade will assist all peoples
and contribute to peace.
Believing all’ this, I therefore
solemnly pledge to acquaint my
family, my neighbors and my

all in my power to keep Canada
at peace in a world at peace.

proved by the peace conference.
Despite a well-organized at-
tempt to ‘disrupt the meeting,
there were only two small inci-
dents that served to interrupt the
speaker momentarily. The small,
organized detachment, was quick-
ly ejected by police after one or
two weighted firecrackers that

had they struck anyone, exploded

Nels Thibault, Canadian board
member of the International Un-
ion of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers, also spoke briefly. He
brought greeting “to you and all
people who are striving to estab-
lish peace in the world, to ex-
pand world trade, to remove
from the earth weapons of war,
greetings from the one tenth of
one million workers in the min-
ing industry across Canada ‘and
the United States of America.”
He said the fight for peace and

along with us children, neighbors
and friends as we gathered in
service praying: Dear: God —
peace not war; love—not hate;
life—not death; peace and hap-
piness in all the world.”
Mrs. Eva Sanderson, member
of the CCF and of the national
council of the Canadian Peace
Congress, spoke in tribute to
mothers on Mother’s Day. “War,”
she said, ‘‘is the negation of all
the virtues we seek to instill in
our children.’’ She concluded by
saying: “There is
peace—peace is the only way.”
