Stopping soldiers with dollars — WASHINGTON {CP) -- Can development aid and diplomacy stop 40,000 Cuban Soldiers? Prime Minister Trudeau left that question unan- as he_ ended discussions here Wedneaday with other NATO leadera. But he made it clear that as.far as Canada is con- cerned the growing Soviet- Cuban influence in Africa wil not be opposed by anything more than dollars and diplamacy,. When asked about coming meetings in Paris and Brussels, where major NATO powers will examine ways to encourage and aid African countries to protect themselves against the SovietCuban presence, Trudeau bluntly replied: “Weare not invited and we are not going and we probably would not zo even if we were invited.” Then, as if he had second thoughts about such implicit public criticism of a U.S.- French initiative, the prime minister Buggested that reporters should “strike” the last part of the sentence. He said he did not want to “complicate’’ matters. CAN HELP Canada, he said, might play some part In countering SovietCuban involvement in Africa “but our view is that we must help in peaceful ways the African majorities, wherever they are, to evolve toward greater in- dependence, where that is required as in Zimbabwe, or toward greater economic security, as is the case in the many countries where we have assistance and technical aid of a non- military character,’ Zimbabwe is the black African name for Rhodesia. Trudeau was not alone at the NATO meeilng in trying to sway U.S. President Carter away from African intervention, British Prime Minister James Callaghan also warned that NATO members should not act ‘‘out of frustration” in Africa. Some influential members of the U.S. government, Callaghan suggested, are over-reacting at the Soviet- Cuban presence in Africa: “A lot of Christopher Columbuses are setting out . from the United States to ‘discover Africa for the first - 7 time. ” . Scots INFLVENCE MEETING After the NATO summit ended, it appears that ‘Trudeau and Callaghan had: been successful in at least tempering the hardening U.S, position on Africa. When the summit opened, Carter stirred up blaring headlines by declaring: “Our alliance centres on Europe, but our vigilance cannot be limited to the continent. In recent years, expanding Soviet power has increasingly penetrated beyond the North Atlantic ‘‘Ags I speak today, the activities of the Soviet Union and Cuba in Africa are preventing individual nations from charting their own course. “As members of the world’s greatest alliance, we cannot be indifferent to these events—because of what they mean for Africa and . because of thelr effect on the long-term interests of the alliance.” But when the final commu- nique was written, Carter's declaration was reflected only in two sentences in which the Allied leaders “noted with concern" in- tervention by the Soviet Union and its allies ‘‘in the, developing world” and warned that “disregard for the indivisibility of detente cannet but jeopardize the further improvement of East-West relations,’” DIFFERS WITH U.S. In another ‘significant statement, Trudeau im- plicitly clashed with Carter's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who is reported to be the leading advocate of a hard-line African policy within Car- ter’s circle of close advisers. Three days earlier, Brze- zinski, in Widely publicized comments, had blamed the Russians and the Cubans for the recent invasion of Zaire's Shaba region by Katangese rebels, and even for massacres committed by the rebels. “We have sufficient evi- dence," Brzezinski had said, “to be quite confident in our conclusion that Cuba shares the political and the moral respousibility for. the in- vasion, indeed, even for the outrages that were associated with it.” By contrast, Trudeau brought'up the topic ‘or ‘his own initiative while an- heavy on the bevvy GLASGOW (AP) — The Scots are hitting the bottle so hard that they face an alcoholism problem of epidemic proportions by 1985, welfare agencies report.
