‘which,

the existing reality,

history—that the poorer na-
tions of the world were colon-
ized and explolted by the richer
nations,

The world of trade and
economies as it now exists has
something to do with that gap.

All one has to do ls examine the’
difference between the prices
the poorer nations get for their
exports which are basically raw
materials like sugar, coffee and
iron ore, and the prices they
have to pay for goods they have

to import, which are. basically
manufactured goods they buy

b money from the
richer countries, This money is
borrowed with attached inter
eat rates, This drives them’
deeper into the mo: of
dependency and futility.

‘The desperate situation of
hs: poor countries can be
in a relative way to
the: situation that people living
in Canada face when they are
on a fixed income in times of
inflation. Q
‘The amount of aid given by
the richer countries like Canada:
does little to narrow the gap
that exists, One has only to
calculate the amount of aid
given to poorer countries and
compare that figure to the
difference between the import
and export prices of the poorer
‘countries to see'that ald while
necessary is not enough. |
Underneath all these facts
and comparisons are people-
oppressed people. .
In this context I have tried
to answer in my own mind a
lingering question. What is the
perspective of the church on
the New International Econom:
ic Order?
It fs a question which has
been difficult for me to answer.
‘There are many church inatitu-
tions and they have different
perspectives, Church  institu-
tions are composed of people,
individuals who have their own
way of seeing things. i
Some people who belong to
churches live in rich countries
and others live in poor coun
tries: Where people live and
work colora their perspective.
Whatever institutions
have to say, they are made up
of individuals aod are influ-
enced by the people and reflect
the values of the people they
represent. There ware many

We had llttle doubt about
the importance of our presence
at the U.N,

. Among our number was
Francois La Plerre, a young
priest who is a member of the
Foreign Mlsslonary Society of
Montreal. Francols had worked
for five years in South America
and just prior to comihg to New
York had returned from an
assignment in Chile where he
represented the Inter-church
committee for the World Coun-

ell of Churches in negotiatlons |,

to release political prisoners in
Chile.

Francois was interested in |

the Hberation of the oppressed
people of the poor’ countries.
“What concerns me,” he said,
“is that the New International
Economie Order—which is real-
ly concerned with the poverty
and misery of large numbers of
people—ia seen by many church
tmembera as only a marginal
thing.”

Francois saw the Mberation
of the oppressed people of the
world as"being not a marginal
thing but as the very substance
of Christian faith. :

“The Bible and our Chris-
tian traditions call us to liberate
the oppressed, to feed ‘the
hungry and toset captives free.
Oar lack of falth is largely due

ur failure to answer this
cae" he said.

For Francois it is “impos-’

sible to discover God if we do
not answer this call. It is the
path that has to be walked by
men and women of faith.”

‘The concern that Francois
La Plerre,had for the poor
majority, the ones who were
atarving and without shoes,
was a concern that each of us
who were observers at the U.N.
felt.

Where other church mem-
bers are, only they know—or do
they?
