No details of the new agreement were released: Three arrested not murderers NANAIMO, B.C. (CP) — Police arrested three men at a pub here Tuesday but a tip that they were accused murderers who broke out of a Victoria jaiton Monday turned out to be wrong About 20 plain-clothes and uniform RCMP officers went into the pub with guns drawn to make the arrest Owner Brad Doncaster said one of the three resembled one of the escapees, but subsequentidentity checks cleared the men The escapees, who broke out of the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre early Monday, were still at large Tuesday night Mandela may be freed JOHANNESBURG (Reuter) — Winnie Mandela, wife of African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, said she believed her husband would soon be released after 25 years in South African prison$. *Yes, I think he will be released,” she said in an interview witha local magazine called Tribute. ‘And they will be releasing him into an at mosphere in which even his own organization is seen_as_just-a-band-of terrorists “If Mandela were released into that atmosphere it would fit in with the (plans) of thé government: bringing Mandela back to an apartheid South Africa where everything is still the same as when he left 25 years ago."* Nelon Mandela was jailed in June 1964 for plotting to overthrow white rule in South Africa Revenue not cut by strike TORONTO (CP) — The CBC has deniéd union suggestions that it is losing millions of dollars in advertising revenue because of a strike by 2,600 workers. “That is absolute, utter nonsense," Denis Harvey, vice-president of Forest industry warned to clean up act MONTREAL (CP) Representative: Canadian forest industry were warned to clean up their environmental act or else lose control over the forests they exploit Les Reed, professor of forest policy/at the Univer sity of British Columbia, said the day is long gone when the public thrilled at the sight of a huge (ree crashing to the ground. “That thrill has been replaced by alarm and widespread hostility” ( the forest industry, Reed told the 70th annual meeting of the woodlands section of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association “The now sensitized public is_uriforgiving and ready to pounce on each new real or Supposed episode of faulty practice,"’ said Reed “Unfortunately there are still too many examples of neglect of forest renewal, of logging waste, and of the breaching of environmental guidelines.” If companies don’t take action, he said, gover nments — responding to public concerns — will force them to adopt costly harvesting procedures, and turn Vast areas into parks or wilderness areas safe from chainsaws. “You are no longer simply in the logging business,”” said Reed “You are in the business of wise use and conser vation, or youdon’t deserve to be in business at all EXPRESS DOUBT Reed said he does not believe ‘‘all that scare talk” in the news media of global ecological disaster “But perceptions count, regardless of the facts Let's not wait until the environmentaLactivist forces the last ounce of public sympathy from the industry ledger.” Reed said logging companies should set up their own standards, and reward and penalize managers on their protection of the environment, not just. their ability to get wood cheaply to the mill Weldwood of Canada Ltd. hired biologist Rick Bonar last year for its Hinton, Alta., pulp mill. Bonar, Who spoke at the meeting, said he believes he is the first biologist to get such a job in Alberta. He said in an interview he advises the company on how to maintain the habitat for 277 wildlife and bird species which live in 10,000 square kilometres of old forest in northwestern Alberta on which the firm has cutting rights. Frank Oberle, federal minister of state for forestry, said in a luncheon speech that he will be lobbying at cabinet to renew the federal-provincial forest resource development agreements, which .provided matched federal funds for reforestation Five-year agreements with six provinces run out at the end of this month, and three more expire in March, 1990. Don Laishley, forest resource manager at the Hin ton mill, said that lumber and pulp companies used to be the sole occupants of vast tracts of Crown land, and did as they pleased. He said government has to accept responsibility for using its part of the forest revenues for other purposes than reforestation and environment protection Complaint filed after takeover OTFAWA (CP) — The Consumers’ Association of Canada has filed a for mal complaint over PWA Corp.'s takeover of the money-losing airline Wardair The complaint was filed March 14 with the Bureau of Competition Policy, a federal regulatory agency. David McKendry, a spokesman for the association's regulated industries program, said that after investigating the complaint, the bureau must report to the minister of consumer and cor- porate affairs. The minister must then make a for- mal statement on the results of the in: vestigation and explain the reasons for his views “No one now has any knowledge of the kind of investigation they're doing, whether it is more than an informal discussion with the parties,"” McKen- dry said. ‘We hope this complaint emphasizes to the bureau that this is a serious matter from the point of view of consumers."" It was filed under a provision of the Competition Act that allows any six Canadian citizens to complain when they believe the act has been violated PWA, which already owns Calgary based Canadian Airlines International — the country’s second largest airline Credit rating unchanged TORONTO (CP) After taking a hard look at Stone Container Corp. and its ability\to swallow Con solidated-Bathurst Inc. of Montreal, a leading U.S. credit agency has decided to leave the Chicago company’s rating unchanged Moody’s Investors Services Inc. of New York said that credit ratings on Stone's public debt and that of its major affiliates will not be cut because of Stone's decision to borrow an ad- ditional $2.6-billion to buy Con solidated-Bathurst Ann Powers, a senior Moody's analyst, said the agency. began its review in late January, as soon as it got news of the ~Consolidated-Bathurst deal. Stone Container is a major U.S. manufacturer of ‘Brown paper”’ items such as containerboard — the heavy, three-ply paperboard used in large cardboard boxes The purchase of Consolidated Bathurst, a major Canadian_ forest products company, catapults Stone in to place as one of the largest pulp and paper producers in the world Combined sales of the two com panies are expected to exceed $7 billion and their annual production capacity to total about 6.8 million tonnes. Food should be taxed, consumer group says TORONTO (CP) Canada’s largest consumer group is urging the federal government to tax food and other basic items instead of exempting them from a proposed new sales tax na study to be released today in Ot a, the 140,000-member Consumers »ociation of Canada says no in: stry including banks, home Iders, pharmaceutical companies or the grocery industry — should be exempt from the new federal sales tax “The case for exempting basic necessities is-weak,-says the report, prepared with the help of Global Economics Lid., an Ottawa-based consulting firm specializing in economic analysis In an Ottawa dispatch, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported the Dividend payable July 1 B.C.

The purchase must be approved by the bureau and the National Tran sporation Agency The association’s complaint says that if the acquisition gets federal ap- proval, Canadian Airlines will control 44 per cent of the market for scheduled Passenger flights“in the country and Air Canada will’essentially control the rest SMALLSHARE Although Wardair has only seven per cent of the market, the complaint says the airline has an important in- fluence on the airline industry because its economy fares are generally lower than those of Air Canada and Canadian Airlines. PWA's offer for Wardair closes April 14 and PWA president Rhys Eyton has said. he expects federal authorities t6 make a decision by the end of April McKendry said the association decided to file the complaint because the transportation agency turned down its request for public hearings on the deal.
