DPT DP LR « "et Canada, A Double Dealer It's not pleasant to think of Canada as a double dealer im the field of international politics, but when it comes to @ question of oppression in southern Africa there is little doubt that our government speaks with a forked tongue. We say we deplore apartheid yet we pour invest- ment dollars into the country and even spend public money to advertise the oppor tunities for capital gains in Namibia. Similarly we are horrified at the tales of atroci- ties in Angola and Mozabique but are easily fobbed off with that these are internal matters between Portugal and her overseas provinces. And so we sit at the NATO tabie with the agressor and remain silent. Recently our Prime Minister made representations to Mr. Edward Heath deploring the fact that Britain sells arms and frigates to South Africa to "defend the Cape Sea route against Russian warships." Yet Canada herself sells parts for repairing guns to Portugal. Mr. Trudeau admits that Canada's policy is inconsistent and says: "We should either stop trading or stop condemning." Recently four Canadians authored a Black Paper and made constructive suggestions for the improvement of Canadien policy towards southern Africa. They are Prof. Cranford Pratt of the University of Toronto, Or. Garth Legge of the United Church, Board of Worid Mission and two former CUSO volunteers, Richard Will- iams and Hugh Winsor. So far their suggestions have had 2 disappointingly cool reception in Ottawe. There are many non-military ways for Canada to help the oppressed countries. The Black Paper, for instance, suggests an investigation into the economic involvement of our country with southern Africa. With a possible termination of present trade agreements - even at the risk of reciprocal treat- ment for Canadian goods. We may not be the biggest or most influential nation im the world but it's a sorry day for Canada if we can't survive without such doubtful favors. Board of Social Services United Church of Canada Keep Your Bike Safe The Ontario Safety League reminds you that now's the time to get your bike in good operating condition for Spring.
