functions in such way as Clark will not want to change my posting In several efforts at constitutional reform the Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau stressed bringing the constitution technical ly an imperial law of the British Parlia ment home to Canada But agreement was often blocked by disagreements on pro cedures for amending the new constitution Flynn said Repatriation of the constitu Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and Consumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service The recent successes of conservative governments at the polls in Canada the United Kingdom and elsewhere is generally taken as proof that voters want to stop the growth of Big Bureaucracy The horror stories about persecutions carried out by bureaucratic tyrants are legion and the annual reports of Canadas auditorgeneral are neverfailing source of revelations of irresponsibility in public spending Naturally opposition to the cutbacks has come from the unions of public off iceholders and also from those

rejects recent pro posals some of which the Liberals adopted to allow greater provincial representation on the Supreme Court of Canada WINDOW DRESSING This would involve nothing more than cosmetic surgery he said because the judges would still have to apply current con stitutional law Judicial interpretation would remain basically unchanged Flynn also the government leader in the Senate said he

capital punishment which some Tories played up during the May 22 election campaign Flynn said he voted in favor of abolition when the bill was sent to the Senate during the last Parliament The government will not table legislation to reintroduce capital punishment but if private members bill raises the issue Con servative MPs will be allowed to vote ac cording to their conscience he said Years of waste weeks of thrift Even former Ontario Ombudsman Arthur Maloney whose earlier political activities were in support of the Progressive Con servative party is afraid that important principles and safeguards of individual rights and liberties may be sacrificed on the altar of budgetary restraint MOVING RIGIIT Maloney speaking to the annual con ference of the Canadian Institute of Char tered Accountants in Toronto commented There appears to be definite shift to the right and feeling in the community that government should play smaller role in the economic life of our society and that we should rely on our free enterprise system to increase wealth and the well being of the community It is almost certain that government will react to these factors by attempting to reduce spending This will likely be accomplished by cutting back and in some cases cutting out many public programs Those programs that survive will be under considerable pressure to operate more efficiently and less expensively Maloney contended that there have already been attempts to strip away fundamental freedoms in the interests of efficiency and budgetary restraint citing 1976 federal proposal to put severe limits on the right of an accused person to trial by jury If in fact there are any attempts to save taxpayers money by restricting fundamental freedoms those attempts should of course be suppressed The Trudeau government showed little interest in reducing expenditures or even In reducing the growth rate of expenditures until about year ago Then it suddenly slashed away at several highly visible and useful programs while ig noring major areas of waste in public spending That has set an example for other levels of government Ontario to save $50000 has withdrawn its financial support of one communitys radio newspaper for the blind In June 1977 the director of investigation and research for the Combine Investigation Act initiated hearings on the question of whether the telephone monopoly should continue to own manufacturing subsidiary In its leisurely coastlocoast hearings since then at what must be considerable expense the investigators have listened to 132 wit nesses some of them several times and compiled 23556 pages of evidence in 157 volumes But as the investigators prepare to journey from Ottawa to Vancouver yet again no end is in sight The utility itself hasnt yet been called upon to make submission As Arthur Maloney rightly pointed out individual rights must not be abridged in the name of budget restraint BUSINESS 7266537 7PVi8rrt 11 as

WELL JOE GUESS vou COULD SAV THE ARABs ARE GIVING ME 4f Parliament Hill By STEWART MacLEOD Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service When Tory MP Don Blenkarn wrote that scathing letter to the president of the National Indian Brotherhood just assumed it was one of those onceinalifetime exer cises in misjudgment and that in future Mr Blenkarn would be model student in the Conservative classroom It seems underestimated this enthusiastic MP from Mississauga South Blenkarn it would appear is bit of free spirit And Prime Minister Joe Clark whose party has healthy tradition of attracting free spirits is obviously going to hear great deal more from the Mississauga lawyer during the forthcoming session of Parliament This of course is great news for those of us who like we want your opinion Something on

Amen Fred Prince Kim Pattenden watching free spirits in action Looking back on that letter Blenkarn wrote to Noel Starblanket the president of NIB suppose we should have realized this was more than an isolated incident Any MP who would tell an Indian leader that am damn tired of your screaming is obviously de monstrating certain streak of in dependence He also posed this rather pomted question to Starblanket Is there something mentally deficient in your attitude NOT USLAI think we can all agree that this is not the type of questionnaire you normally expect from politician Cabinet ministers fell over themselves in an effort to explain that Blenkarn was not representing party policy that he was speaking as an individual that he had no business writing that letter that he would be taken aside and lectured etc etc Thats the last time we would hear from Don Blenkarn we thought But the guy seems irrepressible He has now presented Clark with the considered viewpoint that his pledge to move the Canadian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is bloody stupid idea The fact that some of us agree with that assessment is beside the point its not the type of support any prime minister would solicit from his own backbenches And Blenkarn didnt stop there as he at tempted to keep his constituents informed of the latest developments in Ottawa In newsletter to his 80000 voters he also said that the government is wrong in enforcmg trade sanctions with Zimbabwe RhodeSia and he also said Canada is wrong in cur tailing trade with South Africa because of its apartheid policy But

IVIKTJNVI Mississauga South MP free spirit around the promised embassy move about the last thing Clark needs is an outbreak of internal dissention STRONG REACTION As Blenkarn probably knows by now there is very little one can say about Jerusalem without generating enormous reper cussionsmWhen Clark promised to move the embassy he was embraced by Israel and almost excommunicated by the Arabs And when it was thought he might suddenly reverse his field the opposite reaction began surfacing His only recourse wasto appoint Robert Stanfield as an ambassadoratlarge to study the matter further At least this would delay any decision In the meantime he hoped everyone would keep calm and quiet What he didnt need was Blenkarn writing to his constituents to ex plain the embassy move as an obvious election ploy that didnt work On the face of it there is nothing par ticularly outrageous in that observation but as Clark learned earlier there are some things you just cant say No sooner did Blenkarn write his newsletter than Phil Givens president of the Canadian Zionist Federation labelled him incoherent eccen tric and neurotic And Laurie Shenkman chairman of Toronto Israel Bonds Commit tee said Blenkarn was submitting to Arab blackmail Again the prime disassociated himself from Blenkarns viewpoint and he has promised to have chat with the troublesome chap But am not sure it will do much good While the Tory party has tradition of harboring these free spirits there is another party tradition which must be considered No party leader has ever been able to tame them Blenkarn suspect

concern about Cuba in the Soviet orbit which has escalated again over the crisis of regular Soviet troops in that country extends to the proCuban and proRuSSian leanings of nearby Jamaica In that country socialist Prime Minister Michael Manley is racing against time which means the next national election to complete his program of major socialization of his islands economy But in the process Jamaica has undergone severe economic decline drain of entrepre neurs and middle managers and hard guideline set by the International Monetary Fund for standby loans As traditional investments from the United States Canada and Western Europe dry up in the face of nationalization policies Manley has looked to Eastern Europe and even Cuba for assistance Indeed one of the most controversial foreign policy directions of Mr Manley has been his intimate relations with his close neighbor Fidel Castro Cuba technicians are in Jamaica assisting in such rural projects as farm housing build ing basic schools and the formation of para medical teams HOW DANGEROUS PRESENCE But the US State Department and CIA are concerned about another alleged Cuban presence Cuban intelligence operatives claimed to be in the very large Cuban Em bassy in Kingston the countrys restless and tacky capital city If so are they in Jamaica to extend CubanSoviet activity which could spread in time to other Caribbean nations facing the same deep economic troubles which plague Jamaica Indeed Jamaicas 21 million people share all of the Caribbean regions classic and unre solved problems rising unemployment population explosion brain drain and limited resources The Cuban model is impressive to many throughout the area because of Castros admitted successes in mass literacy cam paigns and the end of high unemployment good basic nationwide housing and the em phasis on indigenous values of the country Edward Seaga the leader of the official opposition in the Jamaican Parliament has made accusations of Cuban military presence in his country by using documents to prove Cubans have even penetrated the Manley government along with small selection of Soviet agents Seaga is cool disturbingly precise man former cabinet minister himself sociologist by training and representing one of the toughest constituencies in the island Mr Seaga would be very different leader from the charismatic Michael Manley be cause he is committed to major undoing of the present Prime Ministers socialist pol icies CORRECT 0N CUBA The opposition leader is currently basking in the righteousness of his accusations against the Manley government because of the importance of the new Cuban Am bassador to Kingston He is Armanda Ulises Estrada former deputy head of the Americas Bureau of the Cuban Cabinet Interpreting the news Cambodians know hunger NEW YORK tCP The interplay of world politics is becoming the politics of starvation for the people of Cambodia While world sympathy concentrates on the boat people of Indochina little is being done for the sick starving countrymen they left behind Cambodia once prosperous self sufficient neutral country has been ravaged by 10 years of war The countryside was devastated by massive United States bomb ing between 1969 and 1973 and further destruction and disruption came with the overthrow of Lon Nols government by the in surgent Khmer Rouge The genocidal policies of the Pol Pot regime are still being documented but Cana dian diplomats have painted picture of savage deportations and death There has been more fighting this year bet ween the Pol Pot forces and the Vietnamese Vietnam controls sizeable portion of the country but other sections are held by forces loyal to Pol Pot For the people the constant fighting has meant destitution Arable land has been abandoned with peasants driven off or killed Administration and order have largely col lapsed The starving people are caught in political bind China which supports Pol Pot refuse to recognize the new government in stalled by Hanoi The US and the Soviet Union refuse to recognize Pol Pot MUST HAVE CONTROL The Chinese and the Pol Pot regime have told foreign officials that sending aid through Hanoi would mean tacit recognition of the new government and the Vietnamese occupa tion The Vietnamesesupported Heng Samrin government insists it must control relief ef forts The US says it is willing to offer help but it recognizes neither government as represen tative of the Cambodian people The UN and the Red Cross are left holding the bag They are faced with trying to operate an aid program in wartorn country with no effective distribution system or ad ministrative structure Vietnam is making some effort to get food into the country but it is suffering from shor tages itself and is bound to aid its own people before giving aSSistance to the Cambodians With their crops destroyed by this years fighting and with thousands driven off the land
