director of the National Film Board, a federal government agency. Juneau is now chairman of the Canadian Radio-Television Commission.

Rolland is a Special Assistant in the Prime Minister's office. "Trudeau has homosexuals everywhere," says the Conservative M.P. in the cafeteria on the Hill. "They're useable." The Fabian affinity for homosexuality is of course well known. John Maynard Keynes, for instance. "Canada is completely in the hands of the Fabians," says the M.P. "Stanfield, who is supposed to be a Conservative, is also a Fabian." "How possible is it that Canada will fall?" I asked. The Member leaned toward me, his voice a combination of bitterness and surprise. "She's already fallen," the Member said. By Their Fruit What have these various revolutionaries been doing? Trudeau recently began muttering about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He says he wants to make it more "efficient." Exactly what he means has not yet been made known, but civil libertarians will no doubt shudder at the thought of "efficient" police in the hands of a man who idolizes Mao Tse-tung. The freedom-loving freedom lovers at the Universities of Toronto and Montreal, ever alert to a whisper of "police brutality," are no doubt now preparing demonstrations to protest. It is interesting to note that Pierre wants to close up the Security and Intelligence Directorate of the R.C.M.P. - which for years has been doing a genuinely efficient job of catching Communists - and replace it with a civilian security agency. Perhaps Pierre's real complaint is that the RC.M.P. has been too efficient. It is unnecessary to wonder whom his civilian intelligence agency would investigate instead. Chairman Pierre is trying to arrange this without the traditional debate before Parliament. Parliaments and Congresses are so inefficient, are they not? Some unenlightened Members might ask embarrassing questions. Indeed, Chairman Pierre is responsible for Bill 75-C, which allows the government arbitrarily to limit debate on Bills before Parliament. The same thing is happening here, of course, in the attempt to destroy the filibuster in the U.S. Senate. The inspiration apparently is Chairman Mao's Council of Peoples' Commissars, where such problems do not exist. Then there is Chairman Pierre's Bill C-3, his attempt to liquidate "hate" and "contempt." Under C-3, anyone caught being contemptuous and hateful in print toward minorities apparently can be prosecuted and jailed. Exactly what "hate literature" is, C-3 does not make clear, but during the 1968 campaign Chairman Pierre gave us ahint, when he used that phrase to describe opposition material on which was reprinted excerpts from his own books. "Hate literature," under C-3, apparently will be anything critical of Chairman Pierre - a handy coincidence if you are imposing a dictatorship. Trudeau has also drastically reduced Canada's N.A.T.O. commitment. "He is weaning Canada away from being any help to the United States," says the Conservative M.P. in the cafeteria, "and Stanfield is helping him." Trudeau also opposes our Anti-Ballistic Missile defense. Indeed, says the M.P., Canada's own defense today is nil. Pierre has reduced her forces from 92,000 men under arms to 82,000, is destroying their professionalism and denying them needed funds. The defense of Canada's Pacific coast - all one thousand miles of it - now consists, says the M.P., of 10
