Harvey Barrie UK Tories winning in battle with Labor LONDON rur the first time since the general election last May the British have the opportunity to watch the two big parties Conservative and Labor in action and again the Conservatives are winning The decision of last May when the Conser vatives fashioned majority government over the recumbent form of minority labor govermnent has been evaluated as less pro Conservative motion than an antiLabor ex pression Since then labor has been in conference in Brighton and the Conservatives have been in solemn conclave gathered in Blackpool The Laborites

their time in internal strife The same basic issues face both parties labor unrest immigration inflation unemployment FOUGHT FOR POWER The main news out of the Labor meeting however concerned party infighting Basically it was battle for power between the moderates of former prime minister Jim Callaghan and the leftwing forces of Anthony Wedgewood Bean and when the smoke cleared it was the left wing that appeared to have won Among the Conservatives there was no sign of battle for supremacy The new cabinet ministers rallied around Margaret Thatcher first woman prime minister in British history Nobody was trying to topple her The in dication was that the Conservatives unlike Labor could run not only the country but their party as well If there was one major criticism of the Con servative operation it was that the motions it chumed out were bland However just as the Labor party fought the big unions during winter of discontent which is generally conceded to have led to its downfall so the Conservative party faces mming season of unrest While the Tory party conference could have the appearance of victory rally it will be judged not by the quality of the celebrations but by the tactics it evolves to greet the winter The clear concise message that came from the Labor conference is the same message before the Conservatives deal with union power NW ws THANKS ens art

is quite so irritating to the general public as strike by govemlt ment employees whether they be teachers civ1l servants or bus drivers The problem is the same in every case The union has monopoly on the service being provided If manufacturing plant or service in dustry goes on strike consumer can always shop around for alternatives Private sector strikes are struggle bet ween employer and employees with both sides having leverage During strike or lockout the employer loses his sales and pro fit employees their wages Public sector strikes are more like hostage taking with ordinary citizens being held for ransom In sense the strikers cant lose since they are provrding public service that we must have There is often by law no other sup plier GRIT ANSWER The crux of the matter is power The power of the union to disrupt the lives of ordinary folk versus the power of government to con tinue providing the service And that is the problem with Liberal leader Stuart Smiths call for an end to teachers right to strike He wants the right to strike given in Bill 100m 1975 repealed and compulsory arbitra tion used to solve teacher union versus board of education disputes Queen Park By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO There has been proposal from Premier Davis that some of the windfall oil money that Alberta has been ac cumulating in its Heritage Fund should go in to pool for lowinterest loans for other pro vinces including Ontario It is proposal that should have the support of Prime Minister Joe Clark and well could be accepted by Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed as compromise gesture So there could be some smiling faces in ovemment offices across Canada However mm the public there probably should be frowns First of all because any money that On tario or the other provinces get from this fund will not be manna It will be loan money which will have to be paid back And in the meantime interest will have to be paid on it Interest at perhaps bit iower STUART SMITH wants strikes ended Although not wedded to any one arbitration method the partys favorite for the moment is final offer selection In that system both sides make final of fers and an arbitrator chooses one or the other no splitting the difference But arbitration of any kind rests solely on willingness of both parties to agree to be bound by the results rate than the provinces would otherwise have to pay but still no real bonanza And more important to the public is that it will probably be spending trap TOOK OFF Government has the very human habit that when there is easy money around it is magnificent at finding urgent needs on which to spend it frill program can suddenly become as much necessity to it as an extra television can be to Joe citizen if he happens to have some loose money The recent history of provincial govem ment spending in Canada dramatically il lustrates this In the late 19605 hugh amounts of federal money from the Canada Pension Plan became available to the provinces on request for borrowing at favorable rates of interest There was striking change of course in provincial spending At time when mankind was making breakther in space provincial govem ll JERUSALEM AND SELLINGTHE PAST RECORD Prior to Bill 100 it was illegal for teachers to strike yet there were 28 such disturbances anyway in the three years before the bill passed the legislature There have only been 19 since What Bill 100 did was legalize an already existing situation In sense it became tougher to strike because the unions agreed to play by the new rules which involved long complicated negotiating process prior to anyone hitting the bricks The government had the alternative of en forcing the then existing law prohibiting teacher strikes BREAK STRIKE It choose not to for that would have meant government would have had to use its latent muscle for example by firing the strikers and hiring replacements or fining the unions and their leaders The same situation exists today Smiths plan to ban teacher strikes will on ly work if the teacher unions and their membership agree to let them work If they dont then government would have to get tough and one cant see any govem ment in this province doing that except perhaps with provincial civil servants and certainly not with teachers It should be noted that since Bill 100 almost 900 contracts have been settled without strik ing which isnt bad record And unless government is willing to stamp hard on the strikers well just have to put up with the exceptions I967 spending of $24 billion skyrockets to $15 billion ment started making breakthroufli in spen ding Here in Ontario spending of $24 billion in 1967 doubled to $52 billion in 1971 and has kept it steady acceleration to the $15 billion of ay Our debt rose even more ex travagantly per capita debt of $187 in 1967 is new $1800 Most pertinent is that rior to the late 19605 it had been customary or years for the pro Vince to show slight annual surpluses But since the Canada Pension money became Sgilable there has been steady string of icits As We wno were arouJ in those earlier days know the emphasis in government was to live within its means But when the chea and easy money became available quite su denly this lost its importance Despite arguments to the contrary and some good ones can be made debt is assen tially bad Today for

Soviet combat troops in Cuba concern about new Cuban interventionist role in the Carib bean was viewed as both alarmist and unlike ly Even the victory of the Sandinista rebel ar my in Nicaragua which had been supplied with some Cuban military aid and has some Cubantrained leaders saw moderate views expressed about any kind of Cuban role in the new regime But after the affair of the Soviet combat brigade in Cuba new worries have been aroused that there might be plans for Cuban commitment in the Caribbean Cuba is severely overextended in Africa where about 25000 Cuban troops and techni cians still rate The Russian troop presence in Cu is seen as making up for the difference and giving Havana chance to ex pand Cuban role in its own hemisphere If so the chief worry is over Jamaica where shong socialist and proCuban government under Prime Minister Michael Manley has been using perhaps 200 Cuban technicians in farming public housing and development state medica clinics like those in Cuba Manley who is strong supporter of Fidel Castro has been recent host to other Marx ist leaders returning home from the Havana NonAligned Countries in early September WORLD MARXIST LEADERS These have included Pham Van Dong Premier of Communist Vietnam and Sekou Toure Marxist president of the African state of Guinea since 1958 In Jamaica the opposition Labor Party conservative inspite of its name and its leader Edward Seaga have made strong public accusations about the political penetration of the Cubans in Jamaica Castro took this seriously enough to order public denial from Cuban Ambassador Ulises Estrada Elsewhere in the Caribbean the arrivals of Cuban relief planes in both Managua capital of wartom Nicaragua and Santo Domingo capital of Hurricanedevastated Dominican Republic are rousing new worries in Washington and around the Caribbean How many Cubans abroad are really political experts or intelligence operators is the query now asked with new seriousness If there is plan by Havana to introduce Marxist ideas and methods into these three countries and others Castro and his planners should remember the disastrous Cuban ef forts of the early 1960s to subvert govem ments in the Caribbean basin These were guerrilla and military threats using Cubantrained nationals from such countries as Venezuela Nicaragua the Dominican Republic and Haiti to raise revolutionary movements in their homelands Castro concentrated on Venezuela in the early 19605 because its new experiment with elected social democracy was promising the same benefits to the poor and unemployed as the Cuban Marxist Revolution All these efforts failed even with in pro Cuban groups because the intense na tionalism of Latin American countries out did proCuban intentions No one wanted Cuban ideas before their own for social change and economic reform INCLUDE PUERTO RICO Also of much concern in Washington has been Castros open support of the in dependence movement in Puerto Rico which calls for Cubanstyle system in an island which is part of the United States bible thoughts And they said Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house Acts 1631 Put your faith out there
