Robinson lashes out at CSIS

OTTAWA (CP) — The government must end

Canadian Security Intelligence. Service, New Democrat MP
Svend Robinson said Tuesday.

But Justice Mirfister Ray Hnatyshyn replied that
Robinson should gather more evidence and take his case to
the proper authorities if hé suspects illegal activity by cas.

And officials of two peace groups

must “be able to direct stimulating and very
delicate surveillance of pro-Soviet operations and influence
within the Canadian peace movement.”
SOVIET THREAT
The post, with a salary range of between $40,420 and
$48,740 a year, calls for the ability to plan and direct a

possible targets for infiltration — Operation Dismantle sad
Project Ploughshares — said they don’t have any evidence of
CSIS snooping.

Robinson raised the issue in the Commons by citing a
confidential job description, circulated within CSIS in
October 1986, seeking “

Specific targets for surveillance aren't mentioned, but
the job description hotes that groups that act “in good faith”
can nevertheless be subject to Soviet penetration.
Robinson later conceded to reporters that the peace
movement, like any other, may harbor subversive

applicants to serve as head of | a subsection devoted to
surveillance of peace groups.

monitoring just fringe groups or individuals who overtly
support Soviet policy.

“What this document indicates is that there are at least
four full-time people working at examining the *good-faith’
peace movement — in other words the mainstream peace
movement . . . ,” said Robinson.

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime
Minister Brian Mulroney said
today another political level
meeting with the Americans
on free trade will depend on
how the United States res-
ponds to Canada’s latest pro-

Is.

“We'll have to see if there
is a response from the
Americans to the positions
we have set forward,” Mul-
roney told reporters.

Canada sent a counter-pro-
postal south overnight.

There are less than five
days left before the deadline

‘for a deal set by the U.S.
Congress.

An American _ proposal
made Monday during a meet-
ing with Canadian cabinet
ministers in Washington did
not persuade Mulroney and
cabinet to resume the formal
negotiations Canada broke
off a week ago.

But Trade Minister Pat
Carney said Tuesday there
had been sufficent progress
to continue political consult-
ations.

While the United States
has moved closer to meeting
a key Canadian demand for a
binding system to settle
trade disputes, the Ameri-
cans had called for new con-

“What possible threat to the security of Canada could
come from groups that are seeking peace in the world?”
SURPRISE

NO
Pamela chief

officer of O;

Dismantle, which mounted a celebrated court case against
cruise missile testing in Canada, said shé wouldn't be
surprised to find the group is under surveillance.

But she has no evidénee of informers within the ranks.

Simon

of Project P

which has

campaigned against participation by Canadian firms in the
international arms trade, said there are some small peace
groups that openly support a pro-Soviet line, “but we don’t
have anything to do with them.”

Like Fitzgerald, he said he wouldn't be surprised to find
evidence of infiltration but he is unaware of any.

The most recent public example of security agents
infiltrating the peace movement came in 1983 when Andy
Moxley, a Carleton University political science student,
admitted he had spied on peace groups for the RCMP
security service, the predecessor of CSIS.

Mulroney says talks
now up to Americans

cessions on regional sub-
sidies, culture, investment
and auto trade in return.

A source close to the talks
said the Canadian counter-
proposal sent to Washington
on Tuesday night centred on
regional subsidies.

The United States has
called for a major dismant-
ling of Canadian programs
for regional industries, which

might give Canadian firms an
advantage under free trade.

Canada has countered with
a proposal that would allow it
to keep much more of its
regional subsidies.

External Affairs Minister
Joe Clark said today Derek
Burney, Mulroney's chief of
staff, talked with U.S. Trea-
sury Secretary James Baker
on Tuesday night.

New York says
FBI eyed authors

NEW YORK (AP) —
More than 50 of the most
prominent authors in the
United States were kept
under surveillance by the
FBI and other agencies be-
cause their writings were
considered subversive, an
article in the latest New York
magazine said.

Among them were Ernest
Hemingway, labelled a drunk
and a Communist; Sinclair
Lewis and Pearl Buck, crit-
icized for promoting civil
rights; John Steinbeck, ac-
cused of tarnishing the coun-
try's image; and Truman Ca-
pote, targeted as a “sup-
porter of the (Cuban) rev-
olution.”

Others kept under sur-
veillance included Car] Sand-
burg, Nelson Algren, John
Dos Passos, William Faulk-
ner, Thornton Wilder, Ten-
nessee Williams, W.H.
Auden and Thomas Wolfe.

New York contributor Her-

bert Mitgang, in an article to
be published in the Oct. 5
issue, said he obtained por-
tions of the government dos-
siers over the last several
years through the federal
Freedom of Information Act.

Many of the files were
heavily censored, even when
the subjects had died decades
ago, but enough remained to
clearly illuminate the govern-
ment’s “censorious, anti-lib-
ertarian tone,” Mitgang
wrote.

Although most of the sur-
veillance occurred during the
1940s, and 1950s, the author
concluded: “Apparently the
practice is continuing.”

Mitgang quoted Athan
Theoharis, a history pro-
fessor at Marquette Univer-
sity and the author of a book
on domestic surveillance,
saying: “I wouldn't be sur-
prised if the FBI was still
pursuing some of the old
cases.”

Local union leaders are not overly concerned with
Canadian Security and Intelligence Service's reported
infiltration of British Columbia unions.

“I think the CSIS is a joke,” Len Embree, president
of the local United Brotherhood. of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, told the Castlegar News. “For us to
get a good belly laugh out of them cost the taxpayers a lot
of money.”

According to information uncovered by the CBC's
French language network last Wednesday, CSIS agents
were. to watch the activities of “clandestine
cells" within the B.C. Federation of Labor.

Fred Wilson, organizational director of the B.C. wing
of the Communist Party of Canada, came to Castlegar on
the weekend to talk to local labor leaders. He told the
Castlegar News he suspects communists were the target
of CSIS spying.

“Any presence of the secret service in the trade
union movement is illegitimate,” argued Wilson.

ilson said that the Communist Party is taking
advantage of the situation to repudiate allegations he
attributed to Solicitor General James Kelleher that the
labor is by the sub-
version of Communists.

Gordon Titsworth, president of the Trail and District
Labor Council, noted; “There hasn't been a demonstrable
showing of the Communist Party here since 1967.”

Even if there was, he said, “I don't think any
democratic organization in this country is a threat to the
labor movement.”

Wilson stated adamantly that his party's operations
within the unions were “not clandestine.”

“Communists are active in the trade union move-
ment .. . that activity is open and legitimate.”

Wilson added there are 2,000estimated Communist
party supporters in B.C. and that “at any labor con-
vention they are there in numbers.”

Wilson, Titsworth and Embree said they suspected
CSIS infiltration in Kootenay unions.

“They're here in Castlegar,” said Wilson. “Not to be
aware of this is the height of naivete.”

“I would suspect they would have someone locally,”
agreed Embree. “I just assume they have.”

Titsworth suggested that “if there were legal action
flowing from the postal strike, there would be agents in
there.”

Native displays
come to NEC

The West Kootenay Na-
tional Exhibition Centre will
present two exhibits in Octo-
ber, each concerned with
Canada’s Native Peoples.

Cedar: The Great Pro-
vider, traces the traditional
uses of the cedar tree in
Northwest Indian culture
and is illustrated by artifacts,
raw materials, photographs
and diagrams showing the
techniques of transforming
the parts of the tree into
utilitarian and ceremonial
artifacts.

Drawing largely from. the
Museum of Anthropology at
UBC, this exhibit will show
once again, that much of
what Canadians know about
environmental conservation
has been taught by Canada's
aboriginal peoples.

From 1982 - 1986, artist/-
photographer Karie Garnier

visited more than 70 native
Indian Elders from South-
western British ‘Columbia.
The result is the exhibit Our
Elders Speak, a photographic
tribute to some of these
elders and including their
“wisest and most loving”
quotes and brief biographies.

The exhibition, sponsored
by the West Coast Profes-
sional Native Women's As-
sociation, will be featured in
the small gallery from Oct. 1 -
31.

The project is endorsed by
a number of agencies in-
cluding the Canada Couneil

questions which will rennet
a lively discussion of Can-

and
Commission and ts apy

ed at the Folklife Pavilion
during Expo.

Also featured in the small
gallery will be the education
kit produced by the West
Kootenay NEC for area

ada's of its Native
Peoples.

The Centre is open 9:30
a.m. - 4:30 p.m. weekdays
and 10:80 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on
weekends. The exhibits will
open Oct. 2 and continue
through to Oct. 31.

Zinc level

By CasNews Staff

Zine production at Cominco
Ltd.’s Trail smelter is run-
ning at 75 per cent capacity
while it undergoes annual
maintenance.

According to a Cominco
press release, routine work is
being done mainly in the
roaster and acid plant areas
of zine production. Usually a
summer job, the maintenance
was delayed by the summer-
long strike.

The work will continue
until the middle of Novem-
ber.

Cominco spokesman, Rich-
ard Fish said that though the
production of zinc is down to
around 650 tonnes from nor-
mal daily production of 745
tonnes, there will be no re-
duction in employment, due
to the late holidays being
