Get your thumb in gear On top of the recent cuts in transit service comes more bad news for bus travellers. For the first time most of the bus drivers are taking their vacation at the same time, so between July 26 and August 8 only three bus routes will be in operation. They will be the number 8 loop, the number 1 Queen-Frederick, and an extended mainline number 7 with every bus completing the route instead of every second one. Bill Mazmanian president of the Transit Union, told the chevron Wednesday it was the city’s suggestion that most of the drivers take their holidays at the same time. He said the union accepted it during negotiations last December when the city refused their position.

supply enough to fill the demand because of a “meat shortage” in summer. He rejected the union’s charge that the societies’ stands are responsible for the layoffs, countering that the university is playing off the union against the student groups. “The union is being put in the middle.and we’re the scapegoats.” Meanwhile, Mudie felt the stands affected the layoffs but weren’t entirely responsible because of the shortage of -work during the summer. Outside of layoffs in the student villages, which aren’t affected by the sandwich business anyway, only about six people have beenlaid off, he said. Mudie made the societies an offer in writing last July listing the prices, quantities and quality of his product but they turned it down. He didn’t know why it wasn’t accepted, since it was more nutritious, contained more meat and cheese and was cheaper than his competitor’s product. To the societies’ claim that his product is inferior to Mr. Sandwich’s, Mudie replied, “Bullroar, it’s exactly the same meat.” He said there’s no question of a meat shortage during summer when only 30 per cent of stu’dents are on campus, and taking business away from Mr. Sandwich would ensure an adequate supply. Mudie objected to the fact that” the societies don’t pay any avers head costs as Food Services does, adding that the‘union has recommended this, “It’s the principle of the thing we are here to provide a service.” When contacted> on Wednesday, Liban said the problem is very
clear: “our people’are being laid off.” It’s “a shame” the societies prefer an outsider’s product over a ’ union-made product from Food- I Services, and “unfair competition,” he said. “We only want them to buy our unionized products.” The prices for both products are the same, although there could be a differe-rice in quality, Lib&r admitr ted. “I told Mudie, ‘your coffee is undrinkable’ .” But quality can be negotiated and . although the union is busy negotiating a new contract with the university, it can make time to set up a contract with the societies, he said. “We’ve asked them for a meeting but they just don’t move.” Gary Dryden, ex-president of MathSoc, said Wednesday his soeiety had already given their business to the current supplier when Mudie-approached them three years ago ., He didn’t feel the societies are breaking the federation’s contract with the university because Mudie refused to give them any business in 1970 and Mr. Sandwich has a prior claim. Mudie’s written offer last summer came at a time when most students were away and it couldn’t be discussed properly, Dryden said. * He added that Arts Society offered to try Food, Services’ products for a two-week period but received no reply. Thirty workers have been laid off so far, according toCUPE sources, Dryden said, sugg&ting that Food Services is laying off so nonunionized workers can be hired for less. -&onyx

Lack of- audience -.-
--do wiiThe Waterloo Summer Theatre Company has collapsed after little more than a m_onth in operation. The decision to fold came Tuesday after fewer than 60 people per night paid to see the compltny’s second production, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. “The facts and figures are so desperate - we made $647.50 last week,” said artistic director Rick Armstrong in an interview. He estimated that the company needs an audience of 300 per night to survive, which,is “virtually impossible.” Sales at the box office for Joe Egg were only half of those for the first production, What the Butler Saw, which was breaking attendance records at the university, Armstrong said. “We thought we wereasgood as the alternative theatres in Toronto ,” Armstrong asserted, noting that they are able to survive on grants but “we’ve got nothing like that here.” “I’m furious. I’m trying really
hard not to attaEk this community.” But-he was especially angry at. students for letting the theatre down, observing that on- a night -with only 47 people attending Joe Egg, UW student federation flick, Three Days of the Condor, was ; sold out. Although the Ontario Arts Council has offered some financial help by the end of July, this is too I ate for the company, which plans
to end its nerformances with a final showing of Joe Egg on Sunday, he said. The other two plays scheduled for the season will not go on. The company was given its start this summer with a $5,000 loan from the student federation and, towards the end, the seven salaried members were reduced to taking a pay cut from $70 to $60 per week. As a community theatre, it tried to appeal to community audiences
by giving them what they like “something extremely--funny, extremely light, ” Armstrong explained in an earlier interview. As a result, there had‘beetian unprecedented fifty-fifty ra’tiobf students to non-students; But he seemed dissatisfied with the quality of some of the plays, pointing out that the university can “‘pick and choose” its material while “we have to compromise L’ or die.” Kitchener-Waterloo is an “im-
possible” area for theatre to penet-v rate, Armstrong felt. However, he realized that this is a “labour town” where the people feel “threatened” by theatre and intimidated by- the university, which is the only place-to stage plays since it would cost $150,000 to go somewhere else. Armstrong, doubted that there will ever be another community I theatre here because this is “about the third time.” . 4ionyx

But the government will undoub_ tedly try to use the Yukon settlement as a precedent .for a future . deal in the Northwest Territories. The Yukon settlement itself is . based on a pact signed last year between the government and the Native people around James Bay. Like‘ the Yukon settlement, the James Bay agreement split theland While Native into “categories”. people in the Yukon will have almost total control over some of the ,. land, the government can regulate and develop the rest as it sees fit. Native people in the Northwest Territories see this kind of settlement as dangerous. What makes it worse is that the government is expected to sit down to talk tough to Canada’s Inuit. And the Dene people are expected to make their land claims sometime this fall. Based on the pattern set in the two previously-negotiated agree- . ments, it is expected that Ottawa will again try to both extinguish the aboriginal rights and parcel the lands of these two groups.

Former federal NDP leader David Lewis has his face featured on a button being distributed at Simon Fraser University. He has caused a controversy at SFU by ignoring a teaching boycott and accepting a position in the political science department. The Canadian /Association of Uniqersity Teachers, of which Lewis isa member, and 12 other organizations placed a ban on the university following the dismissal of eight professors in 1%9. Seven of the professors with CAUT backing are continuing their fight to be reinstated. The buttons, whichdeclare “David Lewis is a Scab,” are part ofa campaign being waged by “the committee to re-educate David Lewis” which is protesting his acceptance of a guest lectureship. The SFU student newspaper T@e Peak quotes a spokesperson for the committee as saying Lewis’ decision to come to SFU “can only ‘harm the chances of a satisfactory resolution to the whole question of reinstatement of the seven illegally fired professors.” Lewis claimed when he accepted the job that he was unaware of the boycott. The Peak reports that the committee hopes to re-educate him about the CAUT censure. The professors were fired for suspending their classes and joining their students in protest of the department being placed under trusteeship.

UW believes P ‘, Grad fund freeze should continue The Ontario Council on University Affairs should extend the freeze on graduate funding for another year, urges a UW report for last Friday’s meeting of OCUA and the university. This would postpone uncertainty about future -funding while alternatives ‘are discussed with the universities, the report says. For two years, funding for graduate studies has not been tied to enrolment, giving universities the chance to plan programs without the pressure of the old system which matched dollars to student numbers. However, when the freeze is lifted, the university doesn’t want a new system of funding that puts a “high premium on growth,” forcing it to< .,. increase enrolment. The report mentions three programs in which graduate students were enrolled last year without funding - since 1972 in the case of the PhD in History and the Masters in Kinesiology. The university took a gamble and enrolled a small number of students in these programs anyway, with the result that the Council of Ontario Universities recommended they continue and receive funding. Later, the Masters in Recreation was developed in response to a need for graduates in this field, but funds were frozen before any of the three programs had received fromal approval, the report continues. Although the Kinesiology program remains embargoed, OCUA’s decision not to include the PhD in History and the Masters Recreation programs during the freeze is “one that we do not understand and with which .we disagree. ’ ’ Nonetheless, UW will continue these programs because they are “academically strong” and contribute to the province, the report adds. In particular, the need for graduates in Kinesiology and Recreation is growing, while the expanding undergraduate enrolment in these programs \ forces the university to look to the U.S.,for faculty. Whether or not the embargo is lifted, UW intends to proceed with its PhD program in Kinesiology in the fall of 1976, the report states. One funding alternative the university finds attractive is to continue the present system of separating graduate funding from_ enrolment, allowing for changes in the annual rate of inflation. Fund&gfor research activity/at the university is also inadequate be3 cause it is geared to graduate-student funding in a time when graduate enrolments are fluctuating, the report says. Because /research is a long-term activity, often involving investment and resources, it needs a stable level of operating funds. In addition, faculty must do research and scholarly work in departments where there are nb doctoral programs, and there is no means for the province to fund this type of research directly, the report says. The idea of a “Research Income Unit” to separate research funding from graduate-student funding has “some appeal,” but the’ mechanics haven’t been worked out and there is “no simple solution.” While research funding from grants has failed to keep pace with inflation, UW has been able to compensate to an extent by a growing increase in contract research for industry and government, the report says. Engineering, Mathematics and the Sciences account for most of the research funding at UW because of their “potential for service to the and Social Sciences is province ,” but such support for the Humanities I “less well-developed.” In addition, many new and developing fields of research involve various programs and don’t come under the protection of any established granting .agency. “Many of these fields are in the area of environmental studies, where the problems are of great social importance for this province and country.” The report urges that funding for research be flexible and responsive to change. -dionyx

It’s back-to-the-woods for the Waterloo Park and better living conditions for the animals at the zoo. At least that’s what 70 local citizens felt about a proposal to upgrade the city park at a public meeting on Wednesday. The proposal, tabled Tat the June 10 city council session,’ calls for a return to a “natural state” park and higher living standards for the wildlife display, These changes are necessary to revive flagging public interest in the park as a recreational and educational facility caused by vandalism and deteriorating conditions at the zoo; the report says. While most of the citizens agreed with the proposal, some questioned the need for a,zoo and objected to the reduction in picnic space .Evelyn Salez of YoungStreet said the idea of having a zoo is “terrible” as it denies animals a natural life. “The wildlife display isn’t necessary as it’s very cruel to the animals.” i Marg Rowe11 of William Street said the cost of improving the zoo should be examined since it’s the citizens who’ll have to foot the bill. ’

Jamie Avis of Queen’s University said the “student voice will no longer be heard” as most academic decisions will be determined by negotiations between the administration and the faculty union. “Students will be left out in the cold because of this major reorgamzation of the power relationship at universities .”

In defence of faculty unions, OFS staffer Chris Harries said the ones that exist in England are radical and students have greater influence in tenure and promotions than they did before. _ “British students gained this power because they fought for it.” Harries said the only way for students to increase their influence in academic decisions is by being militant.

I Recent/y,
the Canadian
Labour Congress took a stand against the federal government’s Anti-Inflation Program with an analysis called “Labour’s Manifesto for Canada”. This manifesto argues that the wage and price controls, which only control wages, are being used by the government as a political weapon in its development of “Liberal Corporatism”. Labour is prepared to stage a genera/ strike in support of the demands in the manifesto, pitting it against the New Democratic Party, the “party of labour”, which opposes the strike. In this article, OPlRC staffer Terry Moore wonders just how committed the labour movement’is to some of the objectives in the manifesto. He predicts a confrontation of “major historical significance” between the govtirnment and labour, and asks: by what means and to what ends do we become involved?
.
The executive council of the Canadian Labour Congress presented its analysis of and reactir/n to the federal government’s “Anti-Inflation .Prog,iamme” at the recent CLC convention in Quebec City, May 17-21. This analysis took the form of a “Labour’s Manifesto for document entitled Canada”. Even though the Manifesto was adopted by an overwhelming majority of the delegates, many questions remain as to ‘just how committed the Labour Movement really is to some of the specific policy objectives contained in it. From all indications, the Manifesto w-as written .by a very small select group within the CLC bureaucracy and presented to the heads of the affiliated unions the evening prior to the opening session of the convention. In addition, the only opportunity for meaningful discussion of the Manifesto’s implications was severely limited by the shortness of the time allotted to the debate before- the vote qn adoption in the afternoon of the first day. Nevertheless, since a. general work stoppage in support of the demands contained in the Manifesto appears to be imminent, an examination of its main points is essential if we are to understand future developments. We should begin by recalling the historical context within which the present co-tirontation between organized LZbour and the federal government has arisen. Since the late 196Os, the government has been espousing a theory of inflation which places most of the blame for domestically-inc@ced inflationary pressures at the doorstep of the unions. At first the government tried to persuade .Labour to moderate what was&referred to as their “irresponsible excesthrough the establishment of sive wage demands” the ill-fated Price and Incomes Commission (1970). John Turner tried once again to get Labour to accept voluntary wage restraints during 1974-75 when-he was still finance minister. Then, in October 1975, the government imposed B system of controls which operate directly on wages, through compulsory arbitration of previously negotiated collective bargaining agreements, and, only indirectly on prices, through the regulation of profit margins. Since the controls were introduced, organized Labour has fought against them arguing that the programme is really one of wage restraints only, based on the erroneous contention that if wages are constrained prices will eventually moderate. Labour’s initial question of how consumer prices coxld be moderated, when the three key commodities of food, land, and. energy are specifically excluded from regulation: has remained unanswered. Much speculation has taken place since October regarding the precise goal or set of goals the government is seeking to achieve through the controls ’ programme. Back in June of 1975, John Turner warned the Investment Dealers’ Association that Canada must increase its capital accumulation in order to finance its energy and industrial needs for the next decade, He suggested that government policy should aim at increasing the proportion of the Gross Naitonal Product going to capital investment from around 23 per cent to 25 per cent. The effect of this kind of shift would mean the redirection of about $3 billion a year from expenditures on consumer goods afid services to capital investment via corporate profits. Under the controls, “excess profits” will not be taxed away by the government if they are reinvested by the company in capital goods. The Manifesto extends the speculation about the ultimate purpose of the controls by arguing that they are a fagade behind which the government
N-ew Democrats are also busy dissociating themselves from any possible general strike, which they _ feel will win marginal support at best among its middle class constituency. And finally, the signing of agreements regarding the controls program between the New Democratic governments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan on the ~ one hand, and the federal government on the other, “has served to alienate rank and file-militants from the NDP. While these developments did not stop the CLC convention from reaffirming its support of the NDP, many of the angry speeches about provincial NDP governqents met with warm reception from -the floor during the debate. Events over the next couple of years could well cause a real split to occur unless, as one young -’ delegate put it, “we make the NDP into our party and take. it out of the hands of the intellectuals.” The CLC lead&-ship’s promotion of tri-partism or corporatism was denounced several times from the floor of the convention as being “class collaborationis t ’ ’ . However, such criticism failed to gain much support from the delegates most cif whom seemed much more concerned about defeating the wage controls than in’ deciphering exactly what was meant by “social corporatism”. In fact, many of the speakers referred to the Man-
plans to assume more direct powers of economic management. “Wage and Price controls have been and are being used by the government as a political weapon. They are the vehicle by which the government intends to transform the institutions of Canada.” In his opening address to the convention, CLC president Joe Morris was clear in his analysis of the situation by which Labour is confronted. “The battle in which we find ourselves is a longterm struggle for power among the three main protagonists - industry, labour and government. The defeat of the wage controls in the short-term will inevitably lead to a fierce debate and struggle over the shape of future institutions in Canada. “The labour movement of this country is in the battle of its life. It has been compelled to re-orient its thinking and direction from being primarily an economic organization, to one of a political movement.” Given the close association between business and government, the CLC leadership understands this “increased role for the government in the economic management of the country” to mean the development of w’hat it calls “Liberal Corporatism” . Although this term is n’ever precisely defined in the Manifesto, it is clear that, in part at least, it involves the permanent intervention of the government in the day-to-day functioning of the economy on behalf of the corporations. And in the irnmedjate future, the Manifesto expgovernment is not likely to leave lains, “the-federal much room for disagreement,” regarding structural changes as “all indicatioss point in the direction of some form of tri-partite structure for arriving at policy.” The Manifesto maintains that “the question for the CLC,” given this situation, “is whether it wishes to be in the forefront in the planning of the structure of the future in a way it believes will best serve the workers’ interests, or not.” “Labour has always set the price at which -it ,would support the system,” it says, and goes on to warn that “the price of Labour’s future support must be an equal share in the economic and social decision-making on a national basis with the other partners - business and government.” The name it gives to this seemingly more equitable form of tri-partism in which Labour would have “full partnership” is ‘ ‘social corporatism”. Htiwever, once again, referring to the “close identity. of business and government,” the Manifesto recognizes that “it is unlikely th& either (business or government) would willingly concede to share their power with Labour.” The strategic question posed by this impasse for trade unionists is simply “How much power do we have?” depend “The answer,” it says, “will obviously upon the ability of the Labour leadership to mobilize the union movement behind a political program which goes much beyond the defensive position-we have taken to this point.” “If we have the power to defeat wage controls,” it concludes, “then’we have the power to create social corporatism.” AS we should all know by now, the convention gave the executive council of ‘the CLC “a mandate to organize and conduct a general work stoppage or stop-pages, if and when necessary” in order to achieve “the principles expressed in the Manifesto”. So far the govern_ment’s response to these demands has been an unequivocal “NO” in regard to the withdrawal of wage controls, and an offer to continue to consult Labour on economic and social policy. Clearly, unless something unforeseen happens to . alter the present course of events, a confrontation between the government and the Labour moverflent is all but inevitable. The confrontation over the controls programme has helped to create a situation of truly historic significance. The Labour movement is more politicized now than at any other time since at least the post-WW II period. It has consciously adopted a political strategy directed at defeating a major government attack on the free collective bargaining process. As w&ell, it is demanding a direct role in decisions related to “investment and pricing policies” for the country as a whole. The traditisnally close relationship between-the New Democratic Party and the Labour movement -has been put to its most severe test in recent mem-
c The following are extracts from the manifesto passed bv the Canadian Labour Congress at its last convention.
-The consequences of wage controls for working people and their organizations are unfolding at a disturbing speed:- a steady stream of collective agsements are being rolled back; - free collective bargaining has been suspended; - there is no effective recourse to appeal; - once a collective agreement has been concluded it has to be renegotiated all over again with the AIB ; - unions are increasingly having to face the prospect of striking against the AIB and, by implication, the government; - the arithmetic guidelines are being applied with a bureaucratic slavishness which makes nonsense of the “histotical relationships” and “special consid-. erations”; - gross inequities are being created among workers doing the same jobs. Wage and price controls have been and are being us&d by the government as a political and not an ecoqomic weapon. They are the vehicle by which it intends to transform the institutions of Canada. It is only in this context that the full implications of controls can be understood T they are the launching pad for the future:

The managers of corporations always want to minimize the cost of labour. If we can be allowed to read intent into the outcome of government policy, the economy managers appear to have the same ’ objective as corporation managers. _A corporation has many ways of.minimizing cost of labour (or more precisely - maximizing

The national economy managers have some of the same options. But these arm&length techniques have apparently proved ineffective . They are now having to undermine the effectiveness of unions by an attack on their collec-tive bargaining rights. They have had to use a political instrument along with the usual economic instruments. The introduction of controls necessitates the development of 66decontrols’9 and by this the government means’more direct powers of economic management for itself.

Resist
We have decided not to accept the reductions of rights and wages. Will we be forced to accept them after unsuccessfully resisting? Will we be able to force the economy managers to make -decision< which improve the position of working people generally in the same way thatsuccessful unions have been able to force corporation ..managers to make decisions which improve the position of the mem,bers of a bargaining unit? This is really all the same question: How much power do we have? Ifwe do not have the-p-mer to resist wage controls then we will ultimately be coopted into serving the government’s intentions. In this case, wewould have liberal corporatism. The corpo-
rations may not unite to defend their collective selfinterest but the government will permanently intervene to reduce the rights and incomes of working people. In this development tri-partism would mean that the institutions of organized labour would function to ensure the acquiescence of workers in decisions taken by new institutions in which their representatives have no real power. However, if we do have the power to resist wage controls, then we also have the power to create social corporatism. But for this result to occur, organized labour ne.eds to develop national bargaining power to deal with the national economy managers and a national social and economic programme - a bargaining position: Organized labour has to resist wage controls and it has to resist in order to win. Resisting the kind of controls which mean wage controls means resisting the kind of “decontrols” which are designed to ensure that organized labour cannot recover its position. The

policy in which only wages and salaries are restrained. The close identification historically and presently between government’s interests and business’ interests is a clear warning to labour that when it comes to dividends, profits for investment, exports and all non-wage or salary forms of income it is only wages that are restrained. The business community will continue to argue that it must have the necessary economic climate to pursue profits and every time that its position deteriorates we can expect that wages and labour costs will b& the first sector restrained. The mere fact of tri-partism will not alter that fundamental fact.

policies.
To enter into a tri-partite agreement under such adverse circumstances would indeed be using the union organization as an arm of both business and government to restrain the workers.
Because of the close identity betwken business and government it is unlikely that either would willingly concede to share their power with labour. Business would not be willing to relinquish its power to invest and set its own prices and profits while government would certainly not give up the power to govern. Nevertheless, this is not to say that tri-partism or the equal sharing of all powers between labour, business and government should not be an objective of labour since the wresting of power away from business and its government inthe interests of labour is our legitimate goal. This is the price industry and government must pay.
Labour has always set the price at which it would At the local or plant level support “the system”. labour, through collective bargaining, negotiates the price at which it agrees to support the plant enterprise. At the national level the price of labour’s support has been legislative measures in the field-of social security such as the universal right to education for-all, pensions, unemployment insurance, old age security, family allowance and others. The’price of labour’s future support must be an equal share in the economic and social decision-making on a national basis with the other partners - business and government.

Programme
What is required’is change in the way that important economic and social decisions are made. Business and government must now share their power with labour. If labour’s co-operation is required to lead us out of our econom.ic difficulties then it can only be on the basis of a programme - which recognizes the right to employment for a living wage as the cornerstone of a productive and equitable society; - which recognizes the need to create jobs as the first economic priority; - which contains a commitment to protect those who suffer from inflation by taxing those who bec nefit ; - which includes a commitment to redress this country’s unacceptable record in redistributing income; - which recognizes that an equitable society can only be achieved if the power of corporations to set prices is constrained to match the constraint which is imposed on the price of labour by the collective >, bargaining process ; - which recognizes that private investment decisions must serve the interests of ordinary people. Organized labour is committed to these objectives and principles. The only guarantee that they will be honoured in our national economic and social decisions is if organized labour is a full partner in making those decisions. What is required is a system of national social and economic planning. Only through planned development will we be able - ‘to direct investment to creating jobs in secondary manufacturing and in the regions where they are most needed; - to ensure that the resources are available to meet basic needs such as housing; - to implement a programme of national manpower planning; - to plan future urban growth and protect land for food production ; - to negotiate the distribution of our national, income on an equitable basis; - to develop a national transportation policy which would complement a national industrial strategy; ’ - to implement a social security and health services system which would apply equally to all Canadians ; _- to establish our national social and economic priorities. What is required now is a programme of action to defeat wage controls and achieve national social and economic planning. Only with such a programme can we honour ourhistoric commitment to equality, justice and freedom for all and play our full part in securing the economic and social future of this count try. Progressive change can grow out of the need for change; that is the price of our cooperation. To win in this struggle every trade unionist in our movement and every affdiate of this Congress will have to commit themselves to mobilizing our strength and coordinating our resources in a way which has never been done before.

Michael was her mother’s favourite friend and he came to dinner almost every night. Simon and Jeff liked Michael very much and they played together after dinner. Some times Michael and her mother were sad because Jill would not play with them. On nice days they would gi, to the park arrd Jill would play with Michael’s dog Eggnog. She would tell Eggnog her secrets and how much she missed her father. She told Eggnog that sometimes she liked Michael be&use he made her brothers and mother very happy. One day Michael came to take Jill to the park. When they arrived they chased each otherand Jill was latighing with delight. They laid down and Michael told her how happy he was when he was with her family. It made him sad wheri she would not play with him.. Jill told Michael how much she missed’ her father and how she wished he wouldn’t sit in her father’s chair. Michael and Jill felt very close and began to cry. Jill was very confused. Michael and Jill were quiet -going home and Jill felt very good. Maybe she would play tonight and make her mother‘ happy.. Started in 1772 as an OFY grant to research topics covered by children’s literature. Before We Are Six has been funded off and on by government grants. To keep gqing they hope to get an ArtsPublishing Grant and gain enough revenue from tie sale of their books. Being such a small publishing house, an Arts Publishing Grant is hard to get because they compare the number of titles produced in ,a year with larger Canadian publishers like McClelland and Stewart. Most of their sales consist of sets to libraries across Canada. Orders are also taken for bookstores in Canada, California, England and Australia. Recently sets of the books have been requested by persons in Italy and France for translation. Local sales have been poor because they are not well known and not much contact has been made in this area. Before We Are Six would like to receive manuscripts on related subjects for publicatidn and would like to hear from illustrators. Though they warn due to the financial constraints renumeration will be limited. If you are interested contact Before We Are Six at 886-2570.

SovietUnion The Soviet Union has abandoned the socialist path, has restored capitalism, exploits the people ‘and nations within its boundaries, and has intensified its imperialist aggression abroad. <This case is put forward in a pamphlet called “,The Congress of the Soviet Revionists. A Congress of Social Imperialist Demagogy and Expansion.” In short it is an analysis of,the recent 25th congress of the so-called “Communist” Party-- of~ the Soviet Union. The pamphlet refutes the thesis presented by the new Soviet tsars headings of under the “socialism”, “proletarian internationalism” etc. It points out the nature of statements by Brezhnev such as “There is no such corner
in which it is not interested, no zone where it is not fishing in troubled waters, or no international conflict from which it is not trying to profit.” The nature. of’ Soviet imperialism is laid bare. It interferes in the internal affairs of countries the world over under the name of socialism and hence earns the brand*: “social-imperialist,” (socialist ’ in words imperialist in deeds). Many examples of this are cited such as the invasion of Czechoslovakia paraded as an act in defense of socialism; the’ division of Pakistan described as an internationalist act; and the instigation of civil war in Angola-another internationalist act according to the
The UW B Chess Team scored an upset victory over a strong London B Chess Team to take the championship for B level Chess teams in the Southwestern Ontario Chess League. The team members included Rick Martin, Paul Kostiuk, Robert lnkol and Bob Long. More recently several UW Chess players did well at the Ontario Open Chess Tournament held in’ St. Catharines. Earl Rosenbloom tied for second place overal I by obtaining 5 out of a possible6 points, while Robert lnkol picked up the C class prize by obtaining 4 points.

The bankruptcy of the soviet economy is also analysed. Despite“the boundless areas of pasture and forests.. . great human forces and that great park of machines, the Soviet Union has been on the brink of famine. If it had not been for the grain stores of the U.S., Canadian and Australian farmers and the gold of Siberia, the catastrophe would have been even greater-than those experienced by the Volga peasants in the time of tsarist Russia.” The‘ pambhlet sums up “the thing is that when guns are ,produced butter disap:
“The f&t is that, as a result of the armanients race, the fierce rivalry 1between the ttio superpowers, their persistence in their iggressive and new-colonialist policies, their interference in the internal affairs of other peoples, and their attacks on the freedom and sovereignty of the nations; not only has the danger of war not been removed but it is becoming more and moie threatening. The war budgets of the two super’ powers have reached astronomical levels and have surpassed the re-
pears”. The so-called “Communist” Party of the Soviet Union has become isolated from the workers and the rest of the people. Almost all of the secretaries of the party’s central committees of the republics districts and regions, are intellet tuals, mainly engineers and specialists of the economy. Of all party members only 41.6% are workers as opposed to 44.5% who are officials. In all the pamphlet clearly analyses the 25th ‘congress of the “Communist” Party of the Soviet Union and shows the bankruptcy 8 of the Soviet economy and their expansionist designs for w’orld hegemony. ’ It is based .on an editorial from , the organ of the central committee of the Albanian Party of Labour.

A funny and sometimes moving play about a couple coping with their spastic child, opened Thursday to an undeservedly small audience at UW’s Theatre of the Arts. Only about 60 people were on hand for the Waterloo Summer Theatre Company’s fine performance of English playwright Peter ’ Nichol’s black comedy, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. While the subject matter is delicate, never is the humor coarse or the poignancy embarassing in this play which asks the question: is it ever merciful to take a life? Bri (W.R. Chadwick) contends that it is. A cynical jokester and would-be painter trap,ped in a teaching job, he has resorted to faking jealousy to pep up his passionless marriage. His daughter Joe (Judy Barrett-Leonard) is a lo-year-old spastic - a human “vegetable’? prone to convulsions and kept at home on the insistence of her doting mother Sheila (Anne Sniecku@. With considerable hamming and make-believe, Bri and Sheila have managed to endure their misfor-’ tune, and the first act includes several funny sketches recreating run-ins with nice, incompetent doctors and a “swinging” vicar. + From time to time, the characters address the audience in lengthy asides in which they speak L .,candidly about themselves and each other. Bri is revealed to be a jealous, despairing, attention-seeking baby while Sheila is a simple person in love with life, as the vast array of pets and plants in her home testify. She is the only one who has faith in Joe’s progress and delivers a very tender account of the child’s attempt to knock down some toy blocks. But Bri is convinced #that Joe is a hopeless case, avictim of the doctor’s botching, and, in the second act of the play, pretends to have killed her and then actually 6 tries to do it. Thisact is not nearly as funny or brilliant as the first mainly because of the dreary squabbling of three new and unpleasant characters. , Freddy (Dean Barrington) is a patronizing, do-gooder indus. trialist who has given Sheila a start in amateur theatre and is trying to give Brian an interest in life by persuading ‘him to put Joe in a school . His bored wife Pam (Grace
Newton) is hideously artificial, affecting a haughty, rigidly upperclass pose and an uncertain aristocratic accent that doesn’t quite match. Only Pam is not shocked at the idea of putting Joe out of her misery, but it is for no other reason than loathing anything “N.P.A.” - Non-Physically Attractive. With the addition of Bri’s overprotective mother Grace (Patricia Nember), a fussy, self-pitying creature who-natters on in a whining voice, the cast of creeps is complete.

The bickering and indecision that ensue drive Bri to an act of desperation, leaving him faced with the dilemma of whether to remain with Sheila in her domestic hell or to chuck everything and run. ’ This sensitive play, under the direction of Maurice Evans, has ad excellent cast with especially good ‘characterizations by W.R. Chadwick and Anne Snieckus. Performances start at 8:00 p.m. tonight through Sunday. -dionyx

Wednesday’s Basketball action again featured several very close games, some of whit h were not decided until the last minute of play. In A league, the Dons swamped the Phantoms in the second half after leading by only two points at halftime. Tiny Toddlers won their third in a row by defeating Firehouse in a very close game (48-44). Toddlers were down by ten in the first half on a half-court bomb by “sure shot Walker” and the last basket of the game to nail down the four-point victory. In B league, Basketballers won a close one from MT0 (43-39) while St. Paul’s remained undefeated by topping B.C. in a defensive struggle (28-15). Math A, who were demoted to B league won their first --7-

_
game by a close (36-30) decision over ‘79 Civies. The Mists open their A-league debut next week in a game-with the Pheasants which should prove to be a close contest. In other action next week;Knocker Bickers are due for their first loss as they take on Summer Rats3 while Harmoniums will try for their first win against the Phantoms. The big game, however, pits undefeated Toddlers against the Dons. Look for the Dons to end the Toddlers’ winning streak in a close game whit h could be decided at the foul line. In B league a&ion, ‘79 Civies and B.C. will be looking for their first -win against one another and Math A will try for their second win over Basketballers. Slackers will find out if they are contenders in their game with MTO. _

Continubd defence. of’/sriie/ No I do not think that Isa& should expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. I did jnot comment previously on this statement because Bachir did not give Ben Gurion’s full statement (if in fact he ever made it), nor the question to which-he was replying, nor a reference where I can check it. I make it a policy not to comment on statements out of context - I leave that field to acknowledged experts 1ike”Bachir. However, as long as we’re on the subject of expansionism, why, Salah, do you keep ignoring Jordan’s annexation of the West Bank? Or Egypt’s of the Gaza Strip? And why no analysis of the imminent battle between the Palestinians and Syria about who should take over Lebanon (what’s left of it)? I cannot see any parallels between the Turkish defeat in World War I and Angola ‘or Indochina. Or did I miss something? Perhaps the AIA has decreed that the USSR defeated Portugal in war just before Angolan independence, or that it was Americans disguised as Vietnamese who defeated the French at Dienbienphu? So, just for the record, I do not feel that the US should have become involved in Indochina, and I certainly do not feel that Cuban intervention in Angola is justifiable. I cannot make any comment on British involvement in Rhodesia, for I know as little about that subject as Bachir does about Israel’. My point, Salah, since it seemed to slip past you, was that the British took possession of Palestine in exactly the same manner as its conquerors from Arabia twelve centuries earlier. You are entitled to argue that the British had no right to the land, but what is the justification, then, for Arab ownership thereof? As for the statement that Hitler said that “Jews should get out of their home countries and go to Israel”, all I can say, Salah, is that it is so outrageous that it makes your other statements seem reasonable by comparison. Whom do you possibly hope to persuade of the veracity of such a ludicrous lie? I have twice answered the charge that “Israel initiated four wars of aggression”, by quoting a wide variety of Arab leaders admitting responsibility. However, since your retention period is obviously so limited, Salah, I will reiterate my answer the Arabs, not the Israelis, initiated three of the four wars and encouraged the Palestinian Arabs in Israel to depart until Israel had been run into the sea. And yes, Salah, I still call Israel a democracy. I see “oppression” on the West Bank

taking
the form of free elections with an franchise (women got the vote for the first time, and property qualifications were lowered; two factors which should be dear to Salah’s heart). I only mentioned Arab oil interests in connection with their massive economic aid to Chile. In Bachir’s reply, he gives unqualified support to these actions, but that is not too surprising. Since he constantly looks for fascism where it does not exist, it is easy to understand how he can overlook aid to fascism where it does exist. @st out of interest, Salah, your letter is. the first indication I’ve seen anywhere of criticism of Iran. Perhaps you could le&me know what your bone of contention with Iran is. This has nothing to do with any of our arguments - I’m just curious. You have still done nothing to clear up several points, Salah, of which I will name just two. Why is it that Jordan, with close to 80% of the original area of Pal.estine is not being sought as a Palestinian homeland? You might also explain why Jordan, with over half of its population of Palestinian origin, is not a de facto Palestinian home-’ land now. Also, how can you have a “secular from which all of the Jews democracy” have been expelled (Article 6 of the PLO’ manifesto, as described in one of my previous letters)? Finally, an aside to the Chevron business manager - what rates has the National Publications Centre been paying for its weekly advertisement? Or is it your policy to advertise anything disguised as a letter to’ the editor free of charge? extended

The June 4 “article” titled “UNITA fights Cuban invaders” is typical of the garbage being promoted by a collection of politically archaic Stalinist clowns that troop around under ‘the banner of CPC(ML), and their local apologist Larry Hannant . The- responsibility for MPLA’s inability to uproot South African forces at Cunene dam, and subsequent complications stemming from this, falls to UNITA. UNITA, seemingly having lost the support of China but gaining the favor of the CIA, was a codefender of South Africa’s front in Southern Angola against the largest popularlysupported independence movement in An\ gola, the MPLA. UNITA sprang up when some oppor-
tunists sensed the nearing liberation of Angbla and decided to jump onto the stage to claim some of the credit. From there their record of involvement with high-paid civilian mercenaries has nauseated even the . Western press,. Certainly any presence of the Soviet Union is reason for concern. But, to describe the Angolan situation in terms of a Cuban invasion or as Soviet-controlled is to subscribe to the Kissinger position. It is otherwise ren?&iscent of the US stance in the early Vietnam days. The piece by Hannant is ingeneral a classic specimen of double-think (and double-talk) as laid-out by George Orwell in 1984. - w-,

Th ptim e _ .has come We, as members of the Canadian Association for Repeal of the Abortion Law (CARAL), feel the time has come for us to clearly define our beliefs and goals for the benefit of those who value freedom of choice. The goals of CARAL are to ensure that no woman in Canada is denied access to a safe, legal abortion; to repeal all sections of
the Criminal Code dealing with abortion, and- to establish comprehensive contraceptive and abortion services, including appropriate counselling, across the country; . and, most important, to regard the right to safe, legal abortion as a fundamental human right. ’ CARAL m‘embers are not, as have been accused, “pro-abortion” ; we regard any abortion as a failure, either of health, education, or birth control; but, until-we have the perfect contraceptive (or an errorless human) the freedom to choose abortion must not be denied. We share one goal with the so-called ‘ ‘right-to-lifers’ ’ , and that is reducing the number of abortions; we feel this can best be accomplished by better education in sexuality, contraception, and responsibility. This CANNOT be achieved by making criminals out of desperate women and the doctors who help them. It is impossible to legislate morality. Who makes up CARAL? We consist of concerned and reasonable people from coast to coast, who are of all major political parties and religious-denominations, who are dedicated to the repeal of an unjust law whose intent has been frustrated. We need help to accomplish this; if you wish to help, or merely require more information, contact Chris Wallace at 884-7504 or Pat Mighton, 696-3021. Your interest will be greatly appreciated. Chris
