CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Dec, 22, 1966 ‘CASTLEGAR NEWS dred and Forty-Seven un awed by infl and unbribed by gain” “Here tot the press the people's rights Two Wrongs Never Make a Right Premier Bennett should discharge the present royal commission investigating the electronic bugging of the Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada convention if the royal commissioner in charge of it goey ahead with his announced intention of playing in public the tape recordings made of bugged “conv fons in the V ver hotel in which the convention was held. In ing the isk t’ of the royal commission on Nov. 9, Premier Bennett said his government “ig determin- - ed to protect the rights of privacy of all citizens of the province” and the order set- all legal counsel present but with the press (and therefore the public) excluded. It would thus appear that even the International union has. some principles— belated, to be sure—about the importance of individual and group privacy in our society. In r ding that the sioner hear the tapes in public, Murray said there were two fundamental legal princi- ples involved. The first was that there are no laws at present giving a person a right to privacy and therefore the commission was being asked to apply some rules to the ting up the made rep d re- “ferences to the importance of privacy and the apparent unwarranted invasions of the privacy of Castlegar union leader Lloyd Craig, and of his unton. ; . it is apparent to us from a reading of the order ‘setting up the commission — “even if it is not apparent to the royal com- issioner—that the invasion of privacy of @ deceased: B.C. ‘resident and of a labor organization of this province is the major concern of the government order’ and not union rivalry except insofar as the rivalry related to an interference with privacy. As we see it, the commission was set p t that might come into force in the future; and that the inquiry is being car- ried out under the Public Inquiries Act and ‘therefore the matters before the inquiry should’ be brought out and aired in full view of the public. : This is ridiculous. It appears,a contra- diction to us to investigate an invasion of privacy and in the course of that investi- gation té make even more public the pri- vate discussions which were electronically \ jppéd‘on ‘and’ tap ded The alleged far left-wing connection of some of the CP&PWC members has been ioned during the course of the past up b one labor org: vaded the privacy of another labor organization in order to obtain information about the latter group. The provincial government was shocked by this and felt that no group or individuals should be privy to private conversations and discussions carried on by other groups or individuals. Now the royal commissioner intends to widen. the circle of those with information about the CP&PWC union’s activities from a couple of private investigators and a rival union Jeader to the public at large. In view of this, we must agree com- pletely with CP&PWC counsel John Laxton who, after he told the commission that his union’s decision to object to the playing of the tapes was reached after a great deal of soul- hii ted that he be- lieved the hearing of the tapes would a- mount to an invasion of privacy by the commission itself. Mr. Laxton said to listen publicly to the tapes would be tantamount to finding that the purpose of the inquiry was simply to inquire into a dispute between the two unions. He continued: “Tt would be denying the validity of the premise on which the inquiry is based—that the invasion of pri- vacy is improper .. . It would be tanta- ‘mount to prejudicing one of the very ques- tions you have to decide—whether or not eavesdropping by electronic devices should ‘be tolerated in our society.” few weeks and there are probably some people who feel that the tapes should be heard to either confirm this matter or lay it to rest. To them we say that democracy is superior to a totalitarian system simply because it doesn’t resort to using some of the techniques employed by Iron Curtain countries. If there are Communists in the CP&PWC union, let’s uncover them in other ways, not by justifying invasions of privacy that are most certainly " morally wrong, Mr. Murray, if not legally wrong. Our view on this matter is. that bug- ging is wrong and that playing the tapes in public is just compounding a morally of- fensive act. The commissioner should also consid- er the fact that innocent people can be ca RMY| SS) U6. Ae YOU ‘SURE THERE AIN'T ANY VIET.
