“Here Let the People’s Rights Maintali

or Gain

imptse Death Penalty on Policemen Murderers

Members of Parliament in our federal

House of Commons are wrestling with their

on a touchy q whether

or not to reinstitute the death penalty now

that the five-year “experiment” in abolish-
ing it Is over,

Prime Minister Trudeau has said there
will be 8 “free” vote on the Issue, That
is, our MP’s won't vote on party lines, but.
instead on how they feel themselves on
the subject. Some MP's, apparently afraid
to make up their own minds and vote their
consclences, are Instead sending ovt ques-
tionaires to their constituen's, They intend
to vote by the welght of their mail, instead
of on merits of the issue as they personally
see them,

The government itself has even “chi-
kened out” to some degree. The vote
won't really be on whether or not the
death penalty should be retained or abo-
lished; instead it will be on whether the
death penalty suspension should be ex-
tended another five years! Presumably MP's
at that time will be more courageous than
their present-day counterparts and will be
prepared to face the issue directly.

What is particularly disturbing about
the present situation is the Government's
flouting of its own laws. Officially the
death penalty remains for ihe murderers
of prison guards and policemen, yet in the
past 10 years the federal cabinet has com-
muted every death posed for

jurisdiction, and for treason and other war-
related crimes.”

Added Mr. Nixon: “When we fail to
make the criminal pay for his crime, we’
encourage him to think that crime will pay

. Contrary to the view of some social
theorists, 1 am convinced that the death
penalty can be an effective deterrent
against specific crimes.”

We agree with President Nixon. A
woman who stabs her husband to death
in a drunken argument lacks, in our view,
the same complete disregard for life as
that possessed by the prisoner serving a
life sentence who plans an escape knowing
he may have to kill a prison guard and

then slits a guard’s throat in cold blood. |

on his way to “freedom.”

We also agree with the views of the
recently retired judge of the B.C. Court of
Appeal, Mr. Justice C, W. Tysoe, who said
in an interview only last month that he is
not impressed with ihe argument that it
is a sin for society to put an end to the life
of one of ifs members who has wilfully
murdered another.

Those who favor capital punishment

for murder generally do so on the grounds
hat it will deter others from committing
murder, he said, adding “I have not been
able to find any reliable evidence that it
is such a deterrent.”

However, he said he believes there
are people who are so bad that they are

this type of offence.

In light of the Canadian dilemna on
this issue, President Nixon’s remarks of last
Saturday are particularly interesting. Speak-
ing to a nation-wide radio audience, the
U.S. president said he will ask Congress to
overcome a Supreme Court decision and
restore the death penalty promptly for
.certain federal crimes, while toughening
sentences for a widerange of other crimes.

The presid d
life sentence without parole for major drug:
dealers possessing a single ‘prior convic-
tion, while his attorney-general_ has drafted
_a death penalty statute “for cases of murder
over which the federal government has

J to wage war against society
and will stop at nothing to achieve their
ends. These persons will not hesitate to

kill to avoid arrest and to escape when .

placed in custody.

“With this in mind," continued Mr.
Justice Tysoe, “the special guardians of
society — policemen and prison guards
and the like — must be given what pro-
fection we can give them. Our society
cannot survive without these special guard-
ians and | would retain capital puriishment
for those who murder them.”

We hope our MP's listen closely to
the views of such knowledgeable men as
President Nixon and Mr. Justice ‘Tysoe.
They know of what they speak.
