THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1962 Donation to Scouting “where should be no need to urge par- ents and residents of Prince Rupert to attend and support the Boy Scout movement in this city. The current iow Seout Week has been given ample publicity and the good works of scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides and Brown- ies are always with us. The faet that. children with un- channeled lives ean be taught basic discipline, respeet and citizenship is reason enough for supporting such a inovement, Seouting also provides val- uuble training along with fun and udventure in the outdoors, However, the 60 or more persons investment in Canada involved in Scouting need assistance. They need financial help so that they can provide the facilities to train the hoys. Apart from money to send Scouts to Victoria for investitures and to jamborees, the local group receives no money from headquarters. But they have to support headquarters and they must keep up to local eosts. This is something to remember between Mareh 5 and March 10, when the hard- working Prince Rupert District Boy Scouts Association stages its fund drive, Every dollar you donate to Seouting is an investment in good citi- zenship and in the future of Canada. Discrimination in unions can be disastrous There was quite a fuss in Washington a few weeks ago, when the members of the Cosmos Club blaekbalNed a negro applicant for acdinission. No one knows who the members were who cast the blackbals (two were suffic- ieit” to reject the applicant), or what their reusons were, but it.was immediately assumed’. WY most of the press and the public that the mdverse vote ‘had: been on racial grounds. Fur- ther information “seems to indicate that this may not have -been’so, but that the applicant was unpopular. personally and thus was treated us an unpopularwhite person would have been i d‘been: put up for membership. ‘he incident received wider publicity than it deserved because Robert Kennedy, the Presi- dent’s: brother and U.S. attorney-general, re- ‘signed from the Cosmos Club because of it. The President’s name was also up for membership, but his sponsor resigned from the elub and prestunably his endorsement of the President's upplcation is no longer in order. The Kennedy family thus receives vood marks as foes of Giserimination, when actually there may not have been any discrimination involved beyond the normal right of a club member to decide oh whom he wishes to aeecept as a fellow-mem- her, Discrimination against any person on racial or religious grounds is to be deplored, and pro- gress is being made in making and enforcing laws against such discrimination in both Can- ada and the U.S. Thus a person who is re- fused entrance to a public place, such as a restaurant or hotel, has a cause of legal action. One matter of discrimination that the Kennedys and other politicians seem unwilling to make any public protest about is when a union member is expeHed from a union be- cause he has done or said something that of- fends his union bosses. Economically, this is much more serious than discrimination on racial or religious grounds, because in many trades it prevents the expeNed member from earning his living in the trade he has ‘been trained for; but it is a point on which politi- cians are discreetly silent. The Cahadian Bill of - Rights forbids discrimination on racial or re- ligious grounds, but says nothing about the right of a man to join or refuse to join a labor union. -— Fort Erie Letter Review Secret Army only ‘enemy’ to peace in Algeria .

Salan has willing allics among the civil population. The French administration is riddl- ed with spies—one reason why the authorities have never been able to catch up with the ex- veneral, though television and radio comment- ators seem to have no difficulty locating him for interviews. Thus the peace accord in Algeria is still precarions.

Under this act it is possible for a person who exports goods to other countries to take oul insurance with the corporation in order to protect himself against bad debts. If, because of political upheavals or the like in other countries the ex- porting company in Canada cannot collect its money, the Export Credits Insurance Cor- poration will pay him the amount of his losses, if he takes ont insurance. This act was amended ‘in 1959 to remove, as one of the members of the corporation, the Governor of the Bank of Canada. The governor, at that time, was Mr. James Coyne, about whom we heard so much last year. During debate on the amendment in 1959 we tried to find out why the gov- . ernor was to be removed agidi . member of the corporation. We got no answer then, but we did — get a possible answer last ses- sion when Mr. Coyne was so ruthlessly fired. Now we have ] amendment before us to in- erease the membership of the board of directors of the cor- poration by one so that there will be six directors instead of five. I suggested that this per- son should be someone from the Bank of Canada, prefer- ably the governor, for the cor- poration is engaging in inter- national and high finance. Mr. Hees, the present Minis- ter of Trade and Commerce, told me that that was pre- cisely what the government had in mind, namely to appoint someone from the Bank of Canada to the corporation. This makes one wonder whit “was going on three years ago when Mr, Coyne was removed fron the corporation, Was it another -—OTTAWA | REPORT. eae eee because he was in disagree- ment with the prineiples of the: corporation? If so, this was kept secret. Was it because he didn't have time to act on the corporation? If so, this also was kept secret. Or, and this is more likely, was it because his removal was a prelude lo his removal from the position of Governor of the Bank of Canada itself. Again, if this is so, it was kept as a secret. It also makes one wonder if this is the proper way to deal with an organization which is handling a half a billion dol- lars of the taxpayer’s moncy. I think that it is not. I think that politics can ruin an other- wise effective organization. x... View in the valley You who stand upon a pinnacle and see the grace of skies— far-reaching—Stoop! Bend!
