Sorporate interests.

The junta rationale was that
months before the coup, the Un-
idad Popular government had
ceased to be legitimate because
of its alleged “unconstitutional
activities” of politicization with-
in the military and supposed
arming of workers and peasants.

Among. the others: sentenced
was Erich Schnake, also a mem-
ber of the central committee ‘of
the Socialist Party, who received
life imprisonment, and retired
air-force General Sergio Poblete
Garces.

The only woman tried, Maria
Teresa Wedeles, was given 300
days in jail.

Protests at the horrendous
sentences handed down have
come from all around the word.
On August 3, 24 U.S. Congress-
people wired a plea to Santiago
demanding that the executions
be stopped. Among the signa-
tories were Senators James
Abourezk, Harold Hughes, Ed-
mund Muskie, John Tunney, and
20 members of the House. More
names are expected.

In Canada, attempts are being
made through organizations of
solidarity with Chile and the
churches to obtain a protest
statement and plea to halt the
executions from external affairs
minister Mitchell Sharp.

Ambatielos free
in Greek amnesty

The many friends of Tony Am-
batielos in Canada were de-
lighted to hear his voice on the
CBC Radio Program, As It Hap-
pens, on July 31. The leading
Greek Communist had been re-
leased the previous Friday from
a junta prison in which he had
undergone’ severe tortures. He
did not think there was an im-
mediate danger of the return of
the junta, but warned that the
people must be on guard. “I'm
sure the police still have an eye
on my _ house,” he said. He
spoke with deep pride of the
Greek people, especially the
youth. He had seen many young
people just released carrying
signs of torture on their bodies,
but “full of vigor and love for

democracy.”

Blood is still flowing in Cyprus as
grave difficulties continue to stand in
the way of establishing and enforcing

a. cease fire as ordered by the United
Nations Security Council last week.

The leader of the Soviet delegation
has explained that the agreements
negotiated in Geneva between repre-
sentatives of Great Britain, Greece and
Turkey, on which the cease fire order
was based, had taken place in a restrict-
ed circle from which the representa-
tives of the legitimate government of
Cyprus, headed by Archbishop Maka-
rios, had been excluded. In other re-
spects, the Geneva Declaration, Malik
pointed out, is contrary on a number
of points to the original security coun-
cil resolution of July 20 which called
for the immediate cessation of foreign
military intervention against the Re-
public of Cyprus and the withdrawal
without delay of foreign military forces
from its territory.

Kenora park still occupied

Malik denounced “those wh i
by their manoeuvres to diester te
independence of Cyprus in order to
strengthen the strategic position of
NATO and who want to present the
United Nations with the accomplished

fact of partition of the island.”

The Soviet position has been
supported at the UN by pet = ad
sides, representing the legitimate gov-
ernment of Cyprus and by the delegates
of ne India and Yugoslavia.

It is apparent to observers t
drive to destroy the ick eae
Cyprus and to partition the island in
one way or another represents the
latest threat to detente from those
forces in the United States, Britain and
other NATO countries who are moving
heaven and earth to keep the Cold War
going. It is clearly of the. utmost im-
portance that peace-minded Canadians
demand that the Canadian government

Demands met with silence

By HAROLD DYCK

‘KENORA — Approximately
150 Indians have occupied Park
Anicinabe, an 80 acre recreatio-
nal area in the town Kenora.
Members of the Ojibway War-
rior Society and the American
Indian Movement, the occupa-
tion force consists overwhelm-
ingly of local. residents, plus a
few A.I.M. members from the
United States. The most notable
is Harvey Major, who served as
Security Director in the Wound-
ed Knee occupation last year.
He is fulfilling the same func-
tion in Kenora.

The park itself, set aside for
Indian use by a 1929 treaty, was
sold illegally by the federal gov-
ernment to the town of Kenora
in 1959. The Ojibway Warrior
Society maintains that this is
still Indian land.

The demands of the Society
go far beyond a land claim, how-
ever. In negotiations with the
government they have put forw-
ard a position paper for discus-
sion purposes covering: employ-
ment opportunities for Indians,
equal civil rights, an end to ram-
pant discrimination by the law
and media in the area, and im-
proved social services. Munici-
pal, Provincial and Federal gov-
ernment officials have. generally
avoided these issues in the nego-
tiations. Jean Chrétien, the fede-
ral minister responsible for
Indian Affairs, has even refused
to go to Kenora to attempt to
resolve the problem, and has
issued: a statement in Ottawa
that the people occupying the a
park should have gone through
normal channels. Normal chan-
nels, of course, have not solved
their problems for the past hun-
dred years.

As well, Ontario Premier Wil-
liam Davis has generally ignored
the occupation, outside of the
fact that his government is now
setting up a special Ontario

Provincial Police detachment de-
signed to nip future events of
this type in the bud. It does no-
thing to deal with the source of
the problem, however.

One thing is clear. For every
day the government stalls in re-
solving the problems as outlined
by the society, the possibility of
