A6 - Sunday, April 25, 1982 - North Shore News MEE editorial p € April folly By the time you read this it is just con- ceivable that an eleventh-hour diplomatic solution to the Falklands crisis may have emerged. But if it hasn't — and a shooting war appears imminent — President Ronald Reagan must share much of the blame. Mr. Reagan has, in effect, been trapped by his own hemispheric policy of backing Latin- American military juntas, however reprehensible, as a bulwark against Cuban communism. There’s little doubt that this cosy relationship between the U.S. and Argentina lulled the latter's repressive dictatorship into embarking on its April's Fool adventure in the South Atlantic. Meanwhile, all the frantic shuttling between London, Buenos Aires and Washington by State Secretary Alexander Haig doesn't alter the simple facts of the situation one iota. A western democracy's sovereign territory has been forcibly seized by a foreign and totalitarian regime and that western democracy also happens to be America’s oldest and most loyal ally. The United Nations has ordered the invader out, in default of which the UN Charter specifically entitles Britain to defend its territory. In these circumstances Mr. Reagan's duty to uphold the rule of law in the world is crystal clear. Whatever the eventual future of the Falklands, he should unequivocally support the U.K. standpoint that there can be no talking on the subject until the invaders withdraw or are thrown out. By endeavoring, so far, to horse trade, Mr. Reagan has merely encouraged the Argentine generals in their folly and made a mockery of the UN’s most vital principle. Free enterprise North Shore students facing a bleak summer for employment might do worse than copy Ricardo Zehle-Gonzalez, the penniless 21-year-old Mexican who, single- handed, organized a flourishing clean-up service for West Van homeowners. Un- fortunately, Ricardo was sent back to Mexico for violating his visitor's visa, but the moral of his story is clear. If you can’t find a job, MAKE one for yourself.

That's the battle cry of Canadian union leaders in the auto industry. But by promoting such a policy, the leaders may in fact end up depriving their members of badly needed jobs. The problem, of course is that U.S. members of the same union have provided substantial wage and benefits concessions to the hard-pressed companies. In return, they've been given a form of profit sharing (if the companies make any money), and a modicum of job security. The companies will also attempt to keep work in American plants. The agreements are a remarkable turn of events. Adversaries that have been fighting each other since the Great Depression have come to terms on arrangements that may save one or more of the auto companies from bankruptcy, along with the jobs they provide. It seems a sensible deal for both sides. Now consider the Canadian situation. If our union; leaders have their way, wages here will be markedly higher than those Ode to income tax deadline week By ANDREW FORREST (..a@ very perceptive Grade 7 student at Lonsdale Elementary School.

It goes without saying the companies could, and Probably would, shift some production to the United States. where workers are more Co-operative and labor less expensive. The Canadian union leaders argue that auto imports from Japan, and not wages and _ benefits, are causing the problem. They have pressed Ottawa to force cutbacks of imports. But the federal ypo..inment has failed miserably. While the union leaders’ militant campaign against concessions to the Big Three automakers is perhaps understandable (who wants to accept less?), they may have trouble maintaining member support. Indeed, the matter is so significant union leaders shoiuld consider putting the issue to a vote among rank and file members, including the thousands already on temporary or indefinite layoff. (W.
