‘Dirt gathers dirt’

L ester B. Pearson and his Liberal Party stalwarts made
-& a highly-suspect move when they decided to run the
gamut of a general election in order to avoid a long-over-
due “housecleaning” job. ;

On this “housecleaning” job which the Dorion Re-
port made clear should not be longer delayed, showed Mr.
Pearson something less than a capable housekeeper. All he
managed was to move one suspect Liberal minister from
one corner of the Liberal boudoir to the other, dust him
off with a few well-chosen words about “service to the
country’, and sweep the rest of the narcotics-bribery-fur-
niture dirt ‘under the rug”, hoping that the electorate,
under the mesmerism of pre-election “promises”, would
“forget and forgive”.

Any housewife could give Mr. Pearson, should he so
desire some elementary instruction on the art of good
housecleaning, some basic advice on the subject. She
could advise him for instance that “dirt gathers dirt” and
that it doesn’t go away of itself by pretending it isn’t
there, or by swooshing it “under the rug”.

In point of fact since Mr. Pearson and his Liberal en-
tourage got out on the “promising” trail, (but carefully

avoiding any “promises” on the subject of “‘houseclean- _

ing”), the Establishment under Liberal janitorship gets
progressively dirtier.

Now on top of dope peddlers, bribery, “gracious liv-
ing” furniture deals and similar dickerings in high Liberal
circles, we now have a bankruptcy and arson racket, prob-
ably netting its promoters millions of dollars, with John Q.
Public “getting it in the neck”, as usual.

As in the Rivard, furniture and similar “emoluments-

* of-office” shenanigans, Mr. Pearson utters a loud and em-
phatic “denial” of any bankruptcy report to “his” govern-
ment, (as the law provides). But later, a more dulcet ad-.
mission that there “might have been” such a report some-
where, but he, Mr. Pearson” didn’t see it.”

“Thus when organized “bankruptcy” becomes an
added established facet of business under our “‘free enter-
prise” system, someone pays the shot; invariably the
working plug on the low end of the social totem pole.

The dirt of Liberal flirtation with organized crime
keeps piling up, and the broom which Mr. Pearson obvi-
ously lacked the guts to use, is now in the hands of John
Q. Public. Come November 8, John Q. can do a real bang-
up “housecleaning” job on these old-line political “house-
keepers” —providing he doesn’t permit himself to be chlor-
formed by a new spate of “promises”, designed mainly to
cover up a growing accumulation of old-line political dirt.

THE AGGRESSORS' BANNER.

—New Age, India

Damp squib ‘failure’

H aving shouted themselves hoarse about the “failure” of
the Cuban revolution, U.S. coldwar and anti-Castro
propagandists received a nasty jolt recently.

On behalf of his government, Cuban President Fidel
Castro has “called their bluff” by decreeing that every dis-
gruntled and dissatisfied Cuban citizen, desiring to leave
their homeland, can do so freely and the sooner the better.

Such an announcement, indicative of the strength of
the Cuban revolution, rather than its U.S.-invented “fail-
ure”, has thrown the U.S. “home-of-the-free” coldwar
pundits into a tailspin. So much so that they now beg Dr.
Castro to “go easy” with his exodus of dissidents until
Uncle Sam can provide “orderly accommodation”.

With that obstruction out of the way, watch the Cub-
an revolution move—forward.

Good heavens, wail the “expert
explainers,” can that mean China

handful of “experts,” pseudo

“scientists” and sundry
other brainwashed (and brain-
washing) professionals are now
having a field day dissecting the
Pope’s address to the General’
Assembly of the UN,

Like a near-sighted jeweller
with his eyeglass askew, this
coldwar-adjusted fraternity are
busy peering into the Pope’s
history-making address, in order
to “explain” just what the Pope
“really meant,”

Doubtless there are many
frothy speeches made by high
state dignatories, old-line poli-
ticians and what not (especially
during election time) where such
a service might be beneficial
for the extraction of any kernel
of common sense, But this is
not one of those occasions,

Pope Paul’s address to the
UN General Assembly was
couched in words of simple beauty
and directness, There was no
“oratory,” no flourishes, no
doubletalk; just an appeal, ma-

jestic in its simplicity, to the
hearts and conscience of man-

kind-— for Peace, “No more
war, war never again,”

Such an address, seldom heard
in the corridors of history, elim-
inated all need of semantic ‘‘ex-
perts” to “explain” that which
requires no explaining, As the
titular head of World christian-
dom, Pope Paul spoke in simple
words for Peace, for an end to
war, for an end to hunger and
suffering, for the brotherhood of
Man — all Men, Anaddress which
cut across all man-made cold-
war barriers to reacha universal
goal — Peace,

- So we must look elsewhere for
the motives behind the “ex-
plainers,’’

“If you wish to be brothers,
let the arms fall from your
hands, One cannot love while
holding offensive weapons.” That
is a simple and profound axiom,
applicable in Vietnam, the Dom-
inican Republic, the Congo and
elsewhere, wherever a “christ-
ian” imperialism pursues its
murderous intent with gun and
bomb and poison gas — behind
the pretentious excuses of
“peace,” “freedom,” “saving the

fore seem to be to provide “ex-
ceptions” to Pope Paul’s basic
truth; to apply a coating of white-

‘wash to Pentagon deeds — which

seldom square with Pentagon
words, where aggression against
other peoples and states is un-
leashed,

“Not the ones against the
others, never again, never
again.”

The word-jugglers must seek
an alien meaning for these words
also, otherwise how can the pow-
erful monopoly merchants of
death keep adding toa vast stock-
pile of nuclear weapons and
bombs — and to their supper-
collosal profits? Not easy for
the professional “explainers” to
explain that universal idealaway,
“For,” as Pope Paul said, “you
deal here above all with human
life; and the life of man is
sacred; no one may dare offend
it.” Truly a language not fam-
iliar or to the liking of the
Pentagonese, To them only dom-
inant power and profits are sac-
red.

“You give sanction to the great
principle that the relations be-
tween peoples should be regulated

by negotiations; not by force, nor

“Western civilization,” “dem-

‘¢Communist oppressed” millions

The “population explosion”
section of the “explaining” crew
have also gone into a tailspin
at the Pope’s words on hunger:
“You must strive to multiply
bread so that it suffices for the
tables of mankind, and not rather
favor an artificial control of
birth, which would be irrational,
in order to diminish the number
of guests at the banquet of life,”
