The visit of Louise Patterson, secretary of the New York An- gela Davis Committee, to Brit- ain in March sparked off. an organized defence activity. Prior to that time there had been a YCL demonstration before the American Embassy, protests had been’ sent by the Communist Party General Secretary John Gollan and articles in the press. With the establishment of a national Angela Davis Defence Committee in London, there are now local committees in eight cities. Meetings have been held in 20 cities. Petitions, folders, badges have been produced and are being distributed. Resolu- tions are being adopted on a growing scale and sent either to the U.S. Embassy or to Con- sulates in Liverpool and Edin- burgh — and in some cases to Washington and California. The defence of Angela and the Soledad Brothers was combined at an enthusiastic overflow meet- ing in London’s Central Hall and at a concert in the Mermaid Theatre. Three thousand packed the Hall with several hundred unable to gain entrance. Speakers were Howard Moore, James Baldwin, Penny Jackson and John Thorne. The concert audience heard well-known singers and instru- mentalists. Speakers were Moore, Penny Jackson and Bernadette Devlin, M.P. The concert was organized by the Afro-American Solidarity Committee. During their stay here both Moore and Penny Jackson ap- peared on television and were heard by millions of viewers. Mr. Keith Grant, well known artist,-on the occasion of the unveiling of his latest dynamic and controvesrial sculpture, :Je- dicated to Joan of Arc, said: “I personally wish the work to be accepted as a dedication to An- gela Davis who is a living exam- ple of courage and heroism manifested throughout history by those who have seen clearly the way to a better future and have understood the sacrifices involved.” This new landmark has a mul- ti-faceted dome of perforated steel, pierced and circled by gleaming steel rods, which in a four-minute pattern of color changes—-green, blue, white and red — symbolize the iinal four minutes of Joan’s ordeal at the stake. “Saint Joan finds her modern parallel in the imprisonment and impending trial of Angela Da- vis,” Grant said. : The London Defence Commit- PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1971—PAGE 10 . oa tee is a representative one and sponsors include Philosophy Pro- fessor Wolleim, famous West Indian cricketeer Larry (now Lord) Constantine, trade union leaders Michael McGahey (Scot- tish miners’ president) , E. Mars- den (construction engineers’ president), Alan Sapper (TUC General Council) and Lords Gifford and Milford. The aim is to spread the ac- tivity in defence of Angela Da- vis as widely as possible and to involve sponsors from the broadest possible circles. The Committee feels this represents the wishes of Angela herself, who stated “We must seek out all the doors which still remain ajar, however slight the opening may be ... We must draw the masses into the arena of strug- gle via the mechanism of a broad defence movement. The failure to do so, justified by the claim of ‘revolutionary purity’ - +. Can too easily become a ‘ool in the hands of our adversaries.” The activity in defence of An- gela Davis is in accord with the well-known activities in Britain Over the years in defence of Sacco-Vanzetti, Tom Mooney, the Scottsboro Boys and the Rosenbergs and others (includ- ing the protests 16 years ago against the deportation of John Williamson himself from the U.S.—Ed.). While we are fighting to wrench our country free from the grasp of U.S. imperialism, let us not forget that Canadian monopoly is playing the impe- rialist game in various parts of the world, especially the Carib- bean. We can’t truly defend Canada unless we at the same time defend the victims of Cana- dian imperialism. We reprint here an excerpt from an article by Lennox Pat- rick Keith, headed “The Myth of Canadian Generosity”, which ap- peared in The Carillon (Regina) and has been reprinted in seve- ral other student papers: “At a New Year’s party one inebriated celebrant proceeded to tell me just how generous he and his fellowmen were since they were paying for my higher education. My reply to him was frankly unprintable. But just in case there are others who think that the few students from the Caribbean are responsible for the tight money situation in Canada, I shall take some time to put them straight. “The plain truth of the matter is that Canadian business is slowly milking, the Caribbean islands dry. Furthermore, if pre- sent trends continue, the natives + ee of them all — Lev Yashin By BERT WHYTE The name of Lev Yashin will go down in sports history along with those of Jack Dempsey, Bill Tilden, Willie Hoppe, Babe Ruth, Sonja Henie, Joe Louis, Bobby Jones, Paavo Nurmi, Wilt Chamberlain, Maurice Richard, Suzanne Lenglen, Valery Bru- mel, Red Grange, Bob Beamon and others equally famous. On May 27 in Moscow 100,000 football fans will pay tribute to Yashin, who will be playing his final game before retiring — a match between an all-star world team of players from 11 count- ries, and a Dynamo Squad. Yashin told a large press con- ference that he does not expect to play the full game but will be in action for at least the first half. The “goalkeeper of the cen- tury” was born in 1929 and be- gan his sports career while ‘working as a fitter at a factory in Tushino. He joined the Mos- cow Dynamo junior team in1949, became a spare goalie for the senior squad in 1952 and their ‘first goaltender in 1953. Since then he has played in 326 matches for his club, taken part in four world championships and two European cups, been chosen three times as goalie in an all- world team and in 1963 won the Golden Ball as the best player in Europe. Sport is only a part of Ya- shin’s life. He is a deputy of the Moscow City Soviet and is a student. at the higher-party school under the Central Com- mittee of the CPSU. In 1960 Yashin was awarded the Soviet state’s highest decor- ation — the Order of Lenin.

Since Jacques Cousteau has not built his undersea kingdom as yet, these folks would indeed be in big trouble. “It is estimated that Canadian businessmen have invested close to one billion dollars in the Caribbean—in Guianese bauxite, Bahamas hotels, Trinidad oil, Jamaican minerals, and in banks, hotels, and insurance companies through the islands. These in- vestments bring in close to four hundred million dollars in profits annually. In other words, one million dollars a day or six hun- dred dollars every minute of every day. “O.K. — let us say that 20% profit on investment is reason- able. Clearly this figure of 40% is unconscionable, and there are those who say that is a conser- vative estimate. Men like Taylor of Toronto, and Kramer of Re- gina, have their hands deep in this kind of commercial robbery. Only they call it playing the businessmen’s game. “But this, my friends, is a very ruthless game, where the big boys make the rules, which they change to suit their con- venience. If you play along with Chile stands guard Threatened from outsit! By RICK NAGIN SANTIAGO—As Chile moves to recover its national resources and industries owned at present - by U.S. capitalists, it is working hard to create an international climate of support in case of conflict with the U.S. This was the general conclu- sion to be drawn from a dis- cussion held by Chilean Foreign Relations Minister Clodomiro Almeyda with journalists par- ticipating in “Operation Truth.” Almeyda, 48, is a member of the central committee of the So- cialist Party. A lawyer by pro- fession, he has also worked as on economist and a philosophy professor. Journalists from Western Eur- ope, Latin America and Austra- lia, and this reporter from the U.S., met with Almeyda. Two Concepts Two basic concepts underly Chile’s foreign poljcy, Almeyda said. They are that the present period is one of transition from capitalism to socialism, with each country moving in its own way and at its own time; and, second, that this policy must basically aid the construction of socialism in Chile. them, you are a nice guy, even if your country is being viciously raped. If you don’t play their game, they have nice words for you like ‘Commun ... .’ you know the rest. “The jJatest development is land speculation. Some Canadian businessmen are buying out the land in the island at exorbitant - prices. Naturally the local people can’t compete, and will soon be- come landless in their own country. The only alternative is to throw the damn Canadians and Americans out, before it is too late. “As for other examples of Canadian business, let us take the case of a bottle of rum. It is bought in the islands for one dollar, brought to Canada, dilut- ed and bottled, then sold for six collars. That is a 600% increase and all the extras go into the pockets of Canadian business- men and the Canadian treasury. This is known as having a pre- ferential market. (Ha, ha, ha.)” * * *%* It’s no laughing matter, of course. It’s an exposure of Cana- dian imperialism, which it is the duty of all patriotic Canadians to combat and defeat. sol The youth of the Momsky State Farm in the Yakut SSR va Far North) singing “Oleni” (Reindeer) at a holiday dedicate?” coming of spring.
