Whatever the outcome of next week’s
election, a voice for working people will
be needed to continue the struggle. That
Voice is the Pacific Tribune.

To broaden our readership we count
on each and every reader to be an active
Salesperson for the Pacific Tribune. If
you are already a subscriber why not buy
a subscription for a friend, relative or
neighbor? The investment will be well
worth it, and not only in political terms.
For every new One-year subscription
sold, you will receive, for only one dollar
more, a copy of our anniversary publica-
tion, “Fighting Heritage — Highlights
of the 1930’s Struggle for Jobs and Mil-
itant Unionism in British Columbia,” an
informative book which focuses on the
historical development of B.C.’s labor
movement and includes the history of the
Pacific Tribune as labor’s Paper.

This offer is limited to the duration of
the Readership Drive, so hurry and take
advantage of it.

The slogan “Buy a sub — sell a sub”
rings true for reaching our ultimate goal
of making our Teadership grow by
500 — not an easy task, but an achiev-
able objective with a little commitment
and collective effort.

Next week — more about the people

behind the scenes in our mailing depart-
ment.

U.S. plane ‘on CIA mission’

went to Honduras, then skirted Nicaragua’s
Pacific coastline, crossed Costa Rica on its
way into Nicaragua where it was shot down.
Only authorized U.S. government person-
nel could conduct such an operation,” he
explained.

The Nicaraguan government has offi-
cially protested to the U.S., amidst denials
by the CIA, State and Defence departments
and Reagan himself, that the captured
American, Eugene Hasenfus, 45, was carry-
ing out an officially-approved operation.

But Hasenfus’ documents identified him
as a member of the U.S. military advisory
group in El Salvador. He has admitted mak-
ing several similar supply flights before and
his wife, Sally, told the press her husband
“worked for the CIA.”

“We have every right under the Geneva
convention to bring Hasenfus to trial,”
Valle-Garay explained, noting that Nicara-
gua has agreed to permit the U.S. consul in
Managua to speak to the prisoner, as well as
having agreed to return the bodies of two
other Americans shot down in the C-123 to
the U.S.

“These men aren’t freedom fighters,”
Valle-Garay said. They’re paid $3,000 to
$4,000 per flight. They'd kill their own
mothers for that. They are criminals sent to
help kill innocent people, and Hasenfus will
be tried for these crimes.” He noted the
irony of American citizens dying for Rea-
gan’s policies in Central America while their
government in Washington denies all
responsibility.

The consul-general described as “‘incred-
ible” Reagan’s likening the assorted bands
of mercenaries and so-called “private citi-
zens” working with the contras to the
American Abraham Lincoln Brigade which
fought fascism in Spain in the 1930s. Rea-
gan had earlier likened the contras them-
selves to thesU.S. founding fathers.

“The American public can’t be that
ignorant,” he said.
