Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY %, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Bomb Explosion Serious But So Are Restrictions The explosion of a bomb in the Parliament Building represents a terrifying episode in the history of the building. However it should not be swelled to a significance which would give rise to further restrie- tions on the people whose represen- tatives meet there. A serious tragedy in the Com- mons chamber was narrowly avert- ed by the mischance detonating of the homemade bomb in a wash- room. The degree of damage leaves little doubt that had the bomb been exploded in the House of Commons many would have suffered grave in- jury and there well could have been fatalities. The fact that a large number of school children were at- tending adds to the concern, Leading questions were asked by television reporters on the night of the blast as to whether security on the hill was sufficient, whether fur- ther precautions should be taken as a result of the mishap. For the most part of the replies they received from government members and of- ficials were that changes at the mo- ment were unnecessary, Commons Speaker Lucien Lam- oureux has been quoted as saying security measures now in force are adequate, He expressed doubts that any significant stiffening would bea acceptable to the Canadian people, "Il do not believe the people of Canada would want to go to the ex- tent that every person coming to see his member of Parliament or into the public gallery should have to be searched, Mr. Speaker said, Simply stated this is the heart of the situation, Canada has probably the most open Parliament building in the world, Afid' while we haven't bothered to say in many words, Canadians like it this way. It's basic to our makeup to brook at an overload of restrictions, Our parliament has been meeting for 99 years and this is the first bomb scare, Serious as it is, it's not ade- quate reason to run to bind ours further in bureaucratic re- strictions, A The incident will undoubtedly serve to smarten the security meas- Regulations say ex- posives are not permitted, yet they KO gO selves ures we have were carried: into the House, Those will without doubt employing the responsibility they now have to investigate this aspect.

He's always the other fellow, the chap who races through stop lights, takes chances on crowded highways, changes dir- ection without signalling, slows up fast-moving traffic, Let the others look out for themselves is his motto. Attention is drawn particularly to this donkey behind the wheel type as we prepare for the first long weekend holiday of the summer. The Ontario Department of Landa and Forests has taken special note of his antics in the current safety release, A busy highway Is no place for morbid but that make any difference to the "don- curiosity, does T, L, WILSON, Publisher @.

OTTAWA REPORT © Gloomy Forecast Sas TON Understatement By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "Our democratic government and our impartial justice will never fully recover 'from the wounds inflicted by this grudge case." That gloomy prediction relat. ing to the fall-our from the Munsinger inquiry appeared in this column four weeks ago, It already looks like a timid un- derstatement, Disturbing comments and re- ports are circulating in the usually well-informed quarters in this capital, Their frequent occurrence in similar form but from various sources makes them deserving of consideration and seemingly credible First, lawyers are unhappy about the nature of the inquiry, and express their anxiety at the turn which questioning of wit- nesses is taking. A royal com- mission, such as this, 'is. in- tended to be an impartial but comprehensive fact finding stidy, It is not @ prosecution with judge and jury; it has no accused and no rules of evi dence RCMP EXHIBIT Second, there is the notorious Exhibit 20, This is a synopsis, prepared by RCMP and counsel of the first RCMP report on Mrs, Munsinger submitted to then justice minister Davie Ful ton in Degember 1960, five years after she was admitted to Canada, But it is a selective synopsis, omitting certain points and adding others which color her actions; it is a farrago of statements by prostitutes, unnamed informants and "sources of unknown reliabil ity,' Judge the one-man royal commission, said it is inadmissible as evidence yet is a "handy document"; lawyers "have advised some newspapers not to publish it on grounds of libel, Why then was it distributed to the press with the imprimature of the com Mission? If newspapers might be guilty of libel were they to publish it to readers, could it be that this royal commission Wishart Spence is equally guilty of libel publishing it to newspapers? Exhibit 20 describes the ear- lier ite of immigrant Mun- stager--s - ert ceegmtinn hm why, after refusing her admis- sion to Canada in 1952, the same tideral government wel- comed her in 19557 And, if she was a security risk as now claimed, why did the RCMP not check on her sooner than five years and four months after she was admitted to Canada as a landed immigrant -- and then only. incidentally because she had applied for Canadian citi- zenship, not because she had applied for Canadian citizen- ship, not because she had heen detected as a suspected security risk? CARTWRIGHT REFU y? Is it correct, as is heing said here, that the commission was first offered to---and refused hy the distinguished Mr, Justice Cartwright, the judge of the Supreme Court of Canada rank- ing next after the chief justice? Did he refuse the commission, in line with the practice previ- ously formulated by Supreme Court judges that none of them would accept any assignment pertaining to .politics which might jeopardize the court's re pute for impartiality? Basically this inquiry is inquest upon the judgment ex- ercised by a prime minister of Canada, Ottawa opinion Lib- eral, Conservative and neutral substantially considers it to be an unhappy precedent that the judgment of the head of our government should be pro nounced upon by any appointed official of lower status, It is the electorate which has the duty and the privilege of rendering a verdict upon the performance of any government and its leader This inquiry has been de- scribed as an 'inquisition' and a "Star Chamber'--names with a popular connotation of partial- ity and persecution. It is unlike any previous royal commission of inquiry In My experience I am writing this during a week- long adjournment of the in- quiry; there could well be fire- works when it resumes for an Many Viet Nam Desertions By Soldiers On Both Sides By ROBERT TUCKMAN SAIGON (AP)---A lot of sol diers on both sides are desert Ing in Viet Nam Defections from the Viet Cong guerrillas are more than 2,300 a offi ciais report Against this, the officials say desertions from the South Viet+ namese regular army run cur+ rently at 6,600 a month, with additional desertions from the regional and the popular forces These figures must be consid- ered in proportion, The govern- ment military strength is esti mated at 600,000, ineluding aux. iliary units, The Viet Cong guer rillas, plus North Vietnamese regulars and village auxiliaries, are estimated to total 200,000 to 256 090 Most deserters from the South Vietnamese army return to their homes, go Into hiding or filter into the cities looking for work, Some re-enlist later The rate of desertion--nothing new In this land--continues to cause deep concern for both the South Vietnamese government and the American military They draw some encourage: ment from the rising number of Viet Cong defections, which to» tailed 2,336 in March, the high- est so far, PROGRAM HELPS A major factor in the Cong defections also is the Chieu Hoi (open arms) pro gram undertaken two years ago by the Saigon government un der American sponsorship Using psychological warfare largely leaflets and. front-line loudspeakers the government promises Viet Cong defectors good treatment, It also encour: ages them to bring over weap running month, U.S Viet (1.1 NA AE GNI RL I AIIM inane ons, offering rewards up to 20,+ 000 piastres ($274) for a 57 mm, recoilless rifle The defentor is sent back ta his native locality if it is in gov ernment hands, If not, he is re seitied elsewhere, He is given a smal! sum of money and rice for six months and is exempt from the army draft for a year Since the open arms program was started in February, 1963, nearly 35,000 Viet Cong have defected to the South Viet- namese side, officials say Despite the Viet Cong defec- tions, they scarcely approach the desertions from the South Vietnamese forces Altogether 180,000 men serted in 1965 from South Viet Nam's regular army and para- military forces such as the re- gional and popular forces, -A majority are recruits who leave because of homesickness or maladjustment after six or eight weeks' training.

When he ar- rived at Hudson's Bay the map of Canada was blank from Lake Winnipeg to fhe west coast of Vancouver Island, Thompson mapped the main routes through 1,700,000 miles of Canadian and U.S territory! He thought little of undertaking journeys that many people would not attempt today in high - powered auto- mobiles on modei'n highways. Thompson left the Hudson's Bay Company in 1791 and join- ed the rival North West Com- pany, in which he became a shareholder, One of his most important jobs was to try to find a route to the Pacific that could be used by fur traders, He spent years tracing the crazy course of the Columbia River, and arrived at its mouth only a few weeks after a post had been established there by John Jacob Astor's men from New York, They had sailed around Cape Horn travel Li If Thompson. had been able to claim the land before Astor's men got there, the Columbia River. might. now. be 'The St, Lawrence of the Pacific', dividing Canada and the U.S.A.

After descending part of the Mississippi to Sand Lake River he portaged to the St, Louis River, then paddled to Lake Superior and reached Sault Ste, Marie on May 20! After he retired from the North West Company, he was hired by the Internationa! Boun- dary Commission to survey the boundary from St, Regis, Que- bec, to the northwest angle of Lake of. the Woods, This work took him 10 years It is tragic that David Thompson died in 1857, In pov- erty, and nearly blind, OTHER EVENTS ON MAY 20 1616--Champlain eft Huron country and arrived at Quebec July 11 1656----lroquois attacked Orleans Island below Quebec and took 80 Hurons as prison- ers, Quebec did not dare try to rescue them, and the Iroquois waved their paddies in derision as they passed, LL One Of Youngest Leaders Ever Heads P.E.I.
