“The strongest memory is weaker than the weakest ink” PAGE 4 MONDAY. JUNE 1. less. A Pleasure And Privilege The opening today of the mu- seum and art gallery in the Fathers of Confederation Centre is another big event in our centennial cele- bration year, and it is a pleasure and privilege to welcome in this con- nection the Right Honorable Vin- cent Massey. former Governor Gen- eral of Canada. who has been asked to officially declare open the Na- tional Gallery collection which has been specially assembled as a high- light of the Confederation art gallery display during the ’64 centennial season.

As indicated in a press release from the Centennial Committee, the brief ceremony this afternoon will be attended by 200 delegates from the Canadian Clubs Association un- der the presidency of Dr. Wilder Penvfield, noted surgeon and author. The Association is opening its 26th biennial conference here today. and a feature of nationwide interest will be the address to be delivered by Mr. Massey at the conference dinner this evening.

Of Mr. Massey it can be said that few Canadians know their own country as well, and none is better known or held in higher esteem by his fellow citizens from coast to coast. His whole career has been one of dedicated service to our in- terests at home and abroad. It is singularly appropriate that he should be here to participate in our art gallery opening, for this is one of the many cultural activities in which he has been associated over a long period. and which owes a great deal to his fostering zeal and enthusiasm.

After 19 Years

Trials of Nazi crimes committed between 1939 and ]945 are crowd- ing the calendars of West German courts, 19 years after the downfall of the Hitler regime. As pointed out by a staff writer of the Christ- ian Science Monitor, these are not warucrimes in the strict sense of the word; they are, with few exceptions, trials for crimes committed in war- time. The victims were defenseless, unarmed people, of many national- ities. And their number is stagger- ing.

One German sociologist who himself spent seven years in Buch- enwald, estimates that between 1933 and 1945 some 7.5 million people were thrown into concentration and extermination camps and that of these only 500,000 survived. Some of those mainly responsible, plus a relatively small number of their underlings. were tried by Allied military tribunals after the Ger- man surrender. But many slipped away, undetected and unpunished.

Some escaped abroad—as Adolf Eichmann did—to Latin American countries where there was little danger of extradition; most of them stayed at home, went into hiding for a time, changed their names, confident that the storm would blow over and that they would be able to resume their careers.

Their speculations paid off—or so it seemed—at least temporarily. One after another, under aseumed or their own names, the incriminat- ed physicians, judges, police of- ficials. civil servants, state or mun- icipal officials, and businessmen re- Mind beam strain topnctice W the law. or do whatever their new W of. line.

new prevailed that

of silence, a determined effort to keep a tight lid over the more “un- pleasant” sepects of the Third Reich. This impression, as the present trials in nine West German centres show. was wrong. For these trials —and more to come—have been in preparation for six years. It. has taken that long to gather and sift the evidence, to locate the culprits and witnesses, and to establish solid legal bases for the trials.

The Auschwitz trial in Frankfort is now in its fourth month; the Lim- burg mercy-killing trial is in its third month: others were held or have begun within the last two months.

West German authorities claim to save started soon after 1945 to look into the Nazi crimes; they could not do it earlier because there was neither a sovereign German state nor an independent German judiciary. Even after 1955 the judiciary remained limited in its actions, bound by judgments pre- viously rendered by Allied courts. In addition, the majority of the known and untried offenders can- not be prosecuted because their crimes have fallen under the statute of limitation. The only crime that can be prosecuted today is murder. And it is under the indictment of murder that the current “war crime” trials are being held.

That New Flag

According to an Ottawa report in the Toronto Globe and Mail, Queen Elizabeth may be the first person to officially unfurl Canada‘s propos- ed new flag when she visits Char- lottetown in October. It is thought unlikely that parliamentary, royal and governmental action can be completed in time to fly the flag for the first time on Confederation Day, July 1. In that case. officials see it as a “probability” that Her Majesty will unfurl it on her visit here.

Meanwhile, Mr. Pearson's choice for a flag will soon be flapping wildly in gusts of Commons oratory. A great many members of Parlia- ment are determined to have their say on the issue. It is hoped that they will try to keep a sense of pro- portion and avoid blatant appeals to the emotions of the voters.

“It might help members in this endeavor,” says our Toronto con- temporary, “to keep in mind that the symbol they are discussing, im- portant as it is in some respects, will neither confer greatness upon Canada nor take it away. That is accomplished by legislation of a more practical kind, and a great deal of it awaits the MPs."

A great deal indeed. Earlier this month Mr. Pearson listed 28 pieces of government business to be com- pleted before the members could expect any summer recess. These included such items as the bill to carry out redistribution of Com- mons seats, completion of the amendments to the Income Tax and a motion asking the United Kingdom Parliament to amend the British North America Act to a110w survivor and disabled benefits in a national pension plan.

In the circumstances the Toronto paper suggests, sensibly. that mem- bers who are anxious to get home to put their fingers on the pulse of their constituencies would do well, in the next week or two, to keep their own pulse rates in check.

Costs Of Electioneering Still Soaring

The s eve n years' war be- tween Diet and Mike on our po- litical battlefield has been the most expensive era ever known for the Canadlau taxpayer. The high price of electioneering has not yet reached its peak. since taxpayers must look forwar with dread to the increased pay- ments which will be called for next year and in subsequent years to cover new government bribes

The contrast bctw'een 1956 —— the last year of electoral peace and fiscal sanity in Canada - and 1964 — which should be the year of the taxpayers' revolt - is so stunning that the Canadian voter has not yet been able to open his eyes to count the cost.

In that last year or normalcy. our federal government spent $4,798,000.000. This year our fe-

adian history. If the Pearson years should stretch to a simil- ar length. they will dwarf even the Dicfenbaker spending spree.

Then it. went soaring on when the promises and bribes were ballooned by Liberal elcctioneering.

This year. for instance. we are paying three times as much in taxes as we did in 1956 to co-

Britain is paying a rare tri- bute to the late President John F. Xe ncdy

The British Government plans to set aside an acre of the his- toric meadow at Runnymede. on the Themes. for a memorial to the martyred President. A simple block monument will stand on the green field where the Magns Carts was promul- flated in 1215.

In this pastoral setting, 25 miles southwest. of London. re- bellious barons forced King John to accede to the document which became a cornerstone of Western Freedom and govern- ment by law.

Though textbooks and histor- ical paintings depict a scowling English monarch at: n Magna Carts. 1 could never have happened quite that way.

King John probably did not know how to write. The 3,500 word document in Latin had to be translated into English and read to him by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Afterward. John signified royal assent at Runny- mede by attaching his Great Seal to the copy. Signatures were ordinarily not used to eu- tbenticate documents until the 15th century.
