Bhutto: A rather clever man By Chalmers Roberts The Washington Post United States President Richard M. Nixon and members of his administration should heed the advice given them recently on U.S.-Canadian economic relations. The advice came in the form of a report prepared by Peter, G. Peterson, Nixons special assis- tant for international economic affairs. Mr.

Peterson pointed out that a narrow-minded view toward trade with Canada must be avoided, and explained that Canadas involvement in the massive U.S. economy is such that it has created a special desire for Canadians to nourish their oWn economic identity. He went on to say that this feeling deserves more sympathy from the Americans than it has received up to now. The recent Nixon-Trudeau meeting seems to indicate that the American president has indeed taken such a sympathetic view. In the long run, however, what Canada needs more than sympathy which comes fairly cheap is a U.S.

economic policy that will translate the sympathy into actions. The game of In a topsy-turvy world, even the austere game of chess seems to be subject to sudden change. It used to be said that chess was the Russian game just as poker was the American game. And there were good comparisons of national characteristics to back up the statement. Chess is slow-moving, ponderous, and cerebral, a contest in which the victor outthinks his opponent.

Poker is swift, dependent at least in part on intuition as well as thought, and with a large bonus for successful bluffing. It was perhaps no surprise, then, that the world champion chess players for the past 23 years have all been Russians, and that the challengers have all been Russian grand masters. But now a new star, an American, has made a strong bid for world chess past lack of military backing to come to power. Ever since 1947 when British India was divided into two nations, larger India has been smaller Pakistans prime foe. Looking for help in the signed up with the United Spates in the SEATO pact, obtained a second tie via the Cento Treatv and a third bv biateral agreement with Washington.

SEATO and Ceno were American devices for containment of Russia and China but the Pakistanis, while paving verbal homage to such aims, looked upon these ties essentially as reassurance against India. What got Bhutto into hot water in Washington was that he was regarded here as the man who opened the route from Pakistan to China. In truth, the architect of that po'icv mav well have been then President Avub Khan. Avub shrewdlv let Bhutto take the American heat and then fired him when it got too hot, but without altering policy. Indias foolish handling of its border quarrel with China led both to a humiliating military defeat and to stronger Chinese ties with Pakistan.

During a 1963 interview with Washington Post correspondent Selig S. Harrison, Bhutto compared Pakistans tie with China to the Soviet-American collaboration against Hitler. He also pleaded for Western efforts to try to eliminate this paranoid mentality; this isoation. China is not going to shrink, and if peace is to be preserved, we will have to strike some modus vivendi. However sensible those words may sound in 1971, in light of the Nixon China policy, they were considered here in 1963 as heretical.

What Bhutto favored, and what the opening to China represented, was an effort to break frpm non-productive dependence on the United States to bring pressure on Tndia, especially on the Kashmir issue. The Sino-Soviet quarrel helped make possible the opening to Ch'na since Peking was looking for counters to both Moscow and New Delhi. Bhutto once pointed to the effective use of such power politics tactics by Sukarno and Nasser and complained that up to this time we have regarded ourselves like, let us say without disrespect, some sort of Nicaragua or Guatemala. In retrospect, then, it can be argued that Bhutto has been a rather clever man. Some here think that perhaps the long held opinion of him as chiefly anti-American was oversimplified.

But the essence of any new assessment of Bhut-. to will of course depend on what he now does. He hopes to salvage some East-West relationship and perhaps it is possible. Bhutto has called for ah end to Pakistani participation in SEATO and Cento, yet President Nixon has given him public backing. He is on the outs with Russia and India but closer than, ever to China.

What will come of all this, plus internal problems, he himself cannot yet know. As a Moslem he believes in Kismet, the hand of fate, and perhaps thats as good an anchor as any at the moment. 11 WASHINGTON There is a breed of Asian political leader that almost automatically seems to raise the hackles of Westerners, especially Americans. Indias Krishna Menon was one, Indonesias Subandrio another and Pakistans Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto a third. The first two are out of power today but Bhutto is the new leader of what remains of Pakistan.

Still only 43 (the same age as John F. Kennedy when he entered the White House), Bhutto has had a wealth of experience. He attended the University of California where he graduated with honors in political science in 1950. According to some accounts he ran into racial hostility he never forgot, a common experience for a good many Asian leaders who have studied here. Yet nothing in the available record connects him with the kind of racial slur Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi recently tossed at the United States in her anger at President Nixons policy.

Bhutto was and is rich, well educated with a masters degree in jurisprudence from Britains Christ Church College. He served on and later headed his countrys delegation at the United Nations, held several cabinet posts and was foreign minister from 1963 to 1966. In the elections a year ago that produced an overwhelming majority for Sheikh Mu-jibur Rahmans party in East Pakistan, Bhuttos own party was the chief winner in the west. He has had a considerable following but not until the army, so long the final arbiter of power in Pakistan, had been defeated did he surmount his I believe The Very Rev. Gonville ffrench-Bevtagh, Anglican Dean of Johannesburg, who has been sentenced to five years imprisonment under the Suppression of Terrorism Act in South Africa, talks to Marshall Leigh in an interview for the BBC, reprinted in The Listener.

The London Observer LONDON This has been the year in which trade in the worlds most important political export closed down. That 1 export is revolution. For the first time, as it seemed by the end of 1971, there was no centre of socialism which was sending out its missionaries and its message to disciples in other lands. The Soviet Union, China and Cuba no longer gave solid assistance to Socialist insurrection abroad. This may be temporary; another centre of, peasant or proletarian sovereignty may soon arise and call the wretched of the earth to arms.

But for the moment, if you want a revolution, you must make it yourself. With the Soviet Union, this is an old story. The pure doctrine of world revolution and proletarian internationalism was lost 30 years ago when the Comintern expired. A still unrecognized but rising tide of revised history-writing is about to show that even Stalins imposition of monopolistic Communist rule upon Eastern Europe was not intended and was a reaction to fear of American intentions in 1947, and to pressure from the local Communist leaderships east of the Elbe. Since then, the line has become peaceful coexistence: the defence of the existing Socialist camp combined with aid and support for national liberation movements and successful Communist parties abroad, The support is restricted to loans, the dispatch of experts, the sale of arms and political guarantee against imperialism.

China has adopted Stalins policy of socialism in one country only in the course of the past year. But the list of those who hoped for direct Chinese support in their revolutions and were disappointed is already a long one. In the last 12 months it has included the Cevlonese rebels, the Naxalites in India, even the Maoist followers of the aged Maulana Bhashani in what is now Bangladesh. China today prefers to send tanks and small arms to the government of Pakistan, to lend huge and interest-free sums of money to Zambia or Tanzania, to receive the president of the United States in Peking. Cuba, too, has lost much of its internationalist ardor.

The aching shortages and failures of the Cuban economy and the patient pleas of the Soviet Union, as the islands principal defender and financier, have produced a similar inclination to concentrate on the building of socialism at home. China, the Soviet Union and the United States have become or are slowly becoming -r. the three supports of a tripolar system of world domination. They may quarrel viciously, but basically they follow their own state in-' terests, which must involve the avoi-danfc'e of worldwar. The inevitable consequence is that eager clients of each super-power, whose revolution might disturb the global balance, now meet with tactful discouragement.

The Russians do not want Castro to send his armed missionaries into Latin America, to ignite a mighty insurrection for which the Soviet Union might be held the culprit by a panic-stricken United States. The Chinese, like the Russians, are beginning to grow tired of the war in Indochina, and to pass delicate signals to Hanoi that a settlement, with the Americans if honorable would be welcome. And yet the teaching of Marx and Lenin that the unchangeable order of things must change, that the cyclone of history will slay more than the cyclones which visit the peasants of Bengal but will bring the humble and meek to the seats of the mighty moves more powerfully in the world than ever before. Whatever the rulers of Russia or China or Cuba 'may now wish to be the pace of the wind blows where it listenth. Seventy million people in what used to be East Pakistan, or tired and deafened textile workers in Poland, the men of the Chilean copper mines, or Catholic trade unionists in Italy, come to subscribe to the dream which they vaguely understand under the term of socialism, which must be accomplished often against the advance and vested interests of those who are the accepted interpreters of the Marxist classics.

A Russian said to me recently: There cant be any revolution in the proper sense in Bangladesh. They are poor peasants, not -workers. Many, and not least the militant Catholics of Ulster, believe that national independence leads automatically to social change. They forget the awful couplet of W.B. Yeats: Parnell came down the road, and said to the cheering man: Ireland shall have her freedom, and you still break stones.

And yet such wisdom has its limits. All the power balances and corrupt new governments and auntish central committees of the world will not prevent the breakers of stone from asking what has happened to their dreams. And when they find an answer to that question those who have become content merely to teach socialism will have to learn it all over again. I' Mr. Peterson predicted that last years trade balance between Canada and the U.S.

will be close to $2.5 billion in Canadas favor, and warned that the U.S. should not pursue a trade policy that insists on getting a trade surplus with every nation. events of the past summer fall have shown clearly enough how disastrous such a narrow-minded view would be for Canada, the U.S.s largest trading partner. Special provisions should be made for Canada, such as, for example, exemption from the DISC proposals which could conceivably hurt the Canadian economy by encouraging firms to produce in the U.S. instead of here.

The same goes for the auto pact, now being re-negotiated. The U.S. wants to take away the safeguards, and there is little doubt that doing so would have a serious and detrimental effect on the Canadian economy, especially Ontarios. The U.S. government administration has been served with good advice.

They should heed it, for the good of both nations. bluff He is Bobby Fischer, who at 28 defeated a Russian expert in Buenos Aires in October and is now making arrangements to meet the world champion, Russian Boris Spassky. Over the holiday weekend the two men talked by telephone, and the location for. the world championship match is soon to be chosen. Fischers victory over his last Russian opponent was so easy that some chess experts felt the Russian, at 42, was too old for more appearances in world competition.

How the young -American will fare against the present world champion is being debated. But the Russian passion for victory need suffer.no reverses if the world chess championship goes to an American, the Russians can always get up a world poker tournament. NHL. This may have been suitable three years ago when that rule was established. But it seems outdated now, and the pokey old game of hockey must obviously look sharp to catch up with the dizzy pace set by the Progressive Conservatives at Queens Park.

Even federal Health Minister John Munro is archaic about the matter. He has said he wouldnt like to see players turning professional before theyre 20. Perhaps what he means is that a man of 19 isnt mature enough to play, in the NHL but hes mature enough to vote Liberal. it absolutely right The view from Ferry St. Among the minor tragedies of the holiday season was that of the Windsor wife who undertook to feed her husbands health-food enthusiasm with a Christmas cake made wholly from health-food ingredients.

It was, she reported, like trying to make a Martini without alcohol. A Christmas toy catalogue distributed by Smiths of Windsor, and with the stores name and address on the cover, has come to light. Four of the items in the eight-page catalogue bear the inscription: Not available in Canada. i At least one Windsor bank is using a system where customers stay in one line during busy period and are funnelled to the first available cashier rather than into separate lines before every wicket. This eliminates the old axiom that the slowest-moving line is always the one youre in.

and years. Its four socking great volumes of A. M. Neills Commentary on the Psalms. And I should like to write.

What would you like to write about? I havent even thought, really. Id like to tell the truth about this case. If your appeal succeeds, what would you do then? Id go to England. Although I was born in Shanghai, and had my education all over the place, I still regard England very, very much as home. I havent got any family there, but Ive some marvellous friends and I just love England.

I am pretty aged now, but there are some things going on in London and in Leeds too: small groups of Christian people, young men and women, trying to live out a life in the world theyve got jobs in factories and so on and a life in community as well. I dont mean as monks and nuns, but in some sort of relationship with each other. If I could get in with some of those groups and act as chaplain to them: something of this kind Id reallv like to do. Preferably in the East End, Bow, Stepney, all round about there down by the if I could get there. But you wouldnt stay in South Africa? I think Ive shot my bolt here.

Ive done what little I can and I must go and start somewhere else. Some people have suggested that you were right-wing in the days when you were in Salisbury were you? I was never right-wing. They sent me up to Rhodesia, and I was glad to go because it was the beginning of the Federation an experiment in partnership and I was there for over 10 years. I had a great many critics, and many enemies too. But I dont think it was about political things.

The jams I got into were mostly over religious things. We had an awful row about funerals, because if a chaps never been to church in his life I dont see why he should be buried within the Church. I thought hed much rather be buried by a lot of municipal officials. And I said this. And this drew down the of many, many people on my head.

I dont think I was ever a. racialist. I was very much opposed to black nationalism, just as I am against white. I dont like any kind of nationalism. This is why I confuse some of my African friends.

Are you perhaps saying that you dont agree with one man one vote in Africa, or South Africa? In South Africa Id like to see the sort of qualified vote theyve got in Rhodesia, not shared: I dont want it all for black men or all for white men. Just how you share it I dont know, but I think that the preponderance of black numbers has got to be given recognition. I dont think Id necessarily give one man one vote in this country, at present anvhow. Im very much against anv sort of take-over. I saw too much of the results of the Congo when I was in Rhodesia all the white refugees.

If I was up in Northern Africa now. Id probably be sweating blood trying to get help to the wives and children of white prisoners. It isnt because theyre black, its because theyre people in trouble, that Im concerned. Have you any regrets about the work youve done? Ive made a lot of damn-fool mistakes and Ive been a very harsh person in some ways. Rather a strict churchman.

I never thought I would be, but I have been. Biit would you have done it again? As I said in court, Id do this stuff all over again too, because I believe its absolutely right to have done it. fv. The awkward age Dean, youve expressed the thought that if you go to jail for five years you might not come out alive. Why do you think that? I am 60 or I shall be, and you know youre going to be pushing up daisies 1 some time after 60.

And the doctors dont seem to think my heart is very good. Perhaps theyll look after me so that Ill live longer than I would otherwise I simply dont know. But its quite possible that you might die between 60 and 65. Lots of people do. It was just a casual sort of remark Ive got no particular fears about it.

Are you aware that some people might present you as a mactyr if you go to jail? 1 i They must be nut cases. Im not the stuff that martyrs are made of: I dont have any sort of built-in sanctity. I didnt go into this willingly: I got pushed into it. I just had to do the best I could under the circumstances. Oh no, Id hate to think anybody thought that.

Im glad to have been able to stand as a sort of witness for the Church, yes, but thats a very different kettle of fish. Assuming your appeal fails, how will you spend your time in jail? Ive only been in jail once, for eight days under detention, so I dont know what the conditions are, I havent, unfortunately, got any pals in- jail either. But if Im allowed to read, theres a book Ive wanted to read for years and years The provincial government decreed a few moons ago that upon reaching the age of 18, a boy becomes a man. That is, he does not. have to wait until hes 21 to vote or to sign legal documents.

At 18 he can even drink, with the Queens blessing. Or at least Queens Parks blessing. How come, then, that a man of 18 or 19 cannot play in the National Hockey League? Does the NHL have better insight into what constitutes a man than the Ontario government? By league rules hockey players must be 20 before playing in the rwiwynn.
