There were no new initiatives in Clark's maiden speech,
Slocan, B.

which concentrated on peace and security and reform of the
United Nations which already is being severely crippled by
big power rivalry.

Clark warned against blaming the world body “for our
own sins and omissions.

“If we collectively are unable to revitalize the UN
system, we shall have to resign ourselves to watching it
wither away. That must not happen.”

Clark said that among the many wrongs he finds with
the United Nations is the ineffectiveness of its Security
Council.

It's somewhat of an accomplishment
to complete the race having not run

that it’s nothing compared to what

his Marathon of Hope.

Kaiser heads bank

VANCOUVER (CP) —
West needs a bank based in
the West, Edgar Kaiser said
as he was appointed Tuesday
to head the financially trou
bled Bank of British Col
umbia.

Kaiser, 42, who has pre-
viously headed his family’s
Kaiser Resources Ltd. and
Kaiser Steel Corp., has never
held a major job in a financial
institution before although
he has served on the board of
directors of the Toronto
Dominion Bank.

Kaiser told a news confer.
ence he was delighted to be
taking the job.

financial institution. That 1
really believe in.

“I have great confidence in
the West. The western econ
omy has had its difficulties
but its future potential is
great. Our bank has shared in
the West's recent difficulties
and it will share in that
future potential.”

The struggling Bank of
B.C. was the only Canadian
bank to record a loss in the
third quarter of 1964 and its
net income for the first nine
months of the year plunged
to $1.8 million from $9 million
a year ago.

Its total assets in 1983
were Ifsted as $3.057 billion.
The bank was started in 1966
and its first offices opened in
1968.

One of its biggest problems
is the amount of non-per
forming loans it is carrying
These are loans on which no
interest is being paid because
of the financial difficulties of
its’ borrowers — many of
whom are based in the West
and are struggling with the
sluggish western economy

In 1983, the bank recorded
loan losses of $51 million,
almost double the losses for
the year earlier.

Kaiser was appointed as
chairman, president and chief
executive officer after the
bank's board of directors set
up a selection committee this
summer.

He replaces chairman
Trevor Pilley, 59, who was
also acting ptesident since D.
Edwin McGearchan resigned
in June. Although neither
party would comment at the

time it was speculated that
McGeachan resigned because
of basic disagreements he
had with Pilley.

Pilley had told the board
earlier this year that he
wanted to take early retire
ment but agreed to stay on
until a successor could be
found, said Arthur Fouks, a
vice-president on the bank's
board when making the an
nouneement of Kaiser's ap-
pointment Tuesday.

Pilley is on vacation in
Europe and could not be
reached for comment.

Kaiser, who sits on a num
ber of other boards including
Vancouver General Hospital,
B.C. Place, and Daon Devel
opment Corp., said the bank
job will be a full-time job “24
hours a day, seven days a
week for the next little
while.”

He said one of his first
priorities will be to find an
assistant to work with him
who is thoroughly familiar
with the banking industry.
But he said that assistant
would not necessarily be
named president.

‘anti-crime’ program

1 LONDON (CP) — An anti-crime i last
year in China has resulted in mass executions, summary
convictions and torture, Amnesty International said in a

report issued today.

A community workshop
on visual impairment and
blindness was attended by
nearly 50 people at the
Castlegar Legion Hall
Tuesday.

The event, sponsored by
the Canadian National In-
stitute for the Blind
(CNIB) and Castlegar
Homemaker Services, cov:
ered subjects including:

and blindness, symptoms
and problems of the causes
of blindne isting
blind people, and a review
of I~al and CNIB services.

Two films were shown:
one on effective use of low
vision, and another on at-
titudes towards blindness,
and the stereotyping of
blind people.

hour workshop were Fred
Koalenz, area representa.
tive counsellor for the
CNIB, and Jane Cowie, an
instructor with the CNIB.

Members of the Castle

bers of the public attended
the workshop.

The report, the first by Amnesty on the world's most

populous country since
organization has evidence of

1978, said

the human rights

“mass executions, of political

prisoners held for years without trial or convicted after

summary proceedings and of

ill-treatment of prisoners.”

Amnesty, as is its practice, submitted a memorandum
detailing its allegations to the Chinese government and
offered to public a reply as part of its report.

Peking refused, although that was not unusual since few

countries do. Amnes'

"s last investigation into alleged

human rights abuses in Canada following the riots at
Archambault prison near Montreal was also published after
Ottawa declined to answer the allegations.

In China, Amnesty said it was unable to estimate how
many political prisoners are currently in detention. “The

number

may be small compared with the past but arrests

have continued since the large-scale rehabilitations of the

late 1970s,” it said

SUPPRESSES DISSENT
Amnesty said “non-violent dissent has been suppressed
in China by convieting political activists of counter-revolu
tionary offences which carry sentences of 10 to 15 years in

prison.”
The report also expresses

concern over the rise of mass

executions since an anti-crime campaign was started in

China in August 1983

During the first three months of the campaign “tens of
thousands of arrests and several thousand executions are

believed to have been carried out,”

although precise

numbers are impossible to collect, Amnesty said.
There now are 44 crimes punishable by death in China,

including theft,

embezzlement,

molesting women and

pimping, Amnesty said, adding it had eyewitness accounts of
prisoners, usually in groups of 10 or 15, being forced to

kneel on the ground and then

being shot in the back of the
