MURDERED WORD (By Joseph Lister Rutledge) Those persons and groiips who put such empbasis on peace that they are ready to join hands xith any agency, however dubious, which gives lip service to the word, mighit well be shaken b,% the recent -World Festival af Youtb and Students l'or Peace." If the real demand is peace. il any applicants do nat possess or cannat get the listed type of evid- ence, they sbould write ta the de- partment of health and welfare at Ottawa, and they wiil be ad- vised what ta do. The first cheques under the new law will be issued at the end of January, 1952. They will not be sent ta anyone wha bas not fiied an application. As bas been stated, ahl who are now 70 years of age or who will be 70 next January, wbo have lived in Canada for 20 years, have a rîgbt ta the pension. Indians and Eskimos are entitled ta the pen- sion on the same basis as -the white population. The new old age pension differs from the system that has been in operation since 1926 in two wavs: (a) it is payable without means test; that is, regardless of the person's economie status, w~ho qualifies for it by age and lengfh of residence; (b) it is financed entirely by the dominion govern- ment. The former pension scheme was payable on a mneans test basis and the cost shared by thle federal paying 75 per cent «aîîd province 25 per cent. The new pension seheme is authorîzed bv' a new act entitled "The Old Age Secusitx- Act." hiad a cuuious manifestation ni the frenzicd eîîthusiasm %vith wXhich the 100,0)00 Red vouth of aIl nations, gathet-et in Soviet Berlin, greeted any refex-ence to the defeat of the West. It is as- sumned that in the two weeks of the festival tw.,o nmillioni reproseti- tatives of vouth wilt pasticipale and give theis assent f0 the con- cept that peace and Russian miii- tary imight are retated ideas. When one sees this rnovemei.t ta distort the thinking of the youiîg, f0 defrandth lem xilh sug- gestions of peace that is not peace but onl.v an attenîpt ta cmn- dermnîe olti loyaltios; when otie scecsthe frenzy of lîalred aîîd caoi- tempt that is îîeing built cîp against the Western powers, and pasticulariy Brtain and the Un- ited States-ait in the name nf peace--one is appalled byv the imn- plications Also, with the most charitable intentions, if is stAl diffienît ta understand box'. people in ocir own landseceing tbis whirlwind brewing and realizing that their best efforts have been devoted foaraousing if. can be other flian dismayed at wbat they have attempted fa do. Tbey must know that peace bas neyer yet blossomed ont oI such an edifice of hate andti dstrusi. How is if possible that they should not sealize that in fal)ing sncb easy viclims ta the Moscow line they have helped <o make possible organizations whicb,in the name of peace, spread hate aîîd fcas and deceptioti about the' world. How long can they con- fuse themnselves with the mer- sound of a word whieb in theis mouths and those of their leaders lias lost ever 'y vestige of mieaning. "Peace" is no longer a word of world-wide hope, it is a symbol of deceitful manoeuvesing which bas robbed if of its import. Ont- %voncrs wbat is the spiritual pen. altv for murdcring a word?
