The Huron Expositor, 1972-03-02, Page 4By John D. Relations Branch 156 PREJUDICE When we firstlearned of our Government's decision to recog- nize - the Government of Com- munist china, some of us were outraged to think that we would have diplomatic' ties with the Communists instead of the Nat- ionalists. It seemed to be a slap in the face to the one-time rec- ognized Nationalist Government of China. But the events of the last teen days, with the meeting of the leaders of two of the world's most powerful countries, we realize that our Government played an important role in laying the foundation for President Nixon'a visit to China. Our attitude on becoming allied diplomatically with the •Communists in China was not surprising. Communism in our view is suppression of freedom. young Canadians fought and died in two world wars for freedom, so naturally our ,prejudices will be •hard to overcome. We will never regard communism as being anything but- bad, but we now ,know that, in order to get along with China we have to communicate with them and Understand them while not nec- essarily agreeing with them." President Nixon's historic visit will go. down in history, whereas' Canada's role will no doubt go unnoticed. Whatever the outcome we must always remem- ber that Canada acted for the best in spite of heavy opposition. Such action took great courage • and •leadership. Nevertheless we should always be alert to pro- .tect. our,.freeddin. and remember, that extreme socialism is akin to communism, because it de- prives us of our individuality. We are blessed with an effect- ive weapon to fight suppression Public Baker Officer Woodham tiVR9N Pce041T0R/ SEAFORTH, ONT..
