Haig spells out
hard-line policies

FORMER U.S. Secretary of State General Alex-

ander Haig, Jr.

said Thursday that a successful

American foreign policy will be a balance between
democratic values and ideals, and due attention to
the ‘‘international jungleplace’’ in which the U.S.

operates.

Receiving a standing ova-
tion from an audience of
over 500 at the $150 a plate
dinner sponsored by the
youth wing of the B.C.
Social Credit Party at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel, Haig
focussed on American
foreign policy, calling for
American presidents in the
1980s to re-establish a bi-
partisan. foreign policy in
order to ensure American
success in dealing with coun-
tries at either end of the po-
litical spectrum.

There is only one way to
maintain peace in the nu-
clear age, said Haig, adding
the U.S. cannot afford to
subscribe to several schools
of thought.

He defended American in-
volvement in the arms race
buildup, stressing it would
be folly for the U.S. gov-
ernment to undertake a
unilateral reduction in arms.

Said Haig: ‘‘We have the
courage and the will to do
what must be done, to match
them system for system. It is
the only way. There is no
other solution.”’

He said the Soviet Union
is still in a state of transition
following the 1983 death of
Yuri Andropov, with new
leader Konstantin
Chernenko currently losing
out in a power struggle with
local bureaucrats.

‘‘Chernenko didn’t expect
Andropov to leave so quick-
ly,’ said Haig, suggesting
Chernenko may have already
Out-stayed his own date with
the calendar. He said the
Soviets are self-conscious of
the fact that their own

He also took aim at U.S.
legislators for introducing
new protective legislation,
saying the issue has not been
addressed with clear heads.
He said if such measures are
allowed to continue, ‘‘we

And while Haig refused to
comment directly on Tues-

At the beginning of the
evening, a crowd of angry
demonstrators paraded in
front of the Hyatt Regency
