Huron. Crown. AtterneY W. G.
Cochrane, QC, gays police for-
ces need more pQ*9t, to combat
crime.
Sneaking at a Vimy Ridge
anniversary banquet in Goder,
fell earlier this reenth, the fora
tiler Exeter mayor suggested,
law enforcement effleere are
trying to fight a modern war
with "bow§ and arrews".
Both the first and second
wars, he said, represent gi-
gantic conflicts of evil against
right during which extraordi-
nary powers were giveg to the
soldiers to safeguard the free-.

doors and rights now incerP9r,
_ete4 in tAe Canadian Bill of
Rights.
During peacetime, these
rights are protected by the po-
lice, the crown attorney said,
with PoWere that are limited,
"and In my opinion, far too
limited."
COMPLEX SOCIETY
The complex society has bred
the criminal, Mr. Cochrane said
"The criminal really Is a pro-
duct of the way we live,"
Mr. Cochrane seggested he
found some points to favor in
Bill 99, the police bill that
brought the downfall of Attor-
ney General Frederick Cass.
Commenting on the provis-
ions, he said, "It is my conten-
tion if the witness has nothing
to hide, he has nothing to fear."
"The criminal uses powers
that we don't know. When a
criminal wants action, he gets
it. He isn't bound by any dec-
ency of law that we know or
understand. For him, the end
justifies the means."
"The children of today will
become the criminals of tomor-
row," he said. "It's up to us
to stop this from happening."
Mr. Cochrane said he was
amazed at the way some of the
public treat the police. The
victory at Vimy wasn't won, he
warned, with bows and arrows.
Likewise, modern crime.
