CASTLEGAR NEWS, huey, May 7, 1964 CASTLEGAR NEWS “Hero let the press the people's rights malntaln, unawed by influence and unbribed by_gaba” Established in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven Keep that McGeer Fellow Away from Here Dr. Pat McGeer, Liberal MLA. for Vancouver-Point Grey and lecturer at the University of British Columbia, has been touring the province letely addressing meetings sponsored by local Liberal‘ as- sociations. Let’s hope Liberal associations in the Kootenay area have the good sense not to invite the man to speak here for at least another six months, Dr. McGeer, who is his party’s edu- eation spokesman and critic, has been extremely outspoken in proclaiming that not.enough is being done. on vocational school training and university and college building in B.C. (This in spite of the fact ithat in the past year Victoria College has been given university status, Notre Dame : College has been given university status, ‘Simon Fraser University has been under- ‘taken, the enabling legislation has been Mass Twist It seems there is danci at the given three regional colleges while three vocational schools have been put into op- eration.) A visit by Dr. McGeer to this area at this time—unless he was muzzled first by local party officials—would only add fire to the regional college question. The six participating school boards have decided that the college should be located within the school district No. 9 boundaries and a money vote is to be presented on this bas- is. It is a vote that is already bound to have from the Salmo area and it might not take too much further controversy to defeat the bylaw entirely. Speaking in Osoyoos, MLA McGeer ‘compr be built at Penticton and Vernon in ad- dition to the regi ed by UBC pr Dr.; John J donald . for Kelowna! The Okanagan \ dantantties have not been able to agree unanimously | on the location for the regional college and now Dr. McGeer adds further fuel to the flames. Apart from the financial _ir- responsibility of his statements (the tax- payers there will hardly wish to build three * White House when occasion permits.: The ‘Yemarkable nature of Presi : when’ one will’ do ‘the job. for some years to come), Dr..McGeer has in- troduced a new item into the wrangle that is shown by a report, in the ever ‘reliable New York Times, that on the evening .of ‘a recent diplomatic reception, Mr. John- ‘son carried his campaign to win friends ind influence people on to. the. dance - ; floor, “twirling off with at least 50 aston- 'ished women.” —. +.

W. Herridge, MP (continued from last week) < Mr, Herridge: It is quite cor- rect to say that the downsteam state has recourse to the courts of the upsteam state. If the Uni- ted States thought they were da- maged in any way they could have recourse to our courts. Mr. Davis: In other words we do not have an unlimited right. Mr. Herridge: We have the right to divert this water, and there has never been an appeal by the U.S. to our courts, ten hon. Member: A limited ate, Herridge: I want to deal with my fourteenth illustration of misleading statements. The hon. member for Coast-Capilano, wi- dely accepted as the chairman of the power committee of the Liberal caucus, said in the house on December 12, 1962: 1, We must - not agree to conditions which tle © our hands with respect to the ©: use of water in our territory; 2, the Libby project must be post. . ned if not eliminated; 3, pro- plan for action on the Colum=* bia — I have a copy but i do not have to read it — the hon. member for Coast-Capilano said that the treaty is unworkable and must be renegotiated. The public were elearly:led to believe that this was the of the Li- treaty as it was at that time. Mr, Davi8: Mr. Speaker, will the hon. gentleman permit ano- ther question? Does the hon. member not.concede that in the protocol which has been negotia- ted in recent. months there are beral party, There were articles in the Vancouver . newspapers written by the member for Coast- Capilano which mentioned that the hon, gentleman was. chair- “man of the B.C. power policy committee of the Liberal party. There has been no such re- negotiation, Far from: any sig- nificant improvements, the pro- tocol merely reinforces some of - the clauses that’ were most des- tructive of Canada’s interests. I have a copy here of a speech on the Columbia river made by the. some of which certainly wera recom- mended by General McNaughton and other gentlemen’ whom. the hon, member claims to support? . Mr, Herridge: The only im- provement in this treaty from . our point of view is that we have obtained a bit more cash for. the power. One of the bad features of this treaty is’ that we’ have sold our cheap power. from the Columbia to the United States on a firm basis for: 30 years; that is one difference in. this. treaty.
