Sometimes people have
to fight for what they.
believe. Of course, it is
bad that sometimes in-,
nocent people die, but
“this is war we are talking
about. For instance, the
people of Palestine really
-do -need their own

succeed.

I don’t believe in
terrorism as a way to
f achieve your ends. I find,
it ironic that probably the
I.R.A. would be con-
sidered patriots if they
were successful. The U.S.
and Canada both became
independent nations, the
U.S. with a revolution,
byt Canada without onc.

J admire their courage,
but I don’t agree with
terrorist methods. There
are too many: innocent
people killed. I wish I
knew of a less destructive

Salmon caught illegally in
British Columbia are being
sold on the black market as
far away: as Saskatchewan

federal
fisheries officials say.

A spokesman for the
federal department said
Monday illicit salmon sales
have . escalated in recent
years from neighborhood
bootlegging by a few Indian
fishermen to an organized
busines. with _ refrigerated
trucks supplying: eastern
markets.

The escalation, produced
by a steady increase in

(UPC) -

salmon prices and growing
resistancé to federal controls
by. Indians, will eventually
- force a major confrontation
with the federal government
and full-scale © enforcement
of regulations, jhe said.

He said fisheries officers
now are unable to control
the traffic because of a
shortage of funds and

' personnel.:

Native Indians, often
fishing . under. native food
perniits, are the major cause
of the illicit salmon trade, he
said. There are no statistics
available on the size of the
operation, but illegal sales
may run as high as $12

million a

year, the

spokesman said.

“It’s. not. ‘only Indian
fishermen involved, ” “he
said. “We know -there are
sport fishermen:,who make
about -$12,000 a: year ‘each ~
just by selling the salmon
they catch .- but proving it is
something else.”

In: Victoria, ‘district
supervisor Larry Duke’ said
that illegal salmon sells for
between $1 and $2 a pound,
compared with the average
market retail price of $6 a
pound. -

* Although the majority of
black market deals are made

in the Fraser River area,
there is a: thriving poories
salmon .. business. -
Cowichan, a noted salmon”
_ fishing area 76 - kilomet
north of Victoria, he said:

“Some of. “the poachers
there have been selling
‘sakmon illegally for. years, -
‘ for generations, even,” Duke

tte

Despite the fact ., that
previous court action against
Indians for illegal fishing has
established that regulations
must be obeyed, Indians
insist that native rights have
precedence, he said.

Authorities charged
Lewis, elected in 1972 and a
member of a group. called
Citizens for Decency
Through Law, was involved
in a plot to sell a laser
weapon “designed to blind
people” to a Col. Federice
Fuentes of Guatemala.

Federal investigations said
the plot to see the weapon
apparently was intended to
raise money to finance a
plant in South America to
produce Laetrile, a con-
troversial drug made from
apricot pits used in the
treatment of cancer.
