All should get out Tre Dorion Commission report has established what was ; already fairly widely known but not confirmed that of criminal elements having direct liaison with the highest circles of government, right into the Justice department and its RCMP brass. One of the first results of the Dorion report was the “resignation” of M. Guy Favereau, Minister of Justice from his cabinet post in the Liberal hierarchy. The second and most astounding result was Prime Minister Pearson’s “plea” (made no doubt with an eye to Quebec Liberal: votes) that M. Favereau is a “most honorable” man, and would be a “great loss” to the nation were his services not retained. So, with a few back-handed swipes at his own Dorion commission, Mr. Pearson proposes -another cabinet post for M. Favereau — for a minister who has been proven derelict in the post he previously held. In this Mr. Pearsun has given the whole nation a “lead”. Whether the nation takes it or not is something else. It is that Mr. Pearson and his whole government should be unceremoniously removed from the responsibil- ity of government—a responsibility Mr. Pearson and his Favereaus have amply demonstrated they are unfitted to hold. Rattling rockets? The Vancouver, Sun editorial last Monday entitled “Rat- tling Rockets Again” should have been addressed to U.S. President Johnson not to the Soviet Union. The edi- torial in question accused Communist Party secretary Leo- nid Brezhnev of rattling rockets when he said last week that Soviet missiles are sufficient to deal with any aggres- sor. What the Sun editorial completely failed to mention was that Brezhnev’s statement came in reply to an Ameri- can boast that it had more rockets than the Soviet Union ~~ it had the most powerful strike force in the world. Brezhnev charged the U.S. with resorting to nuclear blackmail and hastened to caution the madmen in the Pen- tagon not to be carried away with illusions of overwhelm- ing superiority. The Soviet Union did a service for world peace with the statement aimed to cool off the U.S. warhawks whose nuclear hardware is spread around the world. The Sun editorial would have served a more useful purpose if it had also taken the U.S. to task for rattling its rockets. Tom McEWEN eace with honor!’ It’s anold P gag used by every apologist for brutal war and aggression since exploitation became a way- of-life for the monopoly belly- robbers of this society we call capitalism, The professional army brass killer, the sauve diplomat, the financial pirate, the double- talking politician, the “man of God” who pursues his dirty poli- tics behind the “cloth” of his calling, the plain or fancy crook, all parrot the well-worn cliche of “peace with honor,” and es- pecially when the tide of their murderous war adventures are running against them, “We Americans,” the notorious Al Capone once said, “must stand together against the evil menace of bolshevism,” Capone did alot of killing in his day, a lot of “rubbing out” of competitors in his own special racket and of innocent victims who accidently got in the line of fire of his gangland hoodlum artillery, But Capone’s idea of “honor” on that instance was widely quoted. by the American press of that day, just as it is today against the background of U.S, aggres- sion upon the people of Vietnam, It may also be recalled in con- nection with the Capone brand of “honor” that any stretch he did in prison was not for running up a high murder score, but for default of income tax payments to the federal tax authorities — -the government’s cut in the Ca-. pone crime receipts, Under the hammer-blows of world opinion and demands for peace in Vietnam, and the fact that it is beginning to dawn upon City Council should move Vancouver City Council held a public hearing last Wednesday afternoon to get the advice of its citizenry on how best to go about promoting a capital expenditure program, designed to overcome the setback received by the pro- posed five-year plan last De- cember, Appearing for the Communist Party of Vancouver, acting sec- retary Charles Caron suggested two key steps council should un- dertake immediately to overcome its crisis of financing, These were: 1, Work out a more democratic basis of levying civic taxes by forcing those interests extracting huge profits out of the city to pay more taxes, thus relieving the burden on small homeowners, 2. Demand in amuch more energetic fashion anew deal from the senior governments, whereby these would pay a much greater share of socially necessary capi- tal expenditures, Caron pointed out it must be the solemn duty of council to recognize the social needs of the an overwhelming success, Aist Avenue, Street at 3 p.m, Feinberg meeting Thursday Major peace organizations in Vancouver are throwing their support behind efforts to make the Rabbi Feinberg meeting The meeting, sponsored by an ad hoc committee of prominent citizens, is being held Thursday, July 15 at 8 p.m, in the Jewish Community Centre, 950 W.
