from the Soviet lnion is up to nearrecord levels the Soviet Lnion has refused to assure the LRS it will comply with the amendment The Soviet position is that the request for compliance represents an

Thomson New Service If External Affairs Minister Flora Mac Donald wants to put muscle in her threats against countries practicing violations oi human rights and press freedoms and who receive our aid she can start with Pakistan This country under the cruel and fun damentalist Mosleni General Zia iilIIaq has received tens of millions of dollars in Canadian aid and technology since its founding in 1947 Indeed one of the star performances of early Canadian technologyshariiig yyas the Warsak Dam we built in that country major project under the Colombo Plan President ulIIaq is currently carrying out worldwide efforts to secure the required technology to build an nuclear device for potential military use while denying all along any of the fascinating evidence re vealed to the contrary Bill this recent arrival among so many harsh military presidents in Third World countries is the man who hanged former Pakistani President Zulfikar Ali llii Bhutto and has kept his wife and daughter under close house arrest The late Mr Bhutto made mistakes and plenty of enemies But in country prone to Ioslem extremism which General ulllaq is encouraging the late Ali Bhutto was his countrys outstanding moderiiizer CREATE MARTYR As President ulIIaq might have suspected in his harsh way of doing things Ali Bliiilio in death has become mator political marty His Pakistans Peoples Party could easily unseat the present nonelected military regime in cléan and open election This is undoubtedly why the general has reneged on his earlier promise to restore free elections to his country bearing in mind that his 27 monthlong repressive regime came to power through barracks coup Now ulHaq announces that Pakistan will abandon Westernstyle democracy for the Is lamic Republic in which only citizens registered as practicing IIoslems will have the vote What an Islamic Republic means in terms of human rights and press freedoms can be Judged at once from the similar kind ot regime in Iran next door

Colin Campbells critical assessment of the Trudeau goverii ment we might now turn to his analysis of Joe Clarks first few months in office along with his advice for future governments Campbell who teaches politics at York Lniversity was one of those forwardlooking Liberals who was invited to present paper to that recent Liberal thinktank iii Winnipeg And good paper it was defining the four phases of the Trudeau years brokerage politics administrative politics priorities and planning politics and finally survival politics It was he noted common pattern beginning with sweeping reorgaitizatioiial ambitions and ending with fight for per sonal survival Catitpbell was able to draw parallels with the 103762 Diefenbakei ad ministration and withthetS administration of Richard Nixon So what does this Liberal observer think of Joe Clarks first few months in oflice Perhaps not surprisingly he seems to thitik that Clark with his plans for wholesale changes in the administration and the bilieauenicy is off to worst start than Trudeau was IITIIFIIiH Prior to the May 22 election says Camp bell Clark came across as an iron man Cabinet would be reorganized into two tier system the size of the prime ministers oft ice would he sharply reduced mercifully syy ilt massacre would flood the Itideau anal with the blood of senior bureaucrats the federal public service would be cut by 60000 In addition Parliament would be revitalized into more exciting institution tainpiiell questions whether the lOtil cabinet is really ditlereiil than Trudeaus priorities and planning committee which ettectiyely resulted iii twolevel cabinet ndhhe notes that the size of the prime minis ters llll ice has actually increased since Clark assumed power Finally who short of the Ayatollah Khomaim could implement ctifs in any public service amounting to approxi mater 20 per cent As some Cynics noted says the professor the Iark plans revealed ignorance of the art of the possible in Ottawa much more than fresh view it executive leadersltm Editor Thank you for printing the letter by Peter Puck We who have boys playing in that organizar tioii have never seen the truth put so well Over season we pay on an average four or five hundre dollars to have boy play in that league with tournaments and buses We expect in return for our money to have the best coaches in the area to coach them and the best players from our area playing along side them We have neither now That makes for unhappy parents and unhappy kids letters to the editor Clark off to worst start than Trudeau critic says PARLIAMENT HILL Apart from dithering about the iioiiissuc of the decade moy mg the Canadian IIltlitlgt5 to Jerusalem and producing woefully inequitable tavbreak plan liii assist homeowners the Clark government has virtually nothing to sliovy for its first 130 days til office BIC III Ill Draw mg on the mistakes of the past or at least what he perceives to he mistakes Campbell offered this advice to the Liberal party as ll begins to think about forming another government some day No matter how much it is thought that govcriiiiient machinery in otxralional dcparliiients central agencies or cabinet itself is inadequate resist wholesale at leinpts to restructure and above all avoid being identified as systemsorieiited ad ministration Try to avoid the original sin of all governments by iiol raising the voters ex pectations far beyond the realm of the pos sible during the campaign Once in govern ment avoidance of original siii yy ill have per united the government to focus on policies directed to real priorities yyliicli ll adequately carried out will help ll get ic elected He also suggests the establishment of unit of partisan aids to provide the prime minister with policy analysis and iiiielligence on the operations of the bureaucracy Finally Campbell recommends that the Liberal party establish research group to study executive leadership in Canada and other countries with view to putting its rather than the en servants in the lead vv he we form the next government Despite Campbells determination not to repeal errors of the past many of his sugges tioiis have familiar ring ll ill be lit leresting to see vvhellier the Liberal party from advice like this can actually develop tt ilitltiyattH approach to gottiillltitl before the next election Last year only two teams out of abotil It made any showing The reason why too many bad coaches and too many boys who are not good enough to be there holding the others back We have great coaches in the area but if executives will not give them teams because they will no be told before the tryouts what boas io pck as it is don now they insis or pckng boys for talent and that means tha most of the II executives boys and ther buddies would not he pllf htrc Sad bill true Responsible for two posts MacKay takes job in stride Editors Note This interview with Elmer MacKay is another in the series of ilrIICIts concerning new cabinet ministers and their portfolios provided by The Ottawa Bureau of The Thomson News Sery ice second feature deals with MacKays views on regional economic development By SEAN FINIY of The Ottawa Bureali Thomson News Service Its fall day in Ottawa the brilliant colors of an eastern Ontario autumn washing away in rain Its long way from the bright June after noon at Government House when the Clark cabinet was presented to the country III the glare of television lights Elmer MacKay was happy man that June day He had been sworn in as the minister of regional economic development DRICII and responsible for the Canada Mortgage and Housmg Corporation iCMHCi That brief glimmer of Clarks much vaunted open government was long way from Pictou County Nova Scotia dont know whether enjoy it or not replies MacKay carefully when asked if he enioj being cabinet minister Im certainly not complaining he says cowboybooted feet resting on coffee table his long body slumped casually in high backed white easy chair in his office Its job that if find cant do Ill be very happy to relinquish it STARTS FROM SCRATCH lot of people would give their right arm to be in this position But Im one of those fellows who never did take run at it or work towards it and never went in it with the idea of making longvterm career of it Its little early to tell says MacKay how being responsible for two departments is working out Its quite difficult thing to get yourself familiarized or speak with officials and con centrate on some of the fairly complex mat ters involving one of those portfolios and then maybe walk into the next room and try to start changing your recall and your thoughts and searching to see if you have proper understanding of what the other area is all about MacKay admits he started from scratch with both DBEE and MIIC The ironic things about it is that in the last number of years in Parliament my interests were focused in quite differenl areas from the ones am now responsible for If its long way from being sworn in as cabinet minister to actually being one its not that far for MacKay from when he first arrived in ittavva When came up here as an Opposition member had no preconceptions at all of what an MP Iitl came up in byeleetioii May Ill 1971i and came up alone and lust started poking around and gradually thought was getting on to sort of in approach as an Opposition Il Now in effect have to start all over again Being cabinet minister is not easy says MacKay and its job made harder because there are no hard and fast rules about ap proaching the Job REIOIIINIJSSIIEIJS If you tend to be friendly and ap proachable think you have far more pro blems being cabinet minister than if you tend to be cold and remote cabinet minister who can cut people off and reserve time for what he thinks is ab solutely essential toi priorities will have ait easier time than minister who gets involved with people If you get concerned with individual pro bleins or what you perceive to be par ticularly bad injustice or little project that vou think would be awfully nice to see happen then you may have difficulties separating the heat from the chaff think everybridys personality dictates as to how they approach it MacKay hopes this Parliament wont be bitter as the last Parliament was He believes Canadas best interests can be best served if Mls whether cabinet ministers or not can work together If get questions from the Opposition re questing information in going to make sure to the best of my knowledge get that in formation to the MP If cant give it to him there Ill give it to him as soon as can find out bible thought III vyill rigaiil thi IIIi1IlilllltlItNlIllIll aiilliioi despise lIlIll prayei
