How UBC got its lates tphilanthropical blessing
from a war profiteer
By NATE SMITH
Who is Cecil Green and why is hedoing those wonderful things for us?
This week's issue of UBC PReport sproudly trumpets the fact that "formerUBC student" (dropout would be a mor eprecise term) Cecil H . Green, of CecilGreen Park fame, has given the university$600,000 to establish a series of visitin gprofessorships .
The story quotes physics departmen thead George Volkoff, chairman of thecommittee to administer the fund, assaying he is considering such people as"physicists Linus Pauling and RobertOppenheimer" as possible visitingprofessors under the fund .
A course taught by Oppenheimerwould certainly be interesting, since "thefather of the atomic bomb" has bee ndead almost five years . (Volkoff i scertainly up on the physics world .)
For Pauling (who is now a chemist, b ythe way) to come to UBC on fundsprovided by Cecil Green would be purestirony .
Pauling is a leader of the Americanpacifist movement and a former winnerof the Nobel Peace Prize ; Green's fortuneis based largely on the supply of strategi cequipment to the U.S . military .
He is, in fact, a full fledged member i ngood standing of the legendarymilitary-industrial complex .
Favors from LB JGreen was a founder of Texas
Instruments Ltd. and, at the age of 71 ,still sits on the company's board o fdirectors .
TI is an international corporationdealing in transistors, semi-conductors ,computers, the U .S . space program an dsundry other electronic gadgetry, based i nDallas with subsidiaries in Canada ,Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan ,Taiwan, Singapore, Argentina, Brazil ,Mexico, Australia and the Netherlands .
Its products, listed in the curren tStandard and Poor's industrial directory ,include such items as air-to-groun dmissiles and armaments, radar systems ,military data systems, "target detectionand acquisition programs" and underse awarfare signal studies .
In the past, TI has also developedguidance systems for the RF4 Phantom,A7 Corvair II and F111A fighter planes .
As an example of its profitablerelationship with the Pentagon, TI's ne wcontracts and new extensions of existingcontracts from the U .S . Air Force alon ehave totalled $24 million so far this year .
Like so many corporations, TI ha sgrown spectacularly in recent years — agrowth that is directly attributable to th ewar in Vietnam and the increasin gpurchases by the military .
In 1963, the year before the U.S .began its major escalation in Vietnam ,TI's total sales were $276,476,571 and itsnet income was $13,420,980 .
By the end of last year, sales had mor ethan tripled, increasing to $827,641,000 ,and net income had risen to $29,861,000 .
Most of that growth occurred betwee n1964 and 1968, while Lyndon Johnso nwas president .
Like all Texas defence industries, TI
prospered from the presence of a Texanin the White House .
During the LBJ years, defence plantssuddenly began sprouting like weedseverywhere in Texas and the state 'sdefence industry suddenly became th esecond largest in the U .S .
(As far as TI, at least, is concerned ,the changing of the guard in Washingto ndid little to reverse the trend .)
The company did not hesitate inshowing its gratitude to LBJ for pas tfavors .
When Johnson 's closest politica lassociate, John B. Connally, steppe d-down as governor of Texas in 1969, hewas appointed to the TI board ofdirectors .
The move didn't exactly hurt TI' smilitary contacts, since Connally had alsoserved as Secretary of the Navy in th eearly days of the Kennedyadministration .
Connally, of course, has since left th eTI board to design and guide Richar dNixon 's new economic policy as secretaryof the treasury and is widely mentione das a possible vice-presidential candidate i fNixon chooses to dump Spiro Agnew fo rthe 1972 election .
Obviously, the pipeline to the Whit eHouse is still functioning .
So much for the corporation, but wha tabout the man? _
Cecil Howard Green was born inManchester, England and raised inVancouver .
He entered UBC in 1918 to studyengineering, but left in 1921 withou tcompleting his degree because, at thattime, UBC had no course in his chose nspecialty of electrical engineering .
He went to the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, where he got hi sbachelor's degree in electrical engineeringin 1923 and his master's the followin gyear .
After graduation, he worked as anengineer for such companies as Genera lElectric (Schenectady, N .Y .), Raytheo nManufacturing (Cambridge, Mass .) andFederated Telegraph (Palo Alto, Cal . andNewark, N .J .) .
In 1930, he went to Dallas and helpe dfound Geophysics Service Inc .
He held various positions in thecompany's hierarchy, but in the earlyyears concentrated on work in the fiel drather than the executive suite .
However, he donned the grey flanne lsuit to become the company' svice-president in 1941 and president in1950.
In 1951, GSI organized Texas
Instruments and, through the bafflin gshift of corporate structure, TI becam ethe parent company and GSI th esubsidiary .
Green became a vice-president an ddirector of TI, but remained as presiden tof GSI until 1956, becoming chairman ofthe board in that year and honorarychairman in 1959 .
Green is one of UBC's prizedex-students, a rather unusual state ofaffairs since universities are not know nfor their affection toward people wh odrop out and move to other institutions .
Green's special status undoubtedl ystems from the UBC AlumniAssociation ' s renowned ability to spot adime taped to the tip of a passingair-to-ground missile .
Scraps for UB CThe Alumni Association probably
became aware of Green's wallet first i n1959, when he gave MIT $2,527,500worth of Tf stock to finance a 20-storeyearth sciences building.
On the very sound principle that ifMIT was worth that much to Green, UB Cshould rate a few scraps, UBC gave Gree nan honorary doctor of science degree i n1964.
The citation described him as "a leade rin geophysical exploration whose love fo rscience and higher learning was firs taroused in Vancouver . "
It praised him for his efforts t o"promote, widen and enrich . . . a veryclose and understanding bond betwee nindustry and the universities . "
Suitably flattered, Green cam ethrough with a grant of more than$200,000 for UBC to develop Yorkeen ,the former estate of Sen . S .S . McKeen, a sa centre for "contacts between th euniversity and the community . " (Theproperty had been purchased by th euniversity in 1964 at a price o f$103,000 .)
The property, of course, is now knownas Cecil Green Park, housing the office sof the Alumni Association and beingrented out for wedding receptions an dprivate banquets .
Obviously, Green is pleased with theresults, having now come through wit hhis new $600,000 gift . (Imagine thenervous finance department clerk wh ohad to carry that cheque to the bank . )
At the going interest rates, that kin dof money will buy some high-pricedtemporary help .

`Tenure system ensuresjobs for incompetents '
CALGARY (CUP) — Steps should be taken t oabolish the tenure system at Alberta campuses, theAlberta Association of Students plenary sessionconcluded at their Thanksgiving weeken dconference .
An alternate system proposed by U of Adelegates is the Minnesota system of a three-yea rprobationary period followed by five-yea rrenewable contracts.
The issue was brought into focus in response toa report on tenure presented to the AAS by Ro nMurphy of the University of Calgary .
He pointed out the tenure system freedom is ahangover from the McCarthy era .
"We don't have a similar situation in Canada, "said U of A delegate Don McKenzie .
"Students should fight the concept as a basi cprinciple issue . "
Murphy also advocated the abolition of tenure ."It was once used for the protection of the
academic freedom of faculty members . It is nowused for job security and to hide incompetence," h esaid .
The acceptable causes for revoking tenure noware: moral terpitude, discredit to the academi ccommunity, a lack of service, and the unavailabilityof funds . In other words, tenured professors can stil lbe dismissed at the whim of administrators .

'Moral bankruptcy'The bankruptcy of the American corporate state is the principal
motivation for Nixon's "wind down " of the Vietnam war, said a laborspeaker at Wednesday 's anti-war teach-in .
"As far as we are concerned it was morally bankrupt several year sago," said Phyllis Young of the B .C . Federation of Labor at the UBCanti-war committee sponsored teach-in .
Bill Willmott of the anthropology department said ,"Vietnamization is the use of Asians to solve American problems . "
Links between Vietnam and Amchitka were drawn by Georg eHermanson of the Anglican campus ministry and Shawn Glynn fromthe Student Action Committee on Amchitka .
"Amchitka is the logical outcome of cold war diplomacy, " saidHermanson. He said Canada should get out of the North Atlanti cTreaty Organization and the North American Air Defense Comman dagreements .
Glynn, a high school student said, "The proposed test is a sho wof strength to bully both U.S . allies and non-allies alike ."

Clubs stage annual invasionBy VAUGHN PALMER
UBC ' s annual clubs day came off in typical fashion i nSUB Thursday .
The parachute jump was cancelled because of rain ,the motorcycle ride was cancelled because of rain and thecanoe and ski clubs had to move inside because of rain .
Meanwhile, most clubs put on a competent display ofwhat they are about . Mussoc plugged their musicals ,Radsoc plugged Radio CYVR and the religious club splugged religion .
"Pardon me sir, can I convert you? "The UBC Progressive Conservatives demonstrated the
hardsell tactics which have made them the biggest politica lclub on campus . Besides featuring visits by members o f
What-a letter?An extremely important letter containing statistical
information about food services was sent to the', Exposure column early last week .
The letter was lost, in typical Art Smolensk yfashion . Unfortunately we do not have the name of thi sperson nor his phone number .

parliament, they played the collected speeches of Bo bStanfield, and that took guts .
Their competition didn't do so well .The New Democratic Party had an entire boot h
where they didn't once mention their new leader, David"What's-his-name " .
The Liberals came out in favour of all those wonderfu lissues which Trudeau manages to ignore .
Karl Burau, not outdone by the fact that he lost theroom where his experimental college meets to the Latte rDay Saints, set up a booth and recruited new members .
Interesting contrasts were -available, showing onc eagain that UBC ' s clubs have something for everyone .
For example, downstairs, theAnti-War Club ha dposters to turn both mind and stomach against war, whileupstairs, the Thunderbird War Games Club manoeuvre dtoy tanks and men, in a display of dehumanization, thatwould please the best `minds' of the Pentagon .
"How many megadeaths is that, Charlie? "In the middle of it all, the alternate food servic e
ruthlessly sold their huge eight cent cookies, while in th eSUB cafeteria the university food service, (SLOPSOC) ,performed .

From The McGill Daily Quebec ServiceMONTREAL — Six hundred faculty members at th e
Universite du Quebec at Montreal (UQAM) went on strik eWednesday, calling for a new collective agreement and th erecognition of their union as the sole representative for al lfaculty, including vice-deans and department heads .
UQAM now joins the Universite de Montreal and Si rGeorge Williams University as an "exploiter of th eworkers" .
One thousand office workers and laborator ytechnicians have been on strike at the U de M since Oct . 4 .
Library workers at Sir George have been engaged in anine-month running battle with the administration t oobtain recognition for their union .
The UQAM strikers set up picket lines at 5 p .m .Wednesday and most of the members of the Syndicat de sProfesseurs de 1'Universite du Quebec (SPUQ) turned out .All students had been locked out of the university an hou rearlier .
It is illegal for other UQAM employees to strike i nsympathy . They are forced to report for work ever ymorning, even though they are barred from enterin gbuildings by the picketers .
Points at issue in the UQAM dispute include wages ,working conditions and job security . SPUQ is alsoobjecting to the U de M administration's attempt to brea kunion solidarity be classifying vice-deans and departmen theads as administrators .
One union member predicted the UQAM strike coul dlast as long as three weeks :
In the past two weeks sympathetic students an dfaculty from UQAM have joined the striking U de Mworkers on the picket lines. A spokesman for the U de M' sLocal 1244 of the Canadian Union of Public Employee spromised this gesture of solidarity would be reciprocated .
No delegation from McGill has yet helped out the Ude M picketers, even though students from Quebec City' sLaval University have made a pilgrimage to the U de M a san indication of their support for the strike .
Local 1244 is affiliated with the Quebec Federatio nof Labor . SPUQ is an affiliate of the Confederation o fNational Trade Unions .
The U de M strikers are now examining a ne wadministration proposal submitted by provincial mediato rYvan Dansereau .
The workers overwhelmingly rejected an earlier offe rlast week as `ridiculous' and `insulting'.
The U de M administration refuses to acknowledg etheir demand for parity in wages and working condition swith other Quebec universities .
The strikers are also fighting for job security and th eclear definition of their jobs .
Morale is still high on the U de M picket lines an dmany students and faculty members have demonstrate dtheir support .
The Association des Professeurs de l'Universite deMontreal is also backing the strike . Its members voted158 to 124 Tuesday to respect the picket lines, blockin gan attempt by anti-union elements to return to work .
Head againsttenure for 2
Anthropology and sociology department head Cyri lBelshaw has recommended against tenure for assistan tsociology professors Ron Silvers and Matt Speier .
By opposing their tenure (guaranteed permanen temployment at UBC) Belshaw overruled the decisio nmade by the anthrosoc promotions and tenur ecommittee last week to grant the two professors tenure .
In response to this the graduate students of th edepartment have created a committee to consider bot hthe general process of promotion and tenure in thedepartment and the decisions mad ethiss year .
The committee urgently wan tto hear from students who hav etaken courses from any of the sixprofessors, involved in the tenureproceedings .
The other four professors areGeorge Gray, Bob Ratner, RobinRidington and Robert MacDougall .
Gray, Ratner and Ridington' scases appear to be more secure but
BELSHA WMacDougall, who has taken a leave of abscence, has notbeen recommended for tenure by the tenure committe eor Belshaw .
Students should send their opinions about th eteaching they received to James Heap in Henry Angu s351 .
The committee will submit briefs reporting it sconclusions to the anthrosoc department and to thepromotions and tenure committee of the faculty of arts .

DemocracyThe current controversy in th e
anthropology-sociology department opens up thequestion of tenure in general .
In tenure disputes in recent years thi squestion has often been overlooked, and insteadwe have seen certain professors denied tenure an dthen turned — rightly or wrongly — into martyrs .
Ironically, they have been turned int omartyrs by supporters who often hav efundamental disagreements with the object of th estruggle : tenure.
Thus we find ourselves faced with a divisio nbetween means and ends. Schizophrenically, weprotest when good, competent profs are screwe dby the inequities of the tenure-judging structure ,yet at the same time — dispute whether tenureshould exist .
Since we object to tenure on principle, an dsince it has proved to be mainly a vehicle bywhich narrow, conservative mediocrity i s

perpetuated at universities, we must fight for analternative .
Specifically that alernative should be a for mof institutionalized job security for professors i nwhich undergraduate and graduate students ,community representatives and faculty membersmake hiring and firing decisions .
Although such committees — the most basi cof which should exist at the department level —would give a professor job security after an initia lprobation period, such security would notconstitute guaranteed life employment as thetenure system virtually does .
The standard union principle — that a perso nmust not be fired unless it is proven she or he i sunable to properly do her or his job — woul dprevail . However, if sufficient complaint wasmade by any group about a professor' scompetence, the departmental committee woul dbe free to review a professor's case with a view t ocontinuing or terminating employment .
So .Tenure must give way to job security . And
job security must be based on a democrati csystem of judgment .
Until such time as this is carried out, we wil lcontinue to see the expulsion of profs whos esocial commitments do not include doing researc hfor Gulf Oil . Whose sense of priority an dresponsibility prohibits rotten teaching . Whoseorientation is not towards raking in bigger an dbetter corporation grants for UBC .
Although we must still contend with tenur ecommittees stacked with the Old Guard and slick ,proper department heads like former colonia ladministrator Cyril Belshaw of anthrosoc, ther eare signs that the natives are restless .
Anthrosoc grad students are at last realizingthat they can only accomplish their ends b yworking collectively, and a groundswell of protestappears to be developing among the department' sjunior faculty members .
Sociology professors are indulging . in morethan idle talk about splitting away from th eanthropologists .

Well, UBC PReports has done it again .In the finest tradition of flackery, the
administration's propaganda sheet has turne dblack into white, dipped it in a candy coating ofomission and published the resulting goody .
We refer to PReports' Oct . 13 announcementthat war profiteer Cecil Green and "his wife"(mustn't forget the little woman) have given UB C$600,000 with which a fund for visitingprofessorships is to be established .
As a side issue, it's hilarious to note that on eof the proposed visiting professors had been dea dfor a few years, and at least one other is a pacifist .
But more fundamental is the spectacle of th euniversity scrambling for a cut of the spoils ofwar gleaned by this ex-student through th emanufacture of military goods for the U .S .
Of course, UBC has never been backwardabout accepting money from corporate villain s(who usually use such grants as tax write-off sanyway) .
But for obvious reasons, the acceptance ofCecil Green's money is especially disgustin gbecause the university is revealing its ugliest facet .
It is literally blood money .Let's not forget, though, that it's no acciden t
that UBC is acquiring these funds .The university is merely a part of the system -
which it serves, and serving the capitalist systemmeans espousing its values — the values tha tproduce the thousands of Cecil Greens, large an dsmall, who hold power .
And naturally, the university also does it spart to produce what administration presiden tWalter Gage calls "a good product . "
Yeah, Cecil Green is a good product all right .Swell . Pour some more of that -
blood-and-guts bread on us Cece, and we'll makesure we manufacture lots more people to wor kfor men like you .
And we'll promise not to even think abou tyour armaments, U .S. imperialism, the Vietna mWar and all that blood.

itself turns out to be acompromise to facilitate capita lexpansion, the secure Canada as aneo-colonial base for Britainagainst U.S . expansion and anattempt to placate what theEnglish rulers knew would be arebellious Quebec . John A.MacDonald wanted a legislativeunion which would havecompletely taken autonomy fro mQuebec .
All this because of th edevelopment of a class andnational antagonism whichremains to this day . In light ofthis, talk of constitutional reformby Ottawa technocrats become sludicrous.
In fact Ryerson has somewords for Trudeau in thepostcript to the book. Trudeau 'sconfederation schemes become"the Trudeau conjuring-trick"which "would cause the nationalfact of French Canada to vanish" .The interests of the Canadia nstatus quo necessitate the denialof national (read class) struggl efor that is just what the Quebe crevolution is all about . True tothese interests Trudeau hasbranded national sovereignty a s"absurd and retrograde", leavin gthe way open to an affirmation o foutside imperialist control of anygiven nation and people at an ygiven time .
Trudeau 's fallacy "is rooted inan abstract metaphysic," state sRyerson . Trudeau call snationalism per se the cause o fwar. Ryerson's reply: "Not `th eprinciple of nationalities ' bu tcapitalist development and th erise of the bourgeoisie are th ereason for the wars an drevolutions of the post-feuda lera ." An additional lengthy quot efrom Ryerson is necessary here.
": . . the twentieth centuryemergence of monopolycapitalist imperialism hasbrought with it a dualprocess: nationalism beingexploited by the ultra-righ tand fascism, and tidalcounter-movements ofnational colonial revolt an dsocialist revolution . So longas imperialism engendersnational oppression, th e'principle of nationality 'will have the validity of anassertion of democratic,community rights . "This is something the Liberal
Party and bourgeois theoretician slike Trudeau will neve runderstand simply because theyare engaged in the process o fselling out both Quebec andCanada to outside interests ,notably the U.S. Of coursenationalism is dangerous to thei rinterests and, as Ryerson point sout, the national struggle inQuebec and Canada today is i nreality the struggle againstcorporate capitalism .
The "unequal union" is a factof our existence and for Ryerso nit has a dual yet closely relate dnature . It is the unequal union ofCanada and Quebec and theinequality of the class structur ewhich perpetuates the nationalinequality in Canada .
The historical continuumprevails to this day and "noamount of sentimental invocationof the rule or reason, no dosage of .`rational functionalism' ca nexorcise the hard facts ofdual-national existence, and ofresentments engendered bynational inequality" .

Inside the liberation CellBy T. R . STAFFOR D
Brian Moore, The Revolution Script ,McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1971 .
I read The Revolution Script straigh tthrough in one sitting (finished it at 2 i nthe morning) and felt like it washappening all over again . Once yo ubegin Brian Moore's fictional account o flast October's kidnappings of Britis hdiplomat James Cross and Quebe cLabor Minister Pierre Laporte by theFLQ, it's hard to put down .
Written from the point of view of th ekidnappers, Moore, one of Canada' sbest-known novelists (he's written Th eLuck of Ginger Coffey and I Am MaryDunne among his half dozen books)succeeds in doing two things that othe raccounts of those events haven't done .
Moore 's major achievement is thatwe come to see the Liberation Cell tha tcaptured Cross as a group of real huma nbeings with understandable human fear sand aspirations . In this emotionall ysuccessful recreation of October, 197 0in Montreal, Brian Moore restores th eabsolutely vital dimension of th eordinary world — streets, stores, tv ,food, intimate conversations — that thekidnappers move in, as we do.
Also, he demonstrates how much o four sense of reality has been swallowe dup by media: as you read the novel yo urealize that all communication betwee nthe FLQ and the government take splace on tv, radio, and in the dail ypapers . Both sides are struggling t ocontrol the media . Moore suggests tha tone of the major reasons for Trudea uinvoking the War Measures Act is to gainlegal control, for a period, of all media ,in order to prevent people fromunderstanding the FLQ position . Th efrightening aspect of all this is th esuggestion that manipulation of th emedia (largely by business-politicalpowers now in control of our society )gradually comes to replace freediscussion of political questions .
As Moore gives us close-ups of th eFLQ members, we begin to understan dthe reasons for their actions .
We enter the thoughts of MarcCarbonneau, a cab driver, the oldes tmember of the group :
All cab drivers are slaves, Marcsaid. All of them suffer the samethings. The big shot fare who throwsyour money into the front seat sothat you 'll have to bend down topick it up: the English Canadian ssitting in the back seat, talking toeach other about their crooked dealsand asking where they can find a gir lto fuck. And five times out of six,the whore getting into your cab withsome 60 year old Anglo is an 18 yearold French Canadian girl just out ofconvent school . . . Yes, you sat theredriving the cab while someWestmount Anglo bastard wa sgroping a kid in the back seat, and ifhe saw you look at him through th erear view mirror, he'd just wink ,because what does he care, to tha tAnglo you're just some smellypeasouper, a servant . . . wasn't it justas Pierre said, we 're their whiteniggers. French Canadians are justshit to them. Yes, real educationbegan, not in school, but in thosemonths I drove a taxi.
Moore takes us back, minute b yminute, through the suspenseful grab ofCross . And then we're moving throughthe streets of Montreal .
A taxi was normal, even invisible ,coming out of this rich man's street .In silence they drove in an easterly
direction, doubling back on atwo-way street, passing studen tresidences and university buildings,seeing files of McGill students, manyof them long-haired Easy Ridersambling to morning classes, booksunder their arms, English Canadian swho, despite their Berkeleyian cool,were bent, as always, on acquiringthose skills — engineering ,management and scientific — whic hin a hundred years of so-calle dparity, few French Canadians havemastered. The taxi moved past . . .
It's in these passing details that w eget a feeling for how the facts of dail ylife continually remind the Quebecois oftheir oppression .
And in case we think the oppressionis merely symbolic, Moore reminds us o fthe hard facts, as the car passes intoFrench Montreal :
In this dormitory of cheap laborwere congregated the huma nstatistics of these young men 's rage.Forty per cent of Canada'sunemployed live in Quebec, despit ethe fact that the province, twice asbig as Texas, is as rich as it is vast . Itis also, lamentably, a haven forforeign capital and a source ofnon-union labor. Americancorporations own sixty per cent ofthe province's industry. EnglishCanadian companies own or controlmost of the remainder. EnglishCanadians, who make up only 17 percent of the population, provide th evast majority of managers andexecutives . The language ofcommand in this French-speakingprovince is, astonishingly, English .Unemployment hovers chronicallyaround ten per cent . . .
Moore takes us as far inside thatapartment where the FLQ and Crosswere as it's possible to do . The style o fjournalistic fiction justifies itself by alife-like mix of public political event sand the details of private life . A grea tdeal of the abstraction we associate wit hpolitics disappears .
When we arrive at that moment whe nthe Liberation Cell and Cross arewatching the reading of the FLQManifesto on tv, Moore gives us anappreciation of what it meant to theyoung revolutionaries . "For the firs ttime in the history of Canada, it was th eangry, confused voice of thelumpenproletariat in the nation's mos texploited region, the voice of th eFrench defeat in a country which hastraditionally papered over its racia ldifferences with a thick paste ofhypocrisy about a `biculturalism' which ,in fact, does not exist . "
As one reads the Manifesto (whic hMoore reprints in his novel, word fo rword), one is struck by the particularit yof it . It isn't at all a rhetorical cry froma bunch of anarchist terrorists, bu trather a statement by and for a noppressed working class which deal swith specific political occasions in thehistory of Quebec . It is an attack o nimperialism and capitalism, and readin git a year later, in the context of Moore ' snarrative, it comes through witheloquence .
The Revolution Script, with all th elimitations it has — simply, it's not a`great' novel — is nonetheless a boo kthat ought to be read. Not only does i twork on the level of suspense, i tincreases our understanding of certai nevents as no ` factual ' account has done .

"Just watch me"By STAN PERSKY
Denis Smith, Bleeding Hearts . . . BleedingCountry, M .G. Hurtig, Edmonton, 197 1
Denis Smith says :1/ Pierre Eliot Trudeau badly mishandled the
October 1970 crisis when he invoked the Wa rMeasures Act ,
and attributed the prime minister's action t otwo sources :
2/ Trudeau 's opposition to separatism whic hamounts to undemocratic and dogmati cfederalism, and
3/ Trudeau's theory of democracy, which i snarrow and authoritarian .
Smith's Bleeding Hearts . . . is thus a harsh andwell-argued condemnation of the actions an dtheory of the Trudeau government during the WarMeasures Act period as well as a critique of it spolitical philosophy .
Smith's book, where it goes deeper than th eevents of last October, is a defence of democraticidealism . The theory of democratic idealism isadmirable in theory (it's reasonable, tolerant an dfull of good will) but slightly misleading inpractice . It leads one to assume that in addition t oSmith, a professor of politics at Trent, there is alarge body of democratic idealists.
More seriously, such a view tends t ode-emphasize issues of political economy . That is ,this theory would prefer to pass over the strugglein Canada between capitalism and socialism. Smithhas only a passing reference to Trudeau ' s supportof a "market economy that reflects an indifferenc eto the problems of monopoly control, incomedistribution, technological unemployment, th emulti-national corporation," etc . The socialis tclaim that a capitalist system of this sort inevitabl ymakes real democracy impossible is never take nup .
With these warnings in hand, it is possible to goon to an appreciation of Smith's attack o nTrudeau's authoritarianism and why it poses adanger to the country .
The slightly cumbersome title of the bookcomes from Trudeau's revealing comments of las tOct . 13 : Trudeau : Yes, well there are a lot of
bleeding hearts around who just don 't like tosee people with helmets and guns. A1lI can sayis, to on and bleed, but it is more important tokeep law and order in the society than to b eworried about weak-kneed people . . .Reporter : At any cost? How far would you gowith that? How far would you extend that ?Trudeau : Well, just watch me.
Watching Trudeau is exactly what Smithproposes to do, for he is justifiably suspicious o fthose who play fast and loose with civil liberties .
The government claimed that in the acts of th eFLQ they saw an insurrection taking shape an dthus were justified in placing human life second tothe maintenance of the state by invoking the Wa rMeasures Act . Smith examines the governmen tclaim . And he persuasively argues, on the evidence ,that the government case was confused, inflated ,and false, a view that many Canadians have alsocome to since last year's events .
Smith makes a useful distinction betwee nactual events and the image-making of the prim eminister . He describes Trudeau 's martial law tvspeech as "a brilliant performance, and it succeed-ed overwhelmingly as advocacy . As rationalargument, however, it was a demagogic display ofcharged language, clever device, undefende dassertion, and questionable psychology . "
Smith is unequivocable on what should havebeen done last year : the government should hav enegotiated with the FLQ, released some politicalprisoners, and saved LaPorte's life . Smith isconvinced that the FLQ's offer to negotiate wa shonest and that the life of LaPorte was saveable ."To put life first in this kind of crisis is only t oreaffirm the standards of decency and humanit ywe so glibly proclaim in the abstract . It is, in asense, an act of weakness for the state ; but i nanother sense, it is an act of moral strength, for i tdemonstrates that life is actually regarded mor ehighly than political face ." The democratic idealis tposition is quite clear on this point : when theauthority of the state appears to be in danger, th esituation must be much more carefully examined
than was done by Trudeau before citizen's right sare to be tampered with . Human life comes first ,except in the rarest cases, and the October crisi swasn't one of those rare cases, Smith concludes .
In Smith 's political philosophy, the idea of th estate has a central place, but he balances th epossible dangers of this view by insisting that th efirst responsibility of government is protection o findividual rights . At the heart of his argument i shis disagreement with Trudeau's overly-influentia lposition in Canadian political theory and withTrudeau's theory itself . Nor is Smith happy withTrudeau' s propaganda tactics .
Smith deplores Trudeau 's style of"psychological violence" which is manifested in"his persistant tendency to identify his opponent sas extremists and absolutists : they are nevergranted the respect of being reasonable, moderate ,or practical men . They must always be pushed t othe extreme so that their claims are made toappear absurd, ignorant, irrational, frenzies, o rmad . "
Trudeau tends to lump anyone that disagree swith him with the most extreme elements of th eFLQ, Smith says . He's referring particularly t opeople like Parti Quebecois leader Rene Levesqueand Le Devoir editor Claude Ryan, both of whomoppose Trudeau's federalism, a doctrine whichSmith believes has been turned into an absolutis tdogma by the prime minister .
Furthermore, in analyzing the FLQ as ananarchist movement with historical roots, Smit hdefends the legitimacy of their existence, thoughhe doesn't agree with their actions . "The FLQ i snot an alien infection, a `cancer' to be rooted ou tof the body politic, " he says . "It is, rather, onemanifestation of deep and widespread humanfrustrations in Quebec society . . . The declaration sand impudent acts of the terrorists speak to thecomplacent part of the community, and to th epolticians, of the depth of these frustrations ; andthose silent, passive, beaten citizens who canno tspeak for themselves recognize their own voices insuch acts . "
Although I'm unable to take up the issue here ,Smith's claim about the anarchist character of theFLQ is most debatable . A reading of the FL QManifesto or Pierre Valliere's White Niggers o fNorth America, with their emphasis on theconcept of working class, and their attack o ncapitalism and imperialism, are far from thepriority of the individual that we associate wit hanarchism. (Vallieres, in fact, whose range ofphilosophic reading has gone unappreciated,
attacks Sartre exactly on the question ofindividualism . )
The crisis and the acts of the government hav eraised some important questions about politica llife in Canada, Smith says . "The crucial points ofconcern are how the Canadian system permits thepublic will to be expressed, how clearly an dimmoveably the line is drawn between th elegitimate and the illegitimate expression ofdissent, and how the community allows itself t oreply to acts of dissent which are considered to b ebeyond what is legitimate . "
Smith is much more worried about whatgovernments are likely to do in suchcircumstances, than he is about the dangers of th epeople . He claims that the government response t othe FLQ was a "combination of a shallow libera lcommitment to the democratic process and adeeper dependence upon justification by force . "
He challenges Trudeau 's position that politicalauthority is granted essentially through th eelectoral system . Smith argues that there is atraditional theory of democracy in Canada that i sfar more flexible and broader than Trudeau' sdistorted view of electoral primacy . No doubt ,lurking behind this disagreement, is his suspicio nof Trudeau's consistant manipulation of the publicmedia .
Smith emphasises "that the Canadianconstitution is a mixed system, which lacks an yclear location . of sovereighty or source o flegitimacy . It is misleading in both fact and spiritto claim that polular election is the simple andstraightforward source of legitimate authority inCanada." The virtue of this system is that i t"allows for a substantial judgment of whethe rauthority actually performs acts which serve th einterest of the citizens" .
At the base of Smith's case is anotherfundamental principle : "There are always limits todemocratic authority . The use of violence orcoercion by the state can be as great a threat to itslegitimacy as may be their use by opponents of theregime . "
One comes away from Bleeding Hearts . . . wit hthe suspicion that Pierre Eliot Trudeau and histheory of authoritarian `democracy' is far mor edangerous the Canada than the `anarchist' wing o fthe separatist movement .
Denis Smith asks the question that is on thehorizon : "Is it permissible for Quebec to secedepeacefully from Canada? "
Given his theory, he has a clear answer : "Forliberal democrats, as opposed to liberal defender sof vested interests or vested power, the answer canonly be yes ."

Karl Marx: The Passionate Logician ;by Joel Carmichael, Scribner's, Paper ,$Not worth it at any price .
Bourgeoisie, the Idea of theProletariat, and so on — merelinks in a logical chain.Nowhere does one find support fo r
these abundantly cynical allegations ;in fact, reading between the lines Icontinually sensed that Marx' sconcerns were genuine and heartfelt .Carmichael insists on doing to Marxwhat he accuses Marx of doing to theworld : flattening, devitalizing, makin gacademic .
Carmichael makes good on hi spromise to regard Marx's ideas as amere pendant of his life, but thepromise is only partial . He alsomanages to do the converse. Thereader loses both .
Carmichael is as bad a biographer ashe is a theoretician . Marx, the man, i sturned into an homunculus seenthrough the wrong end of a telescope .His minor failures an ddisappointments are relentlesslyhighlighted . Carmichael delights i nexaggerating such trivia as the fact tha t— much to Marx's chagrin — no on ereviewed Capital for two months afterits publication . (Maybe 'cause it takesthat long to read, which Carmichael ,who describes Capital as "difficult t owade through," probably never ha sdone .)
Marx's principal failure was that h ecould never predict anythingaccurately . His forecasts of imminen tproletarian victory were proven fals etime and time again . As for Russia ,China, Cuba . . . well, Carmichael i stoo busy describing Marx's boils t ogive any attention to the real historica lconsequences of Marxist thought . I tseems that each time we get a glimps eof Marx's genius, Carmichael pokes abeam of light down the back of Marx' spants to reassure himself that thosebuttocks couldn't belong to the mos tinfluential figure of modern history .Behind every great man there stands athird-rate critic with a flashlight .
In fact, Marx did suffer from boil salong with several other physica lailments. His persistent ill-healthresulted largely from the fact that he
because I have no money fo rmedicine. For eight or ten day snow I have fed my family o nbread and potatoes, and it isdoubtful whether I can get anytoday. I cannot write the articlefor New York because I have n omoney to buy the newspaperswhich I need. Last week Iborrowed a few shillings fromsome workers. For me that was
the worst of all, but I had to doit if I was not to starve.It's not surprising that Carmichael ,
on his fat five-figure academic salary ,can afford little sympathy for Marx' shardships. The point of life i nacademia is to dissociate yourself fromthe struggles or ordinary huma nbeings, to see them as "performingcertain socio-economic functions . "You're also programmed to disdain themotives of anyone Who does identifywith the poor and the oppressed .
So when Marx expresses hi scompassion for the lot of the worker she had encountered, when he describe s"the nobility of mankind shining forthin their toil-worn faces," Carmichae lreacts predictably with derision .
The most prominent impression th ebook left with me was the contras tbetween Carmichael's narrow ,comfortable, irrelevant activities andthe amazing scope of Marx's.
Intellectually Marx's genius i sindisputable . His contributions to th efields of philosophy, sociology ,history, economics and politica lscience are truly epoch-making . Fromthese disciplines he weaves a system o fideas that are cosmological in scope .Additionally, he wrote several volumesof poetry, translated a book of Ovid' sverse, wrote a comic novel and aclassical tragedy .
In the face of such staggeringintellectual accomplishments, one cansee why an insecure liberal historianlike Carmichael might be tempted t obe scornful . What is most threateninghowever to ordinary academician sperforming certain socio-economicdysfunctions is that Marx could mak ethe jump from thought to action —whereas they get all wore out jus tmaking the jump from classroom t ofaculty club .
Western dualism has so accustome dus to viewing thought and action a sseparate and exclusive realms that on eresponds almost with disbelief a tMarx 's daily, active immersion inpolitical struggle . It should be kept inmind that he had attained all thecredentials necessary for joining th ecomfortable class of petite-bourgeoi sintellectuals . His commitment topolitical action represents a wilful an dexemplary choice for a life of poverty ,hardship and persecution .
In 1843, The Rhine Gazette, apolitical paper edited by Marx, wa sshut down by the King of Prussia . Tw oyears later, Marx was deported fromFrance as a result of his connection sagain with a radical newspaper .Shortly thereafter, he and Engel sfounded the Communist Party i nBrussels .

for historically
significant events, declares "there wa snot much difference between joinin gthe Communist Party and going to atea party ." The Prussian King woul dhave taken issue, I think, with thi scomparison, for in 1849 he expelledMarx from Prussia on politicalgrounds) . In 1864 in England, Marxhelped to found the InternationalWorkingmen's Association (theInternational) .
In an inexplicable lapse . Carmichae lincludes the following description ,written by Marx 's daughter, Eleanor .The passage is memorable for it scontrast with the depiction we find inthe rest of the book.
In his home life, as in hisintercourse with his friends, andeven with mere acquaintances, Ithink one might say that Kar lMarx's main characteristics werehis unbounded good-humou rand his unlimited sympathy. Hiskindness and patience werereally sublime. A lesssweet-tempered man would hav eoften been driven frantic by th econstant interruptions, th econtinual demands made upo nhim by all sorts of people . . .
But it was in his intercoursewith children that Marx wasperhaps most charming. Surelynever did children have a moredelightful play fellow. Myearliest recollection of him iswhen I was about three yearsold, and "Moor" (Marx'snickname because of his darkcomplexion) was carrying me o nhis shoulder round our smallgarden in Grafton Terrace, andputting convolvulus flowers inmy brown curls. Mohr wasadmittedly a spendid horse . . .
But if Moor was an excellenthorse, he had a still higherqualification . He was a unique ,an unrivaled story-teller . . . Tomy sisters -- I was then too small— he told tales as they went forwalks, and the tales weremeasured by miles, not chapters ."Tell us another mile," was thecry of the two girls.
And Moor would also read tohis children . Thus to me, as tomy sisters before me, he read thewhole of Homer, the wholeNiebelungen Lied, Gudrun, DonQuixote, the Arabian Nights ,etc. As to Shakespeare he wasthe Bible of our house. seldomout of our hands or mouths. Bythe time I was six I knew sceneupon scene of Shakespeare byheart . . .
aCarmichael's biography of Marx iswork of scholarly horseshit . It is
written for someone who wants t oread one source — a cut above Time —on the basis of which he can discountMarxism in its entirety . Someone likeRichard Nixon, a man too busy tospend much time confirming hisvacuous anti-communism .
It's easy to picture Kissinger placinghis pallid hand on Tricky Dick' sshoulder while slipping himCarmichael ' s book — a tranquillizer todispell vague anxieties over therenaissance Marxisrn is enjoying .
One realizes after a few pages that ,as far as Marxist theory is concerned ,the book is biased and simple-minded .However, the author states hi sprincipal concern to be Marx's liferather than his ideas . Carmichael say she has found it illuminating to regardthe latter as a "mere pendant", of th eformer .
Taking him at his word, I figure dthe book would be an innocuous sourc eof biographical facts, things that arehard to distort, like where Marx live dand whom he married and when h epublished what — stuff like that . Infact, the chronological details can b efound but they are padded s ounremittingly with Carmichael' sscornful and unsubstantiatedinterpretations that the reader i srepeatedly tempted to forget th ewhole thing .
While I felt determined to finish th ebook, on page 223 with only 25 pagesto go, I came across this paragraphwhich proved to be the last I coul dstomach :
It is true after all that there areworkers and capitalists ,proletarians and bourgeois : thatis why statements about the msound (sic) convincing. But Marxwas not referring to real workersor bourgeois at all, that is, toordinary human being sperforming certain

Language lifted
out of the ordinary
By TED LYND
George Bowering, Touch, selected poems1960-70, McClelland & Stewart, Toronto ,1971 .
This is national George Bowering Mont hin Canada . McClelland & Stewart havepublished the selected poems of thecountry's best known `younger' poet (age36), and the elegant Coach House Press hasbrought out Geneve, his most recent suite, a swell as The Story So Far, an anthology o fshort prose edited by Bowering which bid sto define what's happening in Canadianexperimental writing .
Touch, Bowering's selected poems of thelast decade, is, as reviewers ofte nmysteriously say, an uneven book . (Whichsimply means that the reviewer dislikes moreof the poems than he likes .)
Bowering, for all the uncertainty of thi sbook, is a strong, serious poet . He knowswhat the job is all about, as he precisely say sin a poem for William Carlos Williams, on eof his early masters :
Language liftedout of the ordinary
into the illuminationof poetry.Where Bowering sticks to the
particularity of known objects, persons an dplaces — which is the lesson of Williams — iswhere he best displays his strength . You fin dit in a landscape sharply caught in arelationship :
The yellow treesalong the rive r
are dying I saidthey are intheir moment of lifeyou said.
You find it in the poems that movespecifically along one of those Albert ahighways Bowering writes about, or in thepoems about his ancestors . The best poem inthe book, hands down, is ` The Descent ' ,where he moves in, through a tangle o fphotographs, to the presence of a part ofhimself that exists in the invoked images o fhis grandfather . Here Bowering cuts deeplyand cleanly into feeling.

over dangerous drop into water belowWhere he goes wrong are in the numerou s
poems whose shape seems preconceived an dthe poet is constrained to fill in the space, aprocedure which is just the opposite o fdiscovering the poem as you go into it .
Large chunks of the book are taken u pwith ambitious projects : the hopeless task o fwriting a serio-comic epic about baseball ; th eeffort to resurrect an Indian legend into alanguage that doesn't sound like AmericanAnthropologist ; an utterly mysterious affai rcalled `Mars' which has the program of eac hpoem being about a number ; and the titl epoem, `Touch', which is certainly acompletely serious work, but whoseintention never becomes clear to this reader .
When I say `ambitious', I don't mean tha tword in a bad sense. As a poet, Boweringisn ' t an opportunist . He doesn't simply takethe easy roads . He tackles experience, as itcomes, in every form, and doggedly followsout the possibility of the poem that issuggested to him . Sometimes he nearlybrings off the unlikeliest prospects . In thegiant baseball poem he decides to crameverything in : the heavenly muses, hischildhood relationship to the game, the lifeof Ted Willians, the death of a poet name dJack Spicer, and the universe shaped like abaseball . Well, of course, it doesn't work ,but it's a good failure, if such a thing ispossible . Not even Bowering ' s considerablewit and generosity can save it, bu tnonetheless, you know it's a poem that's funto hear .
Touch arrives at a convenient moment . Ina recent reading Bowering gave at theVancouver Art Gallery, he read from hi swork-in-progress, Autobiology, a book i nwhich he returns, in prose poems, to hi sliteral origins, in the small-towns of BritishColumbia's orchard country . These poem swere as good as anything I've heard o fBowering ' s . It seems to me that the newwork he's doing picks up from the things Ithink are best in this first selection, Touch ,which despite its problems, is an importan tand readable book .

In the 19th century therewere horrible coffee-table poetrybooks . I think they were calle dsamplers . In the 20th centurythere are things like I Am ASensation . They are stillhorrible .
The components of this typeof non-book include: hip tidbitsof wisdom, poems stuck int ocategories, the current fad inillustrations (tarot cards, comi cstrips and movie stills), an dflashy typography meant t oencourage people not to read .All of this is an ad-man's effor tto make poetry appealing.

Alberta Student Association gets repriev eLAKE ISLE, Alberta (CUP) —
The Alberta Association o fStudents, jeopardized by aUniversity of Alberta studen tunion recommendation to doaway with the association' spermanent secretariat, wa sreprieved last weekend at it sannual conference here .
The UASU which had bee nhaving budget problems, propose da restructuring of theAMS which
would have reduced th eassociation to an informal liaiso nbetween student presidents .
UASU respresentatives sai dthey could lobby more effectivelywith the provincial governmen tthan they could as a member o fthe association .
Later when the smaller Albert aschools protested, they modifie dtheir position .
The University of Calgarydelegates said the largerinstitutions have a duty to th e"emerging campuses" .
The final vote, the UAS Uresolution was defeated 2 8delegates to nine, with eachuniversity having a proportionalnumber of delegates to theirstudent populations .
In a further conference report ,UASU spokesman Bill Avison
presented facts on studen t'financing at the U of A fo rdiscussion .
"Undergraduates get only a naverage of $250 a year inprovincial grants and loans, a sopposed to $1,800 for master sstudents and $2,700 for doctora lstudents," Avison said .
He said that the averagepost-secondary student come sfrom a family with an incom etwice the provincial average, and
added that female studentsaverage only half the amount inprovincial grants and loans tha tmales receive .
"The savings of students livin gat home are about $450 a yea rmore than those of students wholive away from home, whereasprovincial authorities, incalculating loans and grants, figur estudents living at home shoul dsave $800, or nearly double," saidAvison .
Letters Jobs still scarceWomen
I regret that my fatigue left th equestion period at the Tuesdaynight women's studies progra mless than adequately answered .
I would like to correct thatnow .
The names of women who hav edevoted their lives to women' srights are legion . MaryWollstonecraft raised her voice i nsupport of emancipation fo rwomen in 1792 . Beatrice Webbbecame one of the outstandingsocial investigators of her timewhen the appalling conditions o fthe industrial workers penetrate dpublic consciousness and create damong the daughters and wives o fthe ruling class a "collective senseof sin" .
Florence Nightingale created anew career for women as hospita lnurses ; Elizabeth Fry, the Quaker ,worked for prison reform ;Joesphine Butler promoted bette reducation for women in England .
And I like to think that th enameless wife (history does no trecall her name) whom HenryCook of Effingham, Surrey, SOL Din Croydon Market for the sum o fone shilling ("In England, theright of the husband to sell hi swife has been retained down toour time," reported Ralph WaldoEmerson in 1856) all helped toraise the consciousness of the day .
In regard to the question o nthe future of the family, in myopinion if marriage — for thos ewho choose it — ever had a tim efor success, that time is now ,when marriage and the care o fchildren can be a join tresponsibility of two consentingadults ; when tenderness ,compassion and nurturing arehuman qualities both sexes share ;when the terms male and femalehave no qualifications orexpectations that destroy thespontaneity and unique potentia lof the individual .

London, WC 1, England
OTTAWA (CUP) — Canadian employment took anothe rnosedive during September, facing the Trudeau government with th eworst unemployment record since 1961 .
The seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate for the total wor kforce during September was 7 .1 per cent, the highest for any month i nten years, and the seasonally-adjusted rate for workers under 25 yearsof age was an astronomical 12 .2 per cent .
The job market, in view of U .S . president Richard Nixon's ne weconomic policies, is expected to worsen in the months ahead .
Conservative opposition leader Robert Stanfield, attacked thegovernment Thursday, saying "1 would feel very unhappy with m yposition, if there was not an upturn in the economy in 1971 and i funemployment did not trend downward on a seasonally-adjustedbasis. "
This year Canadian Hoechstmarks its eighteenth year ofgrowth in Canada by moving intonew custom-built Montrea lheadquarters . The Canadian ex-pansion has been closely linkedto the worldwide development ofHoechst, which is now amon gthe world's top five chemica lcompanies, with worldwide sale sthat last year totalled approx-imately 3 .5 billion dollars .
In Canada, sales have almostdoubled in the past three years .The new St . Laurent head offic eand warehouse buildings wil lprovide space for a 100% in -crease in the company's hea doffice staff, and have been de -signed for expansion to accomo-date increased Canadian pro-duction .
Research : Window t othe FutureToday's research creates th eproducts of tomorrow . One-thir dof Hoechst's current sales com efrom products which did not exis t10 years ago . And with world -wide sales approximating close t o3 .5 billion dollars last year ,Hoechst spent close to 100 mil -lion in pure research, and o nlaboratory buildings and equip-ment . The results of this invest-ment decide Hoechst's positio nin future markets, includin gCanada .

Approval given tofirst budget reading
am pleading for imaginatio nas the solution .
Tay IAN LINDSAYAlma Mater Society council gave approval Thursday to the firs t
reading of the 1971-72 budget after making slight amendments .. A three-part amendment, moved by AMS treasurer David Mole ,
called for a $1,300 increase in revenues from business ventures, thu soffsetting expenditures of $1,000 for AMS stationary and a $30 0margin for -the section of the budget dealing with student organizing .
The amendment was passed by a 15 to eight vote .Amendments not approved were law representative Gran t
Burnyeat's proposals to cut The Ubyssey's budget by $7,000 to$30,000 with an increase of $3,500 in the intramural sport's budget ,$2,500 extra for the university clubs committee budget and $1,00 0extra for the undergraduate societies .
The proposed Ubyssey budget cut would reduce the newspaper t oonce a week publication .
The Burnyeat proposals were defeated by a vote of 15 to eight ,the same margin by which the budget was given first reading approval .
The budget now goes back to the budget committee fo rmodification and approval before returning to council Wednesday fora final approval requiring a two-thirds majority .
A referendum proposed by the UCC calling for anon-discretionary grant of 75 cents per student and ten per cent o fany future AMS fee increases directly for the UCC, was referred t ostudent court after council ruled the referendum 's wordingambiguous .
The student court, consisting of seven law students appointed a tThursday's meeting, will rule on the wording and, if necessary, rewor dthe motion before it goes to referendum .
Council also approved a report by the education committe econtaining proposals for academic reform and student parity onfaculty committees in the arts faculty . The education committeehopes reform in arts will lead to improvements in other faculties .
