By PAUL KORING LONDON (CP)'— At the end of his Easterf European swing, Prime Minister Trudeau suggested the debate on East-West issues might be more productive if the media were excluded. Referring to an international symposium in Davos, Switzerland, where he participated in a panel discussion with other leaders, the prime minister said such exchanges would be more fruitful if they were private. His musings during that discussion about the credibility of NATO's fundamental military strategy produced a political brouhaha back in Ottawa. The prime minister was apparently annoyed by media coverage of his expressions of doubt that a U.S. president would risk nuclear war to save Europe from an invasion by Warsaw Pact forces. Yet it was Trudeau, who also attended closed sessions at the symposium, who chose the one session attended by the media to make his comments. He also alluded to his doubts about the credibility of NATO's first-use option in his publicly delivered opening statement. And it was Trudeau who tried to bolster his argument by citing the right to ask questions in a democracy During the session he chided former French premier Raymond Barre for refusing to say whether he believed Washington would order the use of nuclear weapons to save Europe. After Barre said the question should not even be considered, Trudeau replied: “Democracies don't work that way “People are entitled to ask questions otherwise they will not support their governments.” The apparent contradiction between Trudeau's defence of the democratic right to ask questions and his quite considerable efforts to exclude the media under. scores one of his peace initiatives most significant failures. Since he launched his personal crusade last October, the prime minister has visited six Western European capitals, the Commonwealth Conference in New, Dehli, Japan, China, Washington and three Warsaw Pact countries. made it clea} that he would just s.e00m not Wave any along. Even on net week's swing to three Warsaw Pact countries, Trudeau met only three times with reporters and then for what were described as orgatized serums, rather than formal news conferences. It is no surprise that representatives of other than Canadian news organizations are mystified by the Trudeau initiatives. Most have only the vaguest of notions about what Trudeau is trying to do. Nor is ‘it solely a function of Canada's relative unimportance as far as international news organizations are concerned. The prime minister's office makes no obvious effort to brief foreign journalists about Trudeau's proposals. The result is that Trudeau's initiative has been largely ignored by the American and Western European media. His Eastern European trip got virtually no mention in British, French or American newspapers. Even the English-language International Herald-Tribune, publish ed in Paris, ignored the trip. Trudeau's comments about NATO in Davos produced a story in the New York Times but it was about the domestic political flap in Ottawa rather than the peace initiative itself. Similarly, Newsweek's international edition made reference last week to the letter to Trudeau from ailing Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. But the newsmagazine reported the letter only in light of Andropov’s health and didn’t refer to the reason for Trudeau's request to visit Moscow. Trudeau may prefer to conduct his international diplomacy without the attentions of the news media. However, as the focus of the initiative shifts from a personal crusade by the prime minister of a broader Canadian initiative, the lack of international attention may be more detrimental. ‘Trudeau has played on his own international stature and his access to other leaders to undertake his initiatives so far. FORMER SOCRED CANDIDATE SUES VANCOUVER (CP) — A former Social Credit can didate now on welfare has launched a Federal Court of Canada action against the federal government for not finding him a job. Walter Muller, 41, claims in a writ filed Monday that Employment and Immigra. tion Minister John Roberts and Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan should be com pelled to supply him with “appropriate job referrals to both private and public sec tors.” Muller claims he has been repeatedly denied jobs in the civil service and has not been referred by employment and immigration staff to jobs for which he was qualified. His application for a writ of mandamus is based on sec tions of the Employment and Immigration Act that he says make it mandatory for the government to offer him job opportunities. He said he has been vic: timized by federal officials because he was critical of federal government opera tions in the past. Muller, who is also a Swiss citizen, fled to that country in July, 1978, after being charged in connection with a forged ‘memo that was cir- culated to British Columbia New Democratic Party mem- bers and purported to show that the federal government was investigating provincial labor leaders. He returned to Canada in 1982 to face the forgery charges and was given 60 days in jail for failure to appear at his trial. Muller moved to Canada when he was nine. In 1965 he was a member of the NDP, which he left to form the Canadian Bulldog party, whose aim was the separa tion of Quebec from the rest of the country. In 1974 he was an un. successful federal Social Credit candidate for Van. couver Centre.

Safe for microwaves. Island as a wilderness park, says a long-time opponent of logging on the remote island. John Broadhead, director of the Islands Protection So- ciety, said he believes cabinet ministers who attended an environmental land use com- mittee meeting are “going to take their time . . . and be really careful about what they're going to do” about the island's future. While Broadhead made his case in Victoria, 350 people gathered in the Robson Square Media Centre in Vancouver to see his so- ciety's travelling slide pres- entation and offer donations to fight logging on the island, located in the Queen Char- lottes’ group off the northern B.C. coast. Broadhead said he told the committee and its chairman Environment Minister Tony Brummet that southern Moresby could become a world-class tourist attraction and Western Forest Prod- ucts, which owns timber rights on much of the island, could be satisfied if it is given alternative land to log. “I told them that they could come out looking good on an environmental issue for a change,” Broadhead said. Tom Schneider told the crowd at the Vancouver slide show, that southern Moresby “Unique to the island are seven kinds of flowers, eight kinds of mammals, three types of land birds, five kinds of clams and 30 or 40 vari- eties of lichens and mosses, said the Queen Charlottes’ resident. holidays,” he said. “Not wa- terslides.” Bald eagles nest on Mores- by Island in the densest con- centration in all Canada and there are more Peregrine falcons per hectare than any- where else in the world, Schneider said.
