Our Opinion

A two way street

Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is
wise to try to cool out the hot-heads
demanding retaliation by Canada
against its inclusion in President
Richard Nixon’s new 10 percent import
surcharge applicable against the whole
world,

it is hard to imagine anything that
Canada could to that wouldn’t worsen
an already grave situation.- The notion
that this country might withold the
export of vital raw materials to the
United States would be self-defeating.
It would be certain. to stiffen
Washington’s attitude, which so far
falls short of an outright rejection of
Canada’s plea for _ special
consideration. Canada would merely
deprive’itself of resource revenues in
addition to those that may be lost by
shrinking sales of manufactured
goods,

Mr. Trudeau seems to have some
hope that the U.S. may yet relent in
Canada’s case because Canada is not
discriminating against American
goods and is not putting unfair
exchange pressure on the American
dollar, It is a sound case and one that
Washington should respect.

“But if they say no,” Mr. Trudeau
observed on his forced return from a
European holiday, ‘we won’t have any
choice but toaccept it. We're not going
to declare war on them,’’ By that, he
meant a trade war in which Canada
would multiply its suffering for no -
gain.

The prime minister notes soberly
that the surcharge could: cost
Canadians thousands of jobs - but could
also damage the U.S.recovery efforts
in ways Washington may not
anticipate. When he says Canada
“cannot sit mutely by and absorb the
impact,”’ he fore-shadows further
vigorous protests. “Everything is
possible,’ he says, “but we’re not
going to get on a retaliatory kick. I-
think (the answer) is one of the
explanation, understanding and co-
operation.”

In the same vein Mr. Trudeau
offered to “take all steps to damp
elsewhere in the world talk of’
retaliation.

If the United States decides for
strategic reasons that it cannot exempt
Canada from the surcharge decree,
and if Canada is obliged to accept the
rejection with reluctant
“understanding,” the treatment will
certainly weigh on Washington's
conscience. The two countries so
closely related by geography and
common interest, will have other
mutual problems to solve in future.
Canada wiil have other opportunities to
write a cheque against past favors and
will not find its account overdrawn.
This is much more than a negative
consideration although it may have a
Pollyanna-ish sound today.

Canadians who delight in plucking
the eagle’s feather: might learn
something from this painful affair. If
Canada insists on acting always a
according to what it conceives to be its
own best interests, it cannot logically
object when other countries feel
themselves forced to do the same, As
Mr. Trudeau commented, the U.S. in
this case has acted “in a way which
seemed best for themselves.”’

Canada has not always been so
tolerant. It was only last autumn that
Canada stonewalled the urgent request
of the United States for revision of their
mutual automobile manufacturing
pact which has proved to be an
unforeseen and unintentional drag on
the U.S, balance of payments. This
despite the fact that the world financial
community was even then discussing
the possibility that the U.S. would be
‘ compelled to devalue its dollar because

it could no longer met its current

obligations. Canada was totally

unsympathetic then. Indeed, U.S.

Treasury Secretary John B. Connally
frankly told Canadian negotiators in

Washington this week that other
instances of Canadian one-sidedness,
to put it mildly, are on the record.

OF anole

Pastor B. Ruggles
Matt; 15:1-20

The people marvelled at the
words of Jesus and recognized
that hespoke with authority and
not as the scribes, Today, to
speak with certainty and
conviction on religious matters
is thought to be narrow minded,
inconsiderate and dogmatic,
The teaching of our Lord had a
power and certinty that others
did not possess What gave him
this autnority? Is this power not
only desirable but absolutely
essential for His
representatives?

I believe we will find that His
authority not only came as a
result of His person i.e. who He
was but because He knew who
He was. The religious leaders
failed to recognize Him, refused
to believe an Him and rejected
His message. Convicted by their
own conscience, predjudiced by
their traditions and confused by
their ignorance of the scriptures
they had little to offer the
people. Jesus knew and
unequivocally declared that He
was the Son of God, sent by the
Father to redeem mankind.

Time and again He made-such -
statements as; ‘I know Him, for -

Iam from Him and He hath sent
me,” He was either all He

‘claimed to be or the greatest

deceiver the world has ever
seen. .

Secondly, He had this
authority because He knew the
Scriptures and used them to
prove the truth of His words. He
quoted them as being true and
authoritative in John 5 He
commanded His apponents to
“search the scriplures for in
them ye think ye have eternal
life and they are they testify of
me.” When men reject the
authority of the scriptures they
soon begin to question the

Pastors Pen

reality of the Christian life and
teaching. ©

Thirdly He knew His mission.
He emphatically declared, ‘I
am come that they might have
life and that they might have it
more abundantly. After telling
His disciples of His mission He
set his face to go up to
Jerusalem, In telling Peler to
put up the sword He declared,
‘*the cup which my Father hath
given me, shall I not drink it?”
All else was subserient to that
mission.

The Apostles manifest this
same boldness and authority.
When the rulers of the temple
saw the boldness of Peter and
John they underetood that they
had been with Jesus. Filled with
the Holy Spirit they spoke of the
Word of God with boldness.

They were certain of their

relationship with God, quoted
the secriputes as authoriative
and knew their mission.

_ We too need this authority.

Only as we are certain about
our own salvation can we lead
others to that knowledge and
certainty. Paul had no question
about his salvation. He decl-
ared, “E know whom I have

. believed and am persuaded that
“he is able to keep that which I

have committed unto him
against that day.” John 5:13
states, “These things have I
written unto you that believe on

the name of the Son of God; that:

ye may know that ye have
eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the Son
of God.”

We too need to know and
accept the seriptures as
authoritative. Too much of our
teaching comes eff the top of ou
heads, A mind unenlightened by
the scriptures is a natural mind
that cannot understand or
receive God's truth let alone
declare it. In 1 Cor, 2:14 we

- Aboriginal rights ?.

BY RENA POINT

The aboriginal rights of the Native Indian are slowly being
depleted. Oddly enough by the Provincial government, while
the Federal government stands by passing the buck. This I find
rather strange because the Indians being wards of the Federal -

government comes directly under their jurisdiction,

For’

instance, new rules and regulations arebeing imposed on Indian
people annually by the B.C. Fisheries, Game Dept. and others

by the Provincial government.

This year during the month of August, fishing was limited to
one day a week. Last year a meeting was held at Moricetown
with officials from_the Fisheries, representatives from the -
Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and local Indians present. Promises
were made to the Indians that no further restrictions would be
made on food fishing without first consulting with the ‘Indian
people and some agreement made, This was not done.

What about conservation.” -This is their excuse to let the fish
go through. And should none go through of course the Indian is
to blame, This is not true, for the Indian was and still is the
greatest conservationalist in the world. For did they not live
here for thousands of years in plenty? My grandfather told me

asa boy he remembers when the salmon cameup the rivers, you

. could cast a stone in the water and it would roll a long distance

before sinking. The salmon were so
No, the lack of fish coming up the rivers in B.C, is not the fault
The greatest fault lies in the hands of the
