S. Atri

A sign of the times is that

he is not registered as “Am-

bassador Glenn Babb,” but
as plain Mr. Babb. Who
knows what Jooneys are on

the loose? The Republic of

South Africa, after all, is
portrayed as being no better
than the Nazis.

The ambassador turns out
to be a pleasant chap you
wouldn’: mind your sister
being married to, He is an
“English” South African, a
member of the Anglican
Church, and therefore one
of Bishop Tutu’s flock. But
he doesn’t see too much of
the jolly old bish, Mr. Tutu
being on other things,

I don’t bother asking him
the usual crap. I saw him on
Sunday, for instance, and on
Monday Jack Webster
Opened an interview with
him by asking, “‘When will
South Africa join the human
race?” Showbiz, y’know.
Instead, Ii asked him what
would be the effect if the
government of South Africa
Were to announce tomor-
row that it was granting
“one-man one-vote’’?

CHAOS

There would, he Says, be
‘“factious disputes’* accom-
Panied by a flight of capital
out of the country. And if
the existing South African
economic infrastructure were
to be destroyed, ‘it would
be impossible for the West
to put it together again’’, In
sum, there would be chaos.

South Africa, he pointed
Out, comprises 12 main
ethnic groups of which the
“white tribe’ is one. Each
would try to unite the others
behind it, an _ obviously
hopeless task, and ‘‘we
would face the situation they
face in other Parts of:
Africa,’ Which is a prospect
that does not delight him.

“There is no model North
Of our borders that we
would wish to copy.
Remember, we are the only
People in Southern Africa
with an independent judicia-
ry and freedom of the
press.” .

$2,000
donated

NORTH Vancouver City
Council agreed Monday to
donate $2,000 to the Frank
Marcino Room Lounge
planned for North Shore
Neighbourhood House,

Frank Marcino, who
Passed away April 14, served
as an aldermen on city
council for 12 years, and
among other community in-
volvement, he was a long-
time supporter of North
Shore Neighborhood House,
serving several terms as a
member of its board of
directors,

The Neighborhood House
wil! be refurbishing two
rooms in Marcino’s honor,
asa lounge to house
members,

Ald. Stella Jo Dean made
the motion for the city to
contribute the $2,000, which
council unanimously agreed
to support.

Something else that the
critics might like to consider,
he said, was that South
African is the only country
in Southern Africa that has
neither asked for nor receiv-
ed a penny of foreign aid.

He admitted that members
of the Communist Party
Cannot be quoted, but South
Africa is not about to heip
those who are dedicated to
its violent overthrow.

REAL THREAT

try to convey the impression
that South Africa's problems
stem only from a Commu-

out that the threat is reat.

DOUBLE STANDARD

Why was it, I asked him,
that the Republic has
become the West's favorite
whipping boy? (Stephen
Lewis, Wimpland’s Am-
bassador to the U.N., has
trumpeted, for instance, that

Also, there is a very strong
‘‘anti-South African in-

Last but not least, South
Africa obligingly allows the
world media in to record
every disturbance.

He was.too diplomatic to
criticize Canada for its sanc-
tions Policy, but Pointed out
that South Africa’s
neighbors have notcalled for
sanctions. And, he asked, if
the country is so bad, how is
it that a million and a half
black foreign workers have
voted with their feet to be
there?
