Put up with poison or
revive Inquisition?

‘lo The Hon. Russ Fraser,
Attorney General,
Province of British Columbia

They tell me you are an
engineer, not a lawyer. But that is
no reason why you should be so
thick-headed. You show a
gopher-like dimness. Either that,
or you are out to please a power-
ful pressure group at the expense
of the general citizenry.

You obviously want the hate
laws broadened. In that, you are
lining up with the Attorney Gen-
eral of New Brunswick, one James
Lockyer, who is anxious to serve
teacher Malcolm Ross’s head on a
platter to the Atlantic Jewish
Council and other militants.

What you know about that
Ross case could probably be writ-
ten on a grain of rice. | have ex-
plained it before, and will not
repeat it now. It is enough to say
that Ross is a teacher who has
written books to which the Jews
take exception. He should have
known better, of course, because
that is a sure recipe for harass-
ment.

In case you never knew, let me
tell you that writing books critica!
of religion could once get a guy’s
bum burned over a big pile of
wood. We don’t do that sort of
thing these days, although there
are those whe much regret the
passing of the auto da fe. But if
you are a Malcolm Ross you can
still end up in front of a Human
Rights Inquisition, have the media
depict you as a creature with
horns, and forfeit thousands of
dollars in legal fees while your
tormentors laugh, the state being
happy to pay their costs for them.

I am explaining all this as I
would to a child, Russ, because |
consider you to be a kind of
Sergeant Buzfuz. One of your
sparkling comments was that no-
one can be in favor of hate litera-
ture. They can, though. Both sides
ran 2 lot of hate lit during World
War Two, some of it to excellent
effect. The same was true of the
recent Gulf affair.

But back to the Hon. Lockyer.

ON THE OTHER HAND

He regrets that charges against
Ross under the hate Jaws wouldn’t
work, the books in question being
based on religious conviction. So
he wants this inconvenient loop-
hole blocked, and is asking every
attorney general in the country to
back his noble endeavor.

Freedom of speech and
religion? What does it matter? In
an age of government by witless
politicians and pressure groups
there is no room for such an old-
fashioned Anglo-Saxon concept.
Besides, how many votes do the
Rosses command?

Your comments on these she-
nanigans are illuminating. You
stated: ‘*To hide behind an
organization and call it religious
when actually your main purpose
is promoting hate literature or
hate propaganda is not acceptable
in my view.°*

I will make a bet you have
never read a word of what Ross
has written and that you are sim-
ply repeating, parrot-like, what
Lockyer or the Canadian Jewish
Congress and its cronies have told
you. I would also guess you
haven’t the faintest idea what
freedom of speech means, and
that if I mentioned John Milton’s
Areopagitica you would think I
was talking about some new air-
craft. But if one man’s religion is
another man’s poison, it is better

fo put up with the poison than to
revive the Inquisition.

There are other things that
should interest an attorney gener-
al. Once upo.. a time, lawyers
were free to take controvers*+:]
cases without having their motives
questioned. Those who defend
murderers, for instance, are not
necessarily in favor of murder.
But Organized Jewry is after
Doug Christie’s head, too, he not
only having defended Ernst
Zundel, the spreader of ‘‘false
news,”’ but also James Keegstra
and Imre Finta the ‘war crimi-
nal.”* He came to Ross’s
assistance in the Human Rights
Inquisition, too, the outcome of
which is pending.

it follows that to some people
he is dangerous, and the
strangely-named Jewish Civil
Rights Educational Foundation,
which represents some 700 lawyers
and judges is trying to prevent
him from taking cases in Ontario.
Which would be an effective
disbarment.

The attempt is wrapped in a lot
of pious twaddle about the integ-
rity of the justice system and
about how Christie uses the courts
to air his own views. But it all
boils down to how he is a thorn in
their side. They wish he would fall
off a cliff.

Well, there you have it, Russ.
But I don’t hold cut much hope
of your being able to take it in.
So my advice is that being an
engineer, you should go off and
build some bridges or something
and not try to be a lawyer. There
are enough lousy lawyers around
already.
