W Canada will be
Canada is about to take a giant leap
into the Star Wars era with the selection
by the Canadian military of three north-ern
sites at Yellowknife, Frobisher Bay
and Fort Chimo to host modern inter-ceptor
bases. From these locations will
fly Canadian F-1- 8's and U.S. Airforce
F-1- 06 and F-1- 5 fighter aircraft under
NORAD command their purpose to
intercept Soviet bombers and Cruise
missiles trying to underfly the Star
Wars network.
The Defence of Canada
Why should this be objectionable?
There is, after all, nothing wrong with
defending Canadian airspace. The
problem is that without any national
debate, indeed, without any say in the
matter whatsoever, we are being drag-ged
into a made-in-Washingt- on plan for
continental defence that will, within a
few years, transform Canada into a
major theatre of nuclear war-fighti- ng
operations.

Ronald Reagan ima cetvoro djece

Nancy Reagan — Ronald Reagan
mladji naslijedio je glumacki tal-ent
i slovi za "komunikativnu lic-nost- ". Ima 28 godina, igrac je i zabav-lja- c, snima reklame i pravi reportaze
za televiziju, slika se poluodjeven i
izaziva crvenilo na obrazima svojih
roditelja.
Posljedni put su americki predsjed-ni- k
i njegova supruga pocrvenjeli
zbog sina ovih dana kada se na zad-nj- oj stranici casopisa "Vanity Fair"
("Vasar tastine") pojavila njegova re-klam- na
fotografija — raskopcanoj
kosulji i crvenim sportskim gacica-m- a,
s kratkim carapama na nogama.
Njegovi kreposni roditelji, kako je
objasnio predstavnika za stampu Bi-je- le kuce prokomentirali su tu ekshi-bicij- u
svog sina kao nesto "vrlo zgod-no- "
i "sasvim stilu 4. jula". Istina,
Amerikanci na svoj Dan nezavisnoti
daju sebi svakakvog oduska.
No, malo onima koji su
vidjeli reklamnu pozu Ronalda Rea-gan- a

Wars concept which the U.S. seems
thoroughly sold on is space
weapons designed to destroy Soviet
ICBM's be circumvented by low-flyi- ng
missiles and bombers.
This means a massive air de-fence
system will have to con-structed
in tandem with the Star Wars
network. U.S. Airforce Major-Gener- al
John Shaud has remarked, "If
you're going to the roof, you don't
to leave the doors and windows
open".
Air Defence Initiative
U.S. has already decided to go
ahead with this major program to build
the ground-base- d companion to Star
Wars the Air Defence Initiative
(ADI). According to the authoritative
magazine, Defence Week, ADI will be
"the most complete defence system
ever deployed," comprising "untold
numbers of planes armed with new air-to-a- ir
missiles, sophisticated radars and
Canadian CF-1- 8 fighter. Along with U.S. CF-18- 's are to
stationed in north as part vast new program defence.
Though few yet it, this is first in into Star Wars.

da je mladji Reagan baletan i da
se "ne stidi svog tijela". Glavni me-nadzer- ov

Medju ta ozbiljnija zanimanja spa-d- a,
kako se tvrdi, pisanje za "Play-boy".
Najveca zelja Ronalda Reagana
mladjeg je, medjutim, da krene oce-vi- m

na televiziji dobio jednu malu ulogu.
U ocekivanju da mu se ti snovi ispu-n-e,
RR mladji se pojavljuje u televizij-ski- m

And, notes Defence Week,
"geography requires that many of the
projected ADI installations would have
to be in Canada."
In the new era of U.S. strategy,
Canada is seen as "the open doors and
windows" of SDI. Thus, by uncriti-cally
agreeing to close these 'gaps' we
are, whether we know it or not, buying
heavily into Ronald Reagan's Star
Wars future.
What Alternatives?
Step by step, almost imperceptibly,
Canada is being drawn into the Reagan
administration's' paranoid vision of a
hi-te- ch 'fortress America'. We will be
the outer glacis of this nuclear bastion
focus of the fiercest fighting.
Successive Canadian governments
have collaborated with the U.S. in
creating this situation. In doing so, they
have ignored the arms control alterna-tive,
which might have effectively pro-vided
for Canadian security without a
massive arms build-u- p.
During the late 1970s, for instance,
there was a window of opportunity to
ban Cruise missiles in the SALT II
negotiations. The U.S., which was
ahead in Cruise technology, refused
this option. Canada failed to speak up,
failed to pressure our ally to accept
what can now be seen to have been
valuable Soviet proposals in this area.
Instead, we became junior partners in
the development of the air-launch- ed
version of the Cruise.

Today we are paying the price of our
short-sighte- d and slavish deference to
U.S. military policies. Having collabo-rated
in the production of this weapon,
with the promise that it would enhance
our security, a senior American air-force
officer now tells us: "the Cruise
missile is the threat of the future."
Northern Scenery
Because of it, we are now expected
to build a vast and exorbitantly expen-sive
line of radars and electronic sen-sors
across our territory the North
Warning Line. And we will soon be
asked to become wholehearted par-ticipants
in the Air Defence Initiative:
fighter bases, missile batteries and
command bunkers will be standard fea-tures
of our'northern scenery.
It is not too late to get off this nuclear
roller-coaste- r. Cruise missiles can still
be banned there is a standing Soviet
proposal to this effect.A nuclear freeze
and a comprehensive test'ban treaty
would prevent the emergence of Star
Wars and other new weapons-system- s
that make up the Pentagon's menu for a
future atomic war.
The three new airfields to be
constructed in our north by NORAD
are a down payment on Canada's full
participation in Star Wars. Now is the
time to reject this path, to halt our drift
into the Pentagon's deadly embrace,
and begin working as a nation for arms
control and political detente the only
measures that can provide security in a
nuclear-arme- d world.
KOMUNISTI TRAZE
MJESTO U VLADI
RIM — Talijanska komunisticka
partija (PCI) trazi da buduca vlada u
Rimu bude sastavljena od komuni-sta- ,
socijalista (PSI) i demokrscana
(DC). Te tri najvece stranke trebale bi
se, prema misljenju talijanskih ko-munis-ta,
okupiti oko zajednickog
programa, cime bi se prevladala nad-metan- ja oko vlasti- - sto u ovome tre-nutk- u
blokiraju politicki zivot u zem-Ij- i.
Takav stav iznio je clan najuze par-tijsk- e
direkcije Giorgio Napolitano u
intervjuu listu "Republica". Ne vidim
zasto, rekao je Napolitano, PCI ne bi
usla u vladu koja bi se okupila oko
zajednickog programa.
