A NAUSEOUS REPORT

Peter S. Faminow and William N. Pa-
pove have at last released for public con-
sumption their study of the New Denver
school for Sons of Freedom children, Frankly,
it gives the public indigestion.

The two soft-spoken, psuedo-intellec-
tuals prepared the report for the Union of
Doukhobors of Camada, now the Doukhobor
Society of Canada. In the words of Mr. Fam-
inow at the July 8 meeting of the Kootenay-
Boundary Citizens’ Committee on Doukhobor-
Canadian Affairs, this report was supposed to
be “the first study of New Denver from the

inside out.”

It appears to be as accurate “from the
inside out” as was a Maclean’s Magazine
‘article published about a year ago on the
same subject. That article stirred up a lot of
sighteous people all over Canada, but here in
the Kootenays facts proved the story largely
untrue.

Why would Sons of Freedom children
“peacefully attend” schools in Saskatchewan
when they don’t here in B.C.? °

Why should “the conflicts arising from
diverse instructions received by the children
from their teachers and their parents appear
to lead to emotionial insecurity and disillus-
ionment which may develop in the children a
potential criminal-end product’ when they
come from families connected with criminal
activity?

The report is not a conscientious study
“from the inside out.” It is- a nauseating
piece of prose which should turn the stomach
‘of every orthodox Doukhobor successfully in-
tegrating into the Canadian way of life, and
the stomach of every other citizen of the
Kootenays.

ORTHODOX -WILL GO

The federal and provincial governments
estimate that'between 2,000 and 3,000 Sons
of Freedom will make application to go to
Russia. This number can possibly reach 4,000
or even more.

Cc as held by i of this
newspaper with orthodox Doukhobors since
Justice Minister Fulton and Attorney-General
Bonner made their announcements last week
lead this paper to believe that a great num-
ber of orthodox Doukhobors will make ap-
plication for the trek to Russia, 4

lf this favorable attitude towards the
move is wide-spread amongst the Doukhobor
population of the Kootenays as discussions
lead us to believe, then probably all but a
‘small majority of the Sons of Freedom and
perhaps 1,000 to 1,500 orthodox Doukhobors
will be boarding the boats for Siberia soon
after September 30.

A BOAT AND CASH

Three thousand Sons of Freedom, ac-
cording to their “interim declaration” printed
elsewhere in this paper, are ready to go to
Russia if the provincial and federal govern-
ments will release their children from New
Denver, pay their expenses to Russia, reim-
‘burse them for assets left in Canada and
contribute towards their establishment in the

R.

Their first point is well-founded, Sons
of Freedom chitden should be released from
New Denver so they can accompany -their
Parents to Siberia’s barren westes. With re-
gard to their second point, the government
shouldn't have to pay their expenses ‘to Rus-
sia, but it should do so to get rid of them.

Thirdly, the government should reim-
‘burse the Sons of Freedom for persona! as-
‘sets such as cars and furniture left in Can-
‘ada and should even pay them a current

Caravan through frozen sunlight

market price for the land they presently live
on.

Fourthly, the government should not
contribute towards their establishment in the
USSR. They should be told to accept “charity
from Russian neighbors right from the start.”

However, the provincial government has
offered fi ial help for blist *)
provided it does not exceed federal transport-
ation outlays. And perhaps this a good com-
promise. 5

The Sons undoubtedly wouldn't go if
some cash assistance wasn’t given them, and
a minimum of $1,000,000 is not a sum they
can very well turn down. They’Il go.

BE GOOD — OR GO

The joint statement issued Friday by the
federal and provincial governments offering
financial help to Sons of Freedom wishing to
go to Russia; ends by saying that any who. do
not accept the offer by September 30 “will
be understood to desire to remoin in Canada,

of the community there,

It is quite possible that
many individuals might wish to
turn all or a portion of their in-
dividual assets and finances to
relatives remaining in Canada.
7 We feel that they should
have the right to do so, Our
fraternal council would urge all
individuals to support the de-
sire for dignity, fair play and
business-like negotiations start-
ed by this declaration and con-
tinued by the governments of
Canada through acceptance of
points 1, 2,3 and 4 by honestly
and carefully carrying out its
pledges.

The Fraternal Council and
Memt.:ship would take the
stand that in the interests of
fair play on all sides, that the
only goal of our. group is the
establishment of a sound com-
munity in Siberia, and that as-
sets held individually in Can-
ada, should too, most properly
go towards the establishment of
this goal.

Our group would not at-
tempt to take farm equipment
to Russia. Rather we would de-
sire that all equipment for the
community effort there would
come from the payment-of the
government of Canada to the
government of the USSR.

We would desire then that
the government of the USSR
give our community credits to
that amount for the purclrase
of equipment and other items,

Dads know more than the good picnic spots

When itsa perfect day for a picnic, most Dads know where
the grass is cool and green... where the swimming’s safe ..,
where the family can have fun. Dads know a lot of
useful things like that.

And one of the things they also know

is that it pays to be

listic about life i

subject to all laws, i pl or
federal, governing Canadian citizens and
privileged as heretofore to. enjoy the rights
and liberties of such citizenship.”

. Mr. Fulton and Mr. Bonner did not
specifically mention the responsibilities of
citizenship, but one cannot enjoy the rights
and liberties of citizenship without also act-
ing in a responsible manner. And blowing
up power poles and public buildings is not
behaving responsibly. F

‘ Any Sons of Freedom who don’t sign up
for that boat trip to Siberia had better be
prepared to register their children in provin-
cial schools and to stop blowing up power
poles. If they don’t, they can expect to learn
why Canada has a criminal code which must
treat all alike.
