out many of the remaining Social rcdit strongholds and the Conservatives would perhaps pick up one or two of the seats Willi wavering support in other parts of Canada the Liberals have been banking on virtual sweep of Quebec NOW lNSlRE But that was before the remnants of Social rcdit began wooing Fabien Roy And if he decides to take on the leadership of thr party its difficult to predict just what might hap pen in Qucbcc He should not be under estimated Roy is 31 an unwavering Quebec nationalist who surprised everyone in the 19703 provincial election by running under the banner of the Popular National Party We all know where newpa rt candidates tend to end up But the unilmgual Roy operating in the largely rural Rcaucc riding not only got hint self elected he had the biggest majority of any legislative member And since thcn he seems to have emerged as one of the most popular politicians in the province XIStllllg his nationalistic goals with fierce in dependence As the only opposition member to vote for the controversial language bill Roy has made many friends in tlic Parti Qucbccois There has even been suggestions that the PQ might offer him the use of some clcctoral machinery if he decides to transfer his nationalistic fervor to Ottawa The ramifications of this could be great Even some Liberals reluctantly admit that Social Credit could conceivably increase its strength in the province undcr Roy perhaps sharing the balance of power in Parliament with the New Democrats This has happened before when the oratory of Real aoucttc was largely responsible for bringing 26 Social Credit MPs tottawa in 1962 N0 DECISION Roy hasnt yet made decision on whether to resign his legislative seat and move into federal politics but he is likely to do so That announcement of parallel campaigns was clearly designed to make the transfer more appealing to Roy who would have had ob vious difficulties with Frenchonly carn paign in the West Under the new arrangement he could remain in Quebec stumping the country with his shrill voice appealing to all Quebecers to send newlook Quebec nationalists to tawa Willi Parti Qucbccois cooperation he could mount fierce campaign offering Qucbcccrs their first clearecut constitutional options in federal election Social Credit people in Ottawa say that both the Liberals and Conservatives are urging Roy to remain in Quebec City

senior Communist Chinese officials during the recordsizc Canadian trade fair in Peking in 1972 that he could not tell from the group in front of him who was the decisionmaker The procedure is for the visiting foreign team seeking business to sit down at the same long table with team of Chinese government officials all dressed in the same ubiquitous Mao jacket or in summer time the same opennecked white shirt Accordingly the Chinese group looks like an entity to the visiting foreigners especially if they are new to China The Chinese official who does all the talking asks all the questions may not be the leadcr of the Chinese buying team In fact the man who says yes on the contract may say nothing at all during such session Nor is their any special Chinese priority of place during such meetings where West erners usually place the teain leader at the end or in the middle of the table The Canadian executive in question did very well nevertheless selling $15 million of specialized nickel products to the appropriate state corporation WHO WAS THAT MAN But as he said if met the hinaman who said yes to my offer in the hotel or on the street the next day wouldnt be able to tell him from the hundreds of others around That official was lucky He won an early approval to his sales pitch What almost always happens is that the semianonymous committee disappears into the vast bureau cracy of Chinese government agency and the Western team has long gone home to wait for the results These long and very frustrating delays often the result of more than one visit of the kind outlined are only part of the very very slow process of winning business from Peking Cndoubtedly part of the reason for long Chinese delays in their present phase of seeking billions of dollars of new technology is that senior Chinese officials are assessing their ability to pay for all these The Chinese economy is still primarily agrarian in spite of the several thrusts into heavy industry shipbuilding and nuclear presence This means the Chinese must rely primarin on farm and related products for arningcapacity lhe hinesc have never borrowed from the major international banks in the West nor belonged to them Hut this too might change as the Pcking officials determine whether they will borrow to help pay for their import needs In short the normal and traditional hinese methods of delay and procrastination on signing contracts with outsiders might be accentuated even further as they determine the extent to which they can pay for their many new needs There are Signs the Chinese might even rcnege on deal which they rarely do as has lvipjwiied with 525 billion contract with large Japanese concerns to build new steel mill and pctrorclieiiiical plant in the Shanghai region DI NONSELLERS Since we lcd most of the ack by recognizing the Peoples Republic China in ictober 1970 about 40 Canadian trade mis sions have been tothma But our foreign trade figures show most of these have returned or have waited mainly empty handed interfieting the news Law could end hunt for Nazis Hy CATHY MCKERCIIER WASHINGTON Pi debate opening next week in the West German parliament on abolishinga longstanding statute will attract worldwide attention particularly from survi vors of Nazi concentration camps The debate deals with proposed legislation to abolish West Germanys 20year statute of limitations on prosecutions for murder part of the German legal structure since 1851 Un less the statute is revoked or extended Nazi killers not detected by Dec 31 could forever escape trial for Second World War crimes West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and other officials have predicted that the Hundcstag will decide to abolish thc statute of limitations on murder but only after lengthy debate that will likely dig up memories of wartime atrocities The period for prosecuting Nazis who participated iii the murder of six million Jews and millions of other people before the war ended in 1945 has been extended twice by West Germany But as the expiration date for beginning new prosecutions approached those seeking another extension or an abolition encountered more opposition than in the past Those supporting the proposed abolition legislation including members of almost ev cry political party in the country argue that because almost 35 years have passed since the end of the war there is little chance of finding reliable evidence to convict suspected murderer Ihat argument has been losing popularity in recent months in part apparentl because of television show broadcast in January DISCOVERED INCREASE After the televising of the series the Holocaust US production about the Nazi campaign to eradicate Jews public opinion poll found 28peroent increase in the number of West Germans who feel there should be no time limit on the prosecution of Nazi murderers
