COMMENT OF THE DAY

TH

The People's

People's Court

THE so-called trial of five Canadian nuns in Canton yesterday typifies the travesty of law and justice which the Chinese Communists have intro- duced to the country under the guise of the People's Court. For those who stand accused there is no trial; only a public denunciation by prosecutors and witnesses. No attempt is made tu prove a case by sworn evidence nor 18 the validity or truth of the testimony allowed to be tested by cross- examination. Defendants stand con- victed before the prosecution opens its case, and the degree of punishment is solely at the dictate of a judge who makes no attempt to weigh evidence or consider mitigating circumstances. The people of China are no longer subject to a court of law, but a tribunal which operates only to terrorise; it seek not tr administer justice, but to exact vengeance on behalf of the State. The trial of the Catholic nuns in Canton was a travesty in every respect. The charges were trumped up and no effort was made to substantiate them. The defendants were given no hearing nor were they allowed to be defended. The People's Court had a field day, with propaganda running riot. The menning

Importance

of the demonstration, however, cannot he lost. Further notice has been served to the world that the Chinese Communists have no place for tolerance in their philosophy; that they intend to rule by intimidation, and that none can look for justice and fair treatment if they are considered to be thinking or behaving in any way that fails to run parallel with the dicta laid down by The democratic world can the State. only regard the activities of the People's Court with revulsion, allied with a deep feeling of sympathy for those who become its victims. That foreigners as well as Chinese are subjected to its terrorism is clearly a deliberate gesture on the part of the Communist authori- ties; it can have but one meaning-the

intend eventually Reda

to clear Westerners out of the mainland. To achieve this they are prepared to stoop to false accusations, dissemination of inflammatory propaganda, and the use of the People's Court to denounce innocent people. Dark days of fear and Intimidation lie ahead of the Chinese people under a regime that denies the inherent right of fair trial and legal justice.

Of Big Four Talks

POSITIVE progress towards solution

of

the disarmament problem appears to hinge on the outcome of the secret Big Four talks which begin in Paris today. East and West have substantial differences to compose and It will require a considerable amount of give and take if the Big Four are to achieve anything. Russia advocaten. Immediate wholesale disarmament and the abolition of atomic weapons, un- Jaupervised by the United Nations or any other independent body. The Western democracies' view is that olgradual reduction of armaments and E-anilitary forces under the aegis of the

United Nations, and the eventual out- lawing of atomic wenpons is a more rational method, and the only one cap able of being wholly effective. At the moment there is common agreement that world disarmament is vitally necessary to the maintenance of peace. This, however, is not enough to produce disarmament,
