Wilson releases
Van East policy

VANCOUVER EAST — A
call for $30 million of federal
funds for a crash housing pro-
gram to build 1,500 units of new
housing for single men and

- women in the Downtown East-

lion to start up a non-profit
housing corporation led off the
Communist Party program for
Vancouver East released this
week by federal candidate Fred
Wilson.

_ Housing is the major issue in
the working class riding, Wilson
said, as thousands of seniors and
poor people in the Downtown
area are living in slum condi-
tions, while the vacancy rate for
family housing in the rest of the
constituency has dropped to
zero. 3

Other key points in the Van-
couver East program focus on
job creation through an expand-
ed shipbuilding industry and the
nationalization of the CPR ‘‘so
that the ships it builds in other
countries will be built here,’ an
expanded fish processing in-
dustry based on the nationaliza-
tion of Canadian Fishing Co.
and B.C. Packers; the creation
of a regionally based steel in-
dustry, and a public works pro-
ject for the riding to put young
people to work this summer.

dates and policies over national
media. In a letter to CBC and

leader William Kashtan con-
trasted the complete exclusion of

“The political motivation for

Carter rebuffed on boycott

Continued from page 1
security advisor Zbigniew Brzehin-
ski.

It is also an indication that the
U.S. is attempting to re-assert itself
as a ‘‘world policeman’’ even in the
field of international sport.

In this country, the Clark govern-

“ment has echoed the Carter cam-
paign with Clark himnself pressing
for an alternate site for the 1980
Games and leaving the possibility
open of a boycott.

Canada’s diplomatic corps have
also been pressed by the govern-
ment into service to carry Carter’s
campaign around the world.

However, opposition leader
Pierre Trudeau said this week that
he does not support Carter’s cam-
paign for a boycott. He added that
a boycott would probably mean the
end of the Olympics.

NDP leader Ed Broadbent was
more equivocal, stating that
Canada ‘‘should go to Moscow if
an alternate site can’t be found.’’

His statement marked a change,
however, from a comment Jan. 9 in
which he said that the Games
“should not be held in that coun-
try.”

Athletes around the world have
also been overwhelming in their op-
position to any boycott move, in
many cases echoing the stand taken
by their Olympic associations. Even
in the U.S. the president of the U.S.
Olympic Association, Art Kane,
stated earlier that a boycott would
be ‘‘inappropriate.’’

Although the USOC will be pull-
ing its members on the boycott,
under pressure from Carter, the
U.S. team plans to go ahead with its
training camp in West Berlin.

In this country, the Canadian
Olympic Association has long stat-
ed that the Games should be held in
Moscow as originally planned. The
president of the COA said that the
association would not be conduct-
ing a poll despite the boycott cam-
paign.

Abbie Hoffman, the standard
bearer for the Canadian Olympic
team in the 1976 Olympics in Mont-
real and now with the Ontario cul-
ture and recreation ministry, said
this week that the Games should be

William Sawchen, Coquitlam,
writes: I find it unfortunate that the
leaders of Canada’s political parties
have adopted an anti-Soviet stance
on the Soviet intervention in Af-
ghanistan. The Soviets were invited
to that country to prevent American
imperialism and the CIA from get-
ting a foothold on the Soviet
border.

Sadly, the major political parties
want to ban grain shipments to the
Soviet Union, prevent advanced
technology from reaching that
country, stop cultural and scientific
exchanges, and even to stop the

Afghanistan — has nothing to do
with sport.”

Olympic Games from taking place.
They all advocate ‘‘strength,’’ pan-
dering to the U.S., and a diminu-
tion of detente.

In the federal election campaign I
have tried to find some new light
among the major parties on rela-
tions with the Soviet Union. I can-
not.

It seems that the Canadian Com-
munist Party is the only party really
in favor of peace, cooperation with
the Soviet Union and detente. For
that reason, I think I will be voting
Communist on Feb. 18.

Dismayed by NDP stand

John Tanche, White Rock,
writes: I listened to Dave Barrett on
the television newscast Jan. 6 and
was dumbfounded to hear his posi-
tion in attacking the Soviet Union
for going to the help of the new
government of Afghanistan which
had asked for Soviet assistance to
resist the same reactionary forces
from which it has liberated itself.

It must be remembered that the
revolution which took place in Af-
ghanistan in 1978 had given land to
the peasantry as well as cancelling
all debts. It was poverty that had
brought on the revolution in the
first place.

Both Barrett and Ed Broadbent
have joined their voices with those

reactionary voices, including the
Jimmy Carters and the Flora Mac-
Donalds who are calling for sanc-.
tions on trade with the Soviet Union
and the boycotting of the Olympic
Games.

Their position will not create con-
fidence in the NDP, whose concern
it should be to help the masses re-
tain a proper standard of living
against the rapaciousness of big
business.

While I had a weakness and ben-
evolence towards the NDP, I have
radically changed my mind. This is
another of the disillusionments I
have had to chalk up throughout
my life.
