Moulhlng Christian Words

‘ The leaders of the Russian Ortho- dox Church, headed by Alexius, Patri- arch of Moscow and all Russia, have addressed an “appeal to the heads of all v Christian Churches and to the Christians of the world”, deploring the “invasion” of American troops in

Lebanonand of British troops in Jor-

dan. They express the utmost horror at this “outburst of aggression” and at its possible consquIences, at a time “when the peoples of the world are yearning to end the arms race, when One country after another is proclaim- ing its loyalty to the principles of peace, freedom, and justice, when all men and women are becoming imbued

with the desire to live like one family, V'

helping each other in friendship and concord.”

These pious prelates urge upon all Christians, “while the governments of the United States and Britain openly attack Jordan and 'Lebanon,” to work together in “staying the hand of the aggressor by direct condemnation of his actions”'and in telling these gov- ernments “that-they, just as indivi- duals, should follow the ways of Christ, who. bequeathed peace and brotherly love to all of us, and shoiild not follow the ways of the fratricide Cain.” ‘ There is much more to the same effect. - ; ' . ' v, . p At the time of the Wholesale mass- of Hungarians by Soviet ag- greSSors two years ago, the world waited for some such rousing Words from the Russian Orthodox Church,—

from Alexius, Patriarch of Moscow 9

andall Russia, from Nikolai, Metro- pOIitan of Krutitsy and Kilomna, from Joann, Metropolitan of Kieve and Galacia, Exarch of all Ukraine, and from Elevferii, Metropolitan of Lenin- grad and Lugs—all permanent mem- bers of the Holy Synod whose names [appear under the present appeal to Christians everywhere. The United

Nations condemned this mass but-p

chery in the strongest terms—the whole 'peaceloving world condemned itT—but not Alexius, Patriarch of all Rhosia and his holy associates! What

afigchance they had then‘t'o' prove'their ‘ sincerity and their burning zealfor j

Christ’s teachings, by going to the

gallows, if necessary,- in condemnation _

otthe aethistic regime which“ per-V such deeds! Fawning syco- phants, they preferred to keep silent, thereby condoning the murders——

efij‘byilng their base emoluments and

prostituting their sacred offices with- out shame.

Now they speak, at the bidding of their Soviet overlor'ds, and blasphe- mously appeal to ,“the behests- 'of

Christ, our Saviour,” and to the duty ,

of all Christians “to care for peace ‘on earth tirelessly.” We have received a copy of their \petition, published ' in

the Soviet News Bulletin along with .

a bellicose speech of Premier Khrush-

chev (which indeed makes less revolt- ' ing reading)me the press of the '

USSRjEmbaSsy at Ottawa; and we have taken these excerpts from it be- fore consigning it to the wastebasket. As an example hf hyprocrisy in high places it leaves theoldtime Pharisees far, far behind. ‘

A Form Of Hearing

Justice Minister Fultonfihas told the Commons that “attempts are still being made to deVelop a system to give Government employees sus- pected on security grounds a ‘form of hearing’ so that they may know and have a chance to reply to allegations against them.

There should be no great dif- ficulty about developing such a sys- tem. Indeed, it comes as a surprise to learn that ‘, there is any hesitation about giving any citizen charged with being a security risk not merely a ‘form of hearing’ but due process of law which includes the opportunity

. to face his accusers in open court. In war time there may be some justifica- tion for dispensing with this due pro- cess or some phases or it in ‘certain circumstances; though, even then, it is a questionable procedure. In peace time there is no excuse for it all.

If a Government employee—nor any other citizen for that matter—is seriously suspected of being a se- curity risk, by all means let him be placed under surveillance, pending

.4

full inquiry. Let the matter be aired and aired thoroughly by a duly con- stituted tribunal. But Heaven forbid that Canada should ever throw a cloak of anonymity over informers who are not prepared to substantiate their

charges in the proper manner. This

is what made McCarthyism so repul- sive in the United States. Canadians, we feel sure, want no part of it.

Suntan Blues

Sunburn can be tricky. On the beach you may look as white as a lily all day long, and it won’t be until you have reached home again, that you will realize that you have achieved the Lobster Look in.one uneaSy les-. son, warns the Health League of Can- ada. It’s then you get the Suntan Blues. The League advises: '

Taken in proper doses, sunshine improves your health, but make your

' first sun-bath brief. Just 10 minutes

the first day, 15 the second and so on, remembering it takes 16 days to safe- ly suntan a child, Blondes and red headed people are especially suscep- tible to burns. If you do get a bad burn, treat it as a burn. When using a commercial sun-tan lotion, select a greaseless preparation. Baking soda and water or salt and vinegar lessen the discomfort. If sunburn is severe, see the doctor.

It is said that farming has more accidental deaths‘each year than any other industry. In Ontario, the De- partment of Agriculture reports that nearly one-half of the approximately 60 annual farm accident deaths are caused by careless handling of equip- ment, and that one member of every fourth farm family in the province will become an accident victim this year. In Saskatchewan, the Depart- ment, of Public Health reports that 80 people lost their lives and 2,724 people were hespitalized last year as the re- sult of farm accidents. Of this total, animals were involved in 640 ac- cidents ; falls in 557; farm machinery in 321: augers, gears and pulleys in

The Fumigator’s Case

x :3.

Judith Robinson in the Toronto Telegram

Ottawa: The Liberal Member for Montreal-Laurier had [promis- ed to pursue the matter. He pur- sued it all yesterday afternoon. The dismissal from government employ of one of his~constituemts had roused the blmdllound in Hon. Lionel Clhevrier.

The constituent, in question, Walter Mitchell, had been a fumi— gator in the inspection depart- ment of Agriculture for ‘16 naviga- tion seasons. His job was to ex-

, amine and if necessary fumigate

ships and cargoes of agricultural produce ari'iving in the Port of Montreal.

Chief reason for his dismissal, as the Minister of Agriculture ex-

" { plained it to "the House, was the

discovery last-November ‘ by of- ficials of the Revenue Department that Mr. Mitchell had in- bls pos- session six bottles of imported whisky and several cantons of imponted cigarettes. which had paid no revenue tax. - » OWN ADMISSION ~ . By his own admission to the revenue offitcens who discovered

the smuggled imports, Mr. Mit- chell had received them as gift

from officers of a ship or. ship-s

he was paid to inspect for tinni-

~ gatiOn. Add to Whisky and cig- r areth election activities.

Though the conditions of gov- ernment servlce required that he abstain firom overt political par- Mitcbell, before rthe elections of June, 1957 and March, 1958, [had been an active

, organizer in the political interest

of Hon. Lionel Ohevmer, Liberal candidate in Montreal-Lauder. Evidence of [this political indiscre— tion included affidavits and photo graphs. It did not include a let— ter of accusatlon from a sitting Member of Parliament. Thls~lack, the Member for Lap”-

‘rier declared, destroyed comple-

tely the Department of Agricul- ture's case against its employee. Without such a letter, the dis- missal of Mr. Mitchell for any cause was. injustice. The prac- tice and precedent of the House had been dismissed “ex parts and without being heard.”

The Minister attempted to ex- plain that Mr. Mitchell had been heard by the departmental of- ficials who. advised bis dismis- sal. He had been heard and bad

receiving from ships" officers the smuggled whisky and.

cigarettes.

CHARGES MINISTER

c Member for Laurier re- jected the explanation. This man had not been heard by the Minis- ter and nothing less constituted a hearing. The Minister had re- fused Ito produce in Parliament the. dogments on which his dc- c1s10n approve Mr. Mitchell" dismissal had been based: 3

“‘I demand that in the name of Justice an investigation be now held in this case before an im- partial tribunal.”

The investigation was required, the Member for Laurier explain- ed, to defend the nights of man and of parliament. The dismis- sal could not be justified. There was no letter from a sitting

Member of Parliament asking for it. '

Going back in Hansard half a century the Member for Laurier read extracts from Sir Robert Borden, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Right Hon. R.B. Bennett and oth- er authorities to prove such a lat- ter essential. - ‘ He failed to quote Hon. Lionel Ohcvrier, MP for Laurier who. only last November, declared that The dismissal of a Government employee on the written state- ment of a Member of Parliament hat he had been a party worker in an election was an infamous practi e which should. be ended.

NOTHING IN HANSARD

For a minister to approve a dis- missal on that basis was intol- erable. Mr. Chevrier bad search- ed Hansard and could not find nothing to permit such conduct. if it was policy time it was changed.

Thus Mr. Clhevnier last year. Yesterday Mr. Oheyni-er said-the Minister was only" one starre- moved from Russia. He had dis- missed a faithful employee with- out a hearing on secret accus- ations and without the essential letter from an MP.

'Ilhe Member for Bonavlsta -

Twillinga'te got into the ‘am. This he said, was the blacloest hour in Canadian parliamentary his- tory. A minister who had dis- missed a civil servant on evi- dence which he dare not produce was now cynically denying to the Pa-nliament the right to inquire into his unjustifiable auction. . The Minister tried again. Any departmental employee who took 'gifits loom the people he was sup- posed to be inspecting should be dismissed, he said, And he hoped that was accepted by all mem- bers of Parliament and all de- partments of Government. The employee in question had himself admitted that he took such gifts and he had been dismissed pri- marily for that reason.

SHOULD HAVE STOPPED

If the Mlimlster had stopped there his pursuers might have been baffled. But he went on. He went on to say that the whole thing was unlmpontant in his op« inion.

Was it unimportant, Mr. Pick- ersgill enquired, that a man had

accusations he was not permitted to answer and secret police re- ports?

Was it unimportant, Mr. Clhev- rier demanded, that 'a faithful servant of Government had been dismissed for partisan political activitlleas without the signed state- ment from .a Memberlwhilcll Par- liament required when such an accusation was made?

After a couple of hours of it the Member (Cons) for York-Scar- borough, Frank McGee, caught the Chairman’s eye and was per- mitted to ask a question. The question Was for Hon. Leioncl Chevnier. Had Walter Mitchell been one of “his political origami- zers [in Laumier in the last two elections? Mr. Chevnier refused

to answer.

It had to come, as predicted some years a g o by Aldous Hux- ley. Somebody in England has so fixed up a television set that it will emit odors appropriate to the program appearing on the screen —ya whiff of ozone for a sea- scene. the scent of flowers for a garden.

While this invention opens up a horrifying raft of possibilities, the difficulties that will have to be overcome before it is com- pletely practical are, fortunately, tremendous. What odor, for in- stance, should a political program havelAnd should a Liberal speak— er smell as sweet in a Conserva- .',ive living room as in a Liberal household?

It can also be expected that if the process is ever perfected its possibilities will not be overlook- ed by the firms that advertise on TV. When a picture and t h e ac-

How would this work with a smell —— except, of course, in a room with forced- draftpventilation? What would the house smell like llf there followed, in rapid succession, commercials for, say, peanut butter, a seduc- tive perfume and highoctane gas- oline?

The next logical step would, of course, be the marketing of a TV deodorant which, if fixed to the machine, would ensure that .; the household would not be half-
