Energy Ministry indicated Vancouver-area residents could be paying as much as 12 cents a litre less for gas by savings from reductions in the world price of oil, said Leo Schofield, senior adviser in the ministry's policy de- velopment group. Schofield said Friday he has been tracking the prices Canadian refiners have paid for oil since December and has worked out the savings these represent to motorists when they fill up — if all the cuts are passed on. The last drop — two cents a litre — occurred Feb. 20. Schofield has used a compli- cated formula to estimate that each $1 drop in the cost of oil to the refinery should produce a cut of just under 0.7 cents a litre on regular gasoline at the pumps. He said the price to the re- finery has dropped to $23.01 from $37.66. learn from Philippines By CasNews Staff The Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada must carry on with the struggle of Canadian workers and learn from the experi- ence of the Philippine work- ers, delegates to the union's 24th annual convention in Castlegar were told this week. “Never let happen in Can- ada what the American inter- vention and the entrance of the multi-national businesses has done to our country and people,” warned Serge Cher- niguin of the Philippine Su- gar Workers.

Mr. Justice Ken Meredith reversed a youth court ruling that found the teenager fit to stand trial in adult court. The West Kootenay wom- an, who can't be named in order to protect the identity of the accused, said youth laws are too lenient. She called upon the federal government to amend the Young Offenders Act so juv eniles convicted of violent crimes against children are dealt with severely. “All they get now is a slap on the wrist,” she said. Meredith ruled that a stiff prison term would not benefit society and would likely harm the accused youth if he is found guilty. “If the accused is made to rub shoulders with callous darity in the past. had so much encouraged and helped and strengthened us, now we shall need these as we go on with our struggle together with the Aquino government that is trying its best, when glanced from its first actions, to be truly of service to the Philippine people,” he said. “Our struggle, the work ers’ struggle, is a great struggle and must be carried on relentlessly and with vigil- ance,” Cherniguin told the PPWC. “Our past gains must never be lost, efforts must be extended that the Canadian workers must have their rightful share for their labor and the kind of life fitted to those on whose labor de- pends the life of the nation.” He said the natural re- sources of Canada must first of all be for Canadians only. “Your natural resources can never be endless,” Cher- niguin said. “Your working rights could be eroded when workers are not vigilant against those whose greed for profit has no concern for the plight of people or of any country.’ Speaking on the Philippine struggle, Cherniguin said the main struggle under the new government of Cory Aquino will be to do away with the American control of its eron- omic, political and cultural life. “We want to master our own fate, to enjoy the bless- ings of our country’s natural resources, to enjoy the place and eventually to improve into a richer, fuller kind of life.” Cherniguin said the cause of the ills of the Philippines is “the control by the Ameri- cans of our country’s econ- omy.” He said former president Ferdinand Marcos, who had to use force to maintain him- self in power, was purposely supported by the U.S. be- cause he was their “watch- dog.” “The American control is the cause for the lowering of the Filipino workers, basic pay against the rise of infla- tion,” Cherniguin said.

REFERENDUM MADRID (REUTER) — Faced with the prospect of a negative vote on Spain's continued membership in NATO, the governing Socialist party is pulling out all the stops in an effort to turn the tide before Wednesday's referendum. Hundreds of Socialist leaders, including 14 cabinet ministers, addressed meetings across the country Saturday to urge voters to support Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez's decision to stay in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Surveys made public before a ban on opinion polls came into force Thursday showed the loose alliance of Communists and pacifists supporting the no vote stands to win by between four and 10 percentage points.

They said neither com mittee is planning hearings on the freer-trade proposal at this stage, thereby decreas ing chances of stirring up negative reaction to the idea that could lead to a con gressional veto. In lieu of hearings, the Senate finance committee and the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives have asked for written comments from U.S. industries and inter ested parties on freer trade with Canada. Senate committee aide Sam Richardson and George Weise of the House com mittee said both committees have a jammed agenda for the next couple of months that leaves virtually no time for hearings on the freer trade proposal The Senate committee has made tax reform and budget writing its top priorities and the House committee, at the request of Democratic House Speaker Thomas (Tip) O'Neill, has agreed to con centrate on putting together comprehensive trade reform legislation.

There was disagreement about how wide an area the proposed national park should cover, but all com mittee members agreed log ging should be allowed to continue on Lyell, where Haida Indians claim aborig. inal title and have been trying to block logging. AREA FAMOUS Sith Moresby is interna. tionally known for its abun dant and unique wildlife and scenic beauty “If that is the route that they choose, confrontation is going to continue,” said John Broadhead, spokesman for the Islands Protection So ciety. “And it’s going to be broader, because the Haida people will not be alone there.” Haida leader Miles Rich Caravan left St. John's, Nfid., by bus‘on Wednesday. The group, seeking support for the Haida claim to the South Moresby region, moved to a Via Rail train Friday in Nova Scotia. The group plans to stop at major cities across Canada, finishing March 15 in Van couver. Sierra Club spokesman Sharon Chow said she is up set because Lyell is “the prime area that conserva tionists are concerned with.” Williams said he expected an uproar over the decision on South Moresby. “I wouldn't be surprised if we have given enough ammuni tion for both sides to shoot at us,” he said. The committee urged the government to consult the Haida and let them have a voice in the management of the proposed national park. The report doesn't deal with compensation for the Haida because “that’s government policy,” Williams said. The report recommended a three-year transition period so companies, employees. contractors and others could make plans before the area is turned into a park.
