might. The decision to display raw and
brutal force by the invasion of a neigh'
boring state they • apparently failed to
recognize as a barometer of moral
standards which would prove indigest-
ible to nations around the world.
if any of those people who have
fought bitterly against the boycott of
the games remain unconvinced of So-
viet standards they should think once
more about Russian hospitality. Within
recent weeks the Soviets have in-
creased security forces for the big
event to over 100,000 men and women
ordered to keep the visitors in line.
They have issued warnings that the
friendly invasion of athletes and their
supporters will create health hazards
related to venereal disease. Another
warning says that ail Muscovites
should beware of the possibility of
poisoned gum being offered to children.

T#ie•eyes of most Americans and a
good;; many Canadians were turned
toward,, Detroit . last week as the
Republl'can party held, its presidential
nominating convention. Whether we
Canadians- like It or not, the man who

nyof.us who live north of the border:
As expected,former actor Ronald
Reagan was unopposed as the GOP's
presidential candidate, the man who
will oppose President Jimmy Carter

Editor Peter Newnan of Mac-

politician ever. to� be nominated for
•leadership of any major nation ... a
kind .of prior man's John Wayne, all
profile and .bromides,chasing the
greatest Oscar of them •ell".
A discouraging overview, to• say
the least. Most Canadians possess a
les studied viewpoint than Editor
Newman, but it is true that most of us
in this country have been less than
impressed by the qualities, of leader-
ship exhibited by American presidents
since the death of President Kennedy.
It is the awesome power of his of-
fice that makes any American presi-
dent a man to be not only honored but
feared. In no other free world country
is the popularly -elected political leader
also the commander-in-chief of the
armed forces. That is a role usually re-
served for the juntas of Central and
South America. No single person in the
Kremlin has the power to send Soviet
armed forces into action —a fact which
has not escaped the decision -makers in
the USSR.
Another peculiarity of American
'politics often escapes Canadians. The
president is not surrounded by a cab-
- inet of duly elected representatives of
he people- His cabinet members are
his personal employees, loyal to the
president above and beyond all else.
Watergate proved once and for all time
that an American cabinet does not
necessarily act in the best interests of
the people of that nation.
The president who is elected next
fall, be he Carter or Reagan, will have
a far-reaching effect on Canadians.
There are dozens of treaties, regula-
tions, cross-border business corpora-
tions, every one of which has some dir-
ect or indirect bearing on Canadian
jobs and lives. If that president is a
man of vision he wilt realize that two
separate nations which have so many
initimate ties must live together in
peace and cooperation. If he lacks that
vision our future is much fess assured.

The TV invasion of our homes has
Produced many ed phenom-
ena- It has changed the fates of poll --
delta, styles of everyday life and even
patterns of - Many of its influ-
ences have been benign; some have
been cfistincily bad, while yet others
have left deeply-intbedded question
marks_
One Thing teteviton has obviously
dane is create a vast' and receptive
aucrtence for religion -oriented broad-
casts- Millions, particularly the lonely
and the homebound, have sought and
found spiritual balm in theperrnanent
smiles of the airborn evangelists who
provide instant formulas for salvation
and peace. However, the common
denominator which pervades these
professionally organized religious
shows is the never-ending request for
money, couched 'in phrases which are
directed at the personal conscience of
the listener_
There is, of course nothing wrong
with asking a religious believer for fi-
nancial assistance- Every one of our
established churches does so. These
churches could not survive without the
funds required to support their minis-
tries_ Over -the -air fund raising, 'how
ever, is a vastly different Matter. The
difference lies chiefly in the fact that
those who are asked to contribute ha"ve
no way of knowing with any degree of
truth, where their money is going; in-
deed, whether or not their 'c'ontribu-
tions are used for anything much more
than the personal enjoyment of the
evangelist.
The well-known TV evangelist,
Oral Roberts, recently mailed out a
seven -page letter to each of some mil-
lions of his "partners in ministry"
asking for sizable donations. Fascin-
ated with the figures 6 and 7, Roberts
asks for donations of $67 and 5670, pre -
`s i'o iably allocated with the partner's
worldly affluence in mind. Once again,.
there is nothing wrong with a request
for support, but here there is a distinct
pitch — the promise that the donor's
future financial success will hinge upon
compliance with the request. Some-
what like a written contract with God
for a financial investment.
The Roberts campaign has in
previous years, netted about 560 mil-
lion annually. The money has been
used to erect a university in Tulsa,
Oklahoma and plans are under way for
a vast hospital complex in the same
city_
Possibly the Roberts foundation is
entirely honest and above -board. How-
ever, contributors have no way of
knowing what percentage of their
money is used for such admirable pur-
poses. Recently the famous Rex Hum -
bard was disclosed as the master ofd ,.
vastly expensive mansion, presumably
paid for from contributions to his
"ministry'. There have been many
other allegations of personal gain dir-
ected to broadcast evangelists over the
years.
