‘No justification’
for a gas pipeline

Michael Conway-Brown,
Powell River, writes: The B.C.
Utilities Commission hearings (in-
to the controversial natural gas
pipeline linking the mainland and
Vancouver Island — Ed.) are miss-
ing one essential element: project
justification. It is Cheekye-
Dunsmuir all over again — this
route versus that route and soon —
with a blatant refusal from the
Socreds to review publicly the real
question: justification. The hear-
ings can only be a sham.

While the Socreds steadfastly
avoid the number one question, the
feds won’t. They will be looking at
it and any alternatives very critical-
ly. If the line isn’t economically
justifiable (as most economists
agree) how likely are the feds to spr-
ing a half billion dollar capital cost
subsidy? Despite claims by Socred
ministers, the feds have never com-
mitted themselves to any subsidy.

Dr. Margolick’s report and

comments on the economics of the
pipeline ‘‘lemon”’ accurately reflect
most economists views.

Dominic Watson is a former
economist with the B.C. Ministry
of Energy, Mines and Petroleum
Resources. He now writes a col-
umn of analysis for the Financial
Post. In his article ‘B.C. Must Set-
tle Pipeline Issue’’ he finished with
these words: “‘The major issue,
however, is widely understood: the
economics of the project just do
not add up.”’

The political reality is this: Ot-
tawa will decide whether that
pipeline goes through, not the
Utilities Commission, Environ-
ment Minister Stephen Rogers or
Premier Bennett.

Will the closing scene see the
Socreds whining and crying and
fed-bashing if their lemon never
flies?

We may be witnessing a rather
expensive public relations event.

Near-Gilbert record
blends history, styles

LIFELINE. Holly Near and Ronnie
Gilbert with Jeff Langley, Carri Bar-
ton and Susan Freundlich. Record-
ed live in San Francisco. $10.25 at
the People Co-op Bookstore.

It’s a rare pleasure to find one
album that provides both warm,
satisfying music and microcosm of
the last 50 years of the progressive
political and cultural scene of the
US.

Half a century ago, Ronnie
Gilbert, whose mother was a rank
and file activist in the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
and a Communist, was playing
drums in May Day parades and
collecting coins on the street for
refugees of the Spanish Civil War.

Later, of course, Gilbert became
a prominent member of the
Weavers, a folk group that brought
labor songs and works by such
Black artists as Huddie Ledbetter
before a mass audience. The
Weavers suffered, but survived,
the McCarthyite blacklist of the
50s.

Holly Near’s mother worked in
radical theatre in Philadelphia: her
father organized aerospace
workers. In many ways Near em-
bodied the image of the left artist of
the ’70s with her journeys from the
Indochina Peace Campaign to

Barristers & Solicitors”

4th Floor, 195 Alexander St.,
Vancouver, B.C. V6A 1N8

— 682-2781

Offers a broad range of legal services including:
e Personal Injury and Insurance Claims
e Real Estate and Conveyancing:

tours against nuclear power and
weapons and her identification
with women’s music.

Together, the two singer-

“songwriters unite in a thoroughly

enjoyable blend of a proud history
they share with many thousands.

Lifeline, for example, has songs
by Woody Guthrie, Ledbetter,
Violeta Parra (a founder of the
New Song Movement of Latin
America), Earl Robinson, and
Near.It features songs about Har-
riet Tubman, Stephen Biko, the
Spanish Civil War, and women’s
rights. It contains the Weavers’
famed ‘‘Goodnight Irene’’ the
beautiful ‘‘Hay Una Mujer
Desaparacida.”’

Perhaps the philosophy of these
two talented, committed artists is
best expressed in the words of a
haunting meody they sing about
the martyrs Sacco and Vanzetti:

And all who knew these two .

good men — knew they never had
to rob or kill — each had lived by
his own hands — And they lived
well — And all their lives they had
struggled — To rid the earth of all
such crimes — And all our lives we.
must struggle — To rid the earth of
all such crimes.

— Chuck Idelson
