Death of two girls The Acton Froe Press Wednesday July 111973 Is Mitchell Sharp really satisfied with explanations By Lorraine Root reporters peat week if he were afraid of rocking the boat External Affair Minister Mitchell Sharp No he Just did not tee what could be done Me referring to the Incident which centred around the tragic death of our two girls MarJonDrlJber of Mary Street and Chrlitlne Sinclair of formerly of the village liven were so disastrously out when ahot down on May by soldiers of a country to which Canada within the few days has one million In military aid The makea take a look at our office of External Affairs to question lis function and what conatltutea Canadian diplomacy it would aeem that the position of the External Minister of any country be one of tint looking after the and concern of ltacltliena and Inthlicoae foreign what la the advantage to the average Canadian taxpayer if Ita external office doe not delve Into The fact that Mitchell Sharp may be satisfied with the reaulta If it were daughter would he so readily accept the wlahywaahy explanation of the government which according to the testimonies of Mr a were inaccurate ir the Canadian government ix making monetary grants to a country very leader are Incapable of telling the truth and accepting their responsibilities in a humanitarian twentiethcentury manner then we have to question from where we ait the value of throwing away money that may never reach the destination for which aendmg la designed There are many who although respecting and understanding the grief for the stricken girls question Mr Drljber a fervent quest for the Lorraine Root gives her views on episode answers to his daughter a death there are other who ask what he hopes accomplish suggesting he should accept her lose as a grievous accident but not as one to crucify whole multitudes of Innocent by cutting off support On he other hand had our External Affaire department immediately spearheaded an Investigation and delved Into the matter completely rather than being concerned about stopping on someones toes the episode might never have reached vast proportions Looking at It coldly there Is no doubt that the two girls were used a clay pigeons and murdered Had this happened In our own country Justice would have been done It seems to us that the External office should have Insisted on mora accurate answers If they were really concerned about their own Canadian cltliena rather than their socalled diplomatic relationships Again there are those people who measure the loss and whether It is any greater than any other dally tragedies constantly occurring on our provincial highways but any deliberate snuffing out of human creatures should never be accepted lightly and only through exposure can something worthwhile be salvaged Marjan a and Christine Sinclair s deaths will never be In vain If only because two valiant ptrenta took the time and the courage to stand and be counted They believe that their daughter and her friend were unwarrantedly murdered To them the tragedy must count for something else besides solemn grief They loved they lost they mourn and now they stand for what principles they believe la Oscar and Drljber In opposing man a injustices to man make their contribution to world peace because If ever such Is to be accomplished It will only be by every Individual daring to act on the premise that atrocities cannot allowed It s easy to say Terrible things are happening constantly all over the world and accept them unquestionlngly as part of life but we Bay that back and allow things to happen without staling our objections loud and clear Is morally wrong Persecute the multitudes and let them suffer for the Indiscretions of a fewT Never I But In living in what we term today as a Christian society we must stand for the rights of all God a children and for goodness sake let no one condone or accept any violation of the code of brotherly love without Identifying oneself opposed and In so doing be prepared to accept the responsibilities Incurred In hunting out the criminals who make which to live Ab It stands now Mr and Mrs will be seeing
