No mortgage
moratoriums

OTTAWA

The government has again re-
jected proposals to declare a
moratorium on mortgage pay-
ments for unemployed workers.

In reply to representations
made by Earl Watson, president
of United Auto Workers’ Local
195, on eviction notices issued to
unemployed “owners” of Central
Mortgage and Housing units in
Windsor, Maurice Bourget, assist-
ant public works minister told
the House of Commons on June
7 that “having regard to its re-
sponsibility for the management
of public funds, the corporation
does not follow a policy of waiv-
ing or postponing the collection
of monthly instalments on a
wholesale basis.”

He said cases would be dealt

with on an individual basis and
“only such measure of relief as
circumstances of each individual
case may warrant is given.”

Just a few days later Gen-
eral Gruenther visited Ot
tawa, talked: to the press,
the cabinet, MPs and sena-
tors about the need for
“unity of the partners in
NATO” and so impressed
one MP, Elmore Philpott
(Liberal, Vancouver South)
that he wrote in his daily

Vancouver Sun column:

“If we get in a room
with the best type of Am-
erican, such as General
Gruenther, we feel an inv
mediate and real sense of
kinship. We feel that he
talks and thinks just as we
do. We feel that he wants
exactly the same things in
the world as we want —

and what’ is far more im-
portant, we get to know
that he would never start
something which we all
would not approve.”

Addlepated Elmore Phil-
pott had better read what
General Gruenther said in
his London _ speech, and
think what ‘‘going along’
with General _Gruenther
will mean.

“If war should take place
three years from now,’
General Gruenther told his
wealthy and sympathetic

audience in London, “‘we
visualise we would use
atomic weapons. In our
