by C. Irwin Mclntosh, President Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assnc. rI this age of human turmoil the brotherhood of mani is a very comfort- able concept. Almost everybady believes in it. But how many of us really practice It ? Christ preached brotherhood but many of his followers down the ages have failed ta understand it. The famous Declaration of Inde- pendence, which set the pattern for the Arnerican Constitution, said that al inen1 were created equal. but even in this great republic of the free, the brotherhoad of man has often been test- éd and found inadequate. And Canadians have littie ta feel smug about. We have aur ghettos where brotherhood has neyer found a path either in our cities or aur wilder- ness. H-ow much brotherhood has been axtended to our Indian citizens ? Not enough. And yet the very fact that goverfi- nment and industry is showing new con- Cônsidèr this paradox : *Today a larger percentage of the Amnerican population than perhaps ever before is aware af the need ta help one's neighbor secure a greater rneaiure of social justice, and economic well-being. * Yet seldom, if ever, have sa mnary Americans been ready ta engage in lawlessness, inflict pain and injury, and mock the rights of others in order ta "do good," and accomplish such change. Instead of greater order and tran- quillity havirg came with this grawth In social conscience, there has came a decline. In short, what we see is an in- creasing willingness ta da harmn and hurt in order ta achieve what many feel are worthwhile ends. Clearly, when such a situation arises, somethirg has gone badly awry, says The Christian Science Monito r. Indeed, society is even j ustif ied in ask- ing if the good being sought through taday's violence and agitation may flot be cancelled out b v the volume of in- Justice and injury being perpetrated. When, as an example, a whole unl- versity is upset, teaching suspended, Individuals assaulted, in order ta cor- rect some wrong or some negligence, cari we really say that the end-result will be a gain ? When student militants reassert the nid, discredited dlaim that the end justifies the means, who can truly state that flot mare harm than gond is being dore?1 There are few mare dangeraus dac- tri.ns thar that which says that, mere- TV coverage of this wéek's consti- tutional conférence brought it into thé living ooms of all Canadians.

Thé use nf télévision in thèse proceedings is a great step forward in participatary democ- racy. I think it is only a mattér of time urtil we have TV coveragé af proceed- irgs in thé Hause of Commons. Headway was made at thé Carier- encé toward a néw Constitution. This process may take mary years. Sigrnîfi- cant pogréss was made toward thé en- trenchment of fundamental and ]an- guagé rights in the Constitution. Thé distribution af législative powérs and taxirg authoritv will hé f inalized onlv' after prolongéd study and consultation. This mattér is béing given prinrity by the Constitutional Continuing Commit- tee ai officiais which is meeting con- tinually in thé périods bétweén thé Fédéral-Provincial Conférences. Thé Prime Ministér gave a ré-as- suring performance as Chairman oi thé -Conférence. Somé ni the Provincial -Premniers may have éxpcctéd an arro- gant, inflexible line. This was rot thé case. Hé handled thé Chairman's task sideration of these complex problems shows that we are basically a society that cares. The Canadian Council of Christians and Jews. who sponsor "Brotherhood Week" frorn February 16 to 23, show that they care. W,~e can show that we care too, bv recognizing that a man is mani regard- less of his color, race or creed. We must learn to admire' men for their real potential as human beings, and we must learn to be tolerant of each other's opinion. Responsible opinion is the real fuel of responsible governiment. Respansible government is the only hope for man- kind, and mankind's hope for a better world rests on the pillars of brother- bood that good men and women build each haur they live. The secret of true brotherhood, which the Jaycee creed suggests, "transcends the savereignty of nat- ions". is love. Such a concept is easier ta say than practice. But we must try. The future of aur world depends upon our ability to find the road to true brotherhood. ly because one believes ardently enough in a goal, one ha.s the right ta use al- most any means of winning it. This is thé argument of thé assassin, thé war- maker, thé mass-murderer. There are times, as during the pat- ent and immoral deniai af civil rights, when vi 'goraus action is called for, and when an improved situation can result. But such action seldam requires the activists or the militants ta stép an thé rights of athers ta rur the risk of killing or maiming eithér their op- panents or guiltless bystanders. Tt cannot hé said ton aften that in a democracy there are means of making aneseif and one's group heard without récourse ta undémaocratic action. Col- léges and universities, sas', can be made well aware of student démands without the seizure of buildings, the wrecking of prnperty, the déniaI ta others of thé right ta go ta classes. Indeed, when authorities acquiesce in such actions, they themselves are showing a Jack of regard for others' rights. No rîghts can be permanently or hororably won through infrirging thé other man 's liberties.

Yours sincerely, Evelyn Purdy (Mrs. Wayne Purdy) Sunderland, Ont., Feb. llth, 1969 Dear Sir:_ -' --- People who have livéd ln China, and knew Commun- ist rule and actions are not anxious that Peking be glv- en diplomatic recognition by Canada, until she factually surrenders her adhérence to thé ovér-eli Communist ob- jective, af a take-over of other states, through sup- port of violent revolution ln weaker statés. Canadian rec- ognition would nat affect the stabllity of the governménts in Peking or Tai-pel, It would give a boost to the Canadien Communists and their agitations. Our trade with Peking doec; not depend on recog- nition, end as England also knows. does not accord prestige or preferential ré- ception. Canada need not expect equal or favored treetment through "recog- nition", as this bas neyer been Chinese policy. We do ohject te any wibh- drawal of recognition, diplo- matically, from Formosa. There are no grounds in justice or reason for thi%. She bas been an ally, a use- fui member of thé U.N., and has no history of Incitement ta, violence abroad; but thé reverse. Neither, has a demo- cratic form of government, nar wiil recognition change that tradition. Lt could nat hé on grounds of internai In- justice or of violence te thé spirit of thé U.N. that For- masa be thus humiliated. Obviousiy, witb Canada, It Is only a natter of selfish, rnatry gain. and this has not béen a sure founidation of peece and goodwill. Net- ureliy a huge nation wiii buy mare from us, and he- s>des Formose exporta grain, tobacco. textiles, fertilizérs, etc., wbich also wé do. How- ever since Formosa G.N.P. Increases 10 per cent per yeer. and Is 90 per cent liter- ate, with 64,000 ln collèges, and has a successful land use and ownersblp scbeme In operation, shé is by no means less then the second place of thé Fer East na- tions. and witb aver 400 Christian churches, with scores of schools. haspitals and orphanagés she ranks as a Christian nation. Our recognition of Peklng. et the expensé at Formosa, would hé a blow ta thé senise of fellowship and mutuel con- cern. Oniy ane of thé Chinas is any menace ta peace abroad, hut rather Formosa is an essentiel part of the defence line that runs from Korea ta Australia. Perhaps we should help Peking to edge tram out their shéll? But why open talks with Peking oniy, and why in Sweden rather than in Britein? Why not let well enough elane? Why lav ourselvés open ta the In- dignity and humiliation thet other nan-cammunist diplo- mats have received. XVhy aiso add ta thé knowr dis- content and disillusionment of Canadiens hy extending this ta the Department of Extértial Affairs? Embassies are expensivé affairs, and while we may hé wéaltby enaugh to edd to such as we maintain - the caIl of Cen- adians is for frugality. Our recognition of two Indepen- dent Chinas might lead tnaa lessening of enmity beaween thé two, and the Chinese are not sa much pro-Mao or pro- Cbiang but they are pro- China. But ut, as seenis certain, thé drive ta switch "recag- notion" cames from an eco- namic and self-enrichmnent hope. then I shal hé asham- éd ot my country, for ne selt-respecting man or na- tion will accept an eggrand- Izement et thé éxpeée of anothers sacrifice.

Milk in batties From the dairy Freezes on the porch In February, And it's not A very merry Business Cleanîng up the ruddy mess when the bottie cracks and the milk leaks ahl over the Refrigidai ry. Sorry, chaps, but I've been con- ducting poetry-writing classes this week. And at the same time wading through drifts, trying to get my car started in the good nid sub-zero, batt- ling my way through 40-mile-per-hour blizzards, and helping bury an aid mate. Not conducive to a Iyric column about the longest-shortest month in the year ? Right. As you can see from the above, the poetry classes have been going very badly. Imagine having a teacher who writes such garbage trying ta breathe Life, Imagination, Experience into your creative poetic soul. It's enough to turn a kid off poetry for life. Normally, February is a month in which nobody in his right mind can be found north of the 49th parallel. Unless he hasn't the money ta escape. Tlhat's why there are so many of us lurching through snowbanks, nases dripping, eyes watering, coughs rack- ing. We're either out of aur minds, or poor. And in many cases, bath. And if we're nat out of aur skulls when the manth begins, we're ready for the straitjacket and total sedation by the 28th. Thank the gods it's flot Leap Year. Ahl I needed Ibis year, ta garnish my February complex, was ta help bury an aid mate. He wasn't old in years, and he wasn't a Iife-long friend, but l'Il miss him. Our paths crossed and re-crossed since we both made the ridiculous decîsion to become teachers, about niné years ago. During our teacher-training sum- mer courses, surrounded by hot-eyed, panting youth, just out of university and happy in the knowledge that the world was theirs for the asking, we sort of drifted together in a mutual- defence pact of gentie cynicism. I'd been through a war and a period of carving a living out of a pretty tough raast of a warld. He'd been through a terrible accident, broken neck and the works, years of pain-filled con- valescence. We'd both emerged, battie- scarred but banners stilli lving, frorn a decade or so of marriage and children. We weren't exactly student mili- tants, but we shared a hearty scorn for and a quiet amusement at the establish- ment, the keen types, the pushers, the scramblers, the sparrows trying to make like eagles. So we gravitated, and the friend- ship, sporadic and casual, lasted. After some years we wound Up in the same town, teaching in the same school. We golfed together quite a lo>t because we enjoyed the pace. It was leisurely, good-natured, and we hoth practised one-upnianship without scru- pie. You know: the loud scratch of a match at the top of the other's back- swing; the coughing fit when the other was making a delicate putt, the gazing into the sky when the other hit a grounder; the gently raised eyebrow when the other missed the bail com- pletely and almost broke his back in the process. And we kept a fairly good eye on the yardarm. If the sun was over it, we marked the occasion in the usual manner. And many a late summer afternoon, we sat under the oaks and discussed, without rancaur, the faibles and follies of the wvorld, while our wives and the squirrels chattered in the back- ground. l'Il miss the Old Boy.
