Death toll

now

MOSCOW (AP) — More than
11,000 newly arrived troops struggled
today to end battles betwétn bands of
Azerbaijanis and Armenians, who
were reported to be armed with
everything from submachine-guns and
grenades to commandeered artillery.

The official death toll from the
clashes in the southern republic of
Azerbaijan stood at 56, mostly Ar-
menians, and new clashes are reported.

Azerbaijanis staged protests in their
republic's capital, Baku, and
elsewhere to demand they be armed
and allowed to defend their claim to
the disputed territory of Nagorno-
Karabakh, an predominantly Ar-
menian enclave in Azerbaijan,
newspapers and officials said today

In bordering Armenia to the west,
people were breaking into police
stations and other arms repositoriggin
search of weapons, said Dmitri §
nyov, an Interior Ministry spokesmaW\
in Moscow

Seleznyov said in the last 24 hours
there had been 64 attacks on Armenian
homes in Baku, where the bloodletting
exploded Saturday night with mob at-
tacks on Armenians: ‘‘It’s a terrible
thing,”’ he said.

The Armenian news agency, Ar-
menpress, said about 1,500 refugees
were arriving daily in the Armenian
capital of Yerevan

On Tuesday, the official Tass news
agency said 2,000 people armed with
anti-aircraft guns and other artillery

at 56

were massing on hills around Nagor-
no-Karabakh, the flashpoint for the
neighboring groups’ ethnic hatreds:

President Mikhail Gorbachev
declared a state of emergency in the
strife-torn mountain area Monday
night, empowering the government to
deploy the Soviet army, navy and KGB
internal security force to protect lives
and guard vital installations such as
railways.

More than 6,000 additional internal
security troops were sent Tuesday to
reinforce existing Interior Ministry
detachments, Tass said. To assist
them, more than 5,000 Red Army
soldiers, who traditionally carry
heavier weaponry, also were dispat-
ched, Tass said.

Soviet news media did not say how
many troops already were in the
-region.

Tass said in Armenia, ’‘demands are
being made to arm citizens and send
them to Nagorno-Karabakh."” The
government newspaper Izvestia repor-
ted 16 attacks 6m weapons depots in 24
hours by Armenians seeking guns.

The troops have been instructed to
get tougher with the fighters, Selez-
nyov said. Soldiers opened fire
Tuesday when an armed group tried-to
take five’ armored personnel carriers
near the village of Tazikend.

“*Since then, attempts to take APCs
have stopped, because before this they
weren’t used to having weapons used
against them,’ he said by telephone.

Ninety-five per cent of the eastern
European country’s rivers are un-
drinkable — and half so toxic that the
water can’t even be used in industry for
fear of destroying equipment.

In‘Hungary, air pollution accounts
for one in 17 deaths. A quarter to a
third of the forests in four of the six
countries of Eastern Europe show
signs of dying from air pollution

Small wonder then, say U.S. en-

fr that in the
that have thrown out the old regimes in
Poland, East Germany,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary and
Romania one of the persistent deman-
ds has been for environinental repair

“Pollution was part and parcel of
the system that molested the people in
their daily lives,” says Jeffrey Leonard
of the World Wildlife Fund, author of
several books on: Eastern Europe’s
pollation

Now environmentalists take hope
that the new leaders of Eastern Europe

will seek to alleviate condiktions that
are turning their countries to ruins and
threatening the health of their people.
“Environmental conditions are so
bad they affect the very possibility of
having economic growth,’ said Jessica
Tuchman Mathews of World Resour-
ces Institute, aresearchorganization

“*How does a country rebuild a shat-
tered economy whenit can’t breathe its
air, till its soil or drink its water?”’

Said Richard Liroff, director of the
Eastern European Environmental Af-
fairs Program of the Conservation
Foundation: ‘‘People there are saying,
“We've had enough. Our health is
being threatened, our lungs damaged,
Ouir, forests destroyed, our children
harmed by lead and heavy metals in the
environment.’ ”’

But the question remains whether
eastern Europeans, having to cope
with unemployment, inflation and
bankruptcy as they move toward
market economies, will be tempted to
put environmental concerns aside as
they struggle to remodel their
economies and political structures.

U.S. urged to match cuts

VIENNA (AP-CP) — The Soviet military chief urged the United
States on Tuesday to match sharp cuts in troops, weapons and spending
that heaaid Moscow is making. /)

The call by Gen. Mikhail Moiseyev followed comments by Gen.
Colin Powell, chairman of the U.S, Joint Chiefs of Staff, cautioning that
Soviet forces’ remain predominant in Europe but praising Moscow's
policy change.

Powgll also held out the possibility of U.S. troop cuts, saying there is
*‘nothing sacrosanct about the number of American troops stationed in
Europe.’

Elections to be postponed

BUCHAREST (AP) — A leader of the opposition National Peasants
party says the revolutionary Romanian government has agreed to delay
April parliamentary elections so fledgling parties will have more time to
organize campaigns.

“They have p ised us... (the willbe d but they
didn’t give a precise date,"’ said lon Puiu, vice-president of the largest of
the political groupings that have arisen since last month's revolution.

Puiu said interim President Ion Iliescu gave the assurance at a
meeting when asked for a delay. The opposition would like the voting
delayed at least until June.

Newspaper publishing okayed

SOFIA (AP) — The ruling Communist party, in a concession to
Bulgaria's fledgling opposition, agreed Tuesday to allow democratic
groups to publish their own newspaper and said they would be granted of-
fices in Sofia.

But it rejected a demand for opposition access “tooradio and
television, which would take democratic ideas across the largely rural
country

The was after the threatened to
withdraw from talks with the Communists that many hope will hasten
Bulgaria’s faltering transition to democracy.

Unique democracy promised
LONDON (AFP) — Czechoslovak President Vaclav Havel said his

|
country will strive to create-a democracy of a ‘‘completely different

quality’’ than elsewhere in the world

In an interview with the BBC, the former dissident'said: **We cannot
go back to the past nor can we imitate events in other countries. The
system we hope to create in accordance with present events and present
situations cannot be a mechanical copy of what once was or what exists
elsewhere.’"

Havel earlier Tuesday placed a commemorative wreath in memory of
Jan Palach, a student who set himself on fire in protest against the 1968
Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia

The Czechoslovak president was arrested at the same spot last year
when hardline Communists still ruled his country.

CSIS activity criticized

OTTAWA (CP) — The national intelligence agency should start ac-
ting more like a police force or have some of its investigative power han-
ded back to the RCMP, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association said

Alan Borovoy, general counsel to the association, told a Commons
committee he doesn’t agree with the prevailing wisdom that civil liberties
are better protected under the Canadian Security Intelligence Service than
they were when the Mounties handled the same job.

The civilian agency was creatéd after a royal commission under Mr.
Justice David McDonald investigated wrongdoing by the old RCMP
security service — including theft, arson, break-ins,and forgery — in the
fight against Quebec separatism in the 1970s.

CMA objects to abortion bill

TORONTO (CP) — The Canadian Medical Association objects to
parts of the new abortion legislation and will warn the government that
many doctors who perform abortions may stop doing so if the legislation
is passed, a Canadian Medical Association official said

Doctors who perform abortions will think hard about whether to
continue the practice if legislation might subject them to charges under the
Criminal Code, said Dr. Judy Kazimirski, chairman of the association’s
board of directors.

The association polled 375 doctors and found many of them fear the
government's proposed law would lead to harassment of those who per-
form abortions, said Kazimirski

Hydro announces job creation

VANCOUVER (CP) — Creation of two high-tech computer-map-
ping centres by B.C. Hydro will creage at least 80 jobs in Kamloops and
Vernon, the Crown corporation said Tuesday

The utility announced it had awarded two contracts totalling $9
million to convert its vast collection of electrical facility and land base
maps into a computer data base format using IBM Geographic Facilities
Information System.

The project is expected to be completed by March 1992

Martin makes |
announcement

MONTREAL (CP) — Paul Martin
Jr., promising straight talk and new
ideas, announced today he is running
for the federal Liberal leadership.

The rookie MP challenged Liberals
to find new ways of dealing with forces

later this week.

Bornin Windsor, Ont., Martinis the
wealthy owner of a shipping company
apd son of the former Liberal cabinet
minister of the same name. He has

which he said are p
Canada and the world.

“We must define a new political
agenda for the 1990s,'" he said at a
news conference in the Queen
Elizabeth hotel in downtown Mon-
treal.

“We must take charge of our
future,’’ he said.

Martin said threats to the environ-
mewnt have replaced the old bogey
man of nuclear war. He said he would

been c for months and has
a team of savvy political prog in place
for the fight

Martin, 51, is the third MP to enter
the race to succeed John Turner. Sheila
Copps of Hamilton announced her in-
tentions Monday and Tom Wappel of
Toronto declared his candidacy last
year
The Montreal MP is already
believed to be a front-runner in the
race that will end June 23 in Calgary

He will be in a close fight with former
MP Jean Chretien who js expected to
announce his candidacy soon.

Fluently bilingual, Martin made his
debut in federal politics in the 1988
general election when he defeated a
popular Tory MP in the working-class,

iding of Lasall

He was in the Commons for only a
few weeks before earning rebukes
from Turner over remarks Martin
made that differed from Liberal policy
on the Meech Lake constitutional ac-
cord. Mastin supports the.deal while
favoring immediate negotiations on a
parallel accord to deal with problems
in the agreement.

orthy says he
cdn't afford to run

WINNIPEG (CP) — MP Lloyd
Axworthy, one of Western Canada’s
leading Grits, showed his empty
pockets today as he bowed out of a
Liberal leadership race he said he just
couldn't afford to enter

“It is my judgment that I don’t have
the resources to mount an effective
national effort,’’ the Winnipeg MP
said in a statement distributed in his
home town.

“I make this decision with regret
and disappointment.”*

He had to conduct interviews from
Ottawa, where he was fogged in. Ax-
worthy had planned on returning to
Winnipeg to tell friends and supporters
that he had decided the Liberal leader-
ship race was just too rich for his
meagre means.

Axworthy, 50, a former university
professor on his second marriage and
raising a new family, doesn’t have the
kind of personal resources Paul Martin
Jr. or Jean Chretien can command

And some Manitoba Liberals
Suggested Axworthy forfeited support
he might have garnered in Western
Canada by not being more forthright
in his condemnation of the Meech
Lake accord.

Although Axworthy favors changes
to the accord drafted to get Quebec's
signature on the Constitution, he has

been far less strident than other
Western Liberals such as Manitoba
party Leader Sharon Carstairs, who
says the deal is dead unless it is changed
to protect natives, women. and
minority language rights.

So far, Hamilton MP Sheila Copps
and Tom Wappel, the MP for Scar-
borough-West, are the only declared
candidates in the race to replace John
Turner, although Martin and Chretien
are the favorites.

Axworthy, who founded the urban
studies faculty at the University of
Winnipeg, made his first stab at
politics in the 1968 federal election but
lost. He entered provincial politics in
1973 and fora time he was the only
Liberal in the Manitoba legislature

In 1979 he won a seat in the Com-
mons and in 1980 was named minister
of employment and immigration. He
was also minister of transport and
responsible for the Canadian Wheat
Board

Still boyish-looking at 50 and with a
farm-boy charm that belies his
academic background, Axworthy-even
managed to laugh off some of his
disappointment at being forced to
withdraw from a leadership race he
never officially entered.

He said the foggy weather was per
fect forthe day

“It speaks volumes,”” he said lightly
in a telephone radio interview with a
Winnipeg radio station.

Axworthy said he received generous
support from some people in Winnipeg
but could not raise enough money
elsewhere

“It simply came down to the fact
there wasn’t enough to run’a credible
national campaign."’

He said the high spending limit
placed on leadership campaigns made
it impossible for him to get in the race.

“To try to compete with a$2-million
campaign was very tough for someone
in my situation.”

The party set a $1.7-million spen-
ding limit for each leadership can-
didate and Axworthy’s backers have
said they have only been able to raise
about $200,000 of their. target of
$800,000

Axworthy refused to say whether he
might consider running again for the
leadership but June Westbury, who
held the seat in the Manitoba
legislature he left for federal politics,
said she doubts he will return. She even
suggested he might decide to withdraw
from federal politics.

“I don't think we'll see Lloyd Ax-
worthy running again,”’ she said

“This was his dream for a long
time.”*

he presents his own report card on the year-old treaty
with the United States.

Officials from External Affairs, Finance, Industry
and other federal departments have been pulling
together facts and figures on the agreement governing
an annual $200 billion in two-way trade

“We are going to try to address everyone's concer-
ns,’’ Paul Benoit, Crosbie’s press_secretary, said
Tuesday.

The report won't be a full economic analysis, but
will instead be a collection of statistics and case studies
on life under free trade

For the last year the government has been on the
defensive as the opposition parties and free-trade critics
have blamed ‘‘every sparrow that falls’’ on the deal

“The agreement is being phased in over a 10-year
period so it is still premature to calculate definitely its
benefits,’’ Prime Minister Brian Mulroney told the
Premiers as late as November.

However, groups such as the Pro-Canada Net-
wogk, a collection. of labor, farm, social policy and
other groups opposed to free trade, have already
released their own.analysis of the first year of free trade,
which will gradually eliminate tariffs and other barriers
between the two countries by 1998.

last year, centred in industrial Ontario, fuelled
disillisionment

The trade deal went into_effect_Jan_1, 1989,
touching almost every nut and bolt in the economies of
the world’s largest trading partners.

Throughout 1989, Crosbie simply repeated over
and over that it was too early to judge a deal that would
only bein full force in 10 years — a stance supported by
many economists

Crosbie’s report is expected to include a list of/
companies that have gained from free trade, igurssae
investment that has flowed into the counsfy and anafysid
of the sectors where tariffs have alreadybeen lifted. /

to monitor the benefits of the deal over the longer term.

Peter Bleyer, spokesman for the Pro-Canada Net
work, said his group welcomes Crosbie’s analysis.

The onus has always been on the government to
prove that the deal is delivering the economic ‘‘bonan-
