Five-day. Plan Plan
Smokers’ chance

By Jonathan Sharp
PEKING (REUTER) —
“We have friends all over the
world,” boasts a large red
and yellow sign in the lobby

of Peking’s best hotel.
Possibly. But China is in
danger of losing many friends
in the resident foreign com-

munity here, principally be- -

cause of the rising cost of
living and working in the
capital.

Foreigners live in a sort of
financial apartheid. They use
separate currency called for-

, eign: exchange certificates,
and pay far higher prices for
goods and services than the
Chinese.

Air fares, for example, and

. Meals in certaim-restaurants
are:two to.three times as
much as for Chinese. For-
eigners can only buy carpets

in certain shops where the
prices are several times
higher than for Chinese.

Rents, telephone and Telex
charges are very high levels.
Some businessmen arrange
with their head offices out-
side the country to initiate all
Telex calls, because the costs
are so high for calls made
from China. .

Many of the costs are in
the form of indirect taxation.
An interpreter might cost
$400 a month, but the inter-
preter receives only a frac-
tion of this as his salary. The
rest goes to the government.
" TIT FORTAT

The Chinese have several
explanations, one being that
Chinese officials abroad pay
high. prices, parcicularly -in
the West.

They also say that some

28 world. experts

TORONTO (CP) — Heavy

only a few serious side-
effects, but even those pres-
ent a significant public health
problem because millions of
people use the drug, says an
Addiction Research Founda-
tion report.

The report, prepared by
the foundation and the World
Health Organization after a
joint meeting, is a critical
review of published research
material by 28 of the world’s
leading cannabis researchers.

It’ will be presented in
February to the United Na-
tions Commission on Narcotic
Drugs in Vienna.

Those most susceptible to
the average affects of mar-
ijuana include growing teen-
agers and the elderly with
decreased rates of drug met-
abolism, the report says.

People: who use cannabis

“Other acute physiological
effects are also transient and
do not appear to be of major
significance in individuals
with no pre-existing disease.”

The report says daily ¢an-

services, such as food and
transportation, are subsid-
ized by the state and that
foreigners — since many of
them do not contribute to
state revenues — are not en-
titled to such subsidies.

‘The latest causes for grum-
bling in the guarded. coth-
pounds where foreign diplo-
mats, business executives
and journalists must live are
huge rent increases.

A typical example: . The
rent to a foreigner for a
spacious, five-room apart-
ment in the northeastern
suburbs has been hoisted to
just over $18,000 from $6,000
dollars a year.

Some New Zealand moun-
taineers, who, after agreeing

Heritage up for sale

By TONY BARBER

LONDON (REUTER) —
After seeing London Bridge
sold to the United States, a
group dedicated to preserv-
ing Britain's heritage is bat-
tling to save another land-
mark from falling into Amer-
ican hands. .

The landmark is Land's
End, the rocky cliff top that
juts out into the Atlantic
Ocean as the most southerly
point of the British: mainland.

The National biggest con-
servation group in Britain,
has lqunched a fund to try to
raise enough money to outbid

that is one of the main tourist
attractions in Cornwall.

Of course, the Americans
do not intend to transplant
Land's End as they did Lon-
don Bridge, which spanned
the Thames from 1831 to
1968. It was taken down
stone by stone and rebult on
‘a desert lake in Arizona and
now rates as the biggest
tourist attraction after the
awesome Grand Canyon. -

Likewise the Queen Mary,

once the pride of British
ocean liners, was sold to U.S.

and now is berthed

The Queen Elizabeth, its
sister ship, suffered a worse
fate when purchased by
Hong Kong interests to be a
floating university. It caught
fire and sank in Hong Kong
harbor in 1972, It was sal-
vaged and sold as scrap.

An anonynmous U.S, syn-
dicate has expressed an
interest in buying Land's
End to develop the rugged
beauty spot as a major iour-
ist attraction. Already it is
visited by two to three mil-
lion people a year.
