Dolman case turned >
‘over to prosecutor

Macdonald last Thursday in
Victoria and presented to him the
collected evidence which indicated
systematic violations of the
Landlord and Tenant Act.

“We believe it is eminently
proper that the attorney-general
has proceeded in the quick fashion
he has,”’ Yorke commented in a
press release announcing the new
developments, ‘‘the successful
prosecution of this case, involving
as it does the executive director of
the B.C. Rental Housing Council
(which claims to represent 100,000
suites) will help to ensure that
other alleged violations of the
Interim Rent Stabilization Act will
also be cleared up. In our opinion,
something like 25% of all existing
rents violate the 8% Rent
Stabilization Act and we have
additional documentary evidence
to back this up. Moreover, suc-
cessful prosecution will help to
ensure that the new 10.6%
allowable rent increase — for 1975
— will also be enforced.”

Yorke stated that the B.C.T.O.
was prepared to lay charges
against Dolman and had made
arrangements to do so last
Tuesday, but the attorney-
general’s announcement — made
in a letter to Yorke — made that
procedure unnecessary.

The matter now rests with F. A.
Melvin, regional Crown counsel for
the Vancouver area. Yorke and
Peter Milne, Dolman’s former
tenant, have supplied Melvin with
an affidavit showing that the
original rent on the house that
Milne rented was $360. Also sup-
plied was a copy of a written
contract Dolman had his tenants
sign some six months after. the
initial occupancy, raising the rent
to $400.

A further affidavit, sworn out by
the current occupants of the house
shows the present rent to be $450 —
a 25% increase over the original

rent.

Yorke pointed out that all the
rent increases were illegal as they
were levied at intervals of less than
a year, were not preceded by three
month’s notice and exceeded the
allowable 8%. The legal rent
should be $360 to this day, he said.

JANE FONDA SPEAKS AT PEACE ARCH

‘We are determined to bring
genuine peace to Indochina’

“We are no. longer simply a

protest movement — we are
determined to bring real peace. to
Indochina.”

That was the message brought to
the Canada-U.S. border by Jane
Fonda, Tom Hayden and David
Harris of the Indochina Peace
Campaign, speaking to a rally in
Peace Arch Park last Saturday,
called to heighten the campaign
against the continuing U.S. war in
Vietnam.

More than 200 people were
waiting as the three, surrounded
by members of the Vietnam
Veterans Against the War and the
Winter Soldier Organization, many
of them in uniform, came across
the international boundary into the
park.

The rally, jointly sponsored by
the VVAW/WSO and the Van-
couver American Exiles
Association, was the only Canadian
stop for Fonda, Hayden and Harris
who had earlier visited Bellingham
to show a film which they had
recently shot in Vietnam.

Speaking of her own com-
mitment to the peace movement,
Fonda said that, until a few years
ago, she had been “‘an irrelevant
movie actress’? who knew little
about the war or the issues in-
volved. After some time in Paris
where she came in contact with
many war resisters and deserters,
she became aware of the
widespread opposition to the
criminal war.

She pointed out that the efforts of
the world peace movement to force
the U.S. and Thieu’s puppet regime
to carry out the Paris Agreements
had bolstered the struggle for
peace within Vietnam itself. ‘““We
must intensify our campaign to end
all financial and military aid to the
oppressive Lon Nol and Thieu
regimes,’’ she declared, ‘‘and
force them to abide by the peace
agreements.”

She condemned the ‘‘Food for
Peace”’ organization, financed and
maintained by the U.S. govern-
ment. “It is not being used for
peace,”’ she stated.“‘It is going to

support Thieu and to build the tiger
cages where’ hundreds _ of
thousands of political prisoners are
being held.’’

Fonda’s husband, Tom Hayden
one of the celebrated “Chicago
Seven,” spoke of the tremendous
changes brought about by the
thousands of people who had
demonstrated their opposition to
the Vietnam war and told the
audience that he was ‘‘very
moved’’ by the number of people in
other countries who had come to
the aid of the Vietnamese people.

He pointed out that campaign for
peace in Indochina would
ultimately succeed in bringing
peace, not only to Southeast Asia
but to the whole world.
_ “The tragedy is that such an
immense number of precious lives
have been lost to bring about the
change.”’ :

Hayden spoke particularly of the
campaign for amnesty for war
resisters and noted that the
question of amnesty involved ‘a
universal principle.’’ ‘‘That
principle,” he said, “‘involves the
right of people to object con-
scientiously to participation in a
criminal war.

“Until there is amnesty — un-
conditional amnesty — the lesson
will not have been learned — that it
was right to resist the draft, to
oppose taking part in an immoral
war,”’ he emphasized.
