Dorothy Robffison Russell C. Heney, Esq., M.P. Northumberlanid-Durhanl There has been a great deal of apprehehsion in Canada about the position taken by the goveru- ment with respect to aid to Bia- fra. Much of the criticismn has been based on emotion, rather than on a rational appraoach. Biafra is a state or province forming a' constieiert part of the sovereign country of Nigeria. Nigeria, like Canada, is a con- federation of states or provinces. Biafra, of its own volition, de- cided to break away from the Ni- gerian confederation. A parallel situatioi would occur if ýone of Canada's provinces decided to secede from the Canadian confed- eration. We would, I am sure, deal with such a situation by ne- gotiation rather than armed con- flict. Nevertheless, wlile the re- sults would be different, the legal and cohstitutional situation would be the sainie. Opposition spokesmen have, ur- ged the govrnuient to force its way into Nigeria to suppely food, drugs and medidal supplies to the Biafrans. Prime Minister Tru- deau pointed ot that this would be an act of war against the friendly couttry of Nigeria... the consequences of which could be very serions to Canada. The Organization 'of African States voted 29 to 4 agaihst intervention When the neighbours of Nigeria,, who are the most direetly con- eerned, refuse to interfere how can Canada, as a sovereign coun, try, rationally bc asked to pro- ject itself into the civil Àrar be- tween Nigeria and Biafra. We can draw a close parallel in the Irelationslip of Cahiada and France, and the verbal interven- tion of General De Gaulle and the French government. Mr. Trudeau has been very adamant that Can- adians will work ot their awn problems, and lie pointqdly tol d France to -stay ont of Canadian affairs. If we were to intervene in Nigeria's conflict with Biafra the Canadian government would indirectly acknowledge the riglit of France to interfere in Cana- da's affaîrs on behaîf of Quebee. Mr* Trudeau did emphasize that Canadians as individuals can con- tribute to the aid of Bliafrans. Through the Red Cross, church groups and other organizations &anadians can assist in talus hum- anitarian cause. Indeed, we hive been more generous, on a per capita basis, than any other country in the world. This is how Canadians can help . . not by intervening in the affairs of a friendly country. We should keep our perspective. Kendal News Wild, birds are flying south." Last Friday, October 4th many large flocks of wild geese flew over the Kendal area on their way so uth.
