The response of the people .of . the
U.S. to the successful seclusion and
escape of six from the American
embassy in Iran, engineered by Canada,
has been overwhelming. Canadians
appreciate their many expressions of
gratitude but we cannot help but
wonder why the Americans should be
surprised and excite about Canadians
having accomplished it, It was an act Of
tieighbourly kindness arid consideration,
Did they imagine that their northern
neighbours lacked the humanity and
ingenuity to do what was dime?

What a pity that the Olympics, one
of the objectives of which is meant to be
the strengthening of international accord'

pawn. In the U.S. drive for a boycott on
the Summer Olympics in Moscow my
sympathy goes out .to Canada's athletes
who have sacrificed much, and devoted
years of hard, training to meet the
standard of accomplishment they • must
have to gain a berth on our Olympic
team. TO have their opporuntiy to
participate• snatched away when they
have reached that goal must mean heart
break. for them. Then there is the other
side of the coin. The unwarrented acts.
