ND , a . | aera -—- INTERNATIONAL FOCUS last summer to back the talks. - British arrogance, voices from an imperial past The arrogance of British Foreign Secretary Lord Car- Tington at the so-called Con- Stitutional talks on Rhodesia underway in London is incred- ible. The talks, being con- ducted between the British, the Patriotic Front and the Salibury regime of Bishop -Muzorewa have dragged on for nine weeks. Following the Patriotic Front’s refusal to agree to the British plan which would leave power effectively in the hands of the puppet regime, Car- rington announced Oct. 15 he would conduct seperate talks With Muzorewa who has al- Tready agreed to the sell-out. ~He then tells the PF delega- | tion they will not be allowed into the talks Oct. 16 unless they first accept his plan. Some talks! Carrington’s behaviour “We have dug _ _ Toops pommel! The front line states are repor- tedly ‘‘horrified’’ at the move which is clearly designed to strip all pretenses from the British determination to back the puppet regime. Carrington could well be cal- led the Cecil Rhodes of 1979. Rhodes, the arch-imperialist diamond magnet after whom the country was named, is de- scribed in the 1958 Encyc- lopedia Britannica as a man who ‘‘liked natives; he employed them by thousands in the mining industry, and was successful: in dealing with them...’’ Cecil Rhodes stole the Afri- cans’ land and Carrington ‘is determined to continue - the tradition. But this is 1979, not 1923 when Britain took over the territory from the British South Africa Company (be- longing to Rhodes) and incor- porated it into their empire. U.S. threatens to deport Haitian ‘Boat People’ While his parole power was used to bring some 14,000 ‘*‘boat people’’ a month into the U.S., president Carter’s human rights policy extends .just so far. : ~ More than 8,000 Haitians in the U.S. now face possible de- portation which means certain imprisonment and/or death at -the hands of the Duvalier dic- tatorship because U.S. au- thorities argue these people are “‘economic refugees’’’ not political ones. The 8,000 are those who have landed on U.S. shores since 1972 and, of that number, less than 100 have been granted political asylum. Many Black organizations and spokesmen have accused the Carter administration of racism in its dealings with the © Haitians and have urged the Committee has just approved a bill (H2816) which would eliminate the president’s power to grant asylum. Check out your agitated cockroaches According to a new book, The War Animals, by Robert E. Lubow, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has de- veloped methods of using in- sects to help in its informa- tion-gathering work. The Washington-based magazine, Covert Action Information Bulletin, discussing this point, writes: ~ “* 1...
