Young Canada

Allen D. McDouglall, Vancouver,
Writes; I imagine that many of our
Teaders in British Columbia saw the
C.B.C. News some time ago, a
program entitled ‘‘The Peaceniks.”’ I
Wonder what their reaction was to
these interviews with the Canadian

_ Students who took part in the

demonstration in Washington to
Protest the American involvement in
Viet Nam?

I was so impressed with their
Presentation of their views; they are
amazingly articulate and those
Chosen for interview were rational
and well-informed. When people say
the hope of the future lies with our
children, they are supported in their
View by the calibre of these young
People:

However, the future they inherit
depends on the actions of the middle-
aged in our own times today, and

_these actions seem quaranteed to

lead to an extremely troubled future
at best, and at worst to the
destruction of civilization as it is
today, unless those who profess to
love these young people will stir
themselves to support them now.

This means developing an
informed opinion on events such as
the war in Viet Nam, and then
lending support to those thoughtful
and responsible Americans and
Canadians. But so many men such as
Dr. Spock and Senator Fulbright, to
Name some who deplore the hard line
that the American administration
Continues to pursue against the
better judgment of many of the
World’s statesmen, including the
Secretary-General of the United
Nations, who might have been
instrumental in bringing the
Opposing parties in the conference
table, if it had not been for the
unsquivocal refusal of the President
of the United States, who at the same

’ time was telling the world that he

_was willing to negotiate ssithodt

conditions.

How many parents will raise their
voices on behalf of their children
while there is still time? As America
becomes more and more committed
jit will no longer be possible to
protest — protest will be
treasonable.

Raising one’s voice means writing
letters to many newspapers, letters
to your M.P.’s and letters to those
Americans who are offering an
‘alternative to the official policy of
their country.

So much progress has been made
in the fields of combatting disease,
hunger and poverty, but so little in
that of human relations that many
people (I hate to say the majority)
still feel the only way to make an
impression in the world is by a show
of military might, with all the
inhumanity that goes with it.

Young Canadians deserve your
‘concern for their future.

On Friday, January 19 supporters
of the Committee Against Canadian .

‘Production for U.S. War introduced

a new phase in their campaign of
boycotting Dow Chemical Co.
products. This took the form of a
shop-in, conducted at the Hastings
and Gore branch of Safeway in which
seventeen people loaded their
shopping carts while supporters
conducted a picket line and
leafletting outside.

In an attempt to-stop the shop-in
the manager locked the entrance
door, but this time the
demonstrators had effectively
expressed their protest against
Safeway’s selling of Dow products.

The Committee Against Canadian
Production for U.S. War, said in a
statement signed by Committee
official Gary Mortenson that ‘‘the
campaign against Dow has taken the
form of an active boycott that is
aimed at restricting the distribution
of Dow products through the retail
outlets as well as asking the public to
boycott the products. Since Safeway
is one of the larger outlets, we have
concentrated our activity here.”’

Mortenson said Dow Co. of Canada
is a U.S. subsidiary, and as such,
functions as a component of a U.S.
parent company whicx produces all
the napalm used for the slaughter in
Vietnam. Since U.S. ownership
directly involves Canadian economic
resources in production in the war,
the Dow issue is one aspect of the
whole issue of Canadian complicity.

“It is in our interest that Canada
be dissociated from the U.S. war in
Vietnam and that this war of
aggression be ended,’’ said
Mortenson. In an appeal for support
of the work of the Committee,
he said:

“Our committee believes that we
must work to end Canadian
complicity; that the Canadian
government must repudiate the sale
of Canadian arms to the U:S.; that
Canada must work to revitalize the
role of the International Control
Commission; and that we must
publicly dissociate Canada from U.S.
policy in Vietnam.

“As part of this process, we urge
you to support our campaign
against Dow Co. Boycott Dow
products. Demand their removal
from your local stores. Join our
pickets, shop-ins or participate in
leafletting.”’ ;

For further information the public ~

are asked to phone Mr. G.
Mortenson, 731-2941.
