6 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, ‘Dec. 10, 1964 ‘THIS WEEK AND NEXT ARGYLE Another Setback For The PM The “big hribe bombshell" which touched ‘off Ottawa's worst political scandal! in years has raised the dreaded possi- bility that international crime lords have been able to pene trate high levels of Canadian government. In the wake of charges by Conservative Erik Nieloen 5 ot the Yukon, the TNIK YULE, This young Indy, with Teotards hung by BEA’ the heater with care... and ce”? propped up on afl or- ange crate fair... looks ike ee ready for a Beatnik appointed ‘Quebec Chief anive Frederic Dorion to conduct a special inquiry. With the matter now in the cbands of Mr. Justice Dorion, ft is not proper to discuss the charges. The facts can be reviewed, however. These are that, according to Mr. Nielsen, a Montreal lawyer named Pierre Lamontagne was offered a $20,000 bribe by Ray- mond Denis, another Montreal lawyer. Mr, Denis, a former execu- tive ‘assistant to Immigration Minister Rene Tremblay, was alleged to have made the offer to secure Mr. Lamontagne's a- greement not to oppose bail for an accused narcotics smuggler. The alleged smuggler, Lucien Rivard, was awaiting an extra- dition hearing under which :U.S. authorities sought to return him to the U.S. to face charges of smuggling narcotics across the Mexico-U.S. border. _ tho RCMP investigated a Mr, Lamontagne minister him was insuffictent to warrant * prosecution, Other names have been rals- ed, but this is the core of the charges. Coming ‘on the heels of other political “embarrassments, ;the big bribe scandal has damaged Prime Minister Pearson's poll- tical reputation, although it can- not yet be judged how badly. Canadians tend to take an at- titude of “it can’t happen here” when confronted with allega- tions of international crime car- tels operating in Canada. It should be ‘remembered, however, that the Mafla or Cosa Nostra has never-bees ‘a res- of borders, The criminal syndicate is overative in ‘many large U.S. cen! th wouldn't it ane: ittempt reach into big Canadian ‘cities such as Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal? There ‘is a strange irony in the fact that a Liberal govern- ment in’ Ottawa: now finds it- arrassed by such char- ges. Just a little over-a year ago, the Liberal party of Ontario made international crime its main. issue. in an | Ontario. elec tion. The result: an overwhelm. ing victory for Ontario Conser- vatives, A further consequence of the current scandal is that most.of the names mentioned so far are of French Canadians. This can- not but have'a damaging elect on English Canada’s feeling to- ward Quebec. Ihave known ‘Erik “Nielsen for many years. He is one of the most competent, hardest working members of parlia- ment. Of late, he bas ‘been charting a repitation as one of John Dief- enbaker's chief [eatenants, and a tough, incessant critic of Ltb- eral front benchers in the House. Certainly the scandal enhances Mr. Diefenbaker’s ‘argument that Mr. Pearson has failed to effectively govern the country. - The country still shows,.10 signs of being: ready to return to the kind of helter-skelter Oe eraent which marked Mr. Diefenbaker's years in power.

The other is that my kid brother arrived home the other day. after four years in Europe. He's 's a good kid, but his miscon- ceptions’ about this country are deplorable. ‘Hutchison, in bis essay, sug- gests some of the characte: ics common to Canadians. They are poetic, hut pure poppycock. He speaks first of the “‘most obvious”, our “national humill- ty.” ‘This is most obviously a figment of the author's imagina- -tion, While most Canadians will grudgingly admit that there's an occasional ‘Limey or Yank who is not devold of common sense, you'd have a formidable job on your hands to find half a dozen Canadians who felt humble in the presence of either. Next, he says we are, "A con- servative and steady Peonle. Oh, yes. Yes, indeedy. We are the conservative and steady peo- ple who have an election every couple of years, who swing wild. ly from one political party to an- other, who riot over a hockey game, who have families com- ing to blows over a flag design, who blow up mailboxes, And, he says, our politicians reflect us in..." their boaliive terror of ‘color and flair." guess he's right. John ister: baker, a politician to whom we gave the greatest majority in our history, whom we ele: twice as Prime Minister, has no more color than a purple dragon breathing crimson flames. “And we,are a lonely. people’’. says Hutchirou, Well, speak for . yourself, old boy.

The fact that Euro- peans, who don’t have any snow, to speak of, have no cuffs on their trousers, while Canadians, who wade through the stuff for five months, have cuffs. He doesn't realize that we like it that way, that we like to walk into somebody's house, stamp our boots off in their hallway. and turn about four pounds of snow out of our cuffs onto their fresh-waxed hardwood floors.

He spoke with rapture about his meals in Paris, with scorn about Canadian cooking. And left never a morse! of the latter, even though there wasn’t a sin- gle ‘snail or a single songbird among it, on his plate. He scoffed ‘at Canadians’ ‘en- grossment with money and stat- us symbols, And raved inter- ‘minably about his new Rover. his new hi-fi, his camera, his tape recorder, and how much he saved on them.
