Robinson lashes out at CSIS

OTTAWA (CP) — The government must end ‘edi

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 “

“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 down

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 taken by many people.
