Ex-Weaver Ronnie Gilbert (left in top photo) leads workshop in a rousing version of ‘‘The International,”
strong political and social overtones of the 8th annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival at Jericho Beach park last weekend.
With Gilbert are (left to right) Gary Lapow and members of Bright Morning Star in the ‘‘Political Songs in America”
workshop, one of several (including a concert for Nicaragua) that showed the festival's increasing emphasis on labor and
international solidarity themes. Variety also abounded, with music ranging from American stringband through Canadiana
to Eastern Europe. Above, left, Vancouver's Katari Taiko perform ages-old Japanese drum sound; right, Duo Guarda-
barranco make a musical and vocal plea for peace and non-intervention in their native Nicaragua.

NOTICES

Heritage Foundation calling shots?

Richard Clements, Vancouver, writes:
U.S. President Ronald Reagan, in his recent
speech on international terrorism before the
American Bar Association, declared that
the U.S. is “especially not going to tolerate
those attacks from outlaw states run by the
strangest collection of misfits, loony tunes
and squalid criminals since the advent of the
Third Reich.” He also attempted to trace
what he called “the pattern of terrorism”
and implied that Iran, Libya, North Korea,
Cuba and Nicaragua were more or less act-
ing in concert to attack the United States.

Reagan’s latest paranoid frenzy appears
to have been orchestrated well before
the hostage incident — the ostensible rea-
son for his hysterical outburst. In fact a
Story in the New York Times of Nov. 20,
1984, entitled “Conservatives urge U.S. to
aid rebels in nine nations”, reported the
following: “A conservative research foun-
dation has urged the Reagan administration
to adopt a broad new policy of underwrit-
ing anti-Communist i insurgency, including

the use of paramilitary forces to undermine
governments in nine countries that ‘threaten
United States interests.’ The recommenda-
tion is part of a military and foreign policy
agenda drafted by the Heritage Foundation
which influenced the selection personnel
and the shaping of policy during the (Rea-
gan) administration’s first term.

Letters

The article noted that the nine countries
targeted for “unspecified ‘paramilitary
assets’ are Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam,
Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Nicaragua,
Iran and Libya” (my emphasis).

The Times added: “Richard V. Allen,

President Reagan’s former national security

advisor and now a fellow at the Heritage
Foundation, said he believed that the report
‘will have a very significant impact’ on
administration thinking.”

The report also recommends faster
enlargement of the (U.S.) nuclear arsenal, a
refusal to consider arms treaties limiting
space defence systems or nuclear testing and
an end to voluntary compliance with the
second strategic arms limitation treaty
(SALT ID.”

Not mentioned in the Times article was
the Heritage Foundation’s virulent hostility
to the United Nations, a Heritage policy
which made headlines in Canada recently
because of controversial criticism of the
Foundation’s anti-UN position by Cana-
dian ambassador to the UN, Stephen Lewis,
and a harsh counter-attack on Lewis by
Burton Pines, the vice-president of the
Foundation.

According to many Washington obser-
vers, the Reagan administration has, to
date, accepted as many as two-thirds of the
Heritage Foundation’s recommendations
on domestic and foreign affairs and made
them official U.S. policy. Obviously the
ones playing the looniest tune of all in the
present perilous world situation are none
other than the collection of right-wing cra-
zies who cluster in such places as the Herit-
age Foundation and President “Rambo”
Reagan himself.
