the new riding of Simcoe South This week we learn that Mr Clark will do just that The Progressive Conservative leader is scheduled to address rally at the Stroud Iniiisfil Recreation Centre next riday night Hell also pay flying visit to Barrie for press conference earlier in the day We look forward to the visit for several reasons First we want to see the man himself Lets not forget this is Mr Clarks first national campaign Its also his first visit to our riding In that respect he is still an unknown quantity firsthand look will give us measure of the man and how he measure up as national leader Second we want to hear the issues Its becoming apparent that the national issues the economy inflation national unity are also the issues in Simcoc South Having national leader define those issues can only mean better informed voting public And the better informed voters are the better their choice will be on May 22 Mr Clarks apixarance here on April 27 deserves and gets our thank you in advance The question arises if Mr Clark thinks Simcoe South deserves peisonal visit will Mr Trudeau and Mr Broad bcnt now follow his lead Dear Sir Joe Clark doesnt make it easy for Canadians to decide for him Whenever he speaks he brings forth proposals which insult our in telligence Apparently he is ill informed and illadvised Just mention his promise to ex cept mortgage payments from taxa tion recognized as unfair to the ma jority of people who dont own houses and have to pay high rents Or again his idea that fundamen tal individual rights should be over ridden by acts of government ministers Or how he promises dairy farmers that he will block meat imports and letters to the editor promises and the acknowledgement that we are an intelligent electorate We would strongly advise Mr Clark to avoid glittering predic tions which have no scientific foun dations or background If leader any leader would promise us nothing but sweat and tears he would come much nearer to our own evaluation of our present predica ment Only an unpopular cutback in our life styles can heal our social and economic ails We live our means Promising us even more is disser vice We are realistic and expect the same from our future leader the next day he promises wildly giving Government is not housewives that he will lower meat right for us thrifty one will prices guarantee that our beloved Canada From our possible next Prime will well survive Minister we expect better Oro Waldstein During recent speech Mr Clark Becton declared that he will wrestle infla tion to per cent by 1985 Besides the possibility that he might not even be at the helm of the country by that late date he obviously pro mises more than any serious parliamentarian could well back up When the best experts in all the world have failed to stem the infla tion and know no answer Mr Clark asserts that he will arrest inflation Dear Sir Your suggestion of music festival in Barrie Examiner April 16 is an excellent one

Tories did make another stab at making small business investment attractive in their new budget but it goes nowhere near as far as the Liberals or 77 think necessary The most visible IISiIgIttIIICIII between the three parties is over the Tory belief that some largc corporations need financial grants to keep them going here Industry and Tourism Minister Larry Grossman defined it recently as

years By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Nigeria oilrich and Africas most populous nation may soon be its first black one with an elected government if army plans for federal election this summer go through In fact such plans are welladvanced in keeping with the firm promise by the ruling Supreme Military Council that civilian rule will come again after 13 years Last fall political parties were legalized again on the understanding each one would try and represent the entire country and not the large and distinct tribal regions which make up vast Nigeria The next stage is elections for state assemblies state governors and the national legislature The election for the countrys first civilian president since 1966 takes place this Sep lember It was unreconcilable differences between the three major racial and religious divisions of Nigeria which did much to shatter its first and founding democracy and bring on the Biafran War in 1968 The three major such divisions are the HausaFulani in the north mainly Moslem and not entirely black the black Yorubas in southwestern Nigeria and the site of Lagos the capital and the Ibo in the southeast the formerBiafrans PARTIES STILL TRIBAL So far the major contending parties seem to represent traditional tribal regions more than was planned The National Party of Nigeria is HausaFulani The Nigerian Peoples Party is Ibo and the Unity Party of Nigeria is Yoruba The only party with apparently bona fide nationwide support is the Great Peoples Party led by one of Nigerias many multi millionaire entrepreneurs whose fortunes began under British rule before 1960 as part ners in British multinational trading companies Alhaji Waziri Ibrahim member of minority tribe and one of Nigerias richest men is one of these He has much success with his truly national party because of the largesse he makes available to his followers and because his tribe is not one of the powerful racial entities in the country Meanwhile the Nigerian Army whose senior officers were honed at Sandhurst and well remember the army in subordinate role will continue to rule and to police the elections General Olusegun Obasanjo the countrys military head of state is Yoruba stern and determined leader while the armed forces chief of staff is Shehu Musa Yaradua Hausa from the north Also among the senior generals and leading jobs in the Nigerian bureaucracy are Ibo offi cers and officials whose early re appointments soon after the Biafran War helped to close the ranks on that bitter episode In the meantime Nigeria as one of the crucial oilproducing countries in spite of all the publicity about Arab oil powers pumps about 30 per cent of its crude for the United States alone and earns $35 billions year from its oil exports Indeed this truly large country cams more money from oil than all the countrys many poorer neighbors can generate together WANT IVILIAN RlLE Whether under elected civilian leadch or more oppressive army ones Nigeria has the advantage not only of size and an earlier experience with democracy but of growing middle class and an historic millionaire class In time they will prefer civilian leaders even with their propensity for corruption to the military ones Interpreting the news South Africans want US apology By AIIIY MCKERCIIER WASHINGTON CPI The recent litfor tat expulsion of military attaches by the United States and South Africa offers clear indication of the level of tension charac terizing relations between the two countries these days In televised news conference late last week South Africas Pieter Botha charged that the 75 had outfitted an embassy air craft as spy plane and had used it to photograph sonic of our most sensitive in stallalioiis The recentlychoscn prime minister demanded an logy from President Carter and expelled rec US military attaches from South Africa The US announced day later it would expel two South African military attaches Although the US did not deny the spying charges it refused to offer any apology While the expulsions were relatively minor affair analysts say the negative at mosphere surrounding relations recently and the testy manner in which the situation was handled may have disturbing implications for the two countries and for the South African controllcd territory of Namibia The discovery of iiitelligencegathering ac tivity carried out by foreign military attache is relatively common occurrence in international relations analysts say Usually however the country which makes such discovery complains through diplomatic channels and the whole incident is settled quictly Botha however chose to make his allegations in primetime news conference He gave the US ambassador to South Africa inly one hours notice of what he planned to
