Pbk (GUNDGHITS WWallalillv
brief on drug control

Paul Bjarnason, secretary of
the B.C. Young Communist
League, condemned the Greater
Nanaimo Chamber of Com-
merce brief on drug control as
‘“‘attacking the victims of drug
abuse rather than coming to
terms with social problems of
drug addiction and drug
trafficking in this country.”’

The brief, prepared for sub-
‘mission to the provincial and
federal governments, advocated
among other measures, the
extensive use of wiretapping to
apprehend drug offenders,
increased police powers includ-
ing the right of search without
warrant, as well as capital
punishment for ‘‘convicted, non-
addictive hard drug _ traf-
fickers.”’

“These are police state

methods, reminiscent of a

PAUL BJARNASON

fascist state,’’ Bjarnason said,
“‘and if they are used, could
implicate hundreds of innocent
people. The police would beable
to use them in any instance
under the guise of suspicion of
illegal drug use.”’

Bjarnason also condemned the
Chamber of Commerce attacks
on young people who were
accused in the brief of ‘‘having
no respect for either the laws of
our land or the people who are
employed to enforce them.”’

“‘Let us be very clear,’’
Bjarnason declared, ‘‘the YCL is
opposed to the use of drugs. But
we regard them as a symptom of
a decaying social system which
offers no opportunities and no
fulfillment for young people.
And the Chamber of Commerce
has done nothing to try to
alleviate that situation.

“‘Programs like the one out-
lined by the Nanaimo sub-
mission invariably are directed
against the victims and never
touch the international crime
syndicates who often operate
with the blessing of law enforce-
ment agencies. Nor do drug
control programs ever point the
finger where it should be
pointed: at the U.S. Army
apparatus which has produced
thousands of heroin addicts and
sent them back to the United
States, reminders of the
obscene war in Vietnam.”
