Paying for dictatorships

Dear Editor:

The federal government
can find money to lend at
three per cent interest
repayable over thirty years

to Third World dic-
tatorships. Yet, when it
comes to helping the

Canadian farmer the small
businessman or the
homeowner crushed by high
interest rates, all the
government does is shrug.

At) a ume when our
federal deficit will soar

Council
agendas

Only council meeting set
for Monday on the North
Shore is North Vancouver
District. The meeting starts
at 8 p.m. and the following
are some of the highlights of
items set for discussion:

Delegation re: subdivision
at 224 E. Braemar.

Zoning applications from
Lewis Construction, in
Maplewood.

Date to be set for public
hearings into Venice Bakery
and height and bulk of resi-
dential buildings.

Swedish Park develop-
ment policy.

Canoe rental concession
at Deep Cove.

Subdivision application
for Chamberlain Drive.

Public works tender for
Mosquito Creek stabilization
channel.

. another $19 billion this year.

it seems incredible that our
foreign aid budget will leap
over 17 per cent to $1.724
billion.

It is especially surprising
that we give so much aid to
enemies of the West
countries such as Grenada,
Nicaragua, and Tanzania —

that have | nationalized
Canadian companies and
that support terrorist

movements elsewhere.
Another form of foreign

Throwing

Dear Editor:

After frends and I viewed
the TV show Half-Million
Dollars Rodeo recently, we
were filled with disgust and
pity.

They put on quite a show,
roping baby calves which
could just as easily have
been roped without all the
unnecessary and clumsy
performance of dropping
the calves lo the ground. We
shuddered each time it
happened.

To think that all those He-
men have paid to put on such
an inhuman treatment of
defenceless baby calves!

We have been told that

Clean an

Dear Editor:

I think congratulations are
in order for Cates Towing
Co. on the appearance of
their tugboats which are
always clean and spruce and
tidy and look as though they

aid are the cut rate loans
Offered by the Export
Development Corporation to
foreign countries to buy our
products. Earlier this year,
the EDC extended credits of
$637.5 million to Soviet
Russia to build .a strategic
natural gas project.

The loan at 10 per cent
interest will cost | the
Canadian taxpayers close to
$200 million, as_ the
government will have to
borrow the money at 16 per

ulls

after tums brave deed by men,
they (the calves) are drageed
from the arena with broken
bones. We all know they are
expendable and are poing to
land on our dinner table but
do they have to be tortured
and seared as weil?

Are we never going to
prow up and find = en-
terlainmenat more futing for
a civilized crowd?

Are we lo continue to see
men tryin to prove their
masculinity as have cowboys
taunting hores and bulls,
and throwing baby calves?

cent or higher.

It’s bad enough that the .
Canadian taxpayer has ‘to ©
pay foreigners to buy our
goods. It is even worse that
so much of that money is
going to nations hostile to
our interests, nations like
Russia and Red China,
which will receive $100
million in Canadian aid and
$2. billion in low-interest
credits over the next few
years.
