"Let us hope and pray that the. efforts and sacrifice of those whom we honor today will not have been in vain. Let , us by conciliation and understanding eradicate man's inhum- anity to man." ; Canadians, historically, have always been ready and eager to accept responsibility in a just and worthy cause. We are indebted to those who have given their lives for the godd things which we enjoy and take far too much for granted." "Unfortunately a good portion of so-called humanity is no embroiled in totally unjust wars, and it is significant that Canada. has chosen to disassociate themselves from such con- frontations." "This, to me indicates that Canada will rally to the aid of those needing support for a just cause but turn in abhorence from interference in the domestic affairs of another nation. This is why Canada and Canadians are held in such high repute and why our armed forces have been among our best embassadors showing our way of life and our kind of people!" "While most of us would not wish to live anywhere else we still I think, agree that there is much 'to be accomplished yet, in Canada, in the field of human rights and civil liber- ty. The Provincé. of Ontario is presently studying a report rights, freedoms and liberties of our citizens and determin~ ing how far there may be encroachments on these. Some of the recommendations made have already been incorporated in recent legislation, and I look forward to taking an active part in further implementation." ; " Discrimmination against any person threatens not only the individual but the foundation of our democratic society. Human rights and human dignity is not achieved by lofty rhetoric but by giving substance to words by positive, con- structive action, and constant vigilance. We must concern ourselves with the violations of rights | elsewhere in the world, but our immediate duty is in our own country, our own province, our own community and our own home, and, in our mind, where prejudice begins. And preju-~ dice can influence our concern for others to an extent we may never realize unless, or until we have an immediate in- volvement. Concrete action to remove injustice and more effective human rights are far more important ther. what has been de~ scribed as the Formulation of Satuts: continued psg> "Tabitudes.
