Windsor Star Suggests

Canada A Free Nation
Only If It Suits U.S.

If Canada should vote into
power a Communist form of
government or changed its soci-
ety, then the door would be
opened to war on our territory.
That is the implication left by re-
cent remarks by President John
F. Kennedy of the United States.
In discussing the Cuban situation

and particularly the blundering by
the United States, Mr. Kennedy has
warned what would happen if the
nations of this hemisphere “should
fail to meet their commitments
against outside Communist penctra-
.” He said the United States
would not hesitate in meeting “its
primary obligations which are to the
security of our own nation.”

There was no mention of Canada
being excluded from the Kennedy
doctrine. One must presume that if
this country got so far off base as to
elect Mr. Tim Buck and his Com-
munist party into power in a free and
democratic election, United States
forces would start pouring across the
Detroit River.

This thinking could be carried a
step further. If this happened, Mr.
Buck would no doubt call upon Soviet
Russia and other Communist coun-
tries for support. We would become

another Laos, Korea or Vietnam.
One shudders to think of this possi-

bility but it could occur, even though
the possibility is remote. And some of
our statesmen and leaders have voiced
indignation, disbelief and fears of
such a policy.

If Canada wanted to change its
society or form of government, and
that change is frowned upon by the
United States, just what right would
that country have to send tanks rol-
ling up the lawn on Parliament Hill
and force the House of Commons to
bow to the will of another country?

The thought that a country cannot
change its system of government by
a vote of the majority of its people
is alien to all teachings of freedom,
which the United States expounds at
every opportunity. It is the denial of
the principle of self-determination
which is the heart of our democratic
system. -

Mr. Kennedy’s policies are causing
great concern both at home and
abroad.

He should remember that it was an
American president, Theodore Rosse-
velt, who said: “Speak softly and
carry a big stick.”

YOUR GUARDIANS OF A GREAT TRADITION

Ours is an age of anxiety. We worry constantly about all manner of things. In some industries, for example,
workers worry about the effect of automation: will machines replace
At home, housewives and mothers worry about the quality of the products they buy. Will the shoes she buys
for little Johnny stand up like they.used to. This is a question with real meaning.
All this leads back to the philosophy of the Paris family:

“Only Man can Profit by Experience, and Experience is Best Handed Down within the Family”

men

At Pierre Paris & Sons we are happy that our third generation is just picking up this precious thread of ex-
perience: Three generations have learned to refine, to improve, to seek for an ever higher standard of quality.
These are men proud of their craft, as ancient as history itself. Machines have come along since the day Pierre
founded the business in 1907. Where they have proved capable of serving the family quest for higher quality,
they have been accepted. But they have never displaced men.

FOR NEVER IN MACHINES, ONLY IN MAN HIMSELF, RESIDES THE KIND OF PRIDE IN RAMILY
AND TRADITION WHICH HAS MADE THE PARIS BRAND FAMOUS FOR NEARLY SIXTY YEARS.
