Letters to
the Editor

Toa the Editor,

I was very disappointed that Iwas unable to participate
in the Friday night mecting with Alcan. This disap-
pointment was shared by the numerous people who could -
not enter the arena banquet room. It is unfortunate that
simultaneous meeting was not planned in Kitimat so that

the large contingent from our sister town would have been: -

spared the long drive and seats could have been available
for Terrace area residents.

In my subsequent discussions with the lucky few who did
enter, most were of the opinion that few questions were
actually answered. Perhaps, the most significant questions
should be compiled and re-submitted to Alcan and
simultaneously released through the media. This would be
most beneficial in truly evaluating the proposal and giving
substance to a public debate. The key element of the such
discussion, in the minds of many, centres on the concept of
‘development’.

Currently, in B.C. we have a. major. surplus. of. hydro.

electric : power: Further; dur - production’: of “primary "* borrowing” costs may'rise.

resources ia almost complethly export-oriented... OF course, 4:

we also have a major surplus of skiHed labour, The only |

factors that are missing to provide for secondary industry
and ecoénomic diversification is investment capitol and
political leadership.

We have, in fact, a very widerdeveloped economy. Itis a
classical case of ‘structural’ underdevelopment. To mature
into a stable full employment region we must pull together
our natural advantages and begin to produce goods for
domestic consumption in addition to export. This must be
complimented by a vigorous agricultural sector that would
allow us to feed ourselves.

Currently, we are in the insecure position of many Third
World countries who are dependent upon resource sales to
advanced nations. We are also dependent upon other
nations for our supply of consumer goods and food. ‘The
consequences of this dependency is well known in Terrace,
Our depleted forest base, so completely dependent for sales
on factors beyond our control, has teft too many citizens in
an extremely vulnerable position - too often unemployed,
frustrated and hungry.

Would increased production of ahiminum ingots assist us
in developing our economy. Ultimately,.the answer is .
probably not. In fact, Alcan’s proposal could further add to
- our dépendency by harming both the existing fishing and
agricultural sectors, We have been told, by Alcan, that this
would not be the case. We are forced to trust their
judgement. Unfortunately, this blind trust must be tem-
pered by past actions such as their contempt for Canadian
courts in 1980, If you recall, Alcan refused to release water
necessary to preserve fish stocks. How they avoided legal
action has not yet been satisfactorily answered.

One can suspect that Alcan is much more interested in
responding to Alcan’s interests than it is to the public good.

If they truly wished to be a good citizen, they would be
proposing a cold rolling mill, an extrusion plant and-or a
combination of aluminum based industries. They would
also be very supportive of Frank Howard’s proposal for our
Aluminum Development Council,

- Further, lf we had an intelligent provincial goverament,
it would be seeking ways to market northwest coal in B.C.
itself or determining which secondary industries should be
developed to process the grain methanol, pulp, wood
products or metals and minerals that we 50 willingly sell to
others for production, It would also be adequately re-

stocking our forests and re-inforcing our fishing and -

agricultural sectors.

Hopefully, Alcan’s proposal will prove to be positive in
stimulating a true debate on development. This requires —
forums which are very: much broader than Friday’s effort;
Given the attitude of the province, Alcan and the small
business sector, this work. will only ‘be accomplished
through our own efforts, We must transcend the narrow
interests of those who would prefer to exclude discussions of
our real long-term interests, =

“Sincerely,

i Paul Johatan

Rape victim’ S name revealed

FALL RIVER, Masa, (Reuter) — Despite a ong tradition :

of protecting rape victims’ Identities, at least five news

organizations have published or broadcast the name of the:

victim in the sensational Big Dan's Tavern gang rape case.

The organizations, are being sharply criticized. -by-

“women’s groups, a Massachusetts prosecutor-and other
media executives. Critics contend using the woman’s name

has caused her added pain andi argue that other women now:

” may be less likely to report. rapes for fear of publicity. -

Ronald. Pina, district attorney for Bristol County, : said
publication of the victim’s name amounted to “the second’
rape” of the 22-year-old woman. . -

The rape case has been in the headlines since last March :

when the woman told police she had been raped repeatedly.
ori a pool table in Big Dan's Tavern in New. Bedlord 28. har.
patrons cheered.

‘Her name was first ‘made public in live television’ ‘and .
radio broadcasts from the Fall River courthouse at the.

start’ of the trial Feb. 23.
Broadcasts from courtrooms are “permitted under
recently enacted state rules.

Superior, Court Judge . William Young : forbade’ “the:

cameraman to focus on the victim when she took the stand,

but did allow him to record her voice while focusing the
- camera: elsewhere,

CARRIED LIVE

The broadcasts are being carted live.by Colony Com:
munications, a cable television system which reaches 44,000
homes in and around the woman "8 home. town of New
Bedford.

Several hours of live broadcasts have: been carried by
WSEM, a radio.station serving the’ ‘woman's ‘home ‘town,

: and by Cable News Network, which ‘reaches r more than, a5 .

million homes around the country.
After the victim’s name was spoken repeatedly by

lawyers during these broadcasts, two area newspapers, the:

‘Providence Journat and the Fall River Herald, decided
their policies against naming’ the victim. were moot and
began printing the name in news accounts. ‘

WLNE-TV in, Providence, RL, ‘carried ‘not ‘only ‘the

woman's name, but algo 8 videotape of her emerging from -

the courthouse trying to hide her. face with her coat.
Pina and the Rape Crisis Centre in Providence ‘called
identification of the victim ‘a betrayal, _elting the
longstanding media. -practice of shielding rape victims. °
Pina said thé woman had hoped to continue living in her
home town without always being remembered ‘as “the
victim in the sensational rape case."

Jean _ Collins, vice-president ° of the. ‘National
Organization of Women in Washington, said printing rape
victims’. namey could make women: less likely. to. report
rapes, make rapists less fearful of belng caught, and thus
increase the number of rapes. kg

Cable News spokesman Judy Borza said o once e the enetwoik

decided to broadcast live from the courtroom, little could be |

done to delete the victim's name as it was spokeri during. the

proceedings.

Other news executives who carried the liye reports made
similar comments. - _

‘Chailes Hauser; execiitive: “editor of the Providence
Journal, said he would not have printed the woman’s name

 ifithadnot already been broadcast. He said that, except for

this case, he would stick to the rule of not identifying rape
victims.

Dave Layman, managing editor uf WLNE-TV, on the:
other. hand, contended that the, victim should be: both

photographed and named, —-

It is ‘a simple matter of teiress,” he said, aince the six.
defendants in the case are identifled and photographed.

Layman said his position: has prompted 300 angry
telephone calls to the station, the biggest outery against any
news story in the station's history, 7

Bank rate jumps again

The Bank of Canada rate jumped Thursday to its highest .

level in 14 months, and’ there. is, Stowing, epee! that.

The ceatral biink ite edged lip to'1
10.04 last week and the highest level s
192".

- Economists are also conicerned that the rise in the bank

rate is occurring as economic growth is slowing, as shown |
. in gross national product figures released this week by

-Statisties Canada.

While the latest rise in ‘the: bank. rate isn't expected to
‘push up short-term lending. rates immediately “for
businesses and consumers, it also doesn't fully reflect the _
increased pressures being placed ‘on interest, rates in North °
’ America.

Those pressures are, ‘most intense i in n the United States, a

where huge budget deficits and growing corporate demand
‘for credit are squeezing financial markets: and: Pushing.
rates up.

In Canada, the central bank i is irying to: resist much of
that upward pressure, but it can’t resist it completely or
indefinitely, analysts say.

The most disturbing prediction about rates comes from

Wall Street economist Henry’ Kaufman, who.says rates |

could come close to their. previous highs -- levels which
were blamed for pushing the world Into the deepest ©
recession ‘in half a century.

Many observers are predicting a jump: of between one |
and two points in the current 11-per-cent Canadian prime -
- rate by the end of the year. And mortgage rates, now

running hetween 10.25 per cent and 12.75 per cent for bet-
- ween one-and five-year terms, could also move higher...
