CIRCULATION 726 6539 Charles sticks out his royal neck Any chap whos an Oxford grad jet pilot navy commander has way with the girls and who hap pens to be heir to the British throne must have somethingto say Prince Charles did and how Charles blames the bosses read the headlines this week in Britain and around the world The result is the biggest royal uproar since Edward traded in his crown for the woman he loved In point of fact Charles may be quite correct in his contention that callous British management is much to blame for that countrys industrial woes British labor thinks hes right of course In that respect harles statement should win the royal heir points There is however another question Should member of the royal family be speaking out on the issues of the day Longstanding tradition demands royal family members abstain completely from political comment With one hardhitting speech Charles altered that idea completely In England especially labor 15 politics To be candid we admire what Charles has done The fact that he stuck out his royal neck marks him as man who intends to speak his own mind At the same time we cant help wonder what the ramifications might be on our own royal represen tative Its fair bet Governor General Schreyer has few thoughts of his own on the labor question Thumbs up To new booklet called Informaion Barrie that tells

Human Relations course for our children and young adults in our schools Further they should direct the Administrators to withdraw it from our schools for thwith In my opinion this action would reflect the majority view of the citizens of this County and this is what democracy is all about cannot agree with an educa tional authority when it is suggested that parents have opted out of their responsibilities in the training of their children Let the schools get on with their responsibilities and we will carry out ours as we see them at the time we choose and in the manner of our choice The citizens of this County in cluding the school board trustees received their Human Relations teachings and values from their parents in the home in their Sunday schools and in their Church or Synagogue and say the results have justified the means used in our youth Why then should we now permit some new experiment to usurp our responsibility and way of life which has been ours from the

VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumcr Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service There are some travellers who once back home in Canada can make their friends en vious With accounts of holiday land where the climate IS almost always spring like thc scenery breathtaking the hotels clean and comfortablc the food wonderful and the prices generally lower than in anada But when the travellers tell their friends they are speaking of South Africa and its neighbor Rhodesia their frieiids interest often vanishes overcome by accounts of terrorism in Rhodesia and of apartheid in South Africa Its true that two Air Rhodesia passciigcr lanes have been shot down in recent months antigovernmcnt terrorists using sophisticated missiles supplied by Moscow and that other tourists have been killed in Rhodesia in recent years including two young anadians from iiiclpli Nevertheless Southern Africa SIIII has unique appeal to prudent tourists with IIS abundance of nature preserves and such world famous sights as Victoria Falls in Rhodesia and South Africas tapc Point and Garden Route Tourism has indeed fallen off in Rhodesia and those who go there must cxcrcisc degree of prudence The Republic of South Africa however continues to attract large numbers of foreign VISIIOIS TRAVEL TIPS One such visitor to botli countries last month was Queens Park columnist Dcrck Nelson His findings could be useful to any other Canadians contemplating visit to southern Africa He found Rhodesias scenery to bc even more beautiful than that of South Africa and more primitive although the capital Salisbury is big sprawling city of modern hotels and inadequate public transportat ioii He recalls having fullcourse dinner in good Salisbury restaurant for the equivalcnt of $325 featuring ltiouncc filct migiioii Nelson rated Rhodesian steaks as the best he has ever had perhaps bccausc thc mcat is fresh rattler than frozen but he notes that antigovernmeiit terrorists are systematically killing off cattle and deliberately spreading animal disease throughout the countryside Ilc dcscribcs as superb the hotels of Rhodesia operating smoothly and efficiently South Africas hotcls follow an official classification system of onctofivc stars the top rating being international stylc hotels with air conditioning and swimming pools In Nelsons opinion most Canadians would be satisfied with the three lowest categories SCOOPS

again African visit worth the risk at prices ranging from so to $30 day Despite thc popular impression that the races are strictly segregated in South Africa many hotels and their staffs are fully integrated Such hotels are designated as iii tcrnational as opposed to the non international which acccpt guests of only one race Public transportation is integrated in some locations segregated in others Nelson offers this tip for prospective visitors Iimc your trip to South Africa to avoid school holiday periods as at hrist mas Those are the times when South African families pour into the resort areas such as Durban on the Indian Ocean and into naturc reserves such as Kruger National Park Evnii at offpcak periods howcvcr ad vancc rcscrvations are advisable if only for the savings they sotiictimcs make possible One hotel chain in conjunction with air carriers offers double rooms in all of its four star and fivestar hotcls at flat rate of $34 pcr couplc about $4050 anadian with minimum of to nights but in as many of the chains hotels as the tourist wishes to VISII WHATS INCLIDIII That rate includes full breakfast sell serve array of fruit juices fresh fruits many of them exotic to tanadiant and cereals invariably followed by generous servings of bacon eggs potatoes and the like togcthcr wiith baskets of fresh baking And it includes oneday flyin safari to Kruger

later Nelson recommends that the itinerary of visitors to South Africa should lliIllIt modern Johannesburg which is hard to avoid since its the main airport of cntryt the nearby judicial capital of Pretoria the city of Durban with its large Indian and Zulu communities and apc lown the legislative capital with its magnificent sctting dominated by Table Mountain to the rear and the broad expanse

SinoSoviet hatred has eniptcd in border wars along the northern and Siberian frontiers betwcen the two na Itth These have not been minor border clashes but major confrontations between the two ar mies involving perhaps as many as half million troops on either side Dangerous stuff The Russians have sent the Chinese two warnings about their current invasion of ommunist Vietnam Soviet client state in South East Asia The SS does not have full military delciicc alliance with ommunist Victnam only an agreement to comc to its aid if at tacked or threatened with attack Russian military movements were not meant to be taken in the Vietnam vicinity other than warship movements in adjacent waters in part to counteract movements of lS warships The main thrust was meant to come against the loiighiiicse border with the SR the onc contested between the two nations long beforc the arrival of their conflicting om IIIUIIISI systems EGAN II IIIl ISARS The Asian advance of lsarism beginning as far back as the end of the seventeenth century against an ever declining Manchu Empire saw hiiia mainly oil the defensive as lmr pcrial Russia pushed inexorably ahead In modern times the singlctracktd Trans Siberian Railway carried settlers military lllIlIS and the Russian Slavic imperial system to far Iacific terminus at Mukdcii thc latter was technically part of the old Imperial him the vast province of Man churia dominated by the Russians but which they lost in the disastrous RussorJapancse War as sphere of influence The ends of lars and emperors replaced by the initial chaos of emerging communism in Russia laiidlordism and chaotic democracy in China meant temporary end to conflicting land interests deep in Asia But it was not to last The StalinMao pact of 1931 was temporary interlude The his toric hatred bctwcen hincsc and Slav for the control of this part of cntral Asia surpassed what were shortlived common ommunist goals It is hard to explain how Communist Vietnam in her very long struggle against the French and thc Amcricans came to be enemies of tlic ommunist hiiiesc who supplied them for years with weapons food and technical equipment Again part of the reason was another vcrsion of the historic feuds between cultures in Asia this one between Vietnamese and hinesc being far older than the SinoSoviet clash of identities and cultures Bill both have been interlocked in the present feud The ommunist hinese have been IIIIOIIIIHIII against the day when the Russians might move against them And the Russians have far more firepower than the liincsc Who could whip whom in the end is hard to say hina being vast land which in the past has swallowed her invaders NOT VICTOR But victory for Ickiiig in the smaller VltltlilllIOSt war may not be worth it

NEW YORK Pi Prime Minister Trudeaus forthcoming visit with President arter comes at critical time when Chinas adventure may explode into wider war kill chances of new EastWest strategic arms treaty and change the political climate almost everywhere Trudeau and Carter will meet in New York on March at private dinner before at tending concert at Carnegie Hall bringing together some of the top artistic talent in the world The meeting is being billed as an informal one during which the two leaders will discuss the international situation turned topsy turvy by events in Iran and Southeast Asia and CanadianUS relations Chinas invasion of Vietnam is far more dangerous than the overthrow of the shah in Iran because it threatens to involve the Soviet Union Hanois mentor more deeply than providing advisers and arms Violations of borders is commonplace these days by South Africa Rhodesia and Israel among others as part of military self interest and preservation But the Chinese invasion of Vietnam is more than just border incursion due to end any day Its an attack that must have taken months to plan long before the US officially recognized Peking and broke diplomatic relations with Taiwan The Soviet Unions good name as treaty partner of Vietnam is on the line and its doubtful that Moscow will stand by for long without doing more if Vietnam with one of the best trained and equipped armies in the world appears to be on the losing end Neither the Soviet Union nor China wants UN Security Council meeting to discuss the latest threat to international peace most dangerous one because both are nuclear pow ers The Chinese saw thousands of their people persecuted and forced to flee Vietnam after Hanois victory over Saigon and the US in 1975 Vietnam under the rule of Hanoi imprisoned hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese and expanded its domination of Indochina to include Laos and Cambodia The Soviet Union vetoed Security Council resolution last January calling for troop with drawals from Cambodia meaning Viet namese forces who led rebel Cambodians in the overthrow of the Chinabacked Pol Pot government The US now may find that its socalled China card supposedly to be played against the Soviet Union has turned into Chinas ace in the hole The strategy of Chinese Senior Vicelremicr Ieng Ilsiaoping is clearly one of military adventure The Ion er Chinese troops stay in Vietnam without irect Soviet ictaliation the greater the humiliation of Soviet leaders Ieng can perhaps go to the brink if there is no longterm estrangement of the US Ja pan India and the other countries in Southeast Asia who are alarmed by Chinas use of its military power and its debilitating effect on curbing the arms race
