S@ange tales - from, last March Last March the Gazette published an article on ,uorld economics written by Monica Lentin, based on an interview with Dr. Robert Mundell, Chairperson of U of W’s Department of Economics. The article appeared under Lentin’s pen name of Ruth Laser. The same day, the Kitchener-Waterloo Record published the article, with some editing, under the name of Henry Kochstheir business editor . When Lentin asked the Record to print an erratum they refused and asked Information Services director Jack Adams to stop her from bothering them. Lentin consulted a lawyer on the matter and he assured her that she did have an excellent case for wanting an erratum and that if she did proceed with the matter in the -’ - courts she would be sure to win. However the cost would be a thousand dollars. Lentin also spoke with the university president Burt Matthews. He told her to let the matter drop until the fall-when it would surely have straightened itself out. Nothing has been resolved since the spring. The K-W Record is a member of the Press Council, the private body that has-the power to deal with such as internal matters newspaper’s errata. Lentin took her case to the council, and they have scheduled a hearing for next Friday, November 9. If the council finds in Lentin’s favor the K-W Record will have to print an- erratum. However the chances of the council finding anything are pretty slim. At the preliminary hearing on Friday, Lentin was denied the right to have legal counsel with her. Also, she cannot ask any witnesses-all questions are asked by the She was originally chairperson. not allowed to have witnesses of her choice at the meeting, but the council ga-ve in to her demands this week and is allowing her to bring two of the people of her choice. The council meeting is also closed to the press; no public record can be kept of the meeting. cirUnder these peculiar cumstances, Lentin decided not to go on with the Press Council hearing but to further consider the choice of taking it all through the courts. 1 As yet Lentin is undecided-the large costs being the \ only drawback. However, under the threat of the Press Council the people at the - Gazette and the Record have come up with some strange tales as to exactly what happened last March-different stories than they were telling at the time. The official line from the Record’ is that Adams advised them that they could use any material they wanted in any manner that they

wished. They contend “the article was not plagiarized as it was submitted as a news release with no strings attached.” On the advice of their solicitor they decline to print an erratum. Adams has explained his position to the Record by saying that since Henry Koch had noticed the mistake and apologised to the Gazette, the matter was of no more importance. He writes in a letter to Ed Hayes, Managing Editor of the Record: “His apology was ac cepted since it was readily understandable how this would happen and since the matter of a by-line was not of concern, at any rate.” Apparently Adams has forgotton that he had agreed, that Lentin,s material could be reprinted _but that she had not said that they could attach someone else’s name to the article. Also, the apology was made to the Gazette and not Lentin-nor was it ever forwarded to her. Bob Whitton, the man charged with the responsibility of compiling the news service, has also tried to clear up the matter at his end. His new line is that he had to completely rewrite the article Lentin had handed him. In a statement written on October 4 of this year he says: “I gave it a quick rewrite. . .as I recall. I wrote it from start to finish. . .put it on our regular news service and sent it to Henry Koch.” His defence, and Lentin’s entire case, rests completely on what he calls a rewrite. No one has defined the term, and understandings of. the word are obviously varied. Whitton claims to have rewritten the article; Lentin claims it is hers with only some “minor editing”. Curious, the Chevron talked to Whitton on Wednesday afternoon of this week. Firstly, Whitton explained why he had been moved to write anything at all about something (that had happened nearly half a year ago. He said that the Record had asked him to clear up his interpretation of the events of last March so he had issued this statement. Whitton is definite about the idea of himself rewriting the entire story, however his ideas of what it means to completely rewrite something are very different from those of most people. He said: “Yes, I would say I rewrote it...She talked about American currency and then switched to British currency and then back to changed the American.. .I paragraphs around so it was easier to read-.” Asked to define “rewrite”, Whitton explained: “I included changing paragraphs around when I talk of rewrite. ..it does go further than that. . .” He . claims he had to

---Rene Levesque is one of the instigators of a movement whose aim it is to make Quebec a place that the Quebecois can be at home -where they can grow as a nation because they have the economic, political and cultural tools to do it. The election of October ‘7.3 makes us once again think about our socalled democracy. The election campaigns occurred at only one plane. The Parti Quebecois consistently brought forth new and feasible ideas that they intended to see carried ,out. Each time, the Liberals destroyed these ideas by scaring the Quebec people with ta/k of insecurity with independence. They did a good job of intimidating the people into not supporting the Parti Quebecois. With 102 seats for the Liberals, it is essential that the Quebecoisfollow carefully what this government does with the time it has been given. It is just as important that the Quebecois use this time to develop a full political conscience. photo by alain pratte

do -more than simply change paragraphs around, but he also claims that the incident was too far away to remember very clearly. He does not say that the article he produced is unrecognizable as the article Lentin submitted. As to the matter of the credit in the Gazette one would think that if he had “completely rewritten” an article there would be some credit given, but Whitton says-he does not know why he did not get credit. Brushing it off he said: “You would have to ask Grayhurst,” former editor of the Gazette. Unbeknownst to- anyone at the Gazette, Lentin had given her original article to Mundell-the interviewee-for approval before she submitted it to them. Mundell thus saw and read the article _ before it appeared in either the Gazette or the Record. He has written and sworn before a notary that the article that appeared in the Gazette was the same article that he read before its publication last March. \ Whitton has no answer to this and says only that he is also prepared to swear in court that he did “completely rewrite” the article. The argument comes down to a battle of wits between Whitton and Mundell. If the scandal goes to the courts it will be interesting-to say the least-to see what sort of coverage it gets‘ in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record. -Susan

Dotted throughout the crowd were members of the Sparticus League from the United States-a revolutionary order for social change. Members of this league dominated the discussion with their rhetoric about the workers revolution. They saw no need to separate the women’s struggle from that of the working class, and refused to let - other people have equal time in the discussion period. Friday evening’s encounter pleased very few. Women who had no prior knowledge of the movement were alienated by the discussion and even experienced conference-goers felt let down and disgusted that the weekend was apparently going to be spoiled by these few people. Discussion never returned to the oppression of women, the origins of that oppression or the relations women have with each other. Tired and angry, the group I . * s t zr 3 ‘:-t’. : . / * . *

and onto the city hall. At Queen’s Park the demonstators heard speeches of support from just about every group at the conference. There were a few men sprinkled through the crowd shouting as loudly as anyone else“Morgentaler, Macabee; change the laws and set them free...“. One man wearing an abortion repeal button clearly had only one end in sight-picking up that elusive woman of his dreams. All he did pick up were cold stares: All of this had taken much longer than had been scheduled so the workshops planned for the afternoon had to be cut short,, and they suffered in that. Only lasting forty-five minutes the workshops gave little chance for discussion and did nothing to make anyone feel like they were accomplishing anything by being at the conference. The sessions dealt with women and the law, women and the workforce, human sexuality, women and politics and, finally, daycare. As with the discussion on Friday night, the workshops were dominated by the women from the Sparticus League-which made any discussion impossible. Human sexuality was the only workshop with any semblance of order and that is because: a film was shown-making it difficult for the Sparticus League to throw in their dogma. However, the film produced by theCherniak’s of the United States was cut in half by, the conference organizers. They said that there was no time to see the rest of the film because they had to be out of the building by a certain hour. Apparently they did show the remainder of the film a’ the party Saturday evening. -After the plenary the conference organizors had planned for a plenary-but they hadn’t counted on going over their tight schedule. So the plenary was cut to one half hour and again any meaningful discussion was cut off. Just before this plenary, some delegates to the conference confronted the women from the Sparticus League, asking them to explain why they had come from the United States to an Ontario conference. Their reply was that they were on a mission to give their Canadian sisters the benefits of their knowledge and politics. One woman summed up the general feelings of the conference: “I have been involved with the women’s movement for three years, during which time nothing had been done for the working woman-and nothing has even been discussed at this conference”. At this point seventy five per cent of the conference walked out in disgust. -4inda

BurtI i-n the- a.m. The report on the proposed ice hockey arena was loosely rehashed at last Friday’s presidential press conference, but according to Burt Matthews there is “nothing firm on anything” as yet. Actually he had little to add to what has already been articulated by the report and printed in summary by the Chevron. One infers from Matthews’ noncommittal statement that the questions of financing and sites are still hanging in an embryonic state. He stated that many people consider the Seagram Drive site to be totally unsuitable, but reiterated the drawbacks of the Columbia site as shown by the report-its isolation from utilities and ,its ,inaccessibility to WLU. students. As for financing, the arena will be paid for by students -it is only a question of time. Depending on what fee is extracted from each student per term, the operation could be financed in periods ranging from three to five years. Matthews stated that an arena presently being built at Western is costing $1.2 million on student fees. He also said he would be open to the possibility of-a joint venture with WLU but preferred to keep it exclusively a UW project. His position is that the undertaking is justifiable by-on-campus needs, which constitute intramural events only. The university would be committed to operating costs, and Matthews is optimistic that these, costs could be offset by rental of the arena for outside events such as Oktoberfest. He has asked the Federation of Students, the Graduate Club and the Athletic Advisory Board to respond by November 14 with a brief on how or whether to proceed. The projected cost of the arena ($490,000 minimum, $690,000 with a curling rink) is to be weighed against the present cost of renting ice time for intramural events, which is $12,060 annually. The issue at stake, then, is justifiability as Matthews sees it. (See pages 20 and 21 for more information on the ice rink.) Also discussed at the press conference was a contract between the - Canadian International , Development Agency (CIDA) and UW whereby the latter will assist in developing graduate photo by Susan johnson

engineering programs in northeastern Brazil. CIDA has granted Waterloo $2.8 million for the project, which will sponsor exchanges of Canadian professors for Brazilian students, and facilitate research by Canadians in Brazil. Matthews stated that the grant will cover all the costs of UW’s participation in the un-. dertaking, so that no regular funds will be expropriated. As presented rather convincingly by professors Srivastava and Handa of electrical and civil engineering respectively, the programs will benefit Canadians by virtue of similarities in development potential between northeastern Brazil and western Canada. At present, Brazilians guarantee majority ownership of their. industry and the eventual outcome of projects such as this will hopefully be the full coloniza tion of Brazil. Canadians might take their cue from well coordinated efforts such as this. -4ouise

News from Pravda The following articles appeared in the Soviet Union’s official newspaper-Pravda-last week. The translations are done by , Waterloo student Helen Jelich.

Havana 20 (TASS&-On Friday the Chilean junta ordered _the Corporation of Industrial Development to immediately return businesses nationalized by the government of Allende and controlled by the workers, to their former owners. This decision concerns, in particular, the return of more than two hundred businesses, the majority of #which belonged to American corporations until the people’s government came to power. As the Minister for the Economy for the military junta Fernando Lenis stated “The process of denationalization will affect the large majority of businesses taken over by the government of People’s Unity and put under government control”. At the same time, the junta began the return of properties to large landowners which had , previously been distributed to the peasants by the people’s government. The present day regime widely opens the doors of the country to foreign capital. In the words of, Pinochet : foreign investors will have “complete safety, they will be able to act freely in businesses and to finance them.” New York 20 (TASS&Financial circles in the United States are preparing to support the military regime in Chile generously by extending to it enormous loans and” credit. According to the newspaper “Journal of Commerce”, the International Monetary Fund intends to make ‘a loan of approximately $158 million available to the junta. The Inter American Development Bank is giving credit of at least $120 million. The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) is also prepared to lend support with large sums of money. “The larger the amounts of these loans will be, the stronger will be control over Chilean politics”,writes the journal of commerce.

Strikebreakin’g: i _ Labour, * the law, and the left graphic

These scabs proved themselves to be aboye the law and with the police, the”provincia1 government and the ‘bosses as they squashed any hopes the strikers had of winning their fight.

Tho Toronto and Kitchener IWW contingents went down to the plant Friday, October 26, for the seventwenty scab entry into the plant. By six fortylfive that morning, the entire Toronto riot squad was

there with tow trucks and paddy wagons and cars ready for the morning onslaught. About fifty cops waited across the street from the picketers eyeing the easy pickings, chanters and good looking women. By seven o’clock the head of the riot squad was over greeting the many strikers and wobs whose constant presence left them acquainted by no one’s choice. At that point the motion ‘picture cameras were rolling, the lights and early morning fog made the scene look like a pre-dawn seal hunt,.

push, the Teamsters agreed not to cross the lines, and an Artistic Woodworking product boycott was arranged and given support. The left was preoccupied with its theoretical egoism. The big nationalist pushers are the Canadian Liberation Movement, they pushed the “Canadian” concept so hard that they were against the alliance of the big -international and American unions with the CTCU. The Waffle also pushed, the nationalist concept-a poor move to make when international solidarity could end the strike in no time. The CPCML was going to offer help on the line complete with window smashing and their “toughness”. The CPL was telling the strikers to join an international union, not a bad idea perhaps but not midway through a strike. The most support came from the Revolutionary Marxist Group and the IWW who bring, without. leaflets, only good intentions. These two groups are the most active. The CTCU is doing a poor job of handling the strike with little support from its Toronto locals although this might be because it lookslike-the strike might be lost. The move has the appearance of using the left as fodder until success is near and then they (CTCU) will apply their strength to reap the glory. The motherhood issue of the left using the strike for its own propaganda is quite disgusting. While the Waffle has asked picketers to chant instead of getting the scabs, the strikers have made fine moves. The scabs drive rented cars and following it up they found the car rental company and notified them that the scabs were using the cars and the cars were not insured.for riot damage. The scab company then had to find a new Tar rental company and when they did the public pressure organized by the strikers forced the car rental company to refuse to rent to the scabs. The strikers are now applying the same action to the most recent company renting cars to-the scabs. Scabs cannot get by without cars. So much for the Waffle-they are rarely even there. Aside form what you see in the papers and hear on television, the strike has come to a battle between labour with the left against the state, which is preventing justice. The real supporters deserve a lot of credit but the fake supporters need a kick in the ass; they are not fooling anyone. -joe Sheridan

Richard Hart, the Jamaican political activist gave an impressive introduction to the current situation in the West Inand its historical dies, background. His coming to campus Tuesday, October 30, can be attributed to the Caribbean Students the Association, Federation of Students, the International Students Association and numerous faculty departments. So much for promotion and credits. He began his presentation by focusing on the anti-slavery movement and then onto the decoloniza tion process and its aftermath. Great Britain’s anti-slavery society, which was made up by liberal do-gooders, by perceptive, calculating M.P.‘s and by trailing bourgeois ‘intellectuals’, wanted abolition to be gradual (in 1823). In fact it was to be so gradual that it would be virtually unnoticeable : “a generation and twenty one years”. But to the dismay of this established intelligentsia the slaves in the West Indies themselves accelerated the development by rebelling on several occasions. The main one being the emancipation rebellion of Jamaica in 1831-2. These unauthorized revolts made the slaves the vanguard, the chance to “set the timetable” and led to the abolition of slavery in 1833. Hart, however, pointed out that abolition did not equal revolution as the social hierarchy remained unchanged with the English latifundist oligarchy keeping their ‘rights’. In addition to the maintenance of the status .quo, the colonial assemblies were determined by capitalist accumulation, thus eliminating the masses from any sort of political input. The latifundist oligarchy was so afraid (with good reason of course) of - the increasing discontent of the ex-slaves that it” preferred to surrender its political autonomy to the British government (and thus secure Crown = protection) in 1865. The ‘brown middle class’-an alleged intermediate classemerged in 1871. This progression was fostered by the agrarian bourgeoisie, “at the will of the This plantocracy”. typical bourgeois maneuver should be viewed as an attempt to divide the popular movement, and to reinforce the racial inferiority cornplex. It was only with Marcus Garvey that the racial inferiority complex was contested in a strong manner; “black is beautiful”. This slogan the excessive counteracted brainwashing of white supremacy. After dwelling on the historical perspective, Hart then described the decolonization process which involved the People’s National Party in Jamaica. (Hart was part

the chevron

of the left-wing within the party). The party’s line was mainly petit bourgeois nationalism in that it did not have a very strong anticapitalist voice. The fact that the movement was not opposed to foreign operated capital facilitated independence since the British, after the second world war, did not want to keep all their colonies-given their weakened state. Though Jamaica obtained political independence it did not have economic control, since the British opened the door for other capitalistic nations with risk capital, Hart put it quite adequately-“the British adapted to the new post-war situation”. The Jamaican example applies also to the other ex-eolonies. Hart concluded his presentation by stressing the need to do away with the neocolonial mentality of the ex-colonies politicians. He spoke of the recent summit meeting between Fidel Castro and other leaders of Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad-Tobago as a possible breakaway from this neocolonial mentality. -john

“We need experts, people with some training and special skills”, explained deputy minister Irene Johnson to a group of some fifty students Wednesday afternoon. Personnel shortages exist in fields such as economics, statistics, accounting and auditing. ~ “There are 400 vacancies for auditors and accountants”, she noted. “We have to go abroad to fill these positions. I don’t know why students are not turned on by auditing”, she added. Ottawa is meeting the need for auditors and accountants by training its own staff who express an interest, Johnson was on campus to speak on career opportunities in the civil service which somehow &s interpreted as opportunities for women-considering the predominance of ,women in the audience. One reason for this misinterpretation could have been that the speaker was sponsored by the dean of women. The deputy minister described herself as a “salesperson” for the public service-changing the wording quickly from “salesman”. The public service of . Canada, which. staffs all the federal bureaucracy, is the largest single employer in the country with 230,000 employees. Jobs cover forty departments, Johnson said, and set about describing some of those departments from agriculture to urban affairs. Although much stress has been ‘put on bilingualism in the federal public service in the past few years, Johnson did not emphasize it in her speech and had to be asked specifically about it afterwards. The government is in the process of designating jobs as bilingual, unilingual French or unilingual English, she explained. The public service cannot take language into account when hiring but will train the applicant after he or she has been hired.

Open

house The Women’s Place is a place for women of all ages, to go to play cards, learn things, talk or become. involved in a form of political action. Contrary to most beliefs, the Women’s Place is not meant only for those who are presently involved in the women’s liberation movement. A housewife, who is alone with her children all day, often needs someplace to go where she can sit down and relax while talking to other women. Although she may be quite contented in her life as a housewife, who. still needs- some sort of place where she can go and talk to other women about some problems she might have of just being a woman-problems she might not ordinarily talk over with her husband. Besides filling the need for a- retreat, the Women’s Place is also a place where she can learn. Classes in self defence and automobile mechanics are offered for a small fee. These classes are ones which are not usually offered to women in schools. On Thursday October 25, the Women’s Place opened its doors to the public. About 350 women showed up, their ages ranging from 15 to 50. Needless to say, all had a different philosophy of what a place like this should do. One thing was generally agreed uponthat all women, as women, face certain problems. Women’s Place is located in a large house at 25 DuPont Street East in Waterloo. The house has a kitchen, living room, bulletin boards, library of literature on women, a video unit, and day care facilities. All this made a very interesting opening to an important addition to our community . There were, of course, many women there who were currently involved in the women’s movement, along with those who thought that all of women’s problems could be solved through socialism. These women are taking part in consciousness raising groups, so that when it. is time for any sort of action to take place they can all be on the sme politic al level. One group which will be encouraged, on the same line, is the men’s consciousness raising group. Theoretically, if both men and women become aware of their sexuality, then the chances ot their being able to get along as a mixed group will be much higher. Men interested in such a group could have signed up for it at the open house. Unfortunately, no men came in that night. Generally, the Women’s Place is for women, but men are not diicouraged from coming around to find out what the Women’s Place is about. Men with serious intentions will be respected by the women they talk to. The Women’s Place is a positive action centre by the women in this community to cater to some of the needs of the women.

The forward lines played a strong skating and checking game be with Jim Nickleson proving to an a,sset on the penalty killing line. Lee Barnes played a strong game six scoring two of the Warriors’ goals with singles going to Dave McCosh, Geoff Fielding, Mike Guimond and Danny Partland. Partland opened the game’s scoring on a hard slapshot from the blue line which caught the upper right hand corner oflthe net leaving the Lutheran goaltender little chance. As in previous exhibition games the netminding was divided between two goaltenders, with Doug Snoddy and Bob Hnatyk seeing action in this game. Both netminders managed some good saves keeping the Golden Hawks down to only four goals. Lutheran goalie, Phil McColeman, played a good game coming up with many

On Tuesday evening, the travelled to York Warriors University in Toronto to meet the Yeomen in the first regular season game. Few penalties and good team work on both parts accounted for the close, fast game which ended in a 4-3 win for the Warriors. The forward lines played their usual aggressive game, while the defense showed improvement over the previous exhibition games. Elliott opened the scoring early in the first period on a nicely set up play by Guimond and Hawkshaw. York responded a few seconds later with a tying goal and managed to obtain one more to leave the score at the end of the first period 2-1 in their favour. Waterloo returned to the ice to play an aggressive second period netting two goals to obtain a 3-2 lead. Markers were collected by Jim Nickleson on a play from Lee Barnes, and Randy Stubel on a shot from the point assisted by Nickleson. f Early in the third period Waterloo advanced their lead 4-2 on Elliott’s second goal of the

night. Shortly after, Elliott received a cut in the upper lip which required two stitches. Although York managed one more goal in the final period, they were unsuccessful. in obtaining a tie in their last minute possession of the play. With two Warrior players in the penalty box, York pulled their goal tender in favour of an extra attacker, giving them a three man advantage. Good defensive work on the part of the three remaining Warriors put a damper on York’s final chance when Partland took possession of the puck and killed the remaining few seconds of the game. Jake Dupuis played a commendable game in net’ for the Warriors. At the close of the game a three star selection was made with Waterloo’sJim Nickleson and Lee Barnes collecting first and third respectively. This weekend the Warriors are travelling to Ann Arbor to play the University of Michigan in games on Friday and Saturday. -liskris

In league B, Cdn Connection emerged as victors with 5 wins versus 1 loss. Parta Ola placed a point behind with 4 wins, 1 loss and a tie.

Co-ed broomball started last week and anyone interested in joining a team can do so by phoning the intramural office, 3532. Also, a number of recreational hockey teams which play each Friday afternoon are in need of players. If interested, please call the above number.

Flag football In -flag-football playoff action, first round action saw some excellent football, especially in view of the inclement weather. In ‘a major upset, Regular Math, led bypinpoint passing of Paul Noble, defeated VII South by 26-14. Brian Pearson and Bruce Timms scored majors for the losers. In another -upset, a determined CCFU team aided by a strong defense shut out Conny G. 9-O. The CCFU touchdown was stored by David Fox on a 60 yard return of an interception. Ted Hogan added a single and safety touch to round out the scoring. The Jocks easily handled a dissension-ridden VII West team in clobbering them 23-O. Beattie, Redvers, and Fittenburg received td. passes from QB Tom Brownhill. Joe Thiers led the defense and also gained a safety touch. Paul Bagnarol made a great grandstand catch for what he thought was the first Jock touchdown, but as was expected, St. Jeromes defeated Optometry 9-O. However, the match. was extremely close, and although John Doycle’scored a major for the Bagbiters, it was the punting of Rick Ciupa that earned the victory. The 69er’s also found the going tough, but managed a 16-O victory over a determined Recreation Club. In another close battle, VI East won a disputed match over Co-op 8-7. Kurt Weye scored a touchdown for Co-op while Jim Crouchnan kicked a single. In rounding out first action, VI South’s offense controlled more than three-quarters of the game, ending up on top of a 14-O score. Scoring majors for South was Sterling and Saville, while Dalzell booted a pair of singles.

shorts. Rugby The Warrior Rugby _ team finished the season with victories over Brock and McMaster teams, giving the team a four and four win-loss record for the season. On October 25, the Warriors defeated the McMaster team ,by a score of 3-O. Gary Smith scored an unusual field goal which is scored by a drop kick taken- during the play. The low scoring could be attributed to the fact that the Warrior backs had not played together, since some of the players were brought up from the Trojan team. On October 27, the Warriors travelled to Brock and managed to put together a 34-12 victory. The refereeing was of questionable calibre during the first half, which accounted for a very poor showing by the Warriors during that half. Mitch Hammer, Ben Peca and Eric Naber scored tries and Mike Westlake did an excellent job of kicking one hundred percent on the converts and penalty kicks.

Volleyball -The men’s volleyball team started off the season with good exhibition matches this year. Home and away games were played against Guelph with the Warriors coming out on top 4-2. Rigorous practices have produced a highly competitive team. Four returnees, Bob Willis, John Beattie, Mark Lackey and Jim Kaufman make up the core of the team with the remaining positions filled by capable rookies. The depth of the team will prove to be the decisive factor for the Warriors in the upcoming tournaments. I The first home tournament is this Saturday, Nov. 3 starting at 900 am and continuing all day at, the P.A.C. Support for the locals in their first major tournament would be appreciated by the players. Last year’s OUAA winners, the York Yeonmen, will compete along with Queen’s, Guelph, Toronto,‘Mac, London and K-W Sr. “AA” Volleyball clubs and a strong platoon from RMC.

demise, was led by an officer corps largely influenced by the United States, and derived from the Chilean upper classes. The assumption that the military would support a left-leaning government was contrary to all historical precedent, and certainly at odds with the Marxian principles supposedly held dear by Allende.

Jon McGill is a chevron staffer presently residing in England. In this, the second in a series of articles discussing a wide variety o i social and political issues prevalent in the United Kingdom, he talks of the recent coup d’etat in Chile. Social democracy, in the mold of the British Labour Party has been dealt a decisive blow by the junta, and prompts any socialist to reconsider the possibility of a constitutional transition from a capitalist to a socialist society.

The Chile upon where

failure of the’“noble experiment” in is a failure which should not be lost the representatives of socialism, ever they may be.

In particular, the British Labour Party, left here must and the “respectable” certainly wonder whether the time has not come to shed their own parliamentary trappings, and begin in earnest what used to be considered their “historical task”. The signs so far indicate that Chilean lessons are still obscured by the peculiar insularity which makes a fossil of the British left. “The Chilean experience is exciting the British people because their own perspective of achieving socialism is only possible within the constitutional framework, following the path similar to that taken by Chile.” (El Siglo,’ organ of the Chilean CP, Mar. 25, 1972) That the Chilean communists should assert that Britain has no socialist option save the “constitutional framework” goes a long way toward an explanation of the state of Marxist representatives in Chile. It goes even further to explain British socialism, since the view is largely unquestioned. Some obvious questions now arise from the Chilean failure. Why did it fail?-the most important question.‘The answers are more complex than this short survey might indicate. The failure of Allende’s government is, in a larger sense, the failure of parliamentary socialism. Since that path both compromise and the requires crossing of class interests, it must surely result &one of two things: either total and tragic failure, as in Chile; or a hybrid socialism which cannot hope to be all things to all men, yet insists upon the attempt. ,I It is this ‘second~result which currently prevails in Britain. For that reason, the Chilean failure brings reality into the often fantasy-ridden British scene. Never a nation to lean very heavily upon political reality, the indications here are that, once again, Britain will consider itself almost totally divorced from universal lessons. The added factor of quick Tory recognition of the Chilean junta brought only _ --mild dissent from. the left. That

l;l*

R.I.?. T le demise of reformism by Jon recognition serves to indicate that Britain, indeed Europe, no less than the United States, is happy to see the demise of an embarrassing government. In the midst of the complete annihilation of parliamentary socialism, the Labour Party breezed blithely along with scarcely a bowing of its collective head. :

The electoral figures, so often quoted by those happy to see Allende dead and gone, do not mean as much as the reactionaries imply. Despite the less than majority vote, there can be no doubt that Allende was not leading but following the working-class reaction to the Christian

McGill

Democrat failure, and that reaction wa S much stronger politically than the partie S engaged in internecine wars. Perhaps thl most significant factor in the Chile of 197( ; was the lack of unity within the right. Bu t such disunity could not last forever in thl 3 face of a “Marxist” president. The almos t total absence of a viable centrist alter native not only gave Allende power, but ir 1 some sense led partially to his downfall .

The general trend of Labour thought here seems to be that it was not a failure of parliamentary socialism that brought Allende to heel, but the “specific /circumstances” of Chile. That the circumstances find parallels in existing British conditions means next to nothing here. . Chile was, even through Allende’s tenure, a nation of inequalities, infested with the multi-national copper profiteers, a largely reactionary middleclass, and a complete lack of revolutionary programs. The defeat of Allende in 1964 was achieved by a subtle appeal to the growing mass of discontented and frustratedworkers. The promises of land reform and nationalization of copper mines, made by the Christian Democrats, were sufficient to sway the voters into the basically rightwing grasp of business and the military. By 1970, the promises” were in ashes, and Allende was the, beneficiary of factionalism within the Christian Democrats, and the even more reactionary Nacionales.

The vast gap between the working-clas! and the middle and upper-classes had nc liberal bridge, a bridge vitally necessary for even so tame a creature a! parliamentary socialism. The extrem position of the right in Chile can best b measured by a comparison with the milt “reformism” social undertaken b: Allende.

Far from dismantling the machiner and institutional breeding-grounds of thi right, Allende embarked upon what mus inevitably be seen as placatory measures Aware of the tenuous nature of hi, original support, Allende was immediate11 caught up on the barbed wire of refor mism - compromise. The Popular Unity Party of Allendc e posed no serious threat to the heart o f Chilean capitalism. The majority of the e workers and over sixty per cent of in ldustry were left in the sphere of privat e enterprise. Therein lies another flaw il n both Chilean socialism and parliamentar; Y socialism (which are largely one and thl e same): Allende refused to place eithe r trust or power in the hands of the worker . In fact, far from relying upon the workers 7 Allende relied upon the “loyal” military . That military, the instrument of hi! s

Allende seems to have mistaken the largely working-class military rank and file for the machinery which, in fact, controlled the allegiances of that military. Furthermore, Allende could not use a military force to quell risings of workers, which he had done, then do an about-face and call on that same military to support his struggle against a right-wing coup. Rather than allow class antagonism to foster and enforce socialism, Allende, submitting to the pressures of a half-breed economy, played classes one against the other, using state instruments as his tools. The working-class, in many instances, refused to submit to compromise, installing themselves as controllers of many factories, particularly in Santiago. The instrument of control was called the cordone, a geographical factory-link system. The cordones received neither support nor aid from the expected area, i.e. Allende. The catalyst in Chile proved to be the weakening, almost nonexistent middleclass support of Allende. Lacking the liberal buffer-zone required ‘to maintain any form of parliamentary socialism this class turned rapidly to the right. In attempting to maintain an even-shakier cabinet, Allende brought in military representatives, who, of course, refused to work toward the inevitable liberal compromise. Through August of this year, the repressive actions of the army became more and more open, without fear of organized opposition, either from the near.lifeless government or from the weakened workers. On September 11, the army made its final, /successful move: a move made inevitable by the failure of parliamentary socialism. It is certainly of small worth to criticize Allende after the fact. The right may crow until eternity that the Chilean experience represents some abject failure of Marxism. More realistically, the fall of Allende represents something which Marxists have known’ all along: parliamentary socialism is a sham, whether it be in Britain, in Chile, or in North America. Those who would have us believe that the capitalist state can be reformed\ peacefully, with compromise and goodwill, are refuted by a further nail in the reformist coffin. It is unfortunate that the coffin must constantly be enlarged to contain the many Chilean victims of

’ Under the landshie~ ‘- G a new game witli oh&rules “But what Quoth little ” Why, that “But ‘twas

good came of it at last?” Peterkin. I cannot tell, ” said he; a famous Victory. ” -Robert

Southey

For some, there was little doubt about what good came of it. Prime Minister I Pierre Elliott Trudeau said that “if this were a referendum, federalism would have obviously carried the day and we would not hear any more talk of separatism. I have always been convinced that the vast majority of Quebecers would prefer federalism over separatism. ” He declared the result a serious setback to separatism, and many of his English Canadian colleagues hastened to agree. Among them were federal NDP leader David Lewis, and NDP premiers Blakeney of Saskatchewan and Barrett of British Columbia. These reactions were quick, but they bore little relation to what had actually happened. The October 29 ’ general election in Quebec was, of course, a substantial, victory for Premier Robert Bourassa and his Liberal party. But the NDP notables at least, and even Prime Minister Trudeau, should have known better. They should have entertained some qualms about what tha? victory represented, and how it was obtained. And beyond that, even if the Liberal sweep at times seemed complete, the election was far from being a total defeat for the Parti Quebecois, which will now form the’iofficial opposition in Quebec’s National Assembly. In terms of the popular vote, the PQ attained the objective it had set for itself of 30 per cent, up six per cent from the 1970 election. For that to have been translated into a substantial gain in seats, third and fourth parties would have had to maintain a presence in the election, allowing Pequistes to slip through in three- and four-way races, Instead, both the Parti Creditiste and the Union Nationale collapsed beyond anyone’s expectations. The result is the sharpest polarization of its politics Quebec has known in a long time. On one side stand the Liberals, representing unfettered free enterprise, increased foreign investment, and a tight federal connection; on the other stands the PQ, representing increased social welfare, state intervention in the economy, and political and economic sovereignty. They met head on, and this time the first option has won. In some parts of Quebec, the margin between the two is still substantial; in others it is slight. In the latter category are the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jeanregion, where the PQ took a seat for the first time, the North Shore of the St. Lawrence river, where Pequiste Lucien Lessard retained his Saguenay seat, Montreal’s South Shore, where two ridings were Liberal-PQ toss-ups the day after the election, and the east end of-Montreal, where the PQ and the Liberals won approximately equal votes. Even in the two east-end seats that were taken from them by the Liberals, the PQ substantially increased its share of the vote over last time. Guy Joron won Gouin in 1970 with 41 per cent of the vote, but lost it in 1973 with 45 per cent, while Dr. Camille Laurin, who had taken Bourget in 1970 with only 40 per cent of the vote, lost it this time with 46 per cent.

Rene Levesque’s Parti Quebecois emphasis on economic sovereignty separation

friday;

placed more than on political

of two of their more effective parliamentarians in Lam-in and Joron, and the party’s failure to elect any of its Big Three of Rene Levesque, Jacques Parizeau and Claude Morin. Even more of the weight than before will fall on the shoulders of Robe?t Burns, the former tradeunion lawyer who retained his seat with a comfortable, majority. It was Burns who broke the ‘dam on the scandals involving former Liberal Labour Minister Pierre Laporte, and he should have plenty of opportunity to follow through on that attack in the next Assembly. While Burns speaks for the left wing of the PQ, the party’s right will also have a strong voice in JacquesYvan Morin, former head of the Estates-General of French Canada, newly elected in Sauve riding. As a compromise, the position of parliamentary Leader of the Opposition is expected to go to Marcel Leger, a successful small businessman who was re-elected in Lafontaine. In 1970, PQ leader Rene Levesque spoke to a massive, cheering crowd in Montreal’s east-end Paul Sauve arena after the party had taken a stunning - for that election - 24 per cent of the popular vote and said that “this is a defeat that has something of the air of a victory.” . There was again a crowd in the Paul Sauve arena on October 29, but its mood was different. Defeated candidates cried on each other’s shoulders. Levesque himself was subdued. They may not have known it then, but for the PQ this Quebec election could turn out to be a victory that had something of the air of a defeat.

-Ouebec: Wateraatb tradition: one Parti Quebecois scrutineer Ever since 1960, John Kennedy’s successful presiden\ Quebec tial campaign has been the-most popular model for elecreported seeing voters come to the polls claiming to live toral strategists all over the world. Robert Bourassa’s at addresses of buildings he knew to have been Quebec Liberals, however, seem to have been considerdemolished. Other tactics, however, were straight out of the era of Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy. ably more impressed with Richard Nixon’s campaign . of 1972. The election was conceived in scandal, as the months Like Nixon, they held an exaggerated view of the just before its calling were dominated by the Laporte threat to their remaining in office and took exaggerated affair, Quebec’s own Pandora’s Box of revelations, measures to meet that threat. Like Nixon, they ended leaks, charges and counter-charges. On September 25, up-with a huge, and perhaps unwieldy, majority on electhe Quebec Commission of Inquiry into Organized Crime, which the government had carefully been trying tion day. And like Nixon, they may find that their mandate is not nearly so strong as they believed it to be. to steer away from probing into the dealings.of the late Just as Watergate remained an undercurrent all Labour Minister Pierre Laporte and other Liberals with through 1972, with little overt effect on the campaign, the underworld, convened briefly after its summer break so the Quebec campaign had its own undercurrent of and then adjourned again , until mid-November. That dirty tricks, irregular electoral lists, and American-style same night Bourassa announced the dissolution of the political bugging. Some of the incidents were in the best National Assembly and the calling of the October 29 election. On election night, Justice Minister Jerome Choquette said that the Crime Commission would pursue its inquiry vigorously, in much the tone of President Nixon ...ANDEVEN MIRE announcing that the new‘ special Watergate prosecutor DOCUMENTATION OF would have full White House co-operation. LORRUPTION WITHIN' Another Nixonian touch was the careful packaging THELIBERAL PARTY.'.'.' and sealing of Premier Bourassa that characterized the Liberal campaign. He concentrated on radio and TV and avoided much contact with the press. Statements by the premier and other Liberal luminaries and candidates were recorded on cassettes twice a day and made available to local radio stations, Newspapermen also had to rely on the cassettes for information. As one reporter put it, “you can’t ask a cassette any questions.” When Bourassa attended rallies, all was studiously orchestrated. His personal hairdresser accompanied him everywhere and made him up five and six times a day. Other stage managers always positioned the news cameras to his right, insuring that all photos and film would only capture his “good profile”. But the real Liberal campaign started last May when the government put into effect its new permanent electoral list. This law put control of the compilation of the electoral list into the hands of the governing Liberal party and the official opposition at the time, the Union Nationale. The result was that thousands of eligible voters were left off the list, while the names of thousands of noncitizen immigrants w‘ere included, mostly in the central Montreal area. Needless to say, the immigrant vote went heavily Liberal, as it always does. There were some 1 13,000 demands for revision of Gabriel Loubier, who presided’ over the dissolution the electoral list in the Montreal area alone, most of of the once-powerful Union Nationale them organized by the PQ.

North? were complaints by people who said they had been left off the electoral list - in the 1970 election, there had been only 80,000 such complaints in the whole province. Many of the demands were accepted, but enough were rejected to affect the results in some close ridings. In the central Montreal riding of Mercier, where Premier Bourassa fought off a strong challenge from 1’Abbe Louis O’Neill of the PQ, 1,450 PQ complaints of ineligible voters on the list were rejected. That figure represented almost three quarters of the premier’s electionnight majority. Another of Bourassa’s dubious electoral adventures backfired on the premier. This was a campaign book extolling the benefits that would arise from. the James ,Bay project. The Indians of Quebec Association, which has filed suit for an injunction stopping the project, took the position that the publication of the book could conceivably prejudice their -case.

ante. Perhaps the most serious-allegation made against the -Liberals in the campaign was that they had authorized secret electronic surveillance of political opponents. Jean-Pierre Charbonneau of Le Devoir, who has been the recipient of a flood of police leaks over the last few months, revealed that officials of the nationalist St. Jean Baptiste Society in Montreal had been bugged by the Quebec Provincial Police. At the same time, La Presse revealed the existence of a secret government agency, called the Centre for Analysis and Documentation (CAS), reporting directly to the premier and charged with delving into subversive activities and violations of national security. One ofthe sources of information for CAD is, of course, the Quebec Provincial Police: The transcripts of the SJBS tapes were part of a top secret file called “Quebec-95”, which, according to Charbonneau’s police sources, is a “political” dossier of information on “movements of national influence” in Quebec. Again according to the police sources, “Quebec-95” is not an isolated case. In other words, the police are bugging not only supgroups but moderate, conservative posedly “terrorist” nationalist organizations like the St. Jean Baptiste Society. And the police are also supplying information to a top-secret government body, responsible directly to Premier Bourassa. Furthermore, Charbonneau said that the bugging of the SJBS was directed primarily toward “finding out the links tying the St. Jean Baptiste Society to the independentist movement and more particularly to the Parti Quebecois.” All this only began to come out toward the end of and thus few details are available andthe campaign, conclusions are necessarily uncertain. Once again, however, the pattern of a regime with an extreme fear of its political opponents emerges. Just a year ago, at the time of his re-election, President Richard Nixon tias unchallenged and seemed unchaldoubt lengeable. One year later, there is considerable about whether he will be able to finish out his term. It is not beyond possibility that the same thing will happen to Robert Bourassa.

There were at least three different Varieties one was the work of the Liberal Party.

* * * The electoral cynicism of Mr. Robert Bourassa appears to have attained heights which few politicians will be able to equal in the future. . . . One of the most revealing examples occurred recently during a visit the premier made to the hydroelectric con: struction sites at James Bay, accompanied by a number of journalists. Several of the reporters were dumbfounded witnesses to the following incident. Mr. Bourassa sat down at a table with some workers and began to eat an ear of corn, to show that he could put himself at the same level as simple working men and eat with them. Suddenly, after only a few seconds, he said to the television cameramen who were filming him: “Do you have enough?” He got up right away, and didn’t sit down again.

electoral image . . . to a point where some found it indecent. . . . In fact, the premier’s electoral cynicism has no limit. He will go so far as to ask a minislt;l* to modify paragraphs in his letter of resignation so that he will be able to “cover” himself politically later on. - There is also the case of the minister of justice, Mr. Jerome Choquette, whom the premier allowed to be seen as a sort of legalistic hardliner in the matter of the jailing of the three labour leaders, while Bourassa himself did not discourage rumours concerning his own supposed greater breadth of spirit. The same strategy was seen in the Laporte affair. Mr. Choquette had to play the villain for several weeks, while Mr.‘ Bourassa kept the good-guy role for himself. For the premier, to humiliate or to break an MNA or a minister, as he did in the case of the MNA Alfred Boss6 on the taxi issue, and the minister Jean-Paul l’Allier during the public service conflict, doesn’t weigh heavily if the image of his party can gain something from it . . . .

Bourassa: r Waiting for ,’the good-u@iII~of foreigners!, 1 Unilaterally, the English-language press of Quebec declared it a confrontation of federalism versus separatism. “Separatism the only issue in focus,” said a Montreal Gazette headline the Saturday before the October 29 goes to the test Monday,” said a vote. “Federalism Montreal Star headline the same day. On election day, the Star trumpeted that the future of a nation was at stake. It was an interpretation very much at odds with the impression that Parti Quebecdis leader Rene Levesque, for one, had taken great pains to create. If it was easy for the English to see the election in the stark terms of federalism versus separatism, on the French side the view of what was involved tended to be a lot more complex. Most of the serious content of the campaign was contained in what the French-language press called “la guerre des chiffres” - the war of figures. Whether the details of the chifres that the Liberals and the PQ presented were of any help to the voter in making up his mind is dubious. But the interpretations each party presented reflected different approaches to economic development that were made extremely clear .during the campaign and were at the root of what was . .at issue in the election. The war of figures dates back-to the latter stages of the previous Quebec election campaign, in 1970. At that time the federal Liberal party, as its intervention in the campaign, issued a document that purported to show that Quebec got more out of Confederation than it put in. The PQ answered with its own figures, which it claimed’ showed precisely the opposite. Fought on that basis; it was a war nobody could win,

since each economisthas his own definition of what should be included in such a calculation and what left out. And although that battle continued through the 1973 campaign, it was overshadosved by another, more genuine debate: the PQ argued that Quebec had the economic strength to go it alone, not just in terms of political independence but without the heavy dependence on foreign capital that characterizes its economy, while the Liberals insisted that the only way Quebec could expand economically was to- continue to try to attract multinational corporations to the province at whatever price and by whatever. means necessary. “In Mr. Bourassa’s opinion,” reported the Montreal daily La Presse after interviewing both the premier and Rene Levesque on the subject of what Quebec would be like in ten years. “Quebec in ten years could be as rich as Ontario or even richer, mostly because of -the overflowing natural resources that are waiting only for the good will of foreigners to be developed. “ ‘I have in my hands,” explains Mr. Bourassa, ‘an untold reservoir of economic power that I intend to develop to death for the profit of Quebecers, whether it’s hydroelectric power, petroleum, mines; with foreign capital, because 1 don’t have any of my own. As soon as I have indigenous capital, I will take that capital.’ ” In a’campaign speech in the North Shore boom-town of Sept-Iles, Bourassa said that “if we didn’t have the irtvestment of multinational corporations what we would see would be an exodus of young people from this area and we can’t allow that to happen . . . . “In some cases we have resources which force them to come here, but in many cases we are competing with Ontario, the Maritim.es and the U.S. and they don’t have

to come. If they’re taxed to the limit they won’t come.” He noted that the province has “ 137,000 young people coming onto the labour market every year. In 1979, when the growth of the labour force decreases considerably, we will need less foreign investment than we do now, but what choice do we have at the moment?’ ’ The attitude toward foreign capital determined the rest of the Liberal policy. “Stability” was a key word in the Liberal campaign. The federal connection was to b-e maintained on the basis of “le federalisme rentable” - profitable federalism, surely one of the less uplifting slogans on which a country has been based. Union militancy would be severely dealt with, -although the premier toned down his anti-labour stance in the latter stages of the campaign after it elicited a negative reaction from his audiences and the disapproval of his own labour minister. The Parti Quebecois’s demands for independence were met with a promise of “cultural sovereignty” - a tacit admission that economic and political control would be abdicated to others. It was a policy whose lineage owed more to Maurice Duplessis, the Union Nationale chef of the ‘forties and ‘fifties, than to Bourassa’s Liberal predecessor Jean Lesage. And in the best Duplessis tradition, Bourassa stumped the province in thelast days of the campaign and exhorted voters to vote “du bon bord” - on the winning side. “It’s more convenient to have a deputy ‘du bon bord’ than in the Opposition,” he explained to voters in Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce. In contrast, the Parti Quebecois hesitantly offered a program of economic sovereignty. It was the PQ that. took most of the initiatives in the war of figures.

-Ipresentation

designed to resemble an official budget speech, Levesque and the PQ’s chief financial expert Jacques Parizeau presented the party’s budget for the first year of independence. Later, Parizeau released a government document of great significance that had been leaked to the PQ - Quebec’s national accounts for the last twenty-five years. ’ Both events attracted wide publicity, although their ultimate electoral wisdom was a subject of debate in the election-night post mot-terns. They both made clear that the PQ was staking out an economic territory considerably to the left of that occupied by Premier Bourassa. But particularly in the area where Bourassa was so explicit, the attitude toward foreign capital, the PQ policy contained an element of vagueness. perhaps, for electoral purposes, a deliberate one.

The .ecbnomic argument ‘,

In the budget, which repatriated to Quebec all the revenues cGllected within its borders and redirected federal expenditures such as defence into a variety of social measures, the PQ foresaw little change in the level of foreign investment in Quebec. It included little -in the way of a reduction in the tax advantages held by in the party’s own description, PQ large corporations; government would effect “the disappearance of part of the fiscal privileges of certain categories of enterprises.” Eric Kierans, Levesque’s former colleague in the Lesage Liberal government of the early sixties, commented that “the Parti Quebecois intends to superimpose democratic socialism on an unchanged private capitalist system of production. This is a neat trick but it cannot be done. Nor is it democratic socialism. If the corporate community were to buy the soothing syrup of no increases in taxes - don’t hold your breath on this - the burden of financing the -expanded social services would then fall directly on personal incomes.” In its interpretation of the national accounts, however, the PQ gave evidence of a considerably greater breadth 1 of economic vision. The national accounts did not perhaps have the impact they deserved. The PQ had released so many documents showing Quebec at an economic disadvantage that many people thought this was just another salvo in the sterile deabte over whether federalism is or is not rentable. It was, in fact, something quite different. It was a portrait of the Quebec economy that sho’wed that over the last twenty-five years Quebec had been a net exporter of capital to the tune of $10 billion - in other words, said the PQ, Quebec had more than enough capital to finance its own development. . ’ 4 / Last

Levesque said a PQ government would take steps to “channel this surplus of capital” back into the Quebec economy. It would admit foreign capital on the government’s terms, and not on its own terms as advocated by the Bourassa Liberals. These differing economic policies representfed a deeper difference between the two parties than the federalismversus-separatism dichotomy posed by Montreal’s English papers. Although the PQ has not wavered in its stated commitment to political sovereignty for Quebec, that particular plank in its platform, once the very basis for its existence, has occupied a lower and lower position on its scale of priorities.

The independence polky f A vote for the PQ in 1973 was not so much a vote to consider it. for independence as a, willingness “Today, I’m voting for the only party ready to form a real government, ’ ’ said a PQ ad that appeared in every French paper in the province just before the election. “In 1975, by referendum, I will decide on the future of Quebec. One thing at a time! Everything in its own time. ” The clear statement that independence would be undertaken only after a referendum was a departure from the PQ’s previous position, and also from a plank in the official party platform. There was, however, another plank in the platform that said that the constitution of an independent Quebec would be decided by a referendum. Since it would be impossible to proclaim independence without a constitution, that gave Levesque the out he needed to tell voters nothing precipitous would happen the morning after a PQ victory. Another PQ ad said, “On October‘ 30, if the Parti Quebecois was elected the previous day, Quebec will still be a Canadian province. “o Present federal laws will continue’ to apply in I Quebec. “o Quebec taxpayers will continue to pay their federal taxes. “o Our currency will still be the Canadian dollar. “o There will be no national boundaries between Quebec and the other provinces. ” The ad goes on to explain how a PQ government would call for a vote of the National Assembly on the principle of independence, negotiate the terms of sovereignty and ‘association with Ottawa and prepare a new constitution to be submitted to a referendum in two years. In the meantime, it would address itself to four immediate priorities: the repeal of bill 63, the schoollanguage law that is a nationalistic sticking point for many Quebecers; a winter-works program to mitigate winter unemployment; higher family allowances; and action against inflation. Of these, only the first-named is even remotely related to the nationalism that was supposed to be the PQ’s driving force. The fuzziness of the independence question was not / directed as a sop toward frightened English voters, but was a recognition that there were many French-speaking voters who would be happier about voting PQ if they didn’t have to make up their minds on independence right away. “Some consider it necessary,” wrote Le Detioir editorialist Laurent Laplante two days before the election (each of the paper’s four editorial writers was given a chance to express his own opinion: two came out for the Liberals, two for the PQ), “to situate independence at the very heart of the current electoral debate. This vision of things has the advantage of clarity. In voting for the-Par-G Quebecois, the elector would cast a fully lucid vote in favour of independence. Conversely, for anyone who does not wish independence, it would become impossible to support the Parti Quebecois. ’ “For my part, I r&fuse to participate at this point in a hardening of positions of this sort. 1 will vote in favour of the Parti Quebecois even though I still .entertain certain doubts about independence. Why? To signify my support for the only political grouping which seems to me to be respecting the minimum rules of democratic life.” ’ Significantly, Levesque himself said in Chicoutimi in the last week of the campaign that he was convinced that the PQ would win t-he election easiiy if it didn’t have to “be the vehicle for that which we believe to

2, 1973

be a necessity for Quebec, that is independence. ” He elaborated: “If we were not condemned - and I think it’s a very fruitful condemnation - to be the vehicle for independence I believe the PQ might have been in power since 1970, but it’s a sure thing that it would be in power next Monday. , “On every street corner there are people who tell us: ‘We regret not being able to be with you because we are afraid. For all the rest, we would with you.’ ” Eric Kierans reported that L&esque himself had been in favour of dropping the independence plank from the platform entirely, but was overruled by the party executive. It is too ,early to tell how PQ strategists will interpret the success of the new approach to independence in the light of the election results. But it is clear that there is a growing feeling within the party that while much will have to change in the political and economic relations between Quebec and English Canada, there is more than one option that might be acceptable to a PQ government _ The smug English Canadian conclusion that “separatism is dead” found little to justify it in the election results. PQ strength is too persistent and two widespread to interpret the election as unambiguously a victory for federalism and a defeat for the Parti Quebecois. The future of “separatism” as such is, however, in doubt. In the immediate aftermath of the election, there was a chorus of calls for the PQ to drop the independence plank from its platform entirely. Most of these calls were from highly suspect sources. Premier Bourassa said on election night that LI“it is possible that the PQ might change its stand-for independence in view of its defeat tonight. ’ ’ The next day the Toronto Globe and Mail chimed in that “it is not impossible to imagine a Parti Quebecois gradually tempering the arguments of absolute separatism and looking for a more general constituency as a centre-left party . : . ..” Whether such a party would be any more palatable to the -Globe and Mail is questionable, and has little to do with whether,or not the PQ moves in that direction. ‘But. the PQ has left the door to such a possibility open, and it only remains to be seen whether the party will now march through that open door.

The people responsible for concerts in the Board Of‘Entertainment have had the uncharacteristic foresight to put a performer in suitable surroundings for once, choosing to present Bruce Cockburn who was here a week ago yesterday, in the Theatre of the Arts. Cockburn in the old People’s Palace may well have drowned for all his ability as a musician and performer. He is a very personable performer, not jiving too well with the “blow your mind” machines that one expects to explode inside the auditorium/gymnasium which are generally used for the purpose of satisfying the masses. Really, part of the show is the closeness and informality which he plays out to the audience which then plays back to him. It is this bit,of interplay which his concerts seem to develop from. Cockburn appears all boyish innocence - unshaven all the more that way. So it seems only natural that his music has always contained such a light lyrical quality; that he should draw so much of h2s imagery from rustic natural scenes, “Going to the Country”-and this theme is continued on through a great deal of his work. Cockburn, the image is rather idyllic and extravagant-a simplicity and lyricism about the person and the music that speaks somewhat of the little farming communities dotted all over Ontario, still clinging, though tenuously ‘to their character ,and flavour in the face of the towns and citiessweet voracious idealism. And there is a little of the Sunday church music to be found in songs like “One Day I Walk”-a pace and feeling like this which runs through most of his music. Delicacy is also a word that could be used to help describe Cockbum’s the,, subtle and precise style - always guitar work, harmonies and lyrics; all very carefully bonded together. And last ‘week with some of his newer work, there was a jazz quality appearing in some of the music, though the moodiness and and the 1introspection of “Deja Vu” lightness of “When the Sun Comes Nova” indicate that Cockbum has not left all his old styles behind him. Cockburn’s expertise with guitar, dulcimer and even banjo are well known and point along with his music to the versatility within his particular area of music that ,keeps such as this one largely reviews favourable. . What follows is a short interview conducted a little before the performance.

larder with the second album, and there yas a little more response. But each album has a little more instrumentation In it, you know, bass and drums, and vhen you put the record on in the midst of 1 converstation, which is how a lot of ;hese guys hear new albums, well they can iear it more and consequently I think the 3ew -album “has a better, chance in the states than any of the previous ones. Does the commercialization of’ your nusic bother you; or do you feel it’s something you have to go through to get your music listened to, the recording albums, and hyping them, and getting the attention of the DJ’s? First of all, I’m not directly involved with that, in fact I’m not involved at all with the business end of it. I’m involved only to the extent of getting the record made. And then getting it in a package that seems to go with the music, that sort Df thing, and then it’s the salesmen who do it. And Bernie (Finkelstein, his manager), he’s responsible for keeping all those people in line. But, no, I don’t feel it I I’m not really connected with the corn. me&al end of things, and I don’t think Have you performed in the US? Or have we’ve made any really great sacrifices toward that .. . your records even been released there? FinkelsteinBelieve me, he’s made Yeah, the first album was released in none... the States, and got virtually no response It certainly doesn’t come mto the at all and the Sunwheel Dance album picture when we’re recording or writing, came out and met with slightly better reaction, but it wasn’t a success ir So as long as it doesn’t do that, I guess business terms at all. And the new albun it’s not too much of an encroachment. will be coming out shortly. Do you ever have any say, or do you Why have you not had success there? ever care, what ticket prices are, say when There are several reasons. I suppose the you appear in places like Massey Hall? best reason is that I haven’t played thert Well, we talk about it, yeah, but it at all, and the thing that helped here hasn’t become a big problem so far. In when nobody knew my music and I first many cases, I have no idea what people started out was that, at least in Gntario, 1 charge, but that mostly applies to college kids, where they charge what they think ,already had a bit of an audience established. A fair number of people hat they can get away with, I suppose. Finkelstein-I think there’s no doubt heard me play, in Ottawa, Toronto ant and play foi Montreal anyway. There’s nothing likt Bruce could play downtown as many people in one show as he’s beer that for me .in the States now. playing for in two shows here; and charge Do you have any desire, for that matter $,5 a head: We always try to play the best to do well in t;he States? Well, not much, I’m not against it bui hall as opposed to the= most money, an’d when you play the best hall I’m not actively going after it, either. Bul sometimes you have to charge more money. Likt the thing is, the other reason I haven’{ les: caught on in the States is that the music Massey Hall, if you charge anything than $5, $4 and $3, nobody makes any has to through a sort of filter; the recorc . company, the disc jockeys, tht money. You have the image of being more salesmen-the people in between-and i to play small audiences, morf they’re not into the record, people wil willing never get to hear it, it doesn’t matter whal eager to do that, than other performers many of whom we can’t even bring or it’s like. And, especially with the firs album, nobody was into the record, thej campus because they charge so much. Bur didn’t really try very hard; they tried a lo1 money isn’t all of it.

mystique. And the mystique of someone like Gordon Lightfoot is much more withdrawn, much more distant. He looks upon himself and other people look upon him as a “star” who would just never play to small audiences at lower prices again. Well, we don’t really try to make an image, like the image that I have. . . well, I don’t really like the whole idea of images. I’d rather be a person to people than something they construct. But there’s no way you can avoid it if you appear in public, and people know you through Bther things than yourself, your everyday sort of manner, having an image constructed around you. But we don’t do it ourselves, you see, we’re not trying to keep anything up. We don’t send things out to people telling them about me. So if I seem more accessible to people, that’s why, all the image is being done from their side of it. Do you consider yourself into writing and performing and recording as a fairly long-range career now? I don’t really plan that far ahead. I know what I’m going to be doing for another two years, after that I have no idea what I’m .going to do. I don’t see at this.point, getting involved with anything that isn’t connected with music, but I don’t know if I’ll always be writing songs and playing guitar. Does it ever bother you to be called the best or one of the best “Canadian” musicians, to be considered’ in the narrow terms of “Canadian”? Well, it bothers me, more when people call me “one of the best” of anything, to tell you the truth. . . that’s a ridiculous thing to have to live up to. ‘There’s probably quite a few Canadians who play guitar far better than I do, and there are probably people who write better words, and compose more gripping music. But no, the idea of being Canadian doesn’t bother me at all, there’s no reason why anybody should say anything more about me, because we haven’t really done anything outside, and the little bit of exposure I’ve had outside has always been as a Canadian anyway, because I’m new there. . . -. . . It’s unavoidable, especially that it’s such a rage, a big fad now to be a Canadian in Canada. A Canadian artist can get his work before the public’a lot easier than he could ten years ago, but that works both ways, you gain something and you lose something. It does give people a chance that they didn’t have before when they deserved it, but at

the same time there’s no guarantee you’re going to get good stuff, because if. people are compelled to put out Canadian stuff and they know it’s going to sell no matter what it’s like, then they’re going to put out the first thing that comes to hand. In fact, some of the best performers and writers around that I know of are not having any more success since this whole Canadian trip has come about. . . . There’s still not many places to play. When a guy is starting out performing, he needs the kind of learning experience that only comes from playing in front of people, and if there’s no place to do that, you never really mature. Most towns don’t have anything, some campuses have coffee houses. It sort of shows you how much the whole Canadian thing isworth, it doesn’t really affect large numbers of people, there’s just a fairly vocal minority which talks about it. And there’s even a smaller minority actually involved in it; the rest of the people are just out wandering around watching their hockey games and buying records that come from the states. Coming from a folk and then rock-androll background, your first album was very folky, and then on your second album, you got into more complicated, almost Eastern-influenced music. And now you seem{ to have alot of blues and jazz influences showing up in your music. What do you consider the influences on you right now? That’s a pretty hard question to answer in a way, because as far as exposing myself to music that influences me, I’ve always tried to make that as widespread as possible. Like , I listen to Rumanian music, jazz and Tibetan music and Baroque music, and it all goes in and then it all comes out, but it doesn’t all come out at once. So it’s really hard for me to pinpoint any influences; I’ve been listening to more jazz lately than I have for a while, but when I was in high school I was into jazz, and when I fist started performing I was doing ragtime and country blues, so those things have always been there and they’re sort of surfacing now in terms of the music I’m j\ writing. In your lyrics, you’ve always had a lovehate attitude towards big cities. Is that changing as you’re spending more of your time in cities? Well, it changes from time to time. I mean, if you spend enough time away from the city, you start to think, “Gee, wouldn‘t it be nice to go to a movie”, or something, so you remember the romantic things and the extreme bummers and you forget about all the greyness. So then you go back to the city and you sit for a week and do all the things that are there to do, and then you think, “Wouldn’t it be nice to be out under the trees”. We’ll probably be spending a lot of time in Toronto this winter, and I don’t think city life is particularly good for people, but it’s probably better for the-state of the world than having that many people spread over the countryside. I’d rather be in the country than in the city almost anytime, but there are certain , things I want to learn, and if I want to broaden myself musically, I have to do that with other musicians and so I’ve got to be where they are. So it’s a case of balancing one against the other. Do you view yourself or your lyrics as political in any way? At best, I can distil1 things out of my own experience, and if I put them in the right images then they become accessible to other people, measurable against their own experience. Maybe that gives them some alternate way of looking at things, another dimension to the way they might think about a certain thing. But I don’t sit down and think,- “Well, I’d better tell people about this, they’d better know about it”, I’m not into delivering messages.

Neil Young is a mediocre superstar With this point in mind, his Monday nigh gig at the Wilford Laurier University wa not too bad. In fact it could have bee: worse had he not performed. At $5.25 ticket (Neil Young was his own promote so h? set the price), everyone could see th show in relative comfort, in smal classroom sized <Fairs. Murra; Preceding Y;jung was McLaughlan, who besides offering th middle class masses insipid lyrics paradoxically satisfied them. graphics

by Chris bechtel -

To gain the public’s sympath McLaughlan introduced a son “Hurracaine of Change” by saying it ‘wa intended as a anti-James Bay Projec tune, penned at a teach-in of the project i Montreal. Cries of “awright” greeted thj statement of social concern. Aftc McLaughlan finally vadated the stage, th Neil Young official roadies started t decorate the stage with silver hub cap: platform-soled boots, a palm tree and red Indian chief (a dummy) holding guitar. An attempt to create a “Mian Beach” atmosphere. The “Miami Beach” atmosphere prove to be stronger than Neil Young’s pe formance, which in aword, was tolerable One could say that Young seems to have fixation on the primitive, the back to th roots syndrome -that is current1 prevailing in the music world. His son “don’t be denied” displays a rather secon rate James Brown bass riff intersperse with pedestrian pedal steel guitar playin by an individual called Ben Keith. Lea guitar was of ‘slightly better qualit: though not exciting in the innovatit sense. The gig concluded with Neil Youn pleading to the audience to get off the seats, his plea was uniqtue as he’wanted t be “thought of as James Brown” ahd tht he wanted a return to the “primitive”. Tlcrowd readily obeyed orders and a happ time was had by all. --john

Ekseptional Classics: Tl Best of Ekseption (Philips 6410 044) is collection of ten tunes, from Bach 1 Gershwin, arranged either by Ekseptic or by one of their producers, Rick v. 1 Linden. The short arrangement of parts ( Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony successful1 integrates the use of a full symphon orchestra with the keyboard and win interpretatiohs of the band. The transitic

from the orchestral arrangement to that of the band is accompanied by a quickening of tempo, a trait commotily found in any contemporary arrangement of classical tunes. This piece is perhaps the most often re-arranged of the classics, and as such has come under much abuse, the most noticeable qf ‘which was Walter Carlos’ version for the film A Clockwork Orange. However, amidst the many interpretations of Beethoven’s Fifth, the combination of the classical and the jazz idiom of musical expression achieved by Ekseption ranks high on any qualitative scale. The pattern set with “The 5th” is followed throughout the album. Staying true to the original compositions, Ekseption demonstrates superb talent, particularly on keyboards (piano, harpsichord, electric piano, etc) and on horns. The one other selection that is definitely Gershwin’s worth mentioning is “Rhapsody in blue”, a fine piece of music in itself, but is particularly well handled by Ekseption. For anyone not familiar with the music of, Ekseption, this collection provides a weti rounded sampling and will come in handy on those quiet evenings, curled up with a book when the Rolling Stones don’t quite fit the bill. Rock enthusiasts have learned to be wary of any band that has been billed as “not just another Canadian band” and tend to cock a critical ear in that direction after a number of sad experiences. That is not to say that indigenous rock music is beyond our reach, however, for the time being we have to content ourselves with a number of aspiring bands of mediocre or worse accomplishment. “Warpig’s” first recording venture, simply entitled Warpig (LondonNAS 13528) while not destitute of merit does not exhibit any singular outstariding features and strikes one with its mediocrity more than anything else. With their home in Woodstock they have grown up through the pub and, ‘hotel circuit, admittedly not the most fertile ground for musical innovation. Nonetheless, if their first recording-is a true indication of where they are heading, they should stay in the pubs and hotels. -iohn

Additionally, David con tributed two solo songs by Hugo Wolf and Marg two French songs, one by Faurc and one by Henri Duparc, another composer of whom many readers wouldn’i have heard. (He wrote mainly songs, ant lived into the first quarter or so of thi$ century .) ” I My own favourites amohg these per formances, and evidently those of the audience, insofar as they had favourites were the performances of Schumann, ever though each was quite different ir character from the other two. Perhaps thi: is a reflection of Schumann’s great felicity at voqal writing. At any rate, no one coulc fail to be touched by the ‘exquisite ren dering of the soprano‘ line in the cradh song (Wiegenlied) , or the charm&g plighi of the tenor as he stood out in’the rain storm imploring his sweetheart (who isn’i co-operating) to let him in (Liebhaben Standchen), or by the splendid etching and underlining of the pianist in “He ant She”. While one must approve of the inclusior of a ,duet from Monteverdi’s great opera “The Coronation Qf Poppea” in tht programme, it must be admitted that the piano just isn’t suitable as a substitute fol Monteverdi’s Renaissance orchestra o singing strings and softly-plucked lutr and cembalo. The duet itself is a dandy though. (Speaking of Monteverdi, be il known that WLU’s Collegium Musicum with Marg as one Qf the soloists, will bc performing another of the incomparable masterpieces of sacred music, Mon teverdi’s Vespers of 1610, on Novembe 20.

Noontime duets <;.

October 24th saw about 150 of us musiclovers going to the Theatre of the Arts at 11: 30 to hear the concert of duets and solos by Margaret Elligsen and David Walker with Joanne Elligsen accompanying. These performers are wellknown to us and we expect good things from them; all present would agree, I think, that they lived up to expectations. One especial “plus” about programmes from these performers is that they so often introduce us to material we are unlikely to have heard before. In the present case, it even includes a composer previously unknown to me: Peter Cornelius, who I find’was a lZ9th ce’ntury German composer of, among other things, opera in a nianner influenced by Wagner. His song, “Der I$este Liebesbrief”, opened the programme agreeably. There were three

Probably , David’s demanding schedule doesn’t permit the kind of ap plication needed for the last degree o effectiveness here. Certainly this is nc place to cavil: the pieces were done well and it is well that they were done.

Wayne’ . rides again 0

Billed on the marquee as “his best movie’ ’ , John W-ayne’s newest film, C&hill, United States Marshall, currently playing at the Fox, falls far short of some ad man’s hopes. That it fails in its aspirations is due to a basic flaw which may be seen in many of the Duke’s pictures: John Wayne overshadows every performer and the film thus becomes his vehicle alone, at the expense of the other characters. The plot starts on an original note but slowly grinds its way down to a morass of partly achieved aims. Cahill (Wayne) is a tough lawman who is constantly on the trail, rounding up various criminals and bringing them/to justice. In doing so, he neglects the welfare of his two sons, Daniel (G&y Grimes ) and Billy Joe (Clay O’Brien) who, motherless, are greatly offended by Cahill’s indifferent sort of love for them. They conspire, with the aid of a group of seasoned criminals, led by Fraser (George Kennedy) to get back at their father by robbing the town bank. In this way, they seek to win his love and certainly, his attention. There are various complications: two men are killed during the holdup and Cahill must track down those responsible. Up to this point, the action has been fairly clear. The movie soon starts to degenerate though. George Kennedy presents a reasonably strong characterization of the chief outlaw but Gary Grimes as I Wayne’s 17 year old son is absolutely insipid. He seems constantly on the threshold of tears and one wonders why any villain in his right/mind would have chosen him as a partner in crime. Wayne’s other son, Billy Joe is seen as a misguided little boy but it comes as a distinct revelation that he is eleven or twelve years old instead of the previously c imagined six or seven. Such is the level of maturity shown by his performance. Perhaps the best supporting actor is Neville Brand who plays Wayne’s grizzled half-breed sidekick, Lightfoot. Wayne, who once said in a Playboy interview that he always includes a “proper” number of Indians and Blacks in his films, seems to be developing some glimmering of a social conscience. He apparently accepts Lightfoot as his equal, if for no other reason than the fact that Lightfoot has shown that he can live well and die well, in the classic Wayne tradition. There is one Black in the film and Wayne’s attitudes can be summarized in what might well be the best line of dialogue in the script. “I’m no bigot: I’d shoot a black man as fast as I’d shoot a white”. Or perhaps even faster, one imagines. Isolated episodes such as these can hardly salvage a movie filled with poor dialogue, a standard “Western” soundtrack by Elmer Bernstein and laligely unsuccessful character acting. The overuse of viole&e or threats of violence in the picture, especially near the end is small compensation for the other deficiencies the film exhibits. Judging by the large crowd present on a rainy Sunday evening, there are a sufficent nutiber of John Wayne fans-in the Twin Cities to sustain the film for a healthy run. The picture plays on a.double bill with Rikhard Harris’ Man in the Wilderness, an interesting although somewhat offbeat western from a year or two ago. -john

It may be interesting to note that Mrs. Dagg’s husband is ~,president of the Waterloo Tennis Club, which is also situated in the I am sure Mr. Dagg park’s perimeter. expressed little concern for the aesthetic quality of the park when the club just a few days ago re-erected its ugly bubble. I was not aware that a tennis club enhances a park’s appearance while an ice arena does not. Another point to consider is the fact that the proposed parcel of la@ is on the perimeter of the p&k and in its presentstate is rather unattractive and of little importance. I feel that a thoughtfully designed arena can only enhance that area of the park. So please, Mrs. Dagg, confront your husband before you con., front us, T.R. Kin.

Fri,end or eriemy? Peace in the Middle East. This is’ the story in the news. They also say that the ceasefire is a shaky one, for no resolution has been reached, and part of the Egyptian army is still surrounded by the Israelis . The lands which the Arabs seeked to free from the Israelis are still occupied, and both sides have now high war bills to pay and many bodies to bury. How is this fight going to end? Are the Arabs going to push the Israelis into the sea, or are the Israelis going to burn all Arabs alive? Are the two enemies ging to reach some kind of agreement and quit hating each other? Not very likely that any of these is going to haRpen. A long time ago, some man called Zechariah, believed by many to be a prophet, spoke about Israel’s situation of today. His words are written in the Bible for us to read. This man knew about the rebirth of the Israeli state in our days: _ “Thus saith the Lord of Hosts* , . . .. . . .I will bring them and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.....” Zech.8 #8. . “And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, 0 house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I. save you and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong”. Zech. 8 /

#13.

Someone said that Arabs don’t know how to fight. Wrong! Arabs are known to be among the best fighters in the world. The Arab soldier believes in his country and is ready to give I \ his life for it. What then? How come the Israelis keep winning? The Prophet says: “And they shall be as mighty men which tread down their enemies in the mire of the stqets, in the battle: and they shall fight, BECAUSE THE LORD IS WITH THEM ,... i.“. Zech 10 #5. The/leaders of Israel must l&ow very well what they are doing, as one. would conclude from the victories in which they lead their country. Zechariah knew why: - “In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and likd a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they-shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left; and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, ‘even in Jerusalem.” Zech. 12 #6. The prophet has not missed so far. His words are coming true with surprising accuracy. The last part of the prophesy, however, says: “Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided among thee. “For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle: and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cutoff from the city. “Then shall The Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of the battle.” Zech. 14 #l-3. Friend, I wrote these*words to show YOU that th!e word of The Lord is truthful. I would also like to ask you a question: Where are you going to be when the day of The Lord comes? Are you going to be with Him or against Him? To avoid being an enemy of God, one must go on‘ His side, and this is only possible t-hrough The Lord Jesus Christ. He is “The Way and the Truth and the Life .” Accept Him today and put away your pride, and he will show you what life really is all about. He Iwants you to be happy. Jesus loves you. Remember, Emmanuel Katsirdakis

Shouby, writes: “The Arabs are forced to oveP-assert and exaggerate in almost all types of communication, lest they be hisunderstodd. If an Arab says exactly what he means without the expected exaggeration, his hearers doubt his stand or even suspect him of meaning the opposite” (Middle East Journal, 5, pp. 284320). And a foremost Arab historian, Professor PIK. Hitti, discusses the topic of falsifying history: “The Arabian genealogist, like his brother the Arabian historian, had a ‘horror vacui’ and his fancy had no difficulty in bridging gaps and filling vacancies; in this way he has succeeded in giving us in most instances a continuous record from Adam or, in more modest compass, from Ishmael and ,Abraham” (Hitti, P.K:, History of the Arabs, 9th ed., p. 91). In light 3f the above remarks, it is understandable that statements of Arab spokesmen are continually at variance with each other and with the facts. It is understandable that recent. Arab reports implied that over 600 Israeli planes had been destroyed in battle, although Israel possessed fewer than 500. It is understandable that Arab reports during the Six-Day War stated that bombs were destroyirig Israel, although Israel was not bombed ,at all (Churchill, R.S., and Churchill, W.S., The Six Day War). And it is understandable that Arabs blame Israel for causing the pathetic plight of the Palestinian refugees, although one of these refugees wrote in a Jordanian paper that “The Arab exodus...was not caused- by the actual -battle, but by the exaggerated description spread by Arab leaders to incite them to fight the Jews” (Yunes Ahmed Assad, in Al Urdun, April 19, 1953). And it is understandable that Arabs blame Israel for perpetuating the problems of these refugees, although the Egyptian journal El Muswar admitted in masses of the December, 1968: “The Palestinian people are pnly the advanceguard of the Arab nation.. .a plan for rousing world opinion in stages, as it would not be able to understand or accept a. war by the hundred million krabs against a small state.” And it is understandable that Arabs ,claim to sympathize with these refugees, although the Refugee Conference at Horns, Syria, 1957, passed the resolution: “Any discussion aimed at a solution of the Palestine problem not based on assuring the refugees’ right to annihilate Israel will I be regarded as a desecration of the \Arab

people and an act of treason”. And it is understandable that Arabs claim that they have never desired the destruction of Israel, although Nassar stated at the Festival of Unity, February 2, 1965: “The meaning of Arab unity is the liquidation of Israel”. Oqe obstacle to effective communication between cultures; as between individuals, is that the participants do not necessarily share a common orientation toward truth and reality. It is hoped that recognition of this obstacle will lead to more meaningful communication in future. I .F. Altrows grad psychology

old man! We recently attended the Brock University open house on the weekend of October 20 and 21 and came across their student newspaper.

No truth in Araby

Recent letters to the Chevron from Arab and Muslim student groups have attempted to perpetuate malicious, hateful untruths regarding Israel and Zionism. Such letters are liable to confuse readers in the present culture, who are accustomed to expect a modicum of truth and rationality from college-educated people. However, Arabic analysts have discussed in some detail the attitudes toward truth whicli are prevalent in Arab cultures. The Arab sociologist, Sania Hamady , writes: “Lying is a widespread habit among the Arabs and they have a low ~ idea of truth...The Arab has no scruples about lying if by it he obtains his objective,..He is more interested in feeling than facts, in conveying an impression than in giving a report” (S. Hamady, Character and Temperament of the Arabs, pp. 5, 36). Another Arabic scholar, Eli
