dignified voice.
- “Wide, all - inclusive sup-

scientists, workers and profes-

cause,” she said.
“Many, who first entered

from the point of view of
clemency, have now become
convinced of his innocence
and are demanding a full
pardon.”

overwhelming
support for Sobell’s cause
continues to grow. People
from all walks of life in Bri-

release. Queen Mother Eliza-

an eloquent appeal for execu-°

Kennedy.
“What is now needed,” his
courageous mother said, “is
for the greatest possible num-
ber of messages and appeals
to the President, as well as
funds with which to continue
the court fight for my son’s
release.”
Despite the fact that she
has been away from home

Sobell is full of fight.

mother fighting tenaciously
for him, Morton Sobell is as-
sured of victory.

THE BIG PLAN:
Kennedy master strateg
super state of the north
In a feature article by’
Knowlton Nash in its May
26 issue, the Financial Post
revealed that Washington’s
long-term plans call for the
creation of a “super state
of the North” which would
include Canada, the USS.,
Japan, and all the countries
of the European Common
Market, and would “mean
the end of an independent
Canada or U.S. or U.K.”
Nash shows that already a
considerable number of top-
ranking U.S. politicians have
“been pushing this strategy,
but so far “government of-
ficials speak of it only in pri-
vate. In public they fog their
ideas. to avoid being over-
whelmed by strong national-
istic thinking.”
The National Planning As.
sociation in the U.S. recently
decided to take the gloves off,
however. It issued a foreign
policy statement in which it
points out that sovereignty
can be dispensed with quite
painlessly and asserts:
“As the experience to date
of the ECM shows, consider.
able integration in economic,
defence and even political
fields can take place without
the participating countries
having explicity to face the
question of a formal transfe1
of significant portions of na-
tional sovereignty to new
central institutions.”
“The first step to anything
like these thoughts,” says
Nash, ‘is the British entry
into the Common Market.
“In spite of warnings from
Prime Minister Macmillan
that this must not be viewed
as certain,” he goes on, ‘most
observers, in fact, do not take
that view. In their mind, it
would be ‘catastrophic’ if
Britain did not join the Com-
mon Market. The entire new
Kennedy program, for in-
stance, is predicated on
British membership in the
Common Market.
“Once the British are in the
Common Market, the next
step is to adopt closer eco-
‘
nomic links between Europe
and North America and Ja-
pan. As these links are de-
veloped, in trade and in
monetary and fiscal policies,
the day will come when poli-
tical links will be hardened.”
(Emphasis ours—PT).
Nash candidly admits that
“Ottawa would become a
kind of provincial capital
” and that ‘“Common-
weeith trade _ preferences
must disappear and the soon-
er the better. Washington
doesn’t want Britain to take
any preferences into the Com-
mon Market.”
In a front-page editorial in
the same issue, headed ‘The
Big Plan’, the FP hails the
super-state idea as beiné
master plan as work
by Kennedy’s Policy
ning Commission in the
State Department” and
cludes by saying;
ada is going to be ewept
in the tide of events:
ada’s view of the. Bis
won’t make much diffe
to the outcome.”
The prominent displ?
this sellout to state-mon
capital as presented by
FP serves to once agai ne
light the fact that th
munist Party is the 0
nadian political party °

CIVIL LIBERTIES CAMPAI
. The Canadian Council of
National Groups is stepping
up its fight for civil liberties
as election day draws near. |
The fact that thousands of
Canadians, many of whom
have’ lived here for 40 years
and more and have helped to
build this country and yet are
arrogantly refused the right
to vote, is being brought
home to thousands of Can-
dian citizens.
