In order to put an end to violence in Canada, it is necessary I to solve the problems which people are complaining about, and the problems from which violent symptoms arise, rather than meeting it with violent and repressive tactics. This was the main message which emerged from tuesday nights general meeting called by student council to discuss the imposition of the war measures act by the federal government and highlighted by a lengthy oration by history prof Leo Johnson. Federation president Larry Burko began the meeting by ex-
plaining to a packed campus centre crowd that the purpose of the meeting was to promote discussion and to give the federation some direction from the students instead of handing down a policy from the student council. Students on, both sides of the issue presented their views on the implementation of the act and the actions of the FLQ. One student classified Trudeau as “a dictator and autocrat” for the following reasons: trying twice to limit debate in the house of commons, centralizing power and allowing government to bypass parliament. He added that the act is not only being used for political oppression but also
to suspend the constitution and give all power to the cabinet. Many students said that the act is necessary to put time on the government’s side in trying to apprehend the kidnappers of Cross and LaPorte. Others objected to the suspension of civil liberties and argued that the government had the power to deal with the FLQ under the criminal code. Shane Roberts, sci 2, made an analogy of the situation to that of ‘a teacher punishing a whole class when one boy has been bad, and she doesn’t know who that boy was. Grad, Phillip English replied to this argument, “There is one solution to this”, he began.
“Yeah,” shouted Roberts, “Spank the teacher. ” “There are two solutions to continued English. “The this,” other one is for the others in the class to tell who has been bad.” He said that for the FLQ to escape detection so far, there must be many citizens in Montreal helping them, and that it is their ,duty to turn them in. The government was right for not meeting the kidnappers’ demands, he maintained, because “it should not spend taxpayers’ money to send hoodlums to ‘Cuba.” English added that the government should have brought in the war measures act weeks ago so there would have been no kid-
nappings. Other students argued that the act was implemented not only to smash the FLQ, but also all the separatist movement in Quebec and left-wing radical movements in the rest of Canada. Duncan Reed, grad history, identified himself as a member of the liberal party, but said that he wanted the war measures act repealed because “I’m interested in something more important than the liberal party”. “We must go to the root of the problem and try to solve the things that they are complaining about. If the FLQ is just a group of demented weirdos, no Dream-page

up to find terror in Canada QUEBEC CITY - For a student called Real, it began sunday morning. The front de liberation du quebec had been holding its second hostage, quebec labor minister Pierre Laporte since 6 pm Saturday. The police arrived at Real’s parents’ house on the-outskirts of Quebec City with a warrant to search. They searched in. an orderly fashion, everywhere, including the refrigerator. “I was proud of the way my parents Real says. He is a student at reacted,” technical-academic one of Quebec’s colleges and active in politics. Not so much in any one movement as in every movernent that comes up: For the french language, --for quebec independence, for social equality, social revolution, socialism. The police took his address book and his date book, left behind some maqist literature, but took some parti quebecois literature. They searched the refrigerator because Real’s mother told them to: “Aren’t you going to look in the refriger-

ator. That’s where we’ve hidden Cross.” (James. Cross, the british trade commissioner in Montreal who was the FLQ’s first kidnap victim.) Real’s father was angry. “How much do you make for doing that job?” he asked the detective-sergeant, who replied: “$150 a week. ” “I work at the Chateau Frontenac,” Real’s father said, “I’ve been working there for 25 years, and do you know how much I make? $55.” The police took it calmly. The provincial and federal governments had not yet decided to reject the bulk of FLQ terms for the release of the kidnap victims. One of those demands was that the police searches stop. Real’s father said: “I wouldn’t do what the FLQ has done, I haven’t got the courage. But I admire them for it.” He told them yes the army jacket in his son’s closet had been his and he showed them his medals. And when they asked if he’d wear the jacket again, he said: “Yes, inside out.” That was sunday and monday Real was staying at college, where he thought it less likely police would single him out than if he was at home. NOW the police were backed by the army and acting under emergency powers.
His ‘friend Andre, who lives in the old quarter of Quebec in a commune with three other students, had undergone a search in which his effects were scattered all over the room. And at 5 am monday he had been awakened and picked up by police. “Don’t worry, you’ll be back for lunch,” the police had said. Now it was mid-afternoon and he had not been heard from. Students at the college were sitting around the newspaper office comparing information they’d picked up about the emergency powers. “It seems they can hold you for 80some days before you can ask for anything. If you haven’t been fed at the end of that time you can say ‘Could I have some soup?’ You can ask, ‘Could I please have a trial?” Some students had telephoned lawyers. Anotole Corriveau, the leading criminal lawyer in town, had said he could do nothing. Wartime law, you know. Guy Bertrand, a lawyer who has run for the parti quebecois and handled political cases was in Montmagny, a village outside of Quebec where he practices one day a week. Lawyer Claude Samson, the young defender of quebec hippies in their wars with the city over access to parks, had himself been arrested. And so, in Montre-
al, had singer Pauline Julien. The students were talking about her and her records, along with Mikis Theodorakis’ score for the anti-fascist film Z, had been playing all morning by the local radio station. The radio says 85 people have already been arrested in Quebec City. At Lava1 University a group declaring itself in agreement with the social aims of the FLQ had announced a teach-in before the government outlawed the FLQ and the intensive arrests began. A big crowd showed up for the. teachin. Speakers arrived: Raymond LaLiberte, former head of Quebec’s major teachers’ union, now a Lava1 graduate student; socialist Fernand Dumont. But Mr. LaLiberte says simply that he can say nothing-the war law against exresssions of opinion and political gatherings has been in force since early morning. So the teach-in breaks down into a series of little centres of talk about the forbidden subject. One group is listening to a pacifist from France say why he wouldn’t take up arms even if the army was in charge of her life. Another group wants to walk up to the police stations with arms outstretched, saying “lock us up.” Canacla like.

The speakers at the tuesday noon speakout called by the ad hoc committee against the war measures act (young socialist) were. quick to point out many of the inconsistencies in the fed&al governments excuses. Among -these was the ra tionaliza tion that people’s democratic rights had to be suspended in order .to preserve democracy. This kind of logic was compared to that of the world of 1984 where hate equals love etc. The response generated from_ some peqple was that those against the war measures act equals those for terrorist activities. The most verbose laced his eloquy with” $0 I support the government of Canada be*
the Senate. He said he was not aware of any secret military research @king place on campus now and noted that funding designated for military -research was used for peaceful1 purposes. The mobilizatfon, committee, led by Abie Weisfeld called for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from Indo-China ; an end to military research on campus with full disclosure of rese’arch being done; and an end to Canadian complicity in Vietnam. During the proposed moritorium on classes, the group hopes to present 5 or 6 seminars on various aspects of the war in Vietnam. r

one in Quebec would support them.” Johnson’s speech was an exposition of these root causes and injustices and an attempt to relate the recent actions of the FLQ to them. “Canada is a dream that is founded on a lie,” he began. “The lie is that this is a country for all people in it. But it is not for the Indians or the French, only the middle and upper class Ontarions who created it and own it. We own it because we stole it from the Indians and French. “And we will have little trouble keeping it if we just remember that it is for us. Pierre Turdeau* and the war measures act will keep it for us.” He said that the question for young French Canadians is no longer one of whether or not to separate, but one of how to do it. “Indians never had a voice,” Johnson continued, “And many are now engaging in violence and demanding a say in this country.

The board of governors gave approval tuesday for a $21,560 purchase of 76 acres of unique land in Wilmot township to serve as an outdoor laboratory. In its drawn-out three and a half hour meeting the board also approved a request from the graduate student union for a threedollar refundable society fee to be collected each term from all graduate students, granted dismissal from tenure for two instructors and approved a federation of students audit submission. The board also received the university’s lengthy and detailed audited financial statement from chartered accountants Clarkson, Gordon and company. Academic vice-president Howard Petch revealed negotiations are now under way with Guelph and McMaster universities to obtain special land parcels in southern Ontario to be shared as outdoor labs in the study of local landscape formation. Referring to the Spongy lake purchase, newly-named finance vice-president Bruce Gellatly noted students in geography, planning, man-environment and architecture would use the facility and that the cost would be funded from the environmental studies budget. In a letter to the board and administration Burt Matthews, two management sciences professors, Donald Clough and Kenneth Mackenzie requested tenure previously granted them be revoked by the board. “We believe,” stated the letter, “that (tenure) piaces a professor in a specially privileged social class. “Since the public treasury provides most of the money for payment of professors’ salaries, and professors are considered

The Vietnam mobilization committee then asked for federation support of their march against the war in Vietnam on october 30th. Burko remarked that students are tired of marches and that not even the engineers get excited about them anymore. The young socialists then accused council of being apathetic and of not standing up for their beliefs. Vice-president Rick Page pointed out that there was a standing policy on Vietnam and the motion was withdrawn and the meeting adjourned. The grad issue was also discussed at the meeting. Since Burt Matthews has still not made a decision about the grads and since grad money does not seem to be forthcoming, it was decided to suspend the grads from federation services. This should mean that grad students will have to pay full prices at movies, concerts, pubs and should no longer be able to listen to radio Waterloo or read the chevron. However it is impossible to enforce these measures since ID cards are the same for grads and undergrads and there is no policing of radio or chevron distribution. This means that undergrad students will be paying for those services enjoyed by grad students. The loss of grad money also meant that the federation budget had to be cut. The amount of $12,000 dollars was therefore cut from the budget, most of the money coming off the creative arts board and the auxilliary concerts budget.

Yet another is listening to a man suggest you can still talk as long as you don’t talk about the crisis at hand. “You talk about the situation in Prague. How the Russians had told the Czechs they had a certain autonomy, but when it came down to it, the troops moved in.” In spite of the law, political action of various kinds was taking place in Quebec. One group was distributing mimeographed copies of the FLQ manifesto on campuses. A Montreal group was touring the colleges and universities showing its film of the action of the St. Henri workers committee in the Montreal slum district. Trooms are not evident on the campus. Even police are scarce. There is a rumor-it turns out
to be false-of massive arrests at a nearby technical-academic college where students voted to go on strike in protest against the rejection of the FLQ demands and the military measures that followed. At Real’s technical-academic college, police plainclothesmen have made a few visits but have not found anybody they were looking for. Real is afraid to go home. The college offers some protection, but the students in the college newspaper office are agreed that life there will be dull now that political meetings are banned. So Real goes for a beer and supper at a nearby student tavern.. Friends offer him the keys to their apartments so he can stay there when night comes.

Meliorist was distributed today despite threats of arrest of students involved and seizure of the paper by local police. The university administration has also warned the students they could be expelled if they distributed the paper, which was carrying an abridged form of the FLQ manifesto. At a general meeting tuesday, called to discuss the situation, the Meliorist staff distributed a, leaflet saying that they did not support violence, nor did they support the terrorist means of the FLQ, however “we do support most of their (FLQ) anti-imperialist, anti-liberal aims and we are against the repressive war measures act.” The leaflet also threatened that the staff would shut down the newspaper if they were not allowed f r.ee expression. The students council at Lethbridge has also given its support to the paper. The editor Barry Poffenroth said he was resigning because of the whole affair. The Meliorist was called back from distribution friday (Oct. 16) when it was learned the WMA had been declared. When it was learned friday that no other paper outside of Quebec (they hadn’t heard about the Ontarion) was being pressured or prosecuted for publishing the FLQ manifesto, distribution of the paper was arranged for monday morning. However an inspector from the local police force threatened to seize the papers and arrest the editor if the paper was distribut-
ed, so it was again held back. Monday afternoon , the students council announced their support for the paper but it was too late in the day to distribute the papers. Distribution was planned for tuesday. Tuesday at 12:30 noon, arts and science dean Holmes, an acting senior administrator, phoned Poffenroth and said he forbids the Meliorist to distribute the rest of their editions. The dean followed up his call with a letter saying the same thing and also informing the editor : “I shall recommend to the president and the general faculties council that any student apprehended distributing said literature be dismissed from the university.” Poffenroth resigned in protest. Administration president Beckell said that he interpreted Holmes letter as saying that the uniitself off versity was cutting from the problem. Beckell said the letter required more official words in it before it could be interpreted as a threat to discipline students.

The toxic effects of lead have been known for thousands of years. So it seems amazing that in the 20th century we would deliberately add lead to gasoline knowing that it must end up in the air we breathe - to the tune of 500,000,000 pounds annually in north America. Each gallon of regular gasoline contains about two grams of lead, each gallon of premium about four grams. So, for each mile you drive, you release about .OlO grams of lead in the form of tiny particles. Unfortunately, these particles are just the right size to be readily absorbed by human lungs. In Chicago, some children with .048 mg. (1000 mg. equals 1 gram, 454 grams equals 1 pound) of lead per 100 cubic centimeters (cc) of blood had to be treated for symptoms of lead poisoning. Others were all right with .060 mg. of lead per 100 cc of blood, which indicates the stupidity of setting one standard for everyone. Let’s see how far you would have to drive to produce enough lead to poison a child. An average child has roughly 2,000 cc of blood. So a blood lead level of .048 mg. per 100 cc means a total of .48 mg. of lead in the blood. Driving one mile releases 10 mg. of lead, enough to poison 10 children if it were all absorbed. This example, of course, assumes a,lot. The lead from the exhaust pipe is diluted with air, not all of it is absorbed, etc. We realize that. We also realize that there are thousands of cars, and lead is a cumulative poison. It builds up in the bones, kidney and liver. Also, the number of cars increases each year as does the average number of miles driven per car. We can foresee nothing but a steadily rising concentration of lead in our air unless leaded gasolines are banned. There are indications that the level of lead in blood is a poor indicator of the total body burden of lead. Experiments carried out with pigeons showed that although city pigeons had about the same blood lead levels as their country cousins, the total amount of lead in the bodies of the city pigeons was about five times higher.
hassled
The administration president told Allan Wilson, a member of the Meliorist staff: “You must be insecure if you took the letter as a threat.” The students face a double jeopardy situation, if they were to be jailed or convicted or a criminal offence, the university said they also would have to take disciplinary steps. In Guelph the local police confiscated the plates and papers of the Ontarion on friday, charging they contravened section 62 of the criminal code dealing with seditious libel. The edition of the paper carried the FLQ manifesto. Police chief Robert McCarron said that no charges had been laid. “There was an investigation,” he said, “but it is now closed. We have nothing more to do with the Ontarion.” McCarron said he knows where the plates are that were taken from the printers but refused to disclose the place. Editor of the paper Steven Nazer said he might resign over the whole affair. On monday the Ontarion was forced to hand out 4,000 gestet-
Problems
mcmipulating
OTTAWA (CUP) - The Trudeau regime is coming up against the inevitable problems involved in manipulating an occupating army, and the business communities protected by the soldiers are, predictably, settling down to figuring out what it all means in dollars and cents. Defence minister Donald MacDonald said he could throw an additional 1,000 men into the field
without excessive strain on the armed forces. The minister said Wednesday that the troop cutbacks announced last year would continue, although earlier reports had speculated that the minister might try to get around the 1.8 billion dollars armed forces budget which does not allow for major recruitment. Tanks will not be used to “battle the FLQ”, MacDonald disclosed. “They would not be useful and they would look provocative. Besides they would probably rip up the pavement.” The army more than 12,000 troops, provincial and local police - are believed to be currently posted in Quebec-has yet to battle anyone. They are however, searching for 22 people believed connected with the kidnappings. The minister refused to reveal exactly how many troops are occupying Quebec. He did say however, that some trouble has developed because so few soldiers speak french. Creditiste leader Real Caouette, a strong believer in Canadian unity and bilingualism and bilculturalism, is being guarded by a unilingual english soldier. He has asked for a french speaking guard. Reports from Montreal indicate that the population there is also uptight about the occupating forces which include soldiers from as far away as Edmonton, and police officers are frequently being asked whether the troops are Vandoos. The Vandoos are part of the Royal 22nd Regiment, a largely french unit. They form only a small part of the forces currently in the city. After a flurry or panic in the business community following the kidnappings; the people who make it all possible are settling back down to work. Insurance spokesmen have reassured property holders that there is little chance the war measures act would cancel property insurance protection. But it appears that if the company can prove that damage is due to “insurrection” then coverage can be denied. The government has referred to the situation as an “apprehended insurrection. ” A spokesman for the Ontario insurance agents asso-

This is thought to happen because lead is rapidly deposited in the body tissues and bones. Thus initially high blood lead levels may soon return to deceptively normal levels. It is now known that while blood levels of lead decrease, the urine will contain high levels of ALA (a body chemical involved in the production of red blood cells) for a long time (up to a year), showing that the stored lead was interferring with the normal production of red blood cells. The symptoms of lead poisoning are sometimes hard to detect. They include: pallor, poor appetite, fatigue, deranged digestion, colic, constipation and in sever cases headaches, hallucinations, coma and death.. The lead emitted from cars is a very large part of the total lead in people. Of the lead we eat with our food and drink in our water only about ten per cent is absorbed. The restis eliminated, whereas, the lead in the air is less in concentration, but almost 50 per cent of it is absorbed. Some parts of the w o r 1 d have reached critical levels of lead in the air already. In Japan, cars had to be banned from a section of one city because the lead levels were too high. > There is only one sane thing to do: ban leaded gasolines outright. Remember, it will take time to set up facilities to produce unleaded gasolines. It is already being done in parts of the United States. Waiting until we have to ban it because people are being poisoned enmass would be madness. Lead has another strike against it: catalytic mufflers which could almost eliminate carbon monoxide and nitric oxides are also poisoned by lead. Lead is one pollutant which can and must be eliminated from our environment. Pollution Proble suggests you write to George Kerr, Minister of E n e r g y and Resources Management, Queen-s Park, Toronto, and demand that lead be removed from gasoline. A boycott of those service stations not selling non or low leaded gaso-lines is also an immediate priority. \,

nered papers explaining the seizure because they could not find a printer to run off the paper. Through out this the campus reaction has not been very heavy. A member of the Ontarion editorial board said people seem to have trouble separating civil liberties from the actions that brought on the invocation of the WMA. The Ontarion is laying out another paper tonight in the hopes that this one will get printed. -At McGill, police officials made their way to the daily office sunday night and warned the editor about printing another editorial like the one carried in the friday edition condemning the FLQ, but also criticizing the government for invoking the war measures act. Many papers find themselves imposing a form of self censorship because they are unable to interpret the WMA in terms of freedom of the press. And besides there is always some vigilant administrator waiting to pounce. ’ L
urmy ciation said it was the “grey area between a full fledged insurrection and the pint-sized variety “which the insurance agents want to explore. ” Wednesday saw a tightening of security in Ottawa. Guards at public buildings began asking employees they had seen everyday for years for their passes. More than 500 troopswere moved into the city about 10 days ago, just after the La Porte Kidnapping. Minister John Munro told reporters that maybe one day the public would find out why the government felt it had to impose the war measures act. But, then again, maybe it wouldn’t. In any case, the Canadian people just had to trust that the government was doing the right thing in suspending their civil rights, the health minister said. A document rumoured to be an impetus for Ottawa’s actions is a secret report by Montreal police warning of an impending insurrection. Although none. of the “Canadian people” have been allowed to see the reportin fact its very existence has yet to be confirmed-it very likely resembles the one and one half inch thick brief that Montreal mayor Jean Drapeau submitted to the government last year. That brief asked the government to set up a royal commission to investigate various left wing groups because they were trying to - forment revolution on government money. The report charged that volunteers for the company of young Canadians were involved in planning anti government protests. Soon after, Ottawa quietly withdrew its CYC projects in french speaking areas of Quebec. While the french press has condemned the FLQ, it has also described the french in Quebec as an oppressed people, exploited by an anglo-saxon establishment. Wednesday the Gaullist newspaper La Nation ran an editorial which commented that as deplorable as La Porte’s death was, perhaps the crisis would unify quebecois to fight for Quebec’s destiny. And Quebec’s destinyit made clear, was not as a part of confederation. _ 23 October

I? THE EVENTS OF past few months are indicative of the political climate of the middle-east, it would appear that the volatile and complicated situation which precipitated the arab-israeli conflict of 1967 is more ominous and foreboding than ever. The extension of the mid-east conflict to encompass the factional interests of Palestinian refugees has served to cast considerable light on the international repercussions which would result from any forthcoming mid-east peace settlement. That military training exercise, commonly referred to as “the six-day war” witnessed the expansion of israeli boundaries to include the Sinai Peninsula and the western section of Jordan. Inevitably, the pawns in this political poker game are the people of Palestine who have the most to lose through the implimentation of an externally imposed peace settlement.
This incident alone elicited a wrath of indignation from western sources who categorically condemned the Palestinian commandos for their “acts of barbarism” as well as the degrading conditions with which the hostages had to contend with in the jordanian desert. Reports from hostages after their release contradicted such claims completely. The highjackings themselves were designed. to undermine the credibility of the middle-east peace talks which sought to impose an unjust settlement on the people of Palestine-dispossessed from their homeland more than twenty years ago; a homeland referred to as “a land without people fora people without land.” The Palestinians were intent on showing that they could only regain their dignity through armed struggle.
But in spite of their plight, the Palestinians have inextricably linked the existence of a separate Zionist state of Israel to western imperialism.
As it turned out, something did give. The wanton slaughter of thousands of Palestinian refugees in Amman, Irbid, and throughout the jordanian countryside only served to doom the Hussein regime to a life of uncertainty and insecurity.
Initially, it was the staunch and unwielding integrity of british imperialism which managed to literally “carve out the existence” of a separate Zionist state in the middle-east . The B&our declaration of 1917 had originally provided a basis by which the fate of Jews in Europe might be reconciled. To a similar extent it provided a suitable rationale for the preservation of british imperial interests in the Suez canal, which exercised a strategic function in access to land and sea routs of the east.
Reports from foreign journalists in Irbid and Amman only reinforced the conception that it was an effective ’ consolidation between the Palestinian people and the guerillas which was rendering the efforts of Hussein useless in suppressing the revolution” But the role which american imperialism plays in the middle-east must not be underestimated. The preservation of the Zionist state of Israel is a good enough reason for the U.S. to spread its tentacles throughout the middle-east as far and as fast as it can. The preservation of the fascist oriented Hussein regime in Jordan is more important to the U.S. as an imperial power than the Israel alone.
But not to be outdone by the homey, down-to-earth type of british imperialism was the “protector of the the United States of America. free-world”of imperialism
had changed
with
The new foreign imperialism of the middle-east maintained that only a separate Zionist state of Israel could provide a secure bastion against the arabic nationalism which threatened economic exploitation of the middleeast and american imperialism at large. During the six-day war, different factional interests had been effectively played off against each’other. The inherent anomosity of the arab states had been channeled by their respective leaders into that of a collective effort against Israel ; irregardless of the oppressive conditions in various arab states. Most recently, the U.S. has attempted to write the Palestinian people out of existence with the implementation of the “Rogers peace -plan”-a plan contrived and designed expressly for the purpose of bringing about a stalemate in a wholly regional conflict-an imposed stalemate on foreign terms, somewhat reminiscent of any interest in foreign affairs which it feels would directly affect “the peace and security” of-------. It’s the same all over. Just fill in the blank. Although the american ceasefire in the fighting nature of its proposals of a far-reaching nature.
peace pro osal advocated a in the mi B dle-east, the very had imperialist implications
Since the U.S. is dependent upon the arab states of the middle east for approximately fifty percent of its oil reserves, any conflict in the mid-east would ultimately endanger its prospects for the economic exploitation of oil-rich arab states. Always look to imperialism for the best. The ment were ed by to the
popularly supported Palestine liberation movesaw no validity in the Rogers plan. Palestinians of the conviction that they were neither representany arab state in the talks nor were they subject influence of any arab government.
But the series of events which tended to cast the most light on the particular predicament of the palestinians were the highjackings which inadvertently resulted in the destruction of three aircraft in the jordinian desert.
The mobilization of the U.S. sixth fleet in the Mediterranean reinforced the theory that by no means did the United States intend to let the Hussein regime be overthrown. A typical example of the profound american rationale for this action was- the charge of intervention by the Syrian army in support of the Palestinian guerillas. This was never proven however. The only assistance which the Palestinians in Jordan had received came from other Palestinian guerillas in Syria. At this time, Hussein’s future was understandably, in doubt owing to various military successes of the guerrillas. But in making every effort to brutally suppress a revolutionary movement which had considerable popular support, he was heard to say, “I could understand very well a Palestinian crisis but nat a Palestinian revolution. We had all the contradictions of the arab world right here-something had to give.”
The Palestinians are a people without a home-forcefully evicted from their homeland by a trumped-up proclamation which provided for the establishment of the Zionist state of Israel. Dispossessed Palestinian refugees occupy refugee camps in Israel and live in conditions of physical and moral deprivation in Jordan.
Even the rationale the times.
American interest in the mid-east had not only been confined to the immediate preservation of the Zionist state of Israel. The survival of Israel was immediately dependent upon the retention in power of the Hussein regime which was not only vital to U.S. peace-making initiatives but also provided tremendous tax concessions to foreign interests for the exploitation of jordanian resources. It was all neatly linked jtogether.

To this extent, the that israel exists only -founded on the tenet of Palestinians are not
poster.
Palestinian commandos believe as an artificially contrived state of Zionism; and that the enemies Jews but Zionists.
The highjackings themselves, were the work of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine-the most radical element of the Palestine liberation organization, which is a combination of various groups whose immediate goal is the liberation of their homeland. Following the highjackings, the central committee of the PLO condemned the actions of the PFLP as individual acts of terrorism which tended to detract from the real goal of the Palestinian liberation movement in general. The PLO asserted that such acts only served to make the masses spectators instead of alloting them the right to participate in armed struggle. It also stated that the highjackings had distracted the people’s attention from the real crisis in Jordan and that the most effective blows against imperialism could be affected in occupied Palestine, not in the skies over europe. However, the PFLP justified its actions on the grounds that the highjackings were meant to disrupt the middle-east peace talks as well as affecting the release of guerillas held in foreign captivity. The PFLP sought to register its discontent with the UAR’s acceptance of the peace talk proposals. But as much as the highjackings tended to attention from the real nature of the Palestinian gle, they were by no means the real cause of ( danian civil war. The Rogers peace talks and highjackings brought about the unstable climate in the middle-east.
distract strugthe jornot the political
Zionism has been effectively used in the middle-east to prevent arab unity. According to the prime-minister of Israel, Golda Meir, “an attack on the borders of Jordan must be interpreted as a direct attack on the borders of Israel. ” It is an established fact among political circles in tel aviv and Washington that a government headed by a potentially weak Hussein would be less of a threat to israel than would a socialist regime, representative of the real interests of not only Palestinians but the people of the middle east. But the Palestinians do not express such a lack of confidence in the jewish people, as they do with zionist leaders. They do not consider the replacement of a racist state, backed by foreign imperialism, with a democratic and socialist-oriented state where Moslems, Jews, and Christians can co-exist in peace as a vivid pipe-dream. It is common knowledge in this day and age that a popular struggle which has as its goal, the right to self-determination, cannot be suppressed. For a people which is struggling for self-determination cannot oppress another people. Even the israeli defense minister, -Moshe Dayan, does not consider the viability of a united socialist state in the middle-east as inconceivable. “Arabs don’t hate jews along racist lines. They consider us foreign invaders from the west. Why shouldn’t they hate us? As long as we must enforce our wishes against the arab people, we shall exist in a permanent state of war.” Thus spoke Zarathustra.
Furthermore, prior to the actual outbreak of civil war in the kingdom of Jordan, the military forces of king Hussein had consistently waged co-ordinated attacks against Palestinian guerilla strongholds in Jordan.

ment of labor, the CLC and last but not least big business, don’t we? I mean they’re not really trying to con the working people of this area into believing that they really have nothing to bitch about, are they? But don’t mention the proposed Ontario labor legislation which if implemented would require the percentage of union certification to be sixty percent. But from the practical “business” point of view, what could be cheaper ? Every participant except the working man benefits from such a bountiful display of the luscious fruits of capitalism. The various government agencies saturate one’s mind with such blurbs “keep Canadians working” ; (yeah, right on Pierre! ) while at the same time gain much needed public sympathy and attention regarding the fact that they are doing their damndest to fight the mythical dragon of inflation. At the same time, our boys in the nation’s capital manage to strike all but a discordant note in the hearts of all right thinking people with such unscrupulous observations as: “ah it’s good to see the big boys getting along for a change.” The CLC itself manages to get a considerable amount of favorable publicity regarding its intentions and purposes; supposedly to serve the needs and interests of the workers. Much to our amazement, it asserts that its relations with the private sector of the economy are quite favorable, (apparently disregarding the inherent animosity between organized labor and the institutionalized vestiges of capitalism. ) This type of union-management extravaganza has had considerable success in the US. Our own home grown capitalists, not being ones to fall far behind in the beneficial aspects of good business procedures, seem to know a good thing (money-maker) when they see one.
What happens when big business, the Canadian labor congress, and the federal department of labor get their heads together for the purpose of telling the public where it’s really at? Why, of course they come up with something as nebulous and boring as the recent union-industry show; which for the interested reader is about as clear an indication as any of a concerted effort to undermine or virtually negate the rights of the working-man in this fair nation of ours. If the recent union-industry display is any indication of a growing trend in union-management relations in this country, it would appear as if not only federal and provincial departments of labor but also the various echelons of the big union heirarchy are in collusion with big business in an attempt to sublimate the worker as effectively as possible. The union-industrial display is an annual exhibition, sponsored by the union trades label department of the CLC in an attempt to “promote union label services and products. ’ ’ Theoretically, at least, big business takes the time to exhibit the products produced by their union workers. Union workers take the time to display the crafts and skills of their respective trades, while various government agencies make it their duty to explain to the public (much of the audience attending the show were members of various local unions affiliated in some way, shape, or form with the CLC) with their purpose. According to the CLC blurb, the intent of the show was “to promote the products and services of employers which are the handiwork of CLC union memhers”-assuming of course that one considers “labor” a variable commodity. The exhibitors are supposedly employers invited by various unions, (should read “by the CLC heirarchy”. ) But we all realize the good intentions of the federal depart-,
are our friends”
For Sale: Just in case there were any lingering doubts in your mind about the availability of Canadian workers, tht: federal department of la’bouu in co-operation wit&the Canadian congress oj’ labour would be only so glad to provide any amount of labour, skilled or unskilled, at very reasonable prices. Big business money-moguls, eager to cash in on a potential money making venture, have repeatedly stated that they have no other way of reaching so many people at such little cost. Obviously they know a good deal when they see one. \ The Canadian labor congress, as member of our neat little triumvirate of power-hungry con artists is in the running for “the worm of the year” award. Apparently, it has no guilt complex about making friends with its enemies, at the ultimate expense of those whom it purports to represent in good faith. But the unmistakable pardox in this entire shit screen is the question of exactly who the federal department of labor and
ultimately the CLC really represent. But, I hear you ask, “How can one be so facetious when the CLC blurb itself asserts ‘that the reaction of union members to the show is one of pride and satisfaction and good-will’. ” Well . . . * And so everyone who attends the union-industry display at the K-W auditorium went away and content that it’s happy; really alright, we’re only bleeding -it’s just our injured chauvinistic pride. The phenomenon of the large representative union is itself slowly becoming an anachronism. It has consistently failed in its claim”to fame as one of the most dynamic forces of change-be it radical or moderate-in our society. Ultimately it has failed to effectively

Warriors

field
The invasion of Montreal could not overshadow the violent upset at McGill Stadium, last Saturday afternoon. The Warrior football team uncowed by the armed guards at the gates went onto the field and defeated last years 0-QAA champions the McGill Redmen by the score of 20-15. The feat was accomplished not by our sputtering offense but by the superb running of little Gord McLellan and the open field blocking of the punt return specialists. A combination of pool snaps from centre and a bad day by Lapensee kept us from adding more points via the field goal route and the nasty habit of fumbling something that our offense had lacked going into this game also stopped many good penetrations. McLellan opened the scoring with an 80 yard punt return and this held up until the final play of the first quarter when Aiken ran 16 yards to give McGill a 7-6 lead. This lead held until McGill was foolish enough to punt to McLellan who then ran 77 yards for a 13-7 half time lead. McGill started the second half like Madmen and terrorized the Warriors, and with only four minutes played Smith threw thirty-one yards to Suffield for their second major. The convert by Smith made the score McGill 14 Waterloo 13. Waterloo apparently showed their success at fumbling in this quarter but the always crack defense kept the Redmen off the scoreboard except for Jansen’s 51 yard single. Lapensee tried one of his four field goal attempts at the 9:43 mark and was credited with a single when Weidenhof t tacked the receiver of the wide attempt. McGill remained in the lead for another four minutes, when with less than two minutes to play the Warrior defense made the McGill team kick the ball. This was the end; for McLellan grabbed the ‘ball on his own twelve yard line and with a spectacular wind up on his own goal line went through the whole McGill team for the winning touchdown. The convert was missed and the final score read Waterloo 20 and McGill 15.
Rugby

The . warriors rugger team travelled to Toronto last weekend for a league game with their traditional rivals, the University of Toronto blues. It was a good rugby match and represented the Warriors’ first victory of the season. The final score of the game was Waterloo 12 and Toronto 9. Roy Leach put in a fine performance scoring all of the Warriors’ points. The blues opened the scoring with a fine penalty kick, giving Toronto a 3-O lead. Later in the half the wariors scored their first try, the ball was passed to Leach who went over for the try. The convert failed and the score was three apiece. The score remained a tie for the first half although there were some real fine scoring attempts by both teams. Toronto came on the field very strong in the second half and immediately scored a try. With shear determination the Warriors forced the Blues back into their zone, and scored two penalty kicks. This gave the Warriors a 9-6 lead over Toronto. With twenty minutes to go the Toronto team scored their last penalty kick. The winning drive saw John Bain move the ball up the field and set up Roy Leach
who moved over the toronto line for the try, making the final score Waterloo 12 and Toronto 9. The game was characterized by poor strums and line cuts, on the part of the Warriors. On the other hand the Blues worked exceptionally well and the ball was often kicked forward for a good gain. The forwards-began to improve during the second half and seemed to be winning more strums. This was certainly instrumental in winning the game as it gave the backs more opportunity to move the ball up the field to score the needed points. With the victory over Toronto last week the Warriors are favoured to win the game this saturday at McMaster. Although the Waterloo team was defeated in their first game in the season by McMaster the Warriors have improved a great deal since then and will certainly represent a challenging opponent for the Marauders.

TN
THE LAST WEEKS in Canada there has been a just concern over the happenings in Quebec. Too often in the rest of Canada we become aware of Quebec only when a crisis develops. Because we find that we have no understanding of Quebec and little knowledge about it, these crises always come as surprises and we find ourselves with only emotional reactions. This is not always condusive to y dealing withproblems’in a rational way. ’ This article is an attempt to beginthe process of putting things into some kind of framework, to help us see more clearly what has been happening in Quebec, and to help to build some of the channels of relationship which we consider so important in Canada. Often, figures, statements and news comment which might help clarify attitudes in Quebec are available only in french. Some of these are offered here in translation. One comment of this type from a very balanced man in Quebec, Claude Ryan, is included later in this issue and is strongly recommended to your attention (see page ). , It can also be useful to pause for a minute to look back at some preceeding events in an effort to throw light on current ones. One of the most frequently heard laments over the happenings of the last weeks is that Quebecers should resort &violence to make a point in a society which provides for democratic expression. The idea of our democratic process has certain very specific connotations for young men and women in Quebec, and this is the main concern of this article.
1
Connotatioris of democratic act Last spring, I attended parti quebecois rallies in Montreal out of curiosity and was struck by the spirit prevalent. There was a sense of joy-of what Rene Levesque was describing as the “awakening from the winter of Quebec. ” ’ There was a feeling of hope, of a belief in the possibility that here was a party which could speak out of t the experience of Quebec, a party which was new and growing, and not caught in the stagnation which the young, especially, associated with the older parties in Quebec. ‘Support for the PQ came largely from young people, often unable to vote themselves, who, nevertheless, . worked tirelessly for the party. The vitality and enthusiasm of hard-pressed workers around the party headquarters was warming. Their patience was the kind I associated with the best handling of our often unweildly public processes. . Leaving the rally and returning to the homes of my family where only english is spoken, I experienced vividly for the first time the sense of the “two solitudes” in Montreal. The reports of the rallies on CBC televis- ion in english made -me wonder if the announcers were talking about the same meetings which I had attended $1found it difficult to recognize in the “violent, thoughtless,- youthful supporters of Levesque” the people with whom I had talked earlier. There was about the english community, a lack of comprehension about what was happening in the “east end” of their city-which to them seems very distant. They were afraid of the parti quebecois and made little effort to understand it. Their primary feeling was that * it must be stopped ; abolished. _ All the e f f o r t s of Levesque to relate to the more -privileged community were in vain. Levesque himself attended -many rallies in areas where he knew. no one in the audience would offer him a single vote, but he felt-that they should have the opportunity to chooseand to be provided with the evidence of what was happening around them.
“Ideas and books .
not guns”
Miss Mariette Lessard, president of the PQ committee in Westmount, an area which houses prominent business men in Montreal, is quoted in a book on the election by Bernard Smith. Describing their honest attempts to include-these people through the election pro; cess, she says, “We went there with sincerity and sympathy-with ideas and books, not with-guns.” L.- The fear and even panic in the circles of the Montreal “anglais” and among the more well-to-do French Canadians of the province grew as the election came nearer. This feeling was not helped by the withdrawal of securities from the Royal Trust Company in downMontreal three days before the election and their
removal to Ontario for safekeeping, “pending the outcome of Wednesday’s election” (J. R. Seattle, vice-presi_ dent of Royal Trust). The Quebecois, who were trying to work through the democratic channels, firmly believe that this was done deliberately by the more powerful liberals, with support from outside Quebec, toI promote unrest and uneasiness in the province. On election evening, as returns began to come in, the parti quebecois were elated by the gains their party, only about a year old, had made. Their, satisfaction was short-lived, however, as certain patterns began to appear very obvious in the returns. c _ Robert MacKenzie, reporting from Montreal for the Toronto Star outlined the grievances -of many Quebecers and warned that “this election has left wounds which it will be difficult to heal.” Most of the english press outside LQuebec triumphantly acclaimed the victory of the idea of federalism over separatism. The Ottawa editor of the stab Anthony Westell, declared that a great victory had been achieved by the liberals and that “Now confederation has been saved.. It will be hard to raise a new sense of crisis over Quebet for some time to come.” His sense of complacency, so comfortable to the rest of Canada was not shared in Quebec. It .might be noted that despite our insistence on the validity of the democratic process, the Toronto Globe, on april 29, the day of the election, included an article by R. J. Doyle which said that “A great many Canadians do not wish to see partition. Whatever the vote today, they will not accept it as determining the course of events. ’ ’ People who had worked so hard for the parti quebecois and had believed in the power of established procedures, began to see the futility of their efforts.‘Levesque, who had tried to include non-f rench, and the powerful and wealthy, was defeated by them in his own riding. All the work done in the areas of Westmount had been for nothing. Bitterness began to build-and frustration. The_ drawing up of voters’ lists was remembered. They had been compiled at Easter, during a time when many students are away from their rooms and apartments. A total of 300,006 young people, potential PQ supporters, had been left off the list-that figure is from Robert MacKenzie’s article and is attributed tothe province’s returning officer, Francois Drouin.

f Pierre Vadeboncoeur
The new By Pierre Vadeboncoeur Pierre Vadeboncoeur is a lawyer who has worked for the confederation of national trade unions in Quebec for twenty years. During the 7 950’s, he was one of the founders and principal editors of the journal Cite Li bre along with Pierre Trudeau and Gerard Pelletier. He is the author of several important political essays, including La ligne du risque, L’authorite du peuple, and La premiere et la derniere heure. He is one of the main authors of two CNTU reports, A. society made for man (7966) and The second front (7968) which have defined the new political orientation of the trade union movement in Quebec. What folio ws is the translation of his speech at the foundation congress in august, 7970, of the Front d’action politique (FRAP), a coalition of trade union political action committees and local community organizations which is challenging the Drapeau regime in Montreal in the current civic elections.
‘t
WANT TO SHARE WITH you some of the reflections which -the action of FRAP brings to mind. First of all, I want to say that what is most important at this point in history is not that your efforts bring wage and salary workers to power in one fell swoop, but especially that the first stage of a long struggle has been undertaken in a real and systematic way. What is important is that there be a beginning, a decisive departure. It is very important that you have started to organize a mass movement well rooted in real conditions, and one which is well-structured, permanent, strong and long-term. The spokesmen of political mystification will no longer be the only ones to be heard in Montreal; the voice of reason, need and justice will now be heard also. Today is the beginning of an active democracy, in a city and country where democracy is starving to death.
1
Mystification For a long time now, democracy has been wearing its shirt inside out. The people of the western world, and especially in north america, have let democracy be organized by the elites: lawyers, notaries, doctors, businessmen, political professionals - all so-called representatives of the people. In this falsified democracy, the people are led around. The democracy we now have is not the result of the organization of the people and the activity of the people; it is the result of the organization of the bourgeoisie, which is not the same thing at all. The democracy we now have is not a vehicle in which the people itself travels and steers itself. It’s a sort of .train: the locomotive represents the bourgeoisie, the interests of money and the big manipulators. Everything else is pulled along behind, crammed full of people. That isn’t democracy. It’s anything but democracy, because not only are the people absent from the places where decisions are made-just take a look at the composition of the Montreal city council -but also because the people get coopted into parties manipulated from above by its enemies. A passive people organized by a tiny minority of little kings who serve the powers of finance and speculation ! What kind of democracy is that? It’s no democracy at all. I disagree with those who say that the democracy we have manages to work after all. It works? It’s not a question of de-
termining whether it works, whether it is possible after a 50-year delay, to get medical insurance. What has to be asked is whether this democracy all a system from which people are totally absent.
is not above the organized
It works, all right, but it works for the advantage of the small minority of monopolists who are the systematic spoilers of that collective life which could express the crying needs of the working people. Seven-and-a-half per cent of the work force is out of a job in the summer. Wide-scale demolition of low-cost housing, and their replacement by expensive high rise buildings. The shame of unequal schooling opportunities and facilities. The backwardness of the public transit s ys tern. Urban pollution at the limit, and nothing is done about it. The indirect taxation on patrons bf the public transit system in the form of high fares.
What is being problems at city national triumphs a kine of childish, ial glory which goal of Drapeau’s motivation for his
done about all these hall? Grandiose interare being prepared, for artificial and superficseems to be the only ambition and the only superfluous career.
Persecution I don’t want to talk about petty things. I will refer very briefly to persecution. I have to say something about this quite dirty story of police persecution of poor people, and the illegal and particularly shameful way the municipal authorities have harrassed citizens who are organizing within the law to win power for local community organizations. Arbitrary arrests, little sessions of physical and moral violence in police stations, abusive raids and continual harassment-when these things go as far as raids and violence in community health clinics, you have to ask whether, without even thinking of all the other things, this regime shouldn’t be fought by all who have any respect for the human person and a concern for the future of democracy. A dictator’s psychology prevails in Montreal, the same psychology which prevailed in Duplessis’ time. There is an obvious anti-democratic tendency which does not only doesn’t want to brook any opposition, but which even seeks to prevent any opposition developing and being heard in Montreal. For the last few years, quite the opposite kind of movement has begun to
develop. I want to outline the essential ideas which are at the heart of a great new beginning of democracy. FRAP is the living witness of the value of these ideas. These are not complicated ideas. In fact, they are quite simple. Working people henceforth can have confidence only in themselves. They are organizing themselves. They are building their own economic power by cooperatives and their own political power by community organizations and political action committees in local neighborhoods. They are asserting themselves. Through activity, working people learn by themselves what they need to know to carry on their struggles. With the technical help of other people’s organizations, such as unions, or of politicized individuals such as social animators, they begin to understand little by little the causes of their problems. They contest. They demonstrate. They demand. They develop various instruments to meet their needs in struggle : newspapers ; study groups. And they begin to forge for themselves political action tools: political action committees are an example.
Princes
instead
This new people’s power has to be built slowly and patiently. Most politicians have no way of understanding what is happening, because they are accustomed to coming from above to receive mandates from their voters, and then to go on doing just what they want. Official democracy, the democracy of the ruling politicians, elects sorts of princes in the name of a democracy that was betrayed long ago. That’s not democracy. Democracy is essentially the people solidly organized, the people organized by themselves for themselves, which elects its own delegates not to *govern’ them, but to carry out what all the people have decided.
The old democracy has reached such a degree of corruption and insensitivity, it has deceived the hopes of the people so thoroughly, it has hypocritically served so many exploiters, it has allied itself so completely with financial powers, that today we have to take on the task of totally pletely
rebuilding democracy, on a comnew basis, and with other goals.
FRAP is taking the right approach. For the last three or four years, the unText of letter from Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau to Prime Minister Trudeau: Montreal,
October
15, 1970

.
ions have been extending their hand to different movements among the people which have started to develop, especially in Montreal. They are thus trying to open a second front in the struggle or organized working people, the political front. It is undemocratic not to support the initiatives of the people who are reconstituting democracy on a real basis, in the face of the tremendous political mystification of the old democracy. You are taking the right approach to such an extent that the powers of money and Drapeau’s party will fight you mercilessly. You can expect anything. Doubtlessly some demagogues will try to use against you the type of accusation that Saulnier used against the CYC. These very serious charges, extraordinarily enough, were never brought to court. The importance of FRAP’s interven-‘ tion in the Montreal elections is obvious to all . . . What is at stake is a collective struggle. Convergent forces have to be brought together to deliver a decisive blow to the Drapeau administration and to bring a collective case against it that it will never recover from. The time is ripe. The stakes are important. The very meaning of democracy, its methods and goals, are in question.
Democracy
at stake
The future of democracy is at stake, symbolically and really, at this stage and in those to follow. The fate and welfare of several hundreds of thousands of citizens are involved. The whole question of the smothering domination of the power of money in political life has been raised. The systematic denial of real social policies by the servants of the dominant class is the issue. Are we going to seize the time really and concretely, with a view to sweeping away all the evils we have been talking about so long? I am convinced that progressive forces are going to unite around FRAP. If I seem to be insisting a great deal on this point, it is because I want those people who are still unaware to realize that this new democracy that is being born cannot lose. any opportunity to struggle against the profoundly anti-democratic forces who have manipulated politics for their own ends too long. seditious plot and the apprehended insurrection of which the recent kidnappings marked the beginning. We communicate to you urgently this report which describes the extent of the danger and the urgency of reinforcing the mechanisms for combatting it. We request, Mr. Prime Minister, all the assistance the government of Canada judges useful and desirable to accomplish the task of protecting society and the life of citizens in these difficult hours.

9 Another observation which links into all the anger -over the election is a growing conviction that the media of communication in Quebec are owned by people who are from outside the province, and who are generally unsympathetic to the situation of Quebec generally. It is believed these people allowed the process of fear in the province before the election to be generated and sustained. On the surface, this may seem like mere petulance. However, a list (published by Quebec Presse ) of the media owned by one controlling group, the Power Corporation is extensive, and the phrase “Power-Telemedia” has come into being:

These kinds of realizations in the last few months have done very little to encourage belief in the type of democratic process which Levesque has tried so hard to make viable to the growing restlessness of the people of Quebec. It becomes very difficult for them to believe in the involvement of what they see as the privileged part of Quebec society, and, by extension, the rest of the people of Canada in their struggle for a just society in Quebec. My own question then becomes, “Is there no other alternative for these people so thoroughly disenchanted with the workings of the present political channels in Quebec than recourse to tactics like the ones we have seen in the last weeks?” My own hope in the situation lies in the work of groups of people in Quebec who are developing what (The article on they have called “a new democracy” the facing page describes some of their work). They are making attempts at construction of new forms of society, working very closely in particular situations, to ameliorate specific conditions. Hopefully, the rest of their society, in Quebec and outside, will not also close off that avenue.

Yes, the tactics are pretty consistent. I haven’t really thought about Quebec separatism ; I just don’t like kidnapping and I don’t think the means justify their ends. \ ’
It is a good publicity move as far as international news goes. I don’t know a lot of things leading up to it; maybe they are justified and maybe they are not. Did they really kill the guy?
I don’t condone their tactics. The FLQhas gone too far; to gangsterism as Trudeau says. No matter how good your causes, these actions can’t be justified.

The tactics are ai good move; it will probably get them ahead in the end because the federal government will bring in troops and the Quebec people may get put off even though it may be just. It could be a tactic to get people more aware of the issue-and to get them upset about the role of the federal government. If you look at politics, people in general are not against being in the federal system but if you have martial law or Bourassa government or the federal government is shown as tyrannical, the people may vote against them in the next election.

I regret we have gone to war with the FLQ instead of treating them like criminals. Their tactics are misguided, even politically, be cause it will anhgonize too many people, setting back the cause of Quebec liberation many years. I feel a group of people who make up a fair minority should have their own govern ment, that they can enjoy self-determination. At the same time, as a Canadian, I would regret separation because it would mean the end of Canada; so I’m of divided mind. Bill O’Connell arts 2
I have one opinion: shoot the prisoners, get some more and shoot them too. Keep doing it until they realize you are not playing games ; the government again is doing the same civil service thing they usually do, pay a lot of people to sit around and talk about it. They don’t think; how can a ‘person sitting in an office nine to five every day want to com‘e out and try-to think to intellectuals. The FLQ are not stupid; they are thinking people to make a move like this. It is not, let us say, the peasantry or the working class that is doing something like this ; they are not animals to be swayed; they know what they are dbing; it Ls well planned. It is not for quebec liberation they are doing this; they are freeing their friends, so called political prisoners that Trudeau calls villains.

Quebec has theright to separate if the people want, but not a small faction. The parti quebecois may achieve power in Quebec if they can convince people their program is good enough. Leveque is denying any part of them; refers to them as lice. FLQ members, I think, are not entirely sane because they are not willing to follow rational processes that will gain them this end. To a certain extent, they’re afraid the people of Quebec will turn their policies down; that is the only time you have to resort to terrorism, when you know you can’t win through logic and argument, and I think that is what they have decided, that they can’t win. I don’t think Rene Leveque feels that way.

I disapprove heartily of the FLQ tactics; the consequences of these tactics will be to isolate the rest of the Quebecers from them and will result in a tremendous loss of support from the other separatists and sympathizers of the movement.

He speaks of false pride in the Afro- American : the teeth and bone necklaces and the natural hair, and he suggests the negroes limit their crusade to slogans like Pucker-Power to amuse the WASP tailbone and overcome white sensitivity to nigger lips. But he does not use the word nigger-lips in print. To a blind cotton picker, noneschatalogical in braille probably feels like nigger lips.. . . . . Not that I question the intelligence of the average spade cotton picker but there’s an N and an L and a E and E’s feel like P’s in small case like gp...and this g feels like peeing on it too, ‘cause W. Braden spells god with a big G and I only use a small one.

Self-taught on a guitar they found in the jungle, the indian brothers from their Tabajaras tribe in a remote and primitive area of Brazil, went on to make their first RCA Victor best seller, Maria elena. More best-selling albums followed, and Los Indios Tabajaras have become the most popuiar and sought after guitar team on today’s musical scene.
Captivating the public with everything from primitive tribal music, latin american favourites, and popular songs, to the familiar and beloved classics by composers like Chopin, Albeniz and Tchaikovsky, Los indios tabajaras cast their own personal spell with breath-taking virtuosity, radiant tone, and incomparable artistry. The experience is unforgettable.

THEVIRGIN
AND
THE
GYPSY
The virgin and the gypsy has received glowing praise from such disparate critics as the ‘ascerbic’ Judith Christ and the more ‘mild’ Jim Clements, of local notice. That it has elicited favourable response from such diverse sources is perhaps ample testimony to the skill and creative ability combined in this thoroughly tintertaining film. Set in the north of England in the early twentieth century, the film is a sensitive study of human sexuality and its containment in a variety of cultural forms. The story revolves around the plight of a young English girl who, after a stint at school in the city, is unwilling to confine herself to the moral anaemia of conservative, rural life. The resolution develops out of the encounter between an awakening sexuality and an antiquated morality, at once pathetic and self-righteous, which tries to control it. \ The acting is superb. Joanna Shimkus, a Canadian actress, delicately portrays the virgin, skillfully capturing the mannerisms of youthful desire and of innocence regained at great expense. Franc0 Nero, as the gypsy, is the almost silent representative of a sensuality unfettered by cultural chains. As such he relies almost entirely in the art of gesture and expression, actor and cameraman coalescing to convey the force of the role. The movie incorporates what is essentially a novelist’s device, characterizing complex situations and triggering emotional responses by the effective use of simple words and phrases. The dialogue is ,expressive yet brief, and manages to stay clear of monotonous digression. The film exhibits a mastery of the tragi-comic situation, utilizing the family setting time and again for scenes which would be uproariously funny if we weren’t drawn into them so intimately.

The supporting roles are also magnificently handled. An hypocritical minister,, a timid sister, a bigoted, Victorian grandmother, and a shrewish aunt make up the family complement against which an awakened,, youthful passion must mature. This setting makes for an incisive look at subjectivity tormented by a bankrupt, yet powerfully antagonistic morality.

T,he film is an artistic achievement of the highest order. For those with a penchant for social commentary, it contains a surfeit.

Vegetables

PUTTING
by Sharon and Myles chevron staff
White
Sauce
Vegetables are often thought of as nothing more than a nutritional necessity. This summer, we rediscovered fresh vegetables and now enjoy them so much that we plan meals around vegetables rather than meat. Our interest in fresh vegetables was prompted largely by frequent visits to the Kitchener farmers’ market. The market is located off Frederick Street, behind Kitchener city hall. If you have never been there (or even if you have) visit it on a Saturday morning soon and sample some of the interesting varieties of vegetables now in season. Meals based mainly on vegetables are cheaper than ones centering around meat, and are usually easier to prepare. Although meats (especially the cheaper cuts) result well after long and involved preparations, vegetables seem better the more simply they are served. A hunk of butter and perhaps a squeeze of lemon are the best dressing for most any fresh vegetable. The western growers association publish a free booklet which is very helpful when you are buying and cooking any vegetables. In addition to providing some basic recipes, the booklet lists about 60 commonly available vegetables and for each one outlines the season, selection, quantity for one serving, method and length of storage, nutrients, number of calories and basic methods of preparation. We have lost the address of the association, but will try to include it in next week’s column. If you want to try new vegetables or just be sure of the preparation of familiar vegetables, the booklet is well worth having.
Simple variations on cauliflower, and broccoli can be achieved by serving them with a white sauce. This sauce adds a lot to the vegetables but it does not obscure their flavor. In a saucepan blend 1 (for a thin sauce ) to 1 l/z (for a medium sauce) tablespoons each of melted butter and flour until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup milk, stirring well to prevent lumps from forming and cook over low heat or in top of double boiler until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, and pour over plate of cooked vegetables.

Squash Hubbard, acorn or pepper, butternut and banana squash, which can now be found in almost every grocery store, are most enjoyable when baked with lots of butter. Halve the squash and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Put one or two (the more the better) tablespoons of both maragarine-and butter in each half and bake basting frequently in a 400 oven until tender (about 40 minutes, but varying considerably with the freshness of the squash - sometimes about 1% hours). Squash are one of the most delicious of all vegetables.

Parsnips These sweet vegetables are peeled and cooked in much the same way as carrots, but with the cores removed. They are tender in about 15 minutes, but cooking time time varies considerably with freshness. Serve with butter.
Turnips With
Butter
Some of the best vegetables require nothing more than to be boiled in a small amount of salted water, drained and well buttered. All of these should be well rinsed in cold water and trimmed of the stems and discolored parts before cooking. After cooking, drain, season with salt and pepper, and top with a large hunk of butter (margarine won’t give the same flavour).
_
brussles .
sprouts
Make an “x” in each end so it will cook as quickly as the head. Cook, uncovered, in small amount of boiling salted water for about 10 minutes.
Peel, dice and cook, covered, in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes. If you like turnips you will probably like them more if you mash them and add a tablespoon or two each of brown sugar and butter and if you don’t like them, this will make them quite palatable.
Carrots Try partially cooking peeled and sliced carrots in a small amount of boiling salted water until just tender then finish the cooking (for about 10 to 20 minutes) in equal amounts of butter and honey (or brown sugar) seasoned well with ginger.
Cheese broccoli Make slashes in stems ered, in small amount 10 to 15 minutes.
up to flowerets. Cook, covof boiling salted water for
cauliflower Separate flowerets. Cook, covered, in small amount of boiling salted water for 8 to 10 minutes.
beets Cook whole, covered with boiling salted water, in covered pot for about 40 minutes. Older beets will take much longer. Rub off skins after cooling. Serve whole, sliced, diced with lemon juice or vinegar as well as butter.
cabbage Cut into wedges. Cook, covered, in small amount of boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes. Red cabbage should be cooked uncovered, with 2 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar added to the water to retain color, for about 25 minutes.
greens Beet greens, turnip tops Swiss chard, and spinach should all be cooked in only the water that clings to the leaves after rinsing them. The steam will wilt and tenderize the leaves after IO to 25 minutes, depending on the variety. Use lots of greens; they reduce considerably.
All of these vegetables should be watched closely to prevent overtiooking. Any one of them overcooked, is only a wilted, soggy mush. They are ready when a fork pierces the centers of them easily. (Beets and brussels sprouts are more firm than the other vegetables. )
Soybeans-butter Soy _butter is made from finely _ -_ grot u-id beans or toasted soy ’ flour and soy oil. The oil is beate n into the flour and the result is aL light gold butter that can be used in the sam e way as peanut butter. Some pref er to sweeten it with a small amo bunt of honey. Soy butte :r has the food value of the soy flour plus the added oil.
Sauce
Onions which have been peeled, halved, and cooked until tender (lo-15 minutes for small ones, 30-40 for larger ones) covered with boiling salted water, are especially good when served with a creamy cheese sauce. To make one, just add about l/z cup grated cheddar cheese to the white sauce (see above) when, it is thickened and stir until smooth, or heat a can of condensed cheddar cheese soup (undiluted) over a lower burner. The sauce also compliments broccoli or cauliflower. .
Mushrooms
and Tomatoes
on Toast
These are good as a meal, snack, breakfast, or anything else. Tomatoes are out of season, but you can still get them at the grocery store (although you have to pay moreior you can used drained canned ones. Good mushrooms are available at the farmers’ market for 69 cents a pound (they sell for 79 cents in grocery stores). 3 tbsp olive (or other) oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1 pound small mushrooms, 3 ripe tomatoes, chopped 1 tbsp chopped parsley

asked called
for justice, it anarchy
“We asked to be heard. You refused. We asked for justice, you called it anarchy. We asked for freedom, you called it license. Rather than do something about the fear and despair, you created, you called it communism. You accused us of not using legal channels. But you have closed these channels. You, not we, have built a university founded on suspicion and dishonesty.” Those are the words of a student dissenter from Berkeley. Stop and think just how true those words are, even here at Uniwat. How can anything be accomplished when neither side can trust the other? We must surmount this barrier to prevent destruction. chemistry In the applied course of the science faculty first year students were forced to suffer the teaching of a certain math professor. Not only that, but were forced to use his text which was of no value whatsoever. In the 2a term a beef session was held and we were assured by the assistant dean of science Dr. Woolford that this professor would not be teaching first year students that course and that his text would not be used. The next year, this professor was not teaching the course although his book was still being used in a less rigorous manner than previously. However, I see that this year this professor is back in the first year course and his text is being used in its previous religious style. Now, who is to blame? Sure we were allowed to air our grievances but we might as well have saved our breath. The only reason that the professor missed the year was because he went to u of T. on a sabbatical. What good does complaining do? If the faculty and administration can not be truthful at this level, then what is it like higher up? I would hate to guess. Granted the problem arises ~between two separate faculties which seem unable to co-operate. But, surely the science faculty has some voice in the instruction of their classes. If not, then use a science faculty member who is qualified to teach the disputed subject as is done in engineering. Maybe we should try for a little more cooperation between faculty administrators before the administration decides they’re ready to listen- to students. Who knows, maybe there is too much conflict between the big boys to make our case of any value. I hope they straighten up soon. JAMES R MACDONALD science
Not interested in personal notorioty
If obvious and logical conclusions can be called propaganda then John Medley is correct, the first and last paragraphs of my letter to feedback in the Oct. 9 issue of the chevron were simple propaganda devices. As to his statement that “the male student has no advantage over the female student in the area of organizational experience’ ’ , is that a fact! In any

case the word “student” should be removed from his statement. The Womens’ Lib. groups are comprised of working women and homemakers as well as women students and these women have not been given an equal opportunity with men to gain organizational experience. Mr. Medley, Mr. McCormick, and their friends will quite probably’ continue to send slanted letters to this column in an effort to gain some personal publicity. It’s a great way to become well known on campus! I prefer to use my time in the future working for a well organized, democratic Womens’ Lib. Movement. That’s much more important to me and to every woman in our Womens’ Lib. group then the opportunity to help, McCormick and company became well known. CAROL COURTNEY, staff Arts has
society president some strange ideas
Last spring an election was held for the arts society executive - very few people noticed and the rest didn’t give a damn. So, three of the four executive positions were acclaimed and the fourth elected. As usual, it was announced in the chevron that the posts had been filled, again there was no stir (who cares about the arts sot. anyway? ). Now in the fall when the money is to be divided the president of the society, Allister MacFee, acts. His ac- . tions seem to say: ‘why should I have to contend with the other executives; since I am the president I can dispence with them and appoint my own. So out of this stir, we have in the arts sot, two vice- presidents, two secretaries, and two treasurers. So, when confronted with an executive, which he knew existed, MacFee decides that the existing executive is not valid (for some weird and wonderful idea, could it be money, no, money is never the cause) and that he must appoint his own executive (a few persons who by some coincidence are his close and dear friends. ) He refuses to recognize the duely elected executives. Maybe all of this is irrelevant and unimportant to the vast majority of the students, but, it cannot go unheard. When some twit gets into an elected position where he thinks he can become God, appoint his own friends, ignore the constitution tution, budget himself $1,000 for which he was to answer to know one, then, an asshole like this should either be kicked out of the position which he is misusing or “suffer the wrath of the people”. (All “wrathful people see. their respective Society Presidents and confront him with your views. It’s your money this clown is going to be playing with. ) - BRIAN LIGHT history society

feedback Chains, Parking
corra/s, problems
confusion evident
For several ,years I have considered that the parking facilities have been inadequate and ’ inefficiently organized. As a result of pp&p’s latest manouver, it is quite obvious that these adverbs are appropriate. A shining new four foot chain link fence has been firmly and ‘permanently’ installed parallel to university avenue between lots C and A and university avenue. This fence is roughly the same height as the berm and thus is not noticeable from the main road. I suppose that the fence was established to prevent pedestrians from walking over the berm and across university avenue. Surely students are mature enough to cross a road safely, so the fence can hardly be deemed a necessity. It is in reality, more of a hindrance as the pp&p themselves will discover. It is so close to the curb of the parking lot, that the snow removers and gardeners will be seriously impeded, as will the us&s of these lots. Cars will be even more .concentrated by the stoplights. I’d like to suggest that an exit from university avenue, ne bound to lot C be proposed as well as a oneway counter-clockwise circuit within and around Lot C. Similarily, Lot H should have a clockwise one-way circuit with an exit on to university avenue ne bound: Another absurd pp&p “attempted improvement” also involves a fence. Aesthetically a cattle corral in the middle of our modern campus seems very out of place indeed. Again it impedes lawn cutting and to some degree snow plowing, and of course, pedestrians. The entrance to this requires an attendant so, of course, this lot is closed during the evening and night, and woe to the driver who gets locked in. I suggest that vital parking lots (such as B, BI, D and H) should have automatic entrance and exits gates which would operate by the insertion of a plastic card with positioned holes to apply for each parking lot or service road (e.g. by the Isaiah Bowman bldg, eng II heavy lab, or the bus loop.) Visitors with a five dollar deposit could obtain a card for a specific lot for a certain period of hours or days. Thus vehicles could not be parked in the wrong lot and no gate attenden’ts would be needed except at the entrance kiosks. When are the pp&p and security dept going to stop their absurd actions and act in a practical, efficient manner. GLEN South list

Some ‘Kon Tiki’ canned fruit is South African, though some of it is Malayan and Japanese. Basically, you don’t need a detailed list to be able to boycott South African goods. The LCBO lists its wines by country of orgin, canned goods are similarly identified, and most supermarkets label their fresh produce. You’ve just got to read a little. And that way you don’t end up shafting the innocents as well. KEVIN PRICE grad math Nasser perhaps
the peacemaker contfudictofy?
Ramzi’ Twal, in his eulogy of Nasser, leaves himself open to charges of having a subjective bias when he presents Nasser as a man of peace. He may have been many things to many people but it would be stretching a point to accredit to Nasser a dovelike disposition. Nasser the pupeteer played the coup game in Iraq, Yemen and Syria. Imperialism? Nasser and his united Arab world equals Nasser at the head of an Egyptian empire that never quite came into being. Expansionism and opportunism are not exclusivly Zionist after all. Whatever right Israel had or did not have to the establishment of their state, the closing of the straits of Tiran could hardly have .been designed to cement peaceful relations between Egypt and Israel, and I doubt that Nasser would have risked the fate of Egypt solely for the Palestian refugees who considered liberation their own problem.

Act
Regarding the pink ditto circulated on the campus Monday, October 19, 1970, advocating a demonstration against the War Measures Act, I believe that there are some statements contained in the circular which require clarification or refutation. The circular states that the War Measures Act was invoked “to crush the Quebec independence movement.” If this were the case, why have not Mr. Levesque and his Parti Quebecois come under attack? They are still a legal party that enjoys the democratic freedoms that we all do. The circular states that the W.M.A. was invoked” to crush
. . . the broad popular base in- eluding the Quebec workers (for Quebec’s independence).” There is, in reality, no indication of broad popular support. That minority that does advocate independence for Quebec, support the Parti Quebecois, a non-violent political group that will attempt to secede from Canada legally and only with the measured support of the majority of Quebecers (i.e. votes in an election). “It is the people which the government fears . . .” This statement is totally inaccurate and typical of thqse who would support the atrocities committed by the F.L.Q. The government is not afraid that the people are against the government, Quite the contrary ! The government fears a violent reaction in the name of the government and Canada, by the people against all dissenters. They are trying to avoid the potential destructive manifestation of the anger that Canadians have collectively for the F.L.Q. “We urge all groups and ‘individuals who support democracy (to demonstrate against the W.M.A).” . This statement presumptuously infers that if someone supports democracy he will be against the government’s invoking of the W.M.A. in these tragic circumstances. The author’s appeal should have read ; “we urge all groups and individuals who support terrorism, murder, extortion, and the intimidation of the Canadian people by a group of selfappointed pseudo-saviours (to demonstrate against the W.M.A.)” The exclamation, “Release the political prisoners!” is also in need of clarification. The term .‘ ‘political prisoners’ ’ is flattering and incorrect. Those 23 individuals whom the F.L.Q. want released are criminals convicted of felonies ranging from arson to terrorism and theft. In wartime an enemy country would seek to destroy us by means of violence, terrorism and sedition. In parallel, this vile collection of misfits (the F.L.Q.) try to destroy Canada and its people by the same means. The War Measures Act is necessary, therefore, because this is a war against the F.L.Q. Thus we cannot allow these people to hide behind the freedoms and rights that we all enjoy in order that they may be able to organize and attempt the destructiori of the democracy that give us all these liberties. It is of the utmost importance that we support our government at this crucial time. Canada must, can and will survive ! D.B. WRIGHT arts 2 Read ran.

Miss Julien refusand once shouted, “Vivre Quebe ed to‘ sing in front of the queen in Charlottetown Libre”-in a crowd that included state secretary Robert Peltier. RCMP: Okay, Chick. . . why’d ypu do it? Julien: Do -what? ‘ .RCMP: Shout “Vivre Quebec Libre.” 3 Julien: Because I felt like it. , as a- means of overthrowing the RCMP: Are you in favour of an armed inserection government of the day? Julien: I once said I was so hungry I could eat a horse.. RCMP: Would you ever eat a horse? Julien: If I ever got that hungry. RCMP: She’s guilty as Lusifer. Julien: Of what? RCMP: Of intent. Julien: Intent to what?, RCMP: Intent to bend to action in the face of frustration. Julien: That’s a crime? RCMP: In this country, yes. We only ask one thing of you in return for your freedom. Julien: What’s that? RCMP:‘Like us! We take you now up the river and around the bend . . . to Ottawa, where prime minister Trudeau is presenting his view to the first annual Milk toast Luncheon of the liquor control board of Ontario. PET: It is infortunate the government of Canada had to go to such -lengths in the case of the FLQ. It is unfortunate that a few irrational persons gain such publicity. As you. may have heard from other, more reasonable protest groups, there are some in the province (at over- 10%) is the highest in problems in Quebec. Unemployment Canada, yes. There is a distinct problem with overt american investment, yes. But measures are beingtaken to alleviate this problem. For instance, in the matter of unemployment, premier Bourassa is attempting ‘to get more capital to invest in Quebec, and his trade missions have been more than successful, in the case of sorties into the United States particularly. And as for the matter of too much american investment and control in the province, I I can only point to Ottawa’s continued efforts to talk to Washington nicely and in an air of convivality.- Mr. Green has been a mountain of strength in this regard, and as you are all well aware, this government still refuses to issue a stand on the sale of water to the U.S. That, gentlemen, is our trump card. As you can see, we are not being inactive on this matter. I call upon the press of this country to p!ay down the activities of the F-LO. The CBC has been severely slapped on the wrist for broadcasting, with our authoiization, the FLQ manifesto. We must stapd firm. And in regards to the five FL0 terrorists we offered the FLQ in return for Cross and Laporte, let me assure you that that situation is under control.- You see, we’re thinking ahead. If the FLQ accepts our offer, we will most certainly release the five men, follow them to find the others and arrest them all - under the provisions of the state of war proceedings. They’ll never _ know what hit em. Ladies and gentlemen . . . we admit it . . . there are problems in Quebec. But the way have dedicated to \solutiion is not through violent means.

And when there came unemployment, there came a war on poverty and those without were given the bread of the land so that they might live and then be But now there has come violence which is persecuted for their lack of employment. neither natural nor economic in its nature (according to the book of .Robert’s Rules), and an end must come of it. in VietFor low . . . though it is right that we should spear the mad imrurrectronists nam; Quebec is too close to home.

ESTERDAY IN OTTAWA, parliament approved by a vote of 190-17 a resolution supporting the federal government’s decision to invoke the war measures act. This vote is not surprising. It relects quite well the state of terror andzpanic which has swept up Canadian opinion on the day following Mr. Laporte’s death. It might normally have been expected that the assassination of Mr. LaPorte would raise reservations about the intransigent policy adopted by the federal and quebec governments regarding the kidnappers’ demands. Quite the opposite reaction has prevailed. Since sunday, thousands of citizens have concluded, rather paradoxically, that recent events have proved the correctness of the Canadian government’s position. The number of those who questioned the wisdom of the government last friday and Saturday has diminished since the weekend. At first sight, then, the government is operating with the very solid support of public opinion. But one doesn’t have to dig very deeply to see that things are far from being that simple. As proof of this, I would like to call attention to certain indications of the last few days. The first indications came from an opinion survey carried out for several Canadian newspapers, including Le Devoir, by a survey research firm in Montreal. The opinion survey was done last thursday and friday in Montreal, falling precisely between the two radically distinct phases of the whole drama-the day before and the day after the proclamation of the war measures act. It was also two days before the discovery of Mr. Laporte’s body. The results are naturally less relevant to the new situation that has followed. The researchers have nonethless made some observations that have a certain value. These observations reveal the complexity and the extreme mobility of public opinion. The first observation is that of the 277 persons surveyed, 109, or more than 35 percent, refused to answer. These refusals are doubtlessly attributable to a certain extent to a mistrust that has nothing to do with hesitation. At first sight, however, they also express a significant degree of hesitation. Second revealing aspect: of the political leaders who had spoken on the events at the time of the survey, two were particularly important: that of the minister of justice, Mr. Choquette and that of Mr. Bourassa. Mr. Choquette had’made a declaration October 10 which was generally in-’ terpreted as reflecting a hard line. Mr. Bourassa’s declaration the next day was generally understood, ‘until last thursday, as indicating a more conciliatory line. Of the two men, Mr. Bourassa received the most support by a margin of 50 to 1. Mr. Trudeau is mentioned by just 22 percent of the respondents. It should be noted, however, that he had not made his televised speech at the time of the survey. Even if we assume that Mr. Trudeau’s speech would have gained him as much support as that given Mr. Bourassa a: few days earlier, this fact would point to how easily public opinion can be changed from one state to another. Third indication: the position of respondents on the liberation of political prisoners. Straight forward liberation is opposed quite strongly (52 percent against; 33 percent for). But in the case of the transportation of prisoners to Cuba or Algeria, there is a majority favourable-@6 percent for; 39 percent against). With the changed situation today, public opinion has evolved a great deal in the last three days. But it would be wrong not to keep in mind the extreme diversity of views that this public opinion survey relects. This diversity is perhaps more indicative of the deep tendencies of public opinion that the temporary monolithic opinion created .by the shockon Saturday. If such is the case, it should be-said to the governments and to. citizens. This fact will help us understand the crisis better, and to define with more moderation the policies needed to resolve it.- Other indications come from the numerous responses to the two dec-

This is an editorial by Claude Ryan-a federalist, and co-chairman of the recently-formed committee for. an independent Canada-translated from Montreal’s Le Devoir, October 20.
larations made by a group of quebec social leaders calling for a moderate line. (Mr. Ryan refers to the statement made Wednesday, October 14 by union leaders, the parti quebecois, and several prominent quebec citizens including Mr. Ryan himself. The essential point of the statement was that the quebec government should resist the federal government’s hard line and negotiate the exchange of the two hostages for the 23 prisoners designated by the FLQ. The same group of leaders re-affirmed this position after Mr. Laporte’s death.) First, letters and calls from the anglophone side. In majority, they are unfavourable. A major theme was: “We trusted you, but now that’s all finished.” But to complete this picture, I add that there were responses from anglophones. They allow me to observe, once again, that in these questions, the dividing line is not primarily ethnic or linguistic but is rooted more in conceptions of politics, of man, and of democracy which go beyond ethnic divisions. On the francophone side, two principal types of reaction: telephone calls, more spontaneous, and letters, more considered and deliberate reflections. The telephone calls were frequently unfavourable (to my position calling for a moderate line) ; letters (well over 100) were favourable by a large majority. I would like to quote parts of a letter received from a person who has long been active in the religiops, cooperative and social sectors, whose honestly and forthrightness I always appreciate. He has only the interest of his people at heart; he is a keen observer and thinker, and is not at all a professional letter writer to newspapers. In the present di!emna, E.G. opts for the primacy of human life. But this is not what is most interesting. It is rather the fol,lowing: ‘It’s enough to dialogue a few minutes with our children, our relatives and friends, as well as with people in restaurants, to realize just how serious the present situation is. My fear does not come from the FLQ, nor from separatism, but from the people itself. Its aggressivity is not directed against the FLQ (its manifesto is approved by a very large number), nor against the state, but against those who are responsible for the present social and econom+ situation. This situation is more important in their minds than separatism. I am quite afraid that very soon there will not be enough police forces to contain this, because it will be expressed on several fronts at once. ‘I
Jean Marchand can impress us with the quantity of guns and dynamite which are presently in dangerous hands. Mr. Trudeau can invoke the war measures act to combat the FLQ. But I find there is more truth in what my correspondent says than all that has been said by Messrs. Trudeau, Bourassa and Drapeau in the last few days. I add this quotation from the same letter for their benefit: **I have the impression that our public men do not wish to accept any change in their way of thinking and acting. The people’s aroused consciousness is something that no one has the right to forget. Moreover, there are leaders is make this effective. Ifl
We must understand the emergency situation of the authorities after the kidnapping of Mr. Laporate and Mr. Cross. It is understandable that, with no other .recourse, they devised solutions for the immediate situation whose physical dimensions go miles beyond the problem at hand, and whose logic could alienate, rather than bring them closer, to a real solution. But it is especially important to say to these authorities that they would be mistaken to fall asleep in imagining they have public opinion behind them. Instinctive, spontaneous, superficial opinion supports them with force in the last few days. But these reactions take in only one sector of opinion. Other equally important sectors are still to be heard from. And it is from those sectors, much more than from some criminal conspiracy, that could come, tomorrow, new crises.

Laslo of Waterloo Lutheran who correctly identified the quotation of Pascal. She wins the two dollars. Now for this week’s contest-another two smackers to whomever can reveal to US exactly what the board of governors talked about tuesday when they went into a twenty-minute private and confidential session at the request of administration president Burt Matthews. Unlike most contests, members of the families, staff; their relatives, friends and acquaintances of the parties concerned ARE eligible to provide the information. The only bright spot in the board’s dreary exercise in corporate futility came when academic vice-president Howard Petch talked about his little junket to India last term. Some notes: It is best for the Indians to study Canadian development in physics research rather than american because all development in the field has occurred within the last fifteen, years,-there is a problem in India of seeing the national need for centers of excellence, yet wanting superior local university resources available,-there exists a lack of emphasis on applied. work. How ‘bout that? What the bored members were most impressed with, of course, was financial vice-pres Bruce Gellatly’s shining new financial statement which is supposed to be so bpen to critical scrutiny if anyone so desires. At 36 pages, the report, according to Bruce, outstrips the many Ontario universities who still insist on a five-line statement. Maybe so, but I’d still like to see the ‘breakdown of top men’s salaries (president, vice-presidents, etc.). For anyone who’s interested, the chevron editor gets a ridiculdus $80 per week.
