Political Editor
Mr Leon Brittan, the
Home Secretary, surprised
and upset abolitionists m the
House of Commons yester-
day by saying that he
favoured the restoration of
the death penalty for terror-
ist murders alone while
failing, although a lawyer of
distinction, to offer any
definition of such a category.
Although his general pos-
ition was known - he voted
last year in favour of capital
punishment for terrorist
murders — his declaration
and his reasoning was shar-
ply challenged by Mr Roy
Jenkins, a former Home
Secretary, and Mr Roy
Hattersley, the Labour home
affair s spokesman.
Mr Hattersley said that
such a change would con-
cede one of the Irish Repub-
lican Army's most passion-
ate demands, that their
crimes should be treated
# Mr Leon Brittan, the Home
Secretary, upset abolition is MPs last
night by supporting the death penally
for terrorist murders alone.
9 Terrorism was a crime against
society as a whole, he said, and it was
the State’s duty to show its repug-
nance.
• Mr Roy Hattersley said the IRA
would glory in execution. It would be
madness to give them such a weapon.
#_Mr Roy Jenkins pressed Mr
Britt an in to_ saying that judges sitting
without' juries might convict Ulster
terrorists of capital murder
# Trial by jury would have to be
brought back in the province and
terrorists would go free Mr Jenkins
said
# Mr Edward Heath condemned the
singling out of terrorist murder and
accused Mr Brittan of glossing over
the definition of terrorism
differently from every other
crime. They would glory in
and benefit from the execu-
tion of their members, and
it would be madness to give
them such a weapon.
Mr Brittan spoke early in
the debate, for which time
was provided . by the
Government, giving MPs by
tradition the dispassionate
Home Office appraisal of the
arguments on either side
and,' also by tradition, his
own views on each prop-
osition before them: the
restoration of the death
penalty for murder generally;
for murder of a police
officer; of a prison officer; as
an act of terrorism; by
shoo ting or causing an
explosion; or in course or
furtherance of theft
For add the balance of his
speech, the weight at every
point was against resto-
ration, except for terrorist
murders.
There were forceful argu-
ments against accepting the
rise in homicides since
abolition as -proof of the
deterrent value of hanging,
Mr Brittan said. Murder was
“only the tip of a massive
iceberg of tension, violence
and unrest in modern so-
ciety”.
He recalled the difficulties
created by earlier attempts to
differentiate between catego-
ries of murder in the Homi-
cide Act 1957.
It would not be widely
understood if the murderer
of a police officer was
hanged and the murderer of
an ordinary citizen who was
helping the police was not It
was difficult to see why a
murderer who shot his
victim should be regarded
with greater abhorrence than
a poisoner.
Suddenly, after a suc-
cession of SUCb famil iar
arguments, Mr Britten be-
came impassioned. Violence
against the state posed a
threat utterly different in
character from crime against
individuals, he said.
Terrorism was a crime
against society as a whole,
and sought the overthrow of
law itself. It was the duty of
the state to signal its repug-
nance for those who com-
mitted crimes which under-
mined its very foundations.
By now there were shouts
of protest from the Labour
benches, solidly abolitions,
and approving sounds from
behind Mr Brittan.
Mr Hattersley made a
fluent and forceful speech,
secure in the knowledge that
his wbol party was with him,
happy in being able to
declare that he was irrevo-
cably opposed in principle to
capital punishment. He
would oppose its restoration
even if there was evidence
that it deterred, but there
was not.
Both he and Mr Jenkins
pressed Mr Britian on
whether he wanted Northern
Ireland judges, sitting with-
out juries, to convict terror-
ists of capital murder.
Mr Brittan told Mr Jen-
kins that it was possible that
a judge would sit with other
judges or with assessors.
That was one of the most
extraordinary ideas ever put
to the House. Mr Jenkins
thought.
If the law changed they
would have to go back to
trail by jury in Northern
Ireland, he said, and the
terrorists would ge free.
Mr Edward Heath, a
convinced abolitionist, was
almost as severe on Mr
Brittan, whom he accused of
glossing over the definition
of terrorism.
Labour left starts
NEC battle by
ousting Golding
By David Felton, Labour Correspondent
A left wing coup which will
remove Mr John Golding, an
aggressive right winger, from
the Labour Party national
executive, is likely to be the
opening shot in a concerted
campaign by the left to wrest
control of the executive at the
party conference in October.
Strategists on the left in the
union movement were predict-
ing last night that the balance
on the executive^ where the
centre-right, has- a comfortable
majority, will swing, in their
favour and thought a 17-10
majority couldbe in prospect. .
They have identified five
seats in the trade union section
winch they believer can lie won
for the left . and are. . also
confident that Mr Albert Booth
wDl beat Mr Eric Variey for the
treasurer’s seat on the execu-
tive. Excluding Mr Michael
Foot, Mr Denis Healey and Mr
Variey, the centre-right voting
strength is about 17-10.
Right wingers were express-
ing scepticism that there would
be a complete turn about in the
balance of power but there is a
recognition that the left wftl
mount a powerful challenge this
year.
Yesterday’s decision by the
executive of the Post Office
Engineering Union to drop Mr
Golding, one of its sponsored
MPs, as its NEC nominee was
not entirely unexpected after
the union executive’s swing to
the left in elections in the
spring.
There is an influential Mili-
tant Tendency presence in the
14-9 left majority and it was
thought that Mr Golding was
likely to be one of the first
targets of the new regime. The
executive said that the derision
related solely to the Labour
NEC and not his sponsorship as
an MP.
“The NEC fully recognizes
• John's valuable work on behalf
. of the union as a sponsored MP
Since his election to Parliament
in 1969 and wishes to see him
continue that role . in the
future”, a statement said.

Lucky escape for Kinnock in M4 crash
Mr Nefl Kinnock, favourite to win the
leadership of the Labour party, with
the wreckage of his car, from which he
had a lucky escape yesterday when if
went out of control on the M4, hit a
bank and turned over (Rupert Morris
writes).
Mr Kinnock, who described his
escape as miraculous, suffered minor
cuts and bruises, and was at the House
of Commons later to take part in die
debate on hanging.
He was alone, on the way to his
West London home after a party
meeting at Barry, sooth Wales, when
he lost control of the new Ford Sierra
near Newbury, Berkshire. He passed a
police breath test and said afterwards
that he was not overtired and had no
idea how the accident happened.
Mr Kinnock, aged 41, climbed out
through a window, and was taken
home by taxi. His car was described as
a write-off.
Four
UDR
soldiers
killed
From Richard Ford
Belfast
Four members of the Ulster
Defence Regiment were killed
in Northern Ireland yesterday
when a 5001b landmine blasted
their Land-Rover off the road in
what was seen as a crude
attempt by the Provisional IRA
to sway the debate on capital
punishment.
Only an hour after the
regiment had suffered its worst
loss since being founded 13
years ago, the naked bodies of
two Roman Catholic men were
discovered in a car in South
Armagh after what is believed
to have been a punishment
shooting. Both men had been
shot in the head and reports in
the border area said that they
had been abducted from outside
an hotel in the Republic late on
Tuesday night
The sudden upsurge in
violence came as Northern
Ireland MPs flew to Westminst-
er to vote in the divisions on
capital punishment. It was
widely seen os a tactic to
increase the temperature of the
debate, bring more votes in the
pro- hanging lobby, giving ter-
rorists a propaganda weapon.
The Provisional IRA attack
on the UDR was used as a
powerful weapon by Unionist

politicians who denounced the
bombing and argued that it
favoured the return of the death
penalty.
It also increased the pressure
on Mr Kenneth Maginnis, a
former major in the regiment
and now MP for Fermanagh
and South Tyrone where the
attack happended. who is one of
only two Official Unionist MPs
opposed to capital punishment.
He said that the attack had
been timed to coincide with the
Commons vote, adding: “The
IRA are never short of an
excuse lo commit an act of
terror, but when there is a a
situation such as there is today
and the eyes of the world are on

Industrial activity at
three-year high
By Edward Townsend, Industrial Correspondent
Industrial activity in Britain
is at its highest level for three
us, according to official
_ures issued today. They show
that the gradual improvement
in the economy is being
maintained.
Output rose by 0.5 percent in
May, its best performance since
July, 1980. Almost all sectors of
industry, induding the beleagu-
ered. metal manufacturers, are
increasing production.
Ministers have little cause for
euphoria, however. While the
underlying level qf output,
adjusted for stock changes, was
3.5 per cent above the 1981
trough, production - in the
country’s factories, mines and
refineries remains at least 14 per
cent below the levels of
summer, 1979.
According to figures released
by the Central Statistical Office
(CSO). production has been
increasing since the start of the
year, apart from a slight hiccup
in March-
In the three months to May,
output was 1.5 per cent above
the previous year, but analysis
of individual sectors confirms
the Confederation of British
Industry view, shared by the
Prime Minister, that the recov-
ery is “patchy and thin".
Hard-pressed manufacturing
achieved a 0.5 per cent rise in
output in the latest three
months but was down, also by
0.5 per cent, on the same period
a year earlier.
The best performers were in
metal manufacture, where out-
put was up 5.5 per cent over the
three months, and chemicals,
coal and petroleum products,
which showed a rise of 2.7 per
cent •
In contrast, -engineering and
allied industries increased by
only 1 per cent and textiles,
leather and clothing by 0.5 per
cent in the three months. Other
manufacturing was unchanged
and food, drink and tobacco
output was down by 2.5 per

the past few years. Their
principal market is likely to be
among farmers themselves for
domestic hot water and central
heating, and for grain drying
and heating glasshouses and
livestock buildings.
As a feed it can, be treated
with caustic soda or ammonia,
be improved to the equivalent
of medium quality hay, al-
though untreated bailey or oats
straw is acceptable to cattle.
Its main industrial use is for
manufacture of paper; board
and cartons. Its value as a
fertilizer when ploughed back
into the soil depends its being
chopped into small enough
pieces.
Apart from the environmen-
tal and safety' objections to
burnin g , sportsmen dislike it
because it destroys the grains
spilt by combines and the
insects on which game birds,
particularly partridges, feed.
For farmers its attractions are
that it is quick and labour
saving, destroys weeds and
means that the field needs
minimal cultivation before the
new seeds are drilled. The aria,
also acts as a light fertilizer.
The union recently issued a
stricter code of practice, and the
ministry’s Agricultural Devel-
opment and Advisory Service
had reminded fanners that
careless burning is a criminal
offence and may lead to jafl.

The parrot turned to be an

not utter a word. The parrot
which was brought into court
was said to be one of the same

A marble portrait head of
the Emperor Augustus, now
with his nose missing, carved
early in the first century AD,
was sold at Christie’s yester-
day for £32.400 (es tim a te
£1Q,000-£1 5,000) to a private
collector. Hie head is strongly
and sensuously carved and is
15^/jtin high. With the constant
claims and counter dating over
the issue of returning antiqui-
ties to their country of origin,
Christie's has been careful to
record that the head was
bought in Rome in 1932.

Jeffreys
gets new
judgment
By Richard Dowden
Was Judge Jeffreys •
monster who sent people to the
scaffold with ghonlfeh glee?
Or was he an innocent victim ■
of circumstance, • suffering
unendurable pant, stress of
overwork, diminished re-
sponsibility, acting on orders,
occasionally tired and
emotional? Quite a charming
«iH humane chap ready?
In tiie columns of the Law
Society Gazette lawyers are
. battling over the reputation of
perhaps their most celebrated
colleague.
In an article Cefia Hunt
quotes Thomas Pitt, who she
says, attended some of the
assizes, at which Jeffreys is
reported to have sentenced'
more than 160 people to be
hung, drawn and quartered.
“He observed neither hu-
manity to tiie dead nor civility
to the living,” Mr Pitt wrote.
However, Richard Ttose, a
London solicitor, dismisses
Thomas Pitt as a virulent
Whig pamphleteer,' and says.
Jeffreys was “humane, Intelti-
gent and satirically humorous,
ttssagfe irascible when pro-
voked. He could at times be
charming.**
Mr Michael Rubens tem,
another London . solicitor,
dismisses Mr Rose's case as
“nauseating whitewash** and is
incensed at the suggestion that
“evil conduct . . . should be
condoned or excused by
reference to physical - or tem-
peramental ma Mhn ction ‘ n g **-

Year-old British cars
best buy, AA finds
By Clifford Webb, Motoring Correspondent
Too many motorists are
swayed by giveaway prizes
such as colour television sets,
holidays in the son and big
discounts when buying their
new cars when they should be
checking on its resale value,
the Automobile Association
says.
To prove the point it has
conducted a survey of the
depreciation values of different
makes. The result published
yesterday in the AA’s Drive
magazine reveals trends which
are aids to selecting new and
second-hand- models.
British cars tend to de-
predate more than foreign
makes in their first year but
are better at holding their
value in succeeding years. It
suggests that one to three-year
old British car makes a good
boy.
That contrasts sharply with
Japanese cars which hold
their value well in the first
. year but depredate steeply in
the second. French and Italian
cars lose most in the first year
bat German cars follow the
Japanese pattern of good
first/year prices.
One car appears to cone out
of the survey with an impress-
ive retention value at the end
of its 12-month warranty
period. The Ford Escort
1300cc is said to be still worth
97 per cent of its current
purchase price, a figure which
surprised many Ford dealers
last night. They put it at
nearer 85 per cent

Finally he turned to amendement
proposing the dea th pe nalty for
murder resulting from acts of
terrorism.
In curat circumstances, there
was no prosper of an early return to
trial by Jury in Northern Ireland.
Nor would it be politically
that a . man’s life should be
determined by such a definition?
Such gross anomalies aside,
supporters of capital punishment
always argue their case in terms of
cold-blooded, premeditated, calcu-
lated wickedness and ruthless
terrorism. But to have execution for

ingly frequent interruptions, be said
that these who took this view were
not thirsting for revenge but
regarded it as the duty of the stats to
signal its total and absolute
repugnance for those who commu-
ted crimes that undermined its very
foundations.
There could be no clearer or more
decisive a demonstration of that
repugnance he said, than to re s erv e
the ultimate penalty, capital punish-
ment, for those who committed
sneb crimes.
The House had before it the main
motion: "That this House favours
the restoration of the death penalty
for murder." Also before it were
| amendments p r opo si ng the death
i penalty for terrorism; murder of a

causing an explosion; and murder in.

Sir Edward Gardner (FykJe. Q

of the death penalty for murder."
said that it might very well be the
last chance that the Commons
would have to decide whether
capital punishment should be
reintroduced for murder.
There was intense public interest
I and concern on the issue. It was
important because it appeared to
have divided opinion dramatically
and that was a division which was
i disturbing because it was not
difficult to see serious and
respectable arguments on both
sides.
It was important to those who
belie ved-as he hoped all in the
House believed - that it was the
inescapable duty of the state to
protect its citizens in the most
effective way available to the state
from unlawful violence and death
by murder.
Some said there was no evidence
for the deterrent effect of capital
punishment reducing the number of
murders committed, but the Royal ■
Commission on Ca pital Punish-
ment in 1953 had concluded that
there was some evidence that the
deterrent effect of capital punish-
ment was stronger than that of any
other punishments available for
murder.
The commission had said there
was no statistical evidence - but
how could there be? He was not
relying on statistics, but on
something they all understood - the
fear of death. That was a fear which
was a powerful influence on all
normal human beings, a fear which
could make all normal Jmman
beings behave in a way to take
account of that fear.
As Dr Sam uel Johnson had nearly
said: “Nothing concentrates the
mind so much as imminent fear of
execution."
Nothing was more likely to make
a criminal pause before he went out
with a gun than the knowledge that
if be killed with that gun he could
face die death penalty.
The royal commission had
forecast that if capital punishment
were abolished, there would be an
increase in the number of homicides
and violent crimes. They all knew to
then' cost that the commission was
right, but it went on to say that the
increase would only last a short
time. That had proved wholly
wrong.
The number of homicides had
gone up nearly double since capital
punishment was abolished and the
number of crimes involving the use
of firearms bad spiralled horren-
dously. From 1971 to 1981 offences
involving the use of firearms had
risen fron 1,700 to just over 8,000.
He did not doubt, as the
commission had pointed out, that
the deterrent effect varied according
to the kind of murder, but he had
had an unwavering belief that the
death penalty was one of the
considerations which any ordinary
criminal would inevitably have to
take into account and which would
undoubtedly affect his behaviour.
Of all the categories of crime to
which the death penalty would
apply, that- which would respond
most sensitively to the death
penalty, he submitted, would be one
involving the use of firearms. (Some
Conservative cheers.)
Before abolition of the death
penalty, it had been comparatively
rare to hear of criminals going out
armed, but afterwards, it had
become a commonplace crime.
The inevitable result had been
that instead of having, as Britain did
before the death penalty was
abolished and took a pride in.
something it could boast about, an
unarmed police force, Britain could
no longer have or could afford to
have a completely unarmed police
force. As tire spiral of vicious crimes
went up. with armed criminals
going out on robberies and
burglaries, the time was coming and
would inevitably arise when Britain
would have to have a fully armed
police force.
He did not want to see that nor
did anyone in the country. He saw
no reason why MPs should not
today take a step which would
enable them to fulfil an ambition he
would like to see fulfilled in Britain,
of reducing the need 'to arm the
police, and ultimately going back to
the slate where Britain did not have
to have an armed police force at alL
The police were in the front line.
As Lord Devlin had written in an
utricle in The Tima today; “If the
police, who are in the front line,
bold strongly that the death penalty
is a weapon they need. I think that it
is difficult for society to deny
it".(Conservative cheers). He would
go beyond that and say it was
equally difficult for tire Commons
to deny ii-
If there was no doubt, or if it was
probable, that the prospect of the
death penalty would frighten the
criminal away from the use of mins
and if the death penalty by its effect
on the mind of the criminal was
capable of pitting an end to the reign
of the gun and make it possible to
Neither picture was accurate.
Both debased debate. No one should
believe or allow it to be believed
that restoring the death penalty,
whether that in itsdf was justified or
sot. could have s decisive impact on
the broader battle against crime
However the House votes tonight
(he said) it must and will be the
Government's task to pursue that
battle by every means in its power.
The question; would capital
punishment actually provide society
with a protection not afforded by
other forms of punishment, should
sandy be the paramount consider-
ation, although be appreciated, that
there were those who were much
influenced by tire impact which
capital punishment would have in bomb themselves,
the general tone of life in Britain,
particularly as it was reflected in the
media.
In the last analysis, there would
be many who would fed that if
capital punishment genuinely was
an effective deterrent, it would be
their painful duty to restore it,
however unattractive some of the
consequences would undoubtedly
be.
Those who argued for restoring
the death penalty rightly pointed to
the sharp rise in homicides since
1960. Between the end of the war
and 1960 the number of homicides
had shown a generally downward
trend. In I960 the offences recorded
as homicide in Ealand and Wales
totalled 282. In 1965. the year
capital punishment was abolished,
the total was 325; in 1970, 396; in
1980, 621; in 1982,619.
There were, nevertheless, forceful
arguments against accepting the rise
in homicides since abolition as
retrospective proof of capital
punishment's deterrent effect.
Those who called for restoration
must recognize that murder was
only the most prominent tip of a
massive iceberg of tension, violence
and unrest in modern society whose
causes were only imperfectly
grasped. Most murders were, ax least
to a limited degree, crimes of
passion. In around 70 to 75 per cent
of cases the victim was acquainted
with the suspect.
Each MP would, of course;
balance the various factors in his
own way, but he would be voting
against the general proposition that
capital punishment should be
reintroduced for all murdexs.
Three of the categories of murder
for which capital punishment was
proposed were based essentially on
the distinctions drawn in the 1957
Homicide Act.
Although attempts could be made
to single out from other crime
murders which were particularly
prevalent, or felt to be more
deferrable by the death penalty, the
problem remained tint any such
differentiation when it was put into
practice was likely to lad fairly
quickly to growing feelings of
injustice.
‘ There would soon be cases
outside whatever criteria chosen
which would be felt to be more
grave than those wfadh fen within
them. Public outrage was. no less
great in cases of murder in which
knives rather than firearms were
used; in cases of child murder by
strangulation rather than murder by
shooting; in cases of appalling
ferocity rather thsn cold calculation.
Would d i sti n ction drawn primar-
ily on the basis of the assumed
prospect of deterrence prove more
acceptable to the public now than
they did in the past?
Of aD the a m endments, by far the
most vulnerable was that pro p o si ng
murder in the course or furtherance
of theft Expanetace of murder trials
before abolition confirmed that.
Experience of hundreds of cases
which bad come before the courts
since then did so, too. Applications
of the death penalty could depend
on the slenderest evidence as to
when, how and whether a theft,
possibly even a minor one; had
*yk<*r> place.
For just that reason it could be
argued that the det e rre n t effect of
this provision would be great. The
rise in the number of robberies and
burglaries was ' indeed deeply
disturbing, but it was certain that no
category of captial offence would
cause more public debate and
questioning as the details of
individual cases were publicised as
they occurred.
He respected the argument about
the special position of the police,
but it was not one which the Police
Federation in their letter had chosen
to mate. They were right, in
individual cases of murder, where
the victim was trying to prevent the
commission of a crime, the public’s
sympathy was wide and comprehen-
sive.
It did not extend just to the
police, bat to the security guard, the
bank cleric or the bystander who
“had a go"; There was a consider-
able rise that angling out a
particular category of victim would
in practice, as opposed to theory,
over a period of time prove difficult
to sustain.
It would not be widely under-
stood when the murderer of a police
officer was hanged and the murderer
of an ordinary citizen who was
helping the police was not He
would not be voting for these
amendments.
Since 1965, 16 adults had been
convicted of the murder of police
officers. Most had been subject to a
recommendation by the trial judge
that they should serve a minimum
sentence. That recommendation
had ranged from 15 to 30 years.
None of those 16 prisoners had been
released.
That should be a dear indication
of the Government's attitude
towards murderers of police offic-
ers. He would ensure that in cases
where no minimum recommen-
dation bad been made they were
treated in substantially the same
'way as those where there had been
such a recommendation. The
expectation must be that all such
murderers served at least 20 years
and some might never be released.
most be to give the Surest hearing to
the accused. -
It was 1 certainly true that they
would never deter the true fanatic
and some would positively seek
martyrdom. But not all terrorists
were or prepared to kill
themselves by going on hunger
strike.
We should never (he said), even
unconsciously, accept the terrorist's
vision of himself as an inflexible,
high-minded freedom fighter uncon-
cerned with the consequences. Thai
is not true of those who are bribed,
bullied, or lured to commit murder.
It may well not be true of those who
are knowing and assisting parties to
the deed, but do not detonate die
e
It was not true in communities
where the thug and criminal slipped
into ter rori sm through the pursuit or
gain. In such cases the deterrent
argument was neither weaker nor
stronger in relation to terrorist
murders, than in the case of other
murders.
I do no (he continued) seek to
deny or mimmize any of these risks.
Kit there is always such a risk in
taking any effective action to curb
terrorist violence. The te r r oris t is at
war with us. He wQl take whatever
action be can to defeat us. The
question is whether we are to be
deterred from doing what we think
is right by those threats and that
blackmail.
Those who favoured capital
punishment for terrorist murders
did not for the most part found their
case on its deterrent effect. They did
so because of a very fundamental
belief about the nature of terrorism
and the appropriate response to it
Acts of terrorism were crime#
against civil society as a whole.
Its aim was to subvert the
legitimate institutions of democra ti c
government. It attempted to shake
the will of the mqjonty to uphold
the integrity of the State. That was
why many people would not require
conclusive evidence of the deterrent
i-ffrrt of capital punishment to
support its restoration for terrorist
murder.
Those who take this view
went on) are not thirsting
revenge, but they do regard it as the
duty of the slate to signal its total
and absolute repugnance for those
who wwmiwil crimes that nndenniwft
its very foundations. There can be
no dearer or more decisive a
demonstration of that repugnance
thm to reserve the ultimate penalty,
capital punishment, for those who
commit such crimes.
For these reasons I shall be voting
tonight for the restoration of capital
punishment for terrorist murders,
and only for such murders.
(Interruptions).
If the House voted for the
re st orati on of capital, punishment
for any category of offence, the
Government would provide draft-
ing assistance for a private
member's Bill to be debated.
The legal and prac ti cal problems
that would have to be resolved were
numerous and formidable, and
there would be many further
controversial decisions to be taken.
If the House so wished, those
problems could be resolved, and
those decisions could be made. The
first step was to take the central
decisions of principle.
Mr Roy Battersley, chief Oppo-
sition spokesman on home affairs
(Birmingham, Sparkbrook, Lab),
said he was wholly and irrevocably
opposed to the reinlrodtution of
capital punishment. To legislate for
judicial execution of a man or
woman held in the state's safe
custody would be a reversion to
barbarism. Britain would become
the only western democracy where
the state possessed and exercised the
right to kiO as a judicial punish-
ment.
Nothing (be said amid Labour
cheers) can justify savagery of that
sort. A reversion to such a practice
would debase and, in the literal
sense of the word, demoralize us alL
Than was a Consevative cry of
“Neva'" when Mr Hattenriey
added: My profound hope is that
with our vote tonight we shall both
inject capital p unishm ent derisively
and lay the whole subject to rest
murders committed in the United
Kingdom.
It would not be reintroduced for
murder by the mentally sick, by the
suddenly deranged, by the unbea-
rably provoked, even for the fanily
murder. Four fifths of murders were
motivated by a passion which did
not consider the consequences of
the act.
Those who spoke of capital
punishment as a deterrent had to
face the feet that there was no
evidence to support that view. If we
are to hang men and women by
their nodes until they are dead (he
said), we ougbi to be doing it on
more than a mere hunch or the sort
of anecdotes that follow Rotary
Gub lunches.
Hie only statistic of which
anyone could be certain was that if
hang in g had ikk been abolished in
1964, at least five innocent men
would have been dead today.
It was not dear from what the
Home Secretary had said whether
he proposed that execution for
terror is t murders should be the
punishment in Ireland and the
United Kingdom as a whole or
whether it was to be for Great
Britain alone. Was the Home
Secretary proposing and voting for
the execution of men who had not
been convicted by the jury system?
In 1983, in a civilized, d em ocratic
society, was the Home Secretary
proposing that men who had not
been convicted by their peers should
be executed? By introducing such a
proposal Mr Brittan was going to
greater titan it ever was in the
• days before abolition*
Having listened to such debates
for 30 yeart, he felt that the constant
emphasis on capital punishment
was preventing them giving atten-
tion and resources to the probl em of
crime. (Cheers)
He hoped that Sr Edward
Gairiiwr was right in brifeving that
this wouMte the km opport u ni t y to
vote on the issue.
This is an occasion above all (be
said) where wc have to use our own
judgment.
Conservative MPs: We are.
Mr Heath; I hope that every MP
will use his own judgment. I do sot
believe that the case has been
proved, and I rage the House to
reject the motion and all the
amendments.
Mr Roy Jenkins (Glasgow, Hfl-
Ihead, SDF) said that the Home
Secretary’s speech had left him
bewildered, He had coolly rationally
and persuasively, dest roy ed the case
for capital p unishme nt on all the
amendments except one os terror-
ism.
They must haven dear view from
die Home Secretary on whether he
would use the death penalty both m
Northern Ireland and Great Britain
and whether therefore abolish the
Diplock court which sit without

Were police lives any more
valuable than sub-postmistresses’ or
security guaitis7 He could not
accept that murder by shooting or
explosion, was any mote despicable
than slow death by strangulation or
cutting someone’s throat Why was
smxtio' in the course of theft more
horrendous, more despicable, more
shocking than murder in the course
of rape, or murder of a child?
What' the motion and the
amendments sought to do was to
establish an hierarchy or murders, a
scale with the more despicable
murders at one end and the least
repugnant at the other. It was not
possible to do that. It was both
indefensible and invidious. '
Gardner: Proposed the motion. Brittan: Against general
proposition. Hattersley: Wholly opposed. Heath: Oise not
proven. ’
Percivai: In favour of all the
proposals.
He hoped that after tonight's
decision they would be ahle to
discuss crime and punishment in a
much more rational fashion. Were
there evidence to demonstrate that
capital punishment was a deterrent
- and such evidence did not exist -
He would still believe hanging to be
wrong.
The Prime Minister, in a
television interview during the
concede one of the IRA’s , most
passionate de mands - that their
crimes should be treated differently
from every other crime?
Hanging such men would make
thrir contribution to violence in the
Republic greater than would their
continued life. What would happen
whs that thousands oflrishmcu who
despised terrorism would suddenly
find it was the British Government
which was becoming the instrument
of violence and the oppress or .
The IRA would glory in and
benefit from the execution of their
members. It was madness to
provide them with such a weapon.
Judicial execution would be to play
into their hy w di - Loathing must be
directed against violence by the
state as wdl as by the individual.
By killing murderers, the state
would become like the murderers
themselves. . Society would be
lowered to their standards and. for
that reason, he would vote against
restoration of the death penalty.
Mr Edward Heath (Old Bexley and
Sidcnp, Q said for more than 20
years he had been opposed to capital
punishment in the case of all crimes
of homicide and he always voted
against it. Hie intended to do so
tonight.
For nearly 20 years now capital
punishment - had been abolished in
the United Kingdom. Sr Edward
Gardner bad not proven the case for
c han gi ng the status qua If some
badcbenchas wanted revenge, he
hoped they would openly say so. It
whs not for the House of Gammons
or Parliament to decide retrib u tion:
that lay elsewhere and at other
times.
One Conservative MP had said
on the radio that if nobody was
p rep ar ed to hang people he was

question be would ask Mm was

If capital punishment was to be

the problem of judges and juries

terrorist or not. Even more
Mr Jenkins said the Home
Secretary had made dear now that
he would, not distinguish between
the two sides of St Geotge’s
Channel. He was floating a
possibility of a judge with assessors
with no idea of whether it would
work or whether tbc judiciary would •
accept it, but was proposing that in
the delicate dream stances of
Northern Ireland, people should be
hanged for the first time for
centuries in the United Kingdom
without trial by jury.
They would have to go back to
trial by jury with the almost certain
result that the occasional terrorist
would be acquitted to go free and
carry on their nefarious trade.
I am therefore convinced (he
said) that hanging or any other form
of judicial kufing in relation to
terrorism, so for from increasing
public safety would increase the
public danger, positively increase
the public danger.
As for the other amendments, the
case in favour was u np rove n . If the
police were to be singled out for
protection, but others were not, ft
would not be too long before this
would damage police-public cooper- _n _ j . .
ation, which was crucial to the aliOWCU tO StaV
success of the police m the front fine *
Mrs Edwins Carrie (South Derby-
shire, O said she would vote m
favour of the return of capital
punishment. Britain seemed to have
become a lawless and dangerous
society in which brutality no longer
shocked but had become common*
place, and in which carrying of
weapons in the furtherance of crime
was becoming an everyday matter.
Many people in this country
believed something must be dona
Their, and her,, sense of natural
justice was offended. Why should
decent ci tizen s go in fear of their
lives?
The return of capital punishment
alone was not enough. Other action
was urgently needed, such as reform
of the laws on shotguns and bail.
But capital punishment was seen by
many as an essential element in the
return of a firm approach to deal
with crimes at its most evil.
Sir Ian Perciral (Southport, C), the
former Solicitor General, said the
ul timate penalty should be a part of
the armoury of weapons with which
the state should ' be equipped to
protea its citizens from the risk of
being murdered. His view was not
concerned with a thirst for blood or
revenge. The ultimate penalty was a
dctcrrcnL
There was no way in which the
amount of deterrence could be
measured but he was convinced that
the death penalty was a substantial
detenem. There were some killings
that were so evil that he believed die
only appropriate punishment was
the exacting of tbc life of the person
who took life.
He recognized the difficulties.
The question of mistakes was the
most difficult of all and placed a
heavy burden on those who had to
administer tbe law. He would be
voting for all tbe amendments. It
was not because he wanted to see
them aD occur, but because the first
stage was to decide the question in
principle and the second stage was
to get down to the question of
identifying tbe precise cases.
Mr Jack Ashley (Stoke-on-Trent
South,. Lab) said one of his
constituents, Mr John Preece, was
convicted of murder on the
evidence of a Home Office forensic
scientist who was later discredited.
If capital punishment bad been in
force at the time of the conviction,
Mr Preece would sot be walking the
streets of Stoke-on-Trent but would
be a rotting corpse in a prison
—■graveyard.
Mr Albert McQnanie (Banff and
Buchan, Q said the London and
Birmingham bombings other
outrages were earned out by
political fenatics, beasts who cared
nothing for human life or for the
bereaved families who would spend
the rest of their lives with their
misery.
These terrorists knew there was
no deterrent involving their own
deaths. If MPS did not vote for
restoration for such terrorist
murders they would be virtually
conceding victory to the terrorists.
When they killed police and
servicemen, terrorists were using the
death penalty to achieve their own
ends. Only ten had been willing to
die on hunger strikes because
terrorists have realized that the

In his two periods as Home
Secretary he had seen at least ten
cases of capital convition, some of
them hanged, of whom three were
clearly wrong or there was a
lingering flicker of doubt at least.
The finality of the punishment was
too great for the frailty of human
judgment Restoration would be
baa for the position of the
Government, bad for Parliament,
bad for tbe integrity of the law and
bed for the protection the public.
The least defensible of all foe
amendments was that concerning
terr o rism. The Home Secretary's
aitinwfc was extraordinary and
amazing. It would be totally
unacceptable for a life to be taken
without the verdict of a jury, and
with a jury it would be difficult, if
not impossible, for a conviction to
be obtained and sustained.
Te r ro ris t s , by their very nature,
were precisely the people who would
be unlikely to be deterred. It would
make martyrs and heroes of diem
and that would be totally unaccept-
able to people in this country.

that the House must consider with
the utmost gravity and care.
Tbc death penalty was not only a
unique punishment. Undoubtedly. if
it were brought back by a vote
tonight it' would provide a unique
protection for society which the
•late in its duty to defend the citizen
must be prepared to accept and in
proper circumstances to use.
Mr Leon - Brittan, the Home
Secretary, said MPs who opposed
restoration were often portrayed as
considered was that of murder by
shooting or causing an. explosion.
Tbe number of serious firearms
offences had increased sharply.
Doubtless that was why this
category Of murder had been singled
oul But it did not follow from that
that balance of the de te rre n t
argument was necessarily any
different. ...
Moreover, from tbe point of view
of the gravity of the offence it was
difficult to sec why a murderer with
greater abhorrence than a poisoner.
some murders were so hideous that
execution was an intrinsically
appropriate response, and that some
murderers deserved to die. (Some
Conservative cheers).
There is (he said) no moral or
philosophical justification for that
view. It is, in feet, a ay for revenge
and nothing except revenge.
(Labour rimers.) I do not believe
this House should, and I pray this
House will not, write such a
primitive instinct into tbe laws of
Great Britain.
The Home Secretary had to
understand that if there was to be
capital punishment for terrorist
murders, the chaos and oonfiudon
and angsish which would be caused
by obtaining the appropriate
definition would put die entire law
in disrepute. In Northern Ireland,
for example, Post Offices would be
robbed and postmasters tilled as
pan of that
It would (he continued) be
somebody's duty to deride if that
robbery was carried out to give the
funds to tbe IRA or to take the
money south to the Cunagh and put
it oa a horse. Do we really believe
returning to jury verdicts in
Northern Ireland.
Is the judiciary (he said) in favour
of dealing with IRA terrorism with a
judge and two assessors? I cannot
believe for one moment they will
accept that. .
They could not have a situation
where terrorism was dealt with in
Great Britain by the death penalty
and not in Northern Ireland. How
could they have a situation where an
Arab t e r ro r i st who shot the Israeli
ambassador was dealt with in one
way and a terrorist in Northern
Ireland - in many ways the home of
terrorism - in another?
West Germany and Italy had

Legislation to control video

National Viewers* and listen-
ers’ Association says today.
It also calls for controls on
videograms - cassettes and
tapes - to be extended to cover

take account of the imminence
of cable television.
Mr Graham Bright, Con-
servative MP for Luton South,
is today announcing details of

ment itself has already indi-
cated tthat it feels statutory

Mrs Mary Whitehouse, presi-
dent of the National VALA,
said that the association op-
posed any solution to the
problem that depended solely
on a voluntary or even manda-
tory classification or licencing
system.
“Central to the thinking of
the association is the need to
create impregnable defences for

US drive
to enforce
whale ban
The future of the bowhead
and humpback whales, two of
the most threatened species,
and attempts to force the
remaining whaling nations to
stand by an effective mora-
torium on commercial whaling
from 1986, are likely to
dominate the meeting of the
International Whaling Com-
mission in Brighton next week.
Last year, after a decade of
pressure from conservationists,
the commission agreed to
effectively ban commercial
whaling from 1986.
Japan, the Soviet Union
Norway and Peru have objected
to the decision, which under the
commission’s rules stiff gives
them the right to continue
whaling after the ban comes
into force.
The United States, however,
has started withdrawing Japan’s
rights to fish in United States
waters in an attempt to enforce
the decision. Some United
States food chains have begun
cancelling fish contracts with
Norway.
This year’s meeting will have
to set quotas for the whale catch
for the coming year, with
conservationist countries, who
dominate the 40-nation com-
mission, attempting to force the
figures down to ensure that last,
year’s decision is implemented.

interpreter".
The statement said that M

(in the present international
situation) is from the intention
of the American imperialists in
deploy their new missiles in
Europe".
M Marchais immediately
disassociated himself /him the
statement, saying that he
advocated “balanced reduction

all those already deployed by
East and West". Tass withdrew
the report.

Colorado’s trail of havoc

The awesome Colorado river
■ is roaring down the canyons
'. from the Rockies to Mexico in
' its wildest rampage for 50 years.

. people made homeless by floods
is running into Twinntwg of

Many of tbe hundreds of
; people whose homes, businesses
and livelihoods have been
washed out are angrily blasting
, government river control auth-
orities for blundering.
The authorities admit they
were caught out by exceptionally
heavy ram and an unexpected
late snowfall in the Rockies,
followed by a heatwave. Never-
theless many riverbank resi-
dents had either grown com-
placent about living alongside
such a wild river, or taken a
chance, and lost.
The Colorado runs for 1,450
miles to the Gulf of California
and has carved the Grand
Canyon and other magnificent
fissures, it waters seven states
and part of Mexico, and ‘its
. dams, aqueducts and reservoirs
. have created rich communities

nia an Arizona.
Tbe 726 foot Hoover Dam,
near Las Vegas, is the greatest
of the eight along the Colorado
and is one of the world's largest
suppliers of hydroelectric pow-
er. It has also helped to control
flooding.
This year, however, the
Colorado has proved that it is
not completely tamed, the
extraordinary combination of
very heavy rain, snowfall three
times heavier than normal and
the onset of hot weather made
nonsense of the estimates of the
Bureau of Reclamation, the
•river management authority.
With reservoirs brimming,
threatening large-scale floods,
engineers have had to relieve
pressure by increasing outflow
from the dams, leading to
flooding of more manageable
proportions.
The engineers say that they

Five Mexicans have been
killed in the flooding, and an
American died when a raft
capsized in the Grand Canyon.
Some resort towns in file
lower reaches of tbe river* from
Hoover Dam to Yuma, dose to
the Mexican border, are suffer-
ing because of a ban on tourist
boating and because visitors are
staying away. But Boulder City
booms as visitors flock to see
water flowing over the Hoover
Dam spillway for the first time
in 42 years.
Many of those affe c ted by
flooding are among tbe 2,000 or
sd people who have accepted
the risk of living in the flood
plain because it is relatively
•cheap to do so and because the
winter climate is agreeable.
Some are retired people, fivii^g
in caravans, who would find it
too expensive to move and who
cannot afford flood insurance.
The Colorado is still running
hig h, and will do so for several
months. Engineers say it has
stabilized but there is concern
that seeping floodwater poses a
long-term .threat to fanning in
parts of California, Arizona and

South African policeman
suspended after killing
of black held in custody
From Michael Hornsby, Johannesburg
General Johann Coeuee, the police have so far refused to also apply for these jobs
South African Commissioner of
Police, announced yesterday
that an unnamed white police*
man has been suspended from
duty in connexion with the
shooting of a young black man
in a Soweto police station on
July 5.
General Cbetzee said that the
suspension would remain in
force at le ast anti! the investi-
gation into die incident being
ca rried out by the police
department bad been com-
pleted. Certain statements and
the results of scientific tests
were still outstanding.
Mr Paris Malatji, aged 24.
died in the Protea police
station. So far the police have
admitted only that the cause of
death was a bullet wound, and
that it was inflicted shortly after
Mr Malatji had been detained
for questioning. They have not
said what offence, if any, the
dead man was suspected of,
A post mortem was carried
out on July 7. and Mrs Pearl
Legodi, the dead man's aunt,
was present for the purposes of
identifying the body. She was
also told the results of the
medical examination. The
comment on the post mortem
findings.
According to Mrs Legodi, Mr
Malawi had a bullet wound in
the middle of the forehead just
above the nose. She said that
the bullet appeared to have
been fired at point blank range
as there were burn marks visible
on the slrin. There were no signs
of any other injuries.
So hr the incident, which on
the face of it appears to be one
of the most horrific in the long
catalogue of dark deeds in
South Africa's police stations
and prisons, has received
remarkably little comment in
the South African press. Not a
single paper has yet reported the
post mprtem results.
# South Africa has scrapped
the last vestiges of statutory
racially-bascd job reservation
whereby certain jobs could be
reserved exclusively for whites
under the Labour Relations Act.
The Government’s action
puts an end to “Determination
27” which had hitherto reserved
a small number of specialist
jobs in the mines for whites -
surveyors, samplers and venti-
lation officials. Now blacks can
Although of some symbolic
significance, the Government’s
move still leaves intact a
formidable barrier to black
advancement in the Mines and
Works Act which dates back to
the early years of this century
and prohibits blacks, solely on
the basis of their colour, from
obtaining blasting certificates
showing they are competent to
handle dynamite.
This means that the more
than 500,000 blacks who work
on South Africa’s gold, coal,
copper and platinum mines are
prevented from becoming fuliy-
fl edged miners, though mere is
no doubt that many are as
competent as their white super-
visors. This is technically not
called job reservation, but its
effect is the same.
The Government is in favour
of the abolition of this barrier to
black job advancement, but is
not prepared to force-the issue
against the wishes of the very
conservative white Miners'
Union,- which claims that the
Government-is less interested in
removing the colour bar than in
employing cheaper black
labour.
Man in the news
Cossiga on the switchback
From Peter Nichols, Rome
It was not at all out of
character for Signor Francesco
Cossiga to have been elected
Presiding Officer of the
Senate, and so the country's
second most important public
figure after the head of state,
an hour after he had taken his
seat in the Senate for the first
time.
He is a man of unnsoal
qualities, with long experience
in parliament, hot his career
has been marked uniquely by
success and disaster.
He is best known for his
tenure of the Ministry of the
Interior in the days when
terrorism was at its height and
seemed invincible. He was to
become the Prime Minister
who, with courage and parlia-
mentary skllL, woo approval
for the stationing of anise
missiles in Italy.
Yet both these ministerial
experiences ended dramati-
cally, with terrorism respon-
sible in both cases for his
discomfiture.
He was Minister of the
ulterior when his close friend.
Signor Cossiga: Returning
from political oblivion
Signor Aldo More, the former
Prime Minister who first
appointed him to the post, was
captured by the Red Brigades
in what is still Italy's most
important act of terrorism.
Signor Cossiga 's police
failed to find the Christian
Democratic leader. On May
10, 1978, be resigned. The
body of Signor Moro had been
found the previous day in the
back of a car in the centre of
Rome.
Signor Cossiga is a sensitive
man with a strong conscience
and sense of doty. He seemed
to be at the end of his career if
only because he himself might
have been able to overcome the
tremendous shock.
Then in August, 1979,
President Pertini plucked hhn
out of the shadows and nrarfg
him ' Prime Minister. His
policies won him the outright
opposition of the Communists.
Allegations were made that be
had given a friendly warning to
a Christian Democratic collea-
gue about the impending arrest
of his son. a t e rrorist.
A Parliamentary com-
mission absolved him, but once
again, the effect on him
seemed likely to end his
capacity to continue in the
forefront of politics.
Now suddenly, and typical-
ly, he has been elected with
more votes than any of his .
predecessors.

Yellow river
valley faces
flood crisis
Peking (Reuter) - Torrential
rain which has swollen the
Yangtze River to burning point
and claimed at least 90 lives is
spreading north to threaten the
Yellow River valley, reports
from the area said yesterday.
Officials in the main Y angle
danger areas between Jianli, in
Hubei province, and Jiujiang. in
Jiangxi, said that the creaking
system of dykes containing the
treacherous reiver was still
holding.
But in northern Qinghai
province, the authorities at
China's second biggest hy-
droelectric dam project near the
headwaters of the Yellow River
said that emergency work was
in progress to stave off an
expected flood as the ran feeds
the waters upstream.
Construction workere were
making strenuous efforts to
fortify the structure of the
Longyang Gorge dam.
In Anhui province, which has
reported 90 dead so far, a flood
control official said that the
danger was not over yet.
In Wuhan, the capital of
Hubei, the river was said to be
already well over its level July,
1931. when it ruptured its dykes
and burst on to low-lying land.
Bonn cracks down
oil protesters
From Michael Binyon. Bonn '
The West German Cabinet
yesterday unanimously ap-
proved a controversial law
making it an o fence to take
pan in a demonstration that the
police have declared to be
violent.
Under the law, which is to be
sent to committee stage and
introduced as soon as possible,
anyone who does not leave a
rally after being ordered to do
so by the police can now free up
to one year’s imprisonment,
even if not personally engaged
in violence.
The law, which was intro-
duced by Herr Fredrich Zim-
mermann. the right-wing Minis-
ter of the Interior, has been
bitterly attacked by the Social
Democratic opposition and the
Greens, who see it as a threat to
the constitutional right to
demonstrate. .
The police have also ex-
pressed doubts on the need for
the change, saying rioters can be
adequately dealt with under
existing laws. Last weekend a
senior judge said is could not be
right that to convict rioters the
state made all demonstrators
criminals.
The toughening up of the law
has been a main plank of the
Christian Social Union, of
which Herr Zhrunermann is a
leading member, and was one of
the principal points of disagree-
ment both during the coalition
talks and later between the CSU
and the liberal Free Democrats
(FDP).
Herr Zimmermann, however,
has been determined to get the
legislation through Parliament
before the expected wave of
demonstrations this autumn
against the deployment of Nato
missiles in Germany. He has
also called for a ban on masked
demonstrations, making it an
offence to take part in protests
with a covered face.
The FDP appears to have
blocked this proposal, but Herr
Hans Engelhard, the FDP
Justice Minister, has won only
minor concessions in his fight
to water down the other
provisions.
The cabinet was hurried into
approval of the changes by the
riots in Krefeld last month
when stones were thrown at die
car of Mr George Bush, the
American Vice-President, and
134 demonstrators arrested.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl bit-
terly criticized the local govern-
ment and the security arrange-
ments.
On Sunday police arrested
104 young people after raiding a
youth club on suspicion that
they had taken part the Krefeld
demonstration.

Coal is a considerably cheaper fuel than

There have been some impressive advances
in boiler technology, combustion techniques
and methods of coal and ash handling.

‘more and more worrying' .
Measures taken by the Govern-
ment since May. 1981. (when
the Socialists came to power),
had led to a significant increase
in the number of immigrants
coming illegally to France, and
in particular to Pans.
Not only had there been -an
increase in the traditional
immigration from the former
French territories in North
Africa, but there had been
successive waves of new immi-
grants from India and Pakistan,
and even more recently, from
Ghana. Zaire. Angloa. China
and Hongkong, from where
they were arriving in "great
numbers"
He said: “They are increa-
singly English-speaking and

them to France. The last "open

Western Europe, and further-
more a country where it is easy
to get social security".
In Paris, immigration was
The right response was
"neitiier laxism nor racialism",
he insisted, adding that he
personally hated all forms of
racialism. Bui new measures
were urgently needed, the
reintroduction of visas for
certain countries, and much
belter frontier controls to
ensure that “false tourists” did
not enter the country clandesti-
nely. .
Much lighter checks were
needed to ensure that “false
students" did not use then-
studies as a pretext to settle in
France. The family ties of
alleged relatives of immigrants
already living in France also
needed to be checked much
more carefully, as did ' their
intended place of residence and
claimed resources.
Foreigners asking for political
asylum should be examined
particularly carefully. Those
who had already been living for
several months in other coun-
tries should not be admitted, M

Gierek permitted
to live in peace
From "Roger Boyes, Warsaw
Mr Edward Gierek, the
disgraced former Communist
Party leader of Poland, appears
to have escaped the humiliation
of a public tribunal to assess his
political mistakes. However, his
Prime Minister, Mr Piotr
Jdoszewicz. and a deputy
premier are. according to the
findings of a parliamentary
commission, tb be referred to a
slate tribunal to answer charges
of economic mismanagement.
A question mark has hung
over the fate of Mr Gierek ever
since the imposition of martial
law in December. 1981, when
he and bis principal ministers
was interned - along with
thousands of Solidarity activists
- lest they become a focus of
opposition.
There then followed a surge
of public criticism of Mr Gierek
and his era - he was party
leader from 1970 until shortly
after the strikes of August, 1980
- on the grounds -of disastrous
investment policies and foster-
ing party corruption. This
criticism stopped abruptly at
the start of this year and his
name has scarcely been men-
tioned since.
Mr Gierek. who now lives in
closely watched villa ■ in
Katowice, could still face
criminal charges - for example,
for building villas with slate
funds - but this now seems
unlikely. His escape is due to
the terms of reference of the
parliamentary commission that
has been examining the Gierek
leadership for evidence of
constitutional “irresponsi-
bility".
But Mr Gierek never held a
stale position - only a party job.

Lawyer told
to produce
‘stolen’
sex films
. Los Angeles (Reuter) -
Prosec tilers have ordered a
lawyer to produce in court films
which he said showed senior
Reagan Administration officials
romping with women at sex
parties.
3 s»Poena on
Mr Robert Sicinberg on Tues-
it?/, th^ri announced
that the films he acquired from
a mystery blonde had vanished.
Earlier, police sealed Mr
Stein berg's luxurious Beverley
Hills office as pan of the
inquiry into the disappearance
of three films. The lawyer said
they showed couples having
natural sex “as we know it" -
and sadomasochistic sex.
He said they depicted sex
games involving two officials, a
congressman, a late millionaire
friend of President Reagan, two
businessmen and four women.
"Mr Sleinbcrg has been
ordered to produce the films in
criminal court on July 25." a
police spokesman said. “When
we served the su poena, he
apparently did not have the
films.
"The Police Department has
no substantiation of Mr Stein-
berg’s public claims the films
exist The court will have to
obtain some answers on the
existence of the films and their
alleged theft."
Mr Steinberg claimed people
in Ihe films included two
members of the Reagan Admin-
istration of ambassadorial rank
and a member of the US House
of Representatives.
The late millionaire Alfred
BloomingdaJe, who was a
member of President Reagan's
so-called “kitchen cabinet" of
advisers, was also in the films,
be said.
Other participants were Vicki
Morgan. Bloomingdale's self-
proclaimed mistress, who was
beaten to death last Thursday,
two businessmen - "who go
back 20 years (with the Presi-
dent)” - and three other
women.
Mr Steinberg said he had
been handed the films by a
mysterious blonde who wanted
them used as a bargaining tool
in the trial of Marvin Pancoast,
a 33-year-old unemployed clerk
charged with Vicki Morgan's
murder.
He reported the disappear-
ance of the films soon after
telling reporters he had tele-
phoned Mr Fred Fielding a
White House lawyer in
Washington and, on Fielding's
advice, would hand over the
films to the Los Angeles
prosecutor's office.*

New York hospitals are

Surgeons say that unless
people come in soon to give
blood they will have to post-

large amounts of blood the

that it can be caught simply by

opera chronology on its bead.
Regular practice is for the
theatre to assemble a glossy cast
after a few pow-wows with a
record company; the show goes
on stage and then a year or so
later out comes the opera set,
with perhaps a lew judicious
minor cast changes. At the
ROH this time affairs are the
other way round. The forces
employed are an almost exact
replica of those on the Philips
Trovatore. but that was issued
two years ago.
Even so the cast is virtually
new as hr as London is
concerned. The only famiiar
lace among the principals is
Yuri Mazurok*s Count di Luna,
ever sturdy of tone but straying

were similar muttcrings about
Manrico, but Carreras again
quelled the unbelievers by
straight for w ar d power and art-
istry. “Ah, ri, ben mio” found
the voice a bit edgy and
strained; but the last act, with
the finishing line clear ly in
sight, released some magnifi-
cent sounds especially in the
scenes with Azucena. Foreign
Opera houses scratching their
heads in search of a Troubadour
now know where to look, unless
Carreras is putting a strict quota
on the number of Manricos he
sings which, being a prudent
man, he is likely to do.

undramatic fusion oF singspid
and ooera comique can, after all,
be alchemized into a tolerable
piece of entertainment if they
are handled with some degree of
musical and dramatic style.
As it is, both the director,

designer, Ricardo Isotta, have a
rather good line in cliche, as
chorus and soloists line up with
monotonous regularity a n<f

distance from the next. If the
singers still need to work as

least be helped to move and

dramatic effect
The cast is not without talent,
though it becomes some thing of
a test to spot it in these
circumstances. Brym Seccombe
bumbles his way through his
buffo bass part as the school-
master-poacher perfectly
adequately, rising to the vocal
demands, at least, of his “5000-
thaler” showpiece; Laura
Rowley is a warm-hearted,
sugary soprano, while the tenor
John Graham-Hall gives the
most stylish performance of the
evening as Baron KronthaL
Antony Shelley, conducting,
plays it all out front, and shows,
when Mr de Souza allows him
to, some understanding of the
requirements of young singers.
There are further perform-

Ever since The Drunkard was
re fo rmed into The Wayward
Way I have felt nervous about
off-Broadway Victoria na, and it
is ajelief to report that the only
whimsical thing about Joseph
George Caruso's adaptation of
Pinero's The Magistrate is its
title.
There are occasional tell-tale
wisecracks and words like
“drooling”, and tire serious
matter of implicating tire
gentlemanly officers of the
Mulberry Street Court in a
protection racket, but on the
whole there is no telling where
Pinero comes to an end and
Caruso takes off. It is' some
years since I saw The Magis-
trate and I cannot remember
whether Pinero went on from
stranding the defenestrated
Captain Vale in a downpour to
bringing the whole balcony
down in a thunderclap: But, if
he did not, then he should have
done:
Above all, Mr Caruso has
resisted any temptation to sex
the farce up. The agc-consdous
Mrs Posket is still passing off
her grown-up son as a 15-year-
old; but he never v e n t ures
beyond kissing his piano teach-
er, and otherwise devotes his
hidden talents to fleering tire
visitors at canto, and showing
his old man a night on the town,
where their greatest d eprav i ty is
drinking champ agne on un-
licensed premises.
In one respect, though, Tony
Tanner's production stands the
original farce on its head, tins
being in the treatment of
Pinero's title character. Mr
Posket lurches through a hid-
eous string of humiliations,
from his night in tire Hotel des
Princes to his deshevelled
arrival on the magistrate’s
bench next morning.
As traditionally played, he is
a passive figure and a typical
British loser. But not as played
by John Mills, who may be
putty in young Os's hands but
is in masterful control of the
comedy. Even when wracked
with indecision, or pulled
around the sage under a
precariously wobbling topper.
he is fast and decisive, convert-
ing wilting embarrassment into
actively inventive business.
Ofistage for most of the hotel
scene, he returns to take charge
in the last act. undergoing an
amaring transformation from
rags to robed authority and
imposing himself on the com-
pany while fighting a private
battle with the spectacles he can
only wear on tire tip of his
damaged nose. By tire end, he
has earned tire compliment
fr nm one of the gentlemanly
prisoners tirel he is a man as
well as a magistrate:
Connie Booth partners him
as a well-bred Henry James
matron adrift in an alien
madhouse. However, it is well
stocked with thoroughbred
grotesques like Paul Haid-
wicke’s jujube-sucking police
chief and Malcolm Sindairis
military lover, first seen leaning
on a cane and then collapsing in
the opposite direction when it is
removed. Joe Vanek’s sets

County CouBcfl, Ex parte

Before Mr Justice Taylor
(Judgment defivered July 1 1]
Where a dispute b e t ween local
authorities regarding the location of
a proposed gipsy caravan site had
bear referred to the Secretary of
State for the Environment under
section 8(2) of the Caravan Sites Act
1968. the secretary of state was
obliged to consider any objection to
the propos a l on its merits, and it
was not open to him to decline so to
do oo the ground that the dispute
was of a type with which he did not
wish to be concerned.
Mr Justice Taylor so held in the
Queen's Bench Division granting an
application by Hafron District
Council for judicial review of a
decision of the secretary of state on
December 6. 1981 who had directed
Cheshire County Council to proceed
with the agaMkhmgnt pf a
proposed gipsy caravan site to
which the district council had
objected.
Section 8(3) of the Caravan Sites
Act 1968 provides: '‘After consider-
ing any [objection notified by a
district council under section 8(2)]
the minister may, as ap pe ars to him
proper , give directions to the
minister under section 35 of the

MR JUSTICE TAYLOR said
that Haltpn District Council had
given notice to the s e cret a ry of state
under section 8(2) of the 1968 Act
that it objected on several specified
grounds to a proposal of the
Cheshire County Council to estab-
lish a permanent gipsy caravan site
within the district couxuaTs area.
The secretary of state bad
directed the county council to
p roceed, under section 8(3)(b),
without dealing with the merits of
the objections which the district
council had raised.
sites, and
_ ikdy con-
flicts, had provided that pro ce dure
for resolving them.
The seamary of state could not
fetter his discretion, with a policy
which would render the existence erf
section 8(3) virtually unnecessary
and frustrate the policy and objects
of the Act That was the principle
which had been established in
PadfUdd v Minister qf Agriculture;
Fisheries and Food ([1968] AC 997)
and which in this case required hrm
to deal with issues raised by a
section 8(2) objection on their
merits.
It appeared from the reci t a l ^af
facts in the decision letter that the
merits of the district ooundTs
objections bad not been c ons idered
in any detail if at all and, although
he was not under any obligation to
give reasons, if the secretary of state
failed to give r e asons in such
a court might he

The application would succeed
and certiorari and mandamus
would issue to quash the secretary of

He could see both sides of

Conservative ministers “put the

LORD JUSTICE PURCHAS,

It had bees suggested, citing the
commentary upon the decision of JZ

Crim LR 123), that such reduction
should be is the region of 25 per
cent.
That was to ignore that sentenc-
ing was an individual exercise and
had to be tailored to the needs of
each particular case. The mathemat-
ical approach was therefore unre-
liable and had never received any
approbation from the court.
The air hung still and heavy
around St Bartholomew-the-
Great on Tuesday night; so did
foe music. There were two
distinct sons of langour in
evidence; the pleasantly drowsy
English pastoralia of Elgar and
Vaughan W illiams and the
more acerbic but still rather
distant ruminations of
Alexander Goehr.
Jan Kubelik, who died in 1940,
used to be known as the Czech
Paganini That epithet rives
some idea of the nature of his
Sixth Violin Concerto, written
in 1924, which his son Rafael
conducted with the London
Symphony Orchestra on Tues-
day. It is diabolically difficult,
although to judge from Yuuko
It was an ingenious idea to
bring together for the first time
foe three pieces Goehr has
based on a setting of Psalm 4.
The Romanza is by far the most
outgoing of foe three, indeed the
only one that does not se em
completely wrapped up in itself
the Fugue for strings is a dour,
almost dogged affair which did
not in this performance achieve
serenity; foe original Psalm 4
setting for voices, cruelly
demanding of its two female
soloists, cannot quite sustain its
hypnotic alternation of chorus,
viola-and-oigan interpolation
and solos. Its rhythmic profile is
not strong, and it does not carry
the confidence of say, the
Stravin-sky Can t a t a.
Perhaps Goehr simply asks
more of his listeners than I
gave, requiring us to.be content
with his limned means and
limited expressive ends; still in
the Romanza, where he allows
himself to blossom with decor-
ations and disruptions of tire
original choral lines (now
transferred to solo vi olins and
violas), he achieves a much,
more direct impact Even in a
performance by the City of
London Sinfonia which was
deariy far from ideal - though
inS-
Malcolm Layfield led a coi
dent sob quartet - the latent
power of the original psalm
suddenly seemed to be released.
There was a moment, a
couple of minutes before the
end, when the rich textures and
even foe harmonics of Goehr's
string orchestra, reached a
rapprochement with foe English
school; but foe moment passed.
Among the En glish miniatures,
Holst’s Choral Hymns from the
Rig Veda stood out as some-
thing ambitious and exotic:
Unm the cruel mishap of a
broken harp string, which also
broke foe concentration, Thel-
ma Holt and foe women's
voices of foe BBC Singers gave
a fine per form ance; Richard
Hickox conducted it with a
convincing sense of atmosphere
which was lacking elsewhere in
foe evening.
Nicholas Kenyon
Shiokawa's astonishingly accu-
rate and unfailingly beautriul
playing you would not have
guessed el Ultimately, though,
ns contents are spread rather
thinly over a needlessly vast
canvas, and the form does not
help to hold things together
satisfactorily.
Yet the work does not
entirely want for ideas or
technique. The first movement
has some skilfully orchestrated
accompaniment, particularly
from the wind section, and
often the harmony is headily
aromatic. And what could have
been simplistically sentimental
in the Andante is turned into
something touchingly plaintive
by its chromaticism, although
things are rather spoilt by the
unsophisticated rhythmic dog-
gedness of foe finale. Still, the
concerto deserved an airing,
and ft offered a fascinating
glimpse of Kubelik senior's own
technical prowess.
Another novelty came in foe
form of foe Tenth Symphony
attributed to foe late eighteenth-
cenmry Czech composer Franti-
5ek Adam Mi£a. Mozart is
known to have admired his
work and this symphony shows
why. There is a similarity
between the two in the way that
Mifia exploits self-expanding
ideas, and formal boundaries
are not marked by overt
interruptions to the music's
flow.
Other qualities marie Mifia's
as an advanced musical mind -
to name but two, the delightful
second theme given to oboes in
the first movement (modified
for -its return) and foe final
fugue which hints at a Beefoo-
venian toughness, albeit in foe
early 177%. Again foe LSO
responded vivaciously to Kube-
lik’s direction, and foe high
horns were especially good in
the Allegro.
The challenge of these works
obviously stimulated the play-
ers for Dvorak's “New World*
Symphony, for they gave no
mechanical reproduction. In-
stead there was an intensity of
concentration that lent foer
familiar a rare excitement. 1
hope they maintain it. for foe
repeat performance tonight.

Driving isn 't getting any easier.
So, at Renault, we decided to produce a car
that's designed to meet your real needs.
And bring back some enjoyment to motoring.
The new Renault 11.
It comes in five versions, with a choice of
3-door and 5-door body styles.
All are hatchbacks, with prices starting at
just £4,350.*
Appearances aren’t always deceptive.
The Renault 11 certainly looks tough enough.
So do some other cars.
But, unlike some other cars, ihis car has
toughness and safety built in.
The body is given full anti- corrosion
treatment before it’s even made. (All the metal
used is pre-protected by a special rustproofing
process called cataphoresis.)
Extra protection is provided by shock
absorbing bumpers, and re-inf orced side panels.
The design also includes safety deformation
(or crumple) zones.
Put simply, the Renault 11's sporty good looks
are built to survive.
The real drag about driving.
The Renault 11’s advanced aerodynamic
body shape has a drag co-efficient of just 0 35.
On paper, that's terrific.
In reality, it means that the 13S7cc TSE
model, for example, is capable of speeds of-
over 100 mph.
Whilst, at the same time, it helps keep your
petrol costs down to a minimum.
You can get as much as 55.4 mpg at 56 mph
from the GTL model. And as much as 38.2 mpg
driving in and around town.
Now, a word of comfort.
• Conditions outside a car tend to dictate what
conditions are like inside.
Knowing this, we've tried to make you feel
as comfortable as we can.
In the top models, the ingenious, monotrace
design of the front seats lets you adjust them
through an arc until you find the ideal position.
Meanwhile, in the back, your passengers can
be comfortable too.
They can stretch out their legs either side of
the single monotrace runner.
Also, some models have split rear seats,
which you can fold down individually to provide
extra luggage space.
Technically, it’s now all possible.
The level of technical equipment in the new
Renault 11 is exceptional.
There’s everything from central door-
locking and electric front windows to a lights left
on’ warning buzzer and an oil level indicator on
the dashboard.
Everything you need to make life easier.
And, we believe, make the business of
driving today more of a pleasure.

THE TIMES THURSDAY JULY 14 1983
SPECTRUM
A rt is not the same as fashion
or even the same as taste.
All die same, the arts have
been affected by changing
vogues throughout their
histories. Music as much as any art had
been fanned by fashion - and fortune.
Some instruments were lucky: they
fitted in with the development of
European music, the violin supremely
so. Other instruments have been less
lucky. The guitar was always a popular
instrument for fight music, and the lute
enjoyed a season of favour centuries
ago before disappearing from view.
In tins century these two have been
reintroduced into the mainstream of
musical life. That is the work of a very
few musicians. First, as far as the guitar
is concerned, is of course Andres
Segovia, who will be 90 early next year.
A fellow-Spaniard once said that an
Englishman playing the guitar was a
contradiction in terms. But Segovia
himself would scarcely say that, having
watched and encouraged one of the few
musicians who can be spoken of in the
same breath as himself Julian Bream,
one of the great guitarists and -
although superlatives are idle in music
- almost certainly the greatest lutenist
now alive, a man who is English of the
English.
Not English merely, but a Londoner

mixed-up London family, Portuguese
Jews by maternal descent Julian's
mother left home when he was 13; he
left school the next year, and two years
later his father died.
It was not a musical family exactly,
but “my father had a gift; he played the
piano by ear and he taught me the
guitar to begin with”. Bream senior
wanted his son to do “something more
sensible” than become a musician but
the boy was precociously brilliant,
winning a junior exhibition to the
Royal College of Music when he was
12; the next year, 1946, be made his
first professional appearance and the
year after that he was heard for the first
time by Segovia, the man who had
brought the guitar out of the shadows
as a serious instrument for classical
music. Before Segovia, it bad for ages
been a popular instrument for parlour
plucking and in the first quarter of the
nineteenth century it enjoyed a great
vogue through the connexion with
romanticism and the pastoraL
“Schubert had a guitar - it's an
amazing thing,* but he didn’t have a
piano in the house - and I'm sure he
worked out pieces on the guitar".
Bream says. “But the trouble was the
guitar was no more than that -
something for frivolous family music-
making.” It was rather feeble in tone
then, far to go until its apogee of
development with the result that it
missed out when the greatest of all
generations of composers might have
written for it “There were great
players then in their way but the
instrument didn’t really have the
potential composers needed.”

sergeants of the Pay Corps by turning
up in his own little Austin 7 van:
squaddies did not have cars then.
Despite the frosty reception he signed
on as a regular for three years as the
only way of becoming a bandsman.
' Although he had no affection for the
army he had a fairly cushy time,
playing electric guitar in the Royal
Artillery’s dance band (there was of
course no place for him in an ordinary
regimental band any more than there
was in an orchestra) and moonli ghting '
in London. He even played abroad for
the first time, driving in his van
to • Switzerland - 'strictly against
Queen's Regulations - to accompany
the singer Frederick Fuller.
Fuller became a regular partner as
Bream began his career in earnest. It
was hard, but “I was very determined
in those days and anyway, it’s easier to
live on nothing when -you’re young. I
just bad my little bedsit in South Ken.”
E ven in the middle of the
twentieth century it was a
problematic instrument for a
young musician to make his
career on. Bream's brilliance
was recognized, but where was he to
go? In tile symphony orchestra - usual
first home for most instrumentalists -
there are no guitar desks. He still
played the piano, and better than -foe
guitar for some years. He also took up
foe cello; be never really mastered it
but the bowed instrument gave him
invaluable undertandiug of how to
phrase on a plucked one.
An interlude in foe army postponed
awkward decisions when he left foe
For all that his instrument did not
have a large and familiar repertory, he
was soon well known. To begin with he
was sa broke that he needed an old-
fashioned benefit recital - “Segovia
gave a tenner” - but work started to
come his way. The BBC was a. patron
which he remembers with especial
gratitude, as how many British
musicians do not? First were little
interludes on foe old Light Pro-
gramme, then the Home Service (five
guineas for quarter of an hour), and
after that graduation to the Third
Programme.
By foe time he was in his mid-twen-
ties he had taken flight; he has risen
ever higher over the past quarter of
century. His advance came in part
because he was taken up by and with
the English musical renaissance. The,
list of those with whom he has worked
and who have composed for him is
remarkable: Rawsthome, Sir Lennox
Berkeley, Sir William Walton (who
had promised another piece at his
death). Sir Michael Tippett, more
recently Peter Maxwell Davies, and
maybe most especially Benjamin
Britten. Bream has given countless
recitals accompanying Britten's life-
long companion Sir Peter Pears, in
music by Britten and others.
Although substantially the larger
part of his working life has-been spent
playing foe guitar, and although he
learnt to play the lute comparatively
late, it is foe latter instrument that he
speaks of with greater affection. It may
have a smaller repertory than the
guitar but in large measure it is a
superior one. The contrapuntal music
of the sixteenth century (and later) is
so much more intellectually demand-
ing than much of foe guitar repertory
by Spanish and other composers erf the
second rank, if that -
As with Segovia, it is no wonder that
Bream has spent so much time
arranging great music written. for other
Segovia, most players pluck with foe
nails for greater sonority and bril-
liance. At the end of Bream's beefy
arms anil strong though delicate hands
are long, tough and carefully mani-
cured nails.
A good part of the time when he is
not atone, this hand will-be grasping a
glass of wine as he talks. Not plonk: for
a passing oenophUic reporter he
cheerfully and most generously opens a
bottle or ’67 Chateau Laiour. For all
that he likes touring and concert
giving, it is hard not to think that foe
exiled Londoner is happiest there in
his beloved garden with flowers, books,
wine and most of all music.

To work or
not to work
The Chancellor’s charge that some
people deliberately remain on the
dole because they calculate they are
better off that way comes in the
wake of a lively academic contro-
versy on the subject. Firmly on Mr
Nigel Lawson’s side is Professor
Patrick Minferd of Liverpool
University who suggests in a recent
book. Unemployment - Cause and
Cure. *h«t 15 per cent of the
workforce would be better off
unemployed-
wages and so pushes up general pay
levels, pricing people out of work.
Professor Minford claims that a 10
per cent cut in benefit would reduce
unemployment by 700,000 but a
more detailed recent study* by
researchers at the London School of
Economics, based on data from a
government survey, suggests the
figure is closer to 90,000. With the
number of jobless topping three
million this would be small reward
for a heavy price in hardship for the
families left on the dole.

The independent Institute for Fiscal
Studies, on the other hand, reckons
that only about 2 per cent of the
work force is in this position. They
say Professor Minford has exagger-
ated the costs of working - fens to
work and so on — and underesti-
mated the benefits available to low
paid people with jobs.
A rriated argument adding feel to
the debate over whether unemploy-

increase in house

that oz least half the mortgage
money, and possibly mare, finds Us
way out of the housing market and
into other consumer spending to
finance carpets, washing machines,
holidays and the like.
It is not so much that people are
cheating - obtaining mortgage
funds just for the tax relief. It is an
inevitable part of the process. As the
Bank of England commented in its
Quarterly Bulletin last September,
every chain in the second-hand
housing market has an end . The last
house comes on the market because
the owner has died, or moved in
with relatives, or is sold by the
landlord afier tenants have left. That
cash is not spent on housing.
Unemployment may also have
persuaded some people to trade
dawn their houses, releasing cash for
consumption. And mortgage money
will have gone in large part on home
improvements and repairs, and new
fixtures and finings on moving. The
Bank reckons that about 50 percent
of mortgage lending now "leaks"
into consumption, a much higher
proportion than in earlier years. But
other researchers put the figure as
high as two-thirds.

adult workers.
During the 1970s youth earnings
rose from 47 to 56 per cent of adult
earnings, though since 1979 they
hare fallen hade to 53 per cent in
1982. The researchers found that a
1 per cent increase in relative wages

my station
in life
1 1 was once brought toa standstill m the laic
1 1960s by an Evening Standard placard
headline: NUDE POLICE SWOOP. In
order to deal with the vision of unclothed
policemen wheeling and soaring out of the
sky, and swooping on some poor innocent
(until proved guilty) victim, I had to come
to a physical halt in foe street It was then I
noticed foe mio p n g colon - NUDE:
M ost of the time he is in
his house not a hundred
miles from Salisbury, a
large handsome farm-
house surrounded by
converted out-houses. Julian Bream is
a serious tnnmcfaiii behind V s charm-
ingly unserious and bucolic manner.
He practises and works bard. His day
begins at 7.30 with a cup of tea, then
half an hour’s piano practice to
exercise his fingers - this always comes
before the guitar or lute - and breakfast
and work from 8.30 till noon. After
hutch he has a longish walk — in
weather as hot as this week’s the walk
might be before breakfast - and then
work again from fbur.tUl seven.
Wiltshire has other advantages than
a landscape of chalk downs. Not very
for from Bream's home is the beautiful
baroque chapel of Wardour Castle,
which has perfect acoustics tor broad-
casting and recording. (There are also
problems. His house is too. near a
military airbase - as Britten’s house at
Aldbingh was - for silent comfort And
foe chapel is not a great many miles
away from a large gunnery range: the
naked ear cannot pick up the distant
gunfire but foe recording tape some-
times does.) Mr Bream has the
additional happy advantage of a
coincidence. Josfc Roma-
nfllm followed him there^ Together
they have what must be a. unique,
distinction far a great guitarist and a
great guitar-maker the one has a
cricket bat made for him by the other.
As well as foe bat Bream has numerous i
guitars but normally plays only one.
Most guitars, however good, can be
played only for so long, then they Jose

.veiled. The instrument can, however,
be rested for a year or so and then
nursed back.
Although be lives atone now, with
two marriages behind him, Julian
Bream is for from a xechue. He has a
regular flow of friends to stay, to glay
music - and not only murid. He is a
cricket devotee, both as a spectator at
Lord’s and playing in village matches.
Unlike some musicians he has no
neurotic care for bis physical well-be-
ing, although the prospect of a rising
ball striking his left hand cannot be
amusing. His most serious physical
concern is with the finger nails of his
right hand. There are various ways of

Monday, when 1 read foe message
LONDON STATION FOR SALE.
It wasn’t until that moment that Z
realized, deep down, that I had always
wanted to own a station. This is probably
for four years, between the ages of
about 6 and 10. 1 lived in a station. I went
home to sleep and for meals, and I must
have gone to school, but foe rest ofthe time
I lived in foe station, simply because it
seemed the best possible place m the world.
It was called Gresford; it was a country
station and it had everything. It had a level
crossing, it a bridge, it had a signal box
and it had buckets hanging up marked
FERE Behind the station there was a steep
hillsi de with woods which sprouted
bluebells in spring and bracken in summer.
The other ride there were water meadows
which specialized in lady’s smack and
cowslips and through which the River Alyn
flowed, though I never found out where to.
It had a notice asking passengers to shew
their tickets at the barrier, and I often
wondered why they had to shew them and
not foowthem. It wasn't till I was grown-
up that I realized railways like using words
that nobody rise uses, such as ’’alight”,
“commence” and “terminate”.
Giesford also had trains. 1 leave mention
of them tin last because, although at the
time I thought I was there to see the trains,
I realize tookLag back that it was the station
I loved. I didn’t want to be an engine driver
when I grew up; I wanted to be a
stationmaster.
The line it was on was the main Great
Western from London to B ir ke n head, and
Gresford is Just beyond Wrexham, ou the
last, bit of welsh foothill before the rich
Cheshire plains are reached. Why my
i~n gii»h father wanted to live in Wales I
never found out, but the result is that
althou gh I had a Welsh childhood, I shall
never be ride to write about it lire a real
Welshman, not being one of the tribe, and
not being called Gwyn or Thomas or both.
Hie next village over the hill had the real
Welsh name of Llay, and the Gresford lads
had a longstanding rivalry wifo the Uay
lads, but I never felt really involved.
Someone at Gresford station, one of the
porters I think, liked gardening and the
main platform bad lovely flower beds
which one _ year entitled them tx> sport a
plaque saying: “Best Kept Station of the
Year in . . . “ Denbighshire? Britain? The
.world? It was also a base for pigeon racing.
Now and again the stationmaster would lug
a big basket full of pigeons off a train and
leave it lying on the platform. You could
hear them making soft noises inside.
Where have they sent us this time?
Gresford? Never beard of 1 l Waledl How
the hell do we get home from Wales?
Then the stationmaster would re-emerge,
c hockin g bis big turnip watch, and at the
very dot of the very hour would open the
basket. The pigeons would launch forth as
if inaugurating the Olympic Games, circle
above the station once or twice, fed 'the
cold air coming down from tire Welsh hills
and shoot off in the direction of wherever
they lived, apparently un worried by the
thought that as soon as they got there they
would be put in another basket and sent off
again. Occasionally the station master
would find one rebellious pigeon skulking
in the bottom of foe basket and Jack him
out, then leave the station to me and foe
flowers. And the trains. The Castles, foe
Manors, the Halls, foe O-6-Os, the pannier
tanks - ah, what engines they were in those
days.
The carious thing is that for 99 per cent
ofthe time there were no trains at alL One
was always waiting for tire next one. And
why hot? The whole point about being in a
station is just being in a statical. The one
that has just come on the market,
Maxylebone, is a little big for my needs but
now that I know that’s what I want, I can
wait.
CONCISE CROSSWORD
(No 103)
Once these eyefiad improvements
are stripped out of the figures, the
“productivity miracle" looks las
impressive. MuaUbauer and Mendis
say Britain's long-term productivity
growth is unlikely to exceed the
sluggish rate of about 2 per cent a
year seen in the 1970s unless there is
a substantial recovery in investment
Some indication cf how far
Britain has to go to catch up with its
major international rivals on
pnxhictivity came last year from the
National Institute of Economic and
Social Research. According to its
Review of Avgust 1982, Britain
would have to boost manufacturing ,
productivity by 50 per cent to match 1
European levels, ay 100 per cent to
equal Japan and by as much as 200
per cent to reach the United States.

The Language of the
Teenage Revolution
By Kenneth Hudson
(Macmillan. £15)
There is no Queen's English,
bat a thousand overlapping
dialects, registers, and uses to
which we put the mother tongue
in different contexts. In his new
book Kenneth Hudson examines
the aggressive teenage culture of
the sixties, which said: “1 don’t
need to wear a tie, or get my hair
cut. and I can speak how I
want.” He explores the ways in
which the teenage code affected
the language, often in subtle
detail, including the habit of
speaking in inverted commas for
irony or sarcasm. Hudson, good
wordsmith, has mined such rich
sources as Jackie and Hew
Musical Repress to come np
with another useful report on
the stale of the ever-changing
language.

BBC television programmes have
consistently declined the oppor-
tunity to interview Anne Edwards,
biographer of Margaret Mitchell,
who wrote Gone with the Wind,
while she is in Britain next week to
launch her book The Road to Tara.
The BBC. you may remember, paid
£4.4m in 1980 for television rights
to the film. The reason for the
reluctance to feature Edwards is
simply that the programme pro-
ducers would all want to introduce
her with a clip from the film. Yet to
do that would cost them another
£85Q, which is beyond their budgets.
The BBC's £4.4 million deal with
MGM allows for clips to be shown
only as trailers to complete screen-
ings of the film.
Britain is now. as it has been for the
last four years, a testing ground for
economic ideas. In particular, the
debate about whether recovery can
develop without government stimu-
lus may soon be resolved. The
outcome will be important. It will
influence for a long time to come the
climate of opinion in which policy-
formation and theoretical analysis
are conducted.
The earliest and most funda-
mental criticism of the Conserva-
tives' economic programme was font
self-generating revival in business
activity could not occur. In early
1981. 364 economists signed a letter
to The Times which stated as its
main point that: “There is no basis
in economic theory or supporting
evidence for the Govennent’s belief
that by deflating demand they will
bring inflation permanently under
control and thereby induce an
automatic recovery in output and
employment.”
This letter was undoubtedly
representative of academic and
professional opinion. Most econom-
ists in this country have long
thought that it is the Government's
task to manage the level of demand.
They seem to regard the economy as
behaving like an obstinate mule
which, withoot the occasional push
and shove from extra expenditure or
deliberate currency depredation,
will just stand still. In 1981, when
the recession was at its worst, they
wanted particularly vigorous
reflationary measures.
The Government did not oblige.
Instead it adhered to a medium-
term finanrial strategy which speci-
fied monetary and budget deficits
targets for several years ahead. This
strategy came in for some sharp
criticism, notably from the Cam-
bridge Economic Policy Group. In a
newspaper article of September 30
1981, the group's leader. Professor
Wynne Godley, said: “There is no
hope at all fora sustained rec overy if
all that happens is that the MTFS is
continued or reconstituted into
some alternative m umbo-jumbo”.
In his view, the MTFS had already
become “ridiculous”.
The thinkidg behind the MTFS
and, indeed the Government's
whole approach was that the
economy had in-built mechanisms
which would sooner or later lead to
improved business conditions.
Supporters of official policy were
not very explicit about what these
mechanisms were or how they
operated. But one idea was empha-
sized quite strongly: it was that
lower inflation would permit lower
interest rates and lower interest rates
would cause more spending.
So who has been right, the
majority of academic economists or
the Government and the relatively
small band of advisers sympathetic
to it? Are there signs of a
spontaneous recovery? And are they
sufficiently numerous and convinc-
ing to decide the argument?
market What is happening in this
area at present?
The evidence is unambiguous.
The years 1 982 and early 1983 have
seen a remarkable boom in mort-
gage credit. As the table shows.
lending for house-buying soared
from £2,49 lm in the fourth quarter
of 1981 to £3,868m in the fourth
quarter of 1982 and has been
maintained al high levels tins year.
Initially the entry of the teaks
into the mortgage market was one
reason for the rapid increase. But
they have curtailed their activities
recently, allowing the .building
societies to resume their traditional
position as the dominant suppliers
of housing finance. Between the first
quarters of 1982 and 1983 lending
by the building societies more than
doubled.
Housing credit influences econ-
omic activity through several
channels. There is a direct impact on
housebuilding and the construction
industry. Probably more important,
although less obvious, is a boost to
consumer demand. Much mortgage
credit does not stay in residential
property, but instead seeps out into
other parts of the economy by a
process known as “equity with-
drawal”. The classic example is an
individual moving up-market who
increases his mortgage by more than
tbe change in the value of his home,
releasing money for the purchase of
consumer durables.
Whatever tbe particular route by
which mortgage lending has been
diverted from residential property,
there is no doubt that the boom in
bousing credit has been associated
with an upturn in consumer
The difficulty with tbe stand
taken by critics of the Government
is that they failed to explain how the
economy had grown in the centuries
before the invention of fiscal fine-
tuning, demand reflation and the
rest of the Keynesian fool kit. A not
very thorough examination of
economic history until 1940 suggests
that output and employment did
recover automatically from cyclical -
downturns. Contrary to the claim of
the 364 economists, there is a mass
of “supporting evidence” on the
issue. The interesting question is
what caused business fluctuations in
the absence of a meddlesome
demand-managing government.
There are many potential answers,
but nearly all involve changes in tbe
rate of capital accumulation and in
the scale of credit flows to finance
investment It follows that if we are
to understand how the economy
might recover without government
stimulus today, we should look at
wealth and credit By far the largest
single capital asset in tbe economy
is the housing stock, while borrow-
ing for house purchase is the biggest
financial transaction most people
undertake It seems reasonable to
e x pert the most reliable signs of
recovery to emerge in the housing
spending. Retail sales in the first half
of 1983 have been about S per cent
higher than is the first half of 1982;
or registrations have jumped by
almost 20 per cent over the same
period. The npturn. in demand i$

most optimistic since 1979.
There is still room for a few
gratifications. hesitations and
doubts, but it seems clear that a
recovery has started. The recovery
has taken hold without fiscal
stimulus. It owes almost everything
to a revival in domestic demand
which originated largely in the
d^i. . .i...-:... r
The new Chanodlor of the Exchequ-
er’s cash-saving- and cash-raising
-exercise to cover some of the
Government's over-spending in the
current financial year has found few
supporters enthusiastic enough to
cheer him for getting his judgment
precisely right ,
Those who thought that Sir
Geoffrey Howe's budget judgment
was too tight for spending and
borrowing in the current financial
year naturally argue ‘that his
successor could have afforded to
accept the potential' extra £2,000m
L to £3,000m in public sector borrow-
ing.
' The City, on the other hand, has
tended to feel that Mr Lawson's
correction was enough to signal
alarm that the Government's mon-
British public’s enthusiasm for I etary policy was somewhat awry but
home ownership and a willingness
to translate that enthusiasm into
heavy mortgage borrowing; it owes
very little, if anything, to an wibTftl
budget deficit.
To complete the story we need to
ask what was responsible for the
boom in housing credit. Some,
institutional changes, such as the
bank's new involvement in home
mortgages, played a role, but much
more significant was a large fell in
interest rates.
As this fall proceeded in 1982, tbe
building societies cut their deposit
rales less than the hank*, pulled in
more money and had no trouble
lending it to the large number of
their customers eager to increase
their stake in residential property.
The move to lower interest fates
would have been inconceivable
without a simultaneous decline in
inflation.

desirability of privatization per se.
this amounts to disposing of capita!
assets for the specific purpose of
covering current spending.
So perhaps, bn a strictly moneta-
rist argument, the Chancellor should
have raised more like £ 1,500m from
straight economies. It is not hard to
see why the Cabinet would have
found this politically unacceptable.
More important, it is still early in
the year to make slashing cuts in
anticipation of an end-year over-
spending foe size of which is at’ this
stage still unpredictable. Indeed,
mid-year public sector cuts have
usually been regarded as impracti-
cable hitherto, which makes it all the
more significant that Mr Lawson has
attempted them in an attempt to
change foe psychology of public
sector managers. -

support, is decreasing. Today, the
Old communities in which they lived
are increasingly being broken up and

them have less cohesion and inner
unity. The tribal aspect of society,
while lingering in some places, is
slowly dying out. Labour must take
practical steps to win over these new
groups. It must' appeal not only to
foe manual workers but also to
white-collar workers, professional
groups and those progressive groups
which have clear, one-issue, political
objectives.
Some of these latter groups have
clearly been attracted to foe
SDP/Liberal Alliance. They have
them. They, with their policies of
turning history back, of undermin-
ing the welfare state, of non-inter-
vention in economic and industrial
affairs, of supporting reactionary
regimes abroad and of advocating
reactionary policies at home, must
clearly be the main political enemy.
But if they are to be turned out of
office at the next election, then
Labour must also turn its attention
to winning support from those who
have temporarily been won over to

The truth of foe matter is that in

Labour must continue to expose .and concentrate on victory.
As for changes in policy, naturally
-we cannot go on, parrot fashion,
saying all the same old things- But
Labour's defeat does not mean that
foe policies were wrong, although
they were not properly got over to
the public It is dear however, that
some of them need revising. There
must be, for example, a greater
emphasis on building up contacts
among European socialists and trade
unionists. The issue of Britain's
membership of the EEC cannot now
be a central question, certainly not
in the foreseeable future. The
emphasis must be on producing
policies by all socialists in Europe,
for full employment, control of the
multinationals, planning foe conti-
nent’s resources in tbe interests of
foe people and not allowing Europe
to become, like the USA. foe borne
of unbridled free enterprise.
What we really need is to work
towards a Europe that reflects the
bureaucratic concepts of foe Soviet
Union, where political democracy is
non-existent, and the totally fire .
enterprise system of the United
States, where money rules. Europe
was the cradle of modern civiliza-
tion. It can be the model, for
democratic . socialism, and that
should be Labour’s objective. In tbe
past many diverse politicians have
advocated a Socialist United States
of Europe, a concept which has been
overlooked or pushed aside; but one
which I believe has a great deal to
commend it One thing is certain;
foe type of just society that Labour
wants cannot be built in isolation.
That applies equally to foe ,
campaign against nuclear weapons.
Labour’s policies on this are correct
and need to be extended to Europe
as a whole, with foe objective of
creating a European nuclear-free
zone. While working within Nato,
Labour must work for the ending of
both tbe Nato and Warsaw Pacts, so
that foe frontiers of war can be
rolled back.
Mrs Thatcher has faced foe
country with a stark choice. Tbe
Macmillan “middle way” has- been
destroyed. The future is either tc
have democratic socialism or for the
country and Europe to sink further*
into the morass of unemployment,
capitalist concepts, conflict ami
confrontation.
Labour has to develop a renewed
socialism, one which rejects bureau- .
crajdc ail- pervading state control and
replaces it with a non-state socialism
which develops self-management
with a greater involvement of foe
people.
The struggles for the future of
Britain are going to intensify.
Labour needs a strong, dynamic,
vigorous and intelligent parliamen-
tary leadership, but it must also
accept that * extra-parliamentary
activity will increase. This would be
in keeping with British tradition,
and those Labour councils and trade
unions finding themselves in con-
flict with Thatcherism must be given
support.
Labour’s future is as a fighting,
democratic socialist organization. It
is that or it is nothing. IF it builds
such an organization, appealing to
.the workers and beyond, a Labour
government at foe next election is
assured.

a result the Treasury is now

specifically, it is dear how little is

of local authority spending, which
now appears to have been the
principal .cause of foe borrowing
problem which confronted the new
Chancellor.
Whereas central government
borrowing in this current financial
year rose by £2,300m, only £300m of
this - almost exactly equivalent to
the Chancellor's spending cats - is
more cheaply than they can from the
banks.
With our borrowing as a pro-
portion of our gross domestic
product in constant decline, and our
recovery comparing favourably with
that of other western countries, they
do not want to see capital spending
and industrial recovery sacrificed to
demand-led and local authority
spending. Nor do they want a replica
of foe 1972-73 property boom.
A full and early statement on local
authority spending is needed. It

What is to happen to the old West

accounted for by centra! govern-
ments own excess of spending over
revenue. The rest is accounted for by
toe central government’s tending to
local authonnes and to nationalized
industries.
The Treasury does not know to
what extent this money represents
capital or current spending, although
toe overall picture will be dearer
when toe first quarter of this
financial year’s public sector bor-
rowing requirement is published
next week. In other words, last
Thursday's announcement of spend-
ing cuts was made, if not in the dark,
at least in foe half-light of knowledge
- which is foe principal justification
for Mr Lawson’s caution in not
cutting more at this stage.
Had he done nothing, he would
have risked seeming' indifferent to
the -prospect for keeping inflation
down in 18 months to two years
time, which is what principally
determines market attitudes to
sterling and interest rates now and
in foe coming months. Just as toe
stringency of 1981 led to toe present
suflflffss in curbing inflation (and
creating the basis of economic
recovery) so laxity now could sow
the seeds of renewed inflation in
1985. But toe danger was equally of
-over-reaction, for it is by no means
impossible for demand controlled
expenditure to contract later this
year, and for toe total outturn of
public spending to be less than is
now predicted.
The battle for next year's depart-
mental spending programmes will
be a hard one. but the tin mediate
question is whether enough lias been
done this year to stave off a rise in
interest rates here. In the last
analysis, everything will depend on
what happens in the US but a rise in
the rate of interest there is more
easily resisted if there is confidence
in our own domestic economy.
For all these reasons. Conserva-
tive MPs are generally disinclined to
cavil at Mr Lawson's judgment, but
they are rightly worried about the
lack of information behind it, and

Sir Anthony Kershaw's draft
report recognizes certain under-

That is the Com mittee's view,
but that is not in itself enough.
The Argentine claim cannot be
seriously considered simply
because it is reiterated. There are
respectable international pro-
cedures for adjudicating on
- claims of sovereignty. Argentina
should either use them or
recognize that it has no better

: worse one, than the British
Government, which thus has no
The Committee goes on to
explore what changes there could
be. Integration wi thin the UK?
Independence? Trusteeship?
Leaseback? As a provision of the
Antarctic Treaty? Or as a
multilateral defence base in the
South Atlantic? The merits and
demerits of early option are
considered. The Committee
concludes that of them all the
leaseback proposition, extending
over a span of several gener-
ations of islanders, sboold be
kept under the closest consider-
ation as a possible device for
securing the long-term future of
the islanders at lower financia l
and diplomatic costs to the
United Kingdom. But not yet.
The ■ legacy of distrust and
enmity created by the Argentine
invasion and occupation, the
unpalatable nature of the Argen-
tine regime and its con tinuing
bellicosity not only rule out such
considerations for the time
being, but make it imperative
that Britain m aintains the
firmest posture of deterrence and
defence of the islands.
These are respectable con-
siderations for members of
Parliament but they have a
major weakness as a basis for
policy in a government The
committee concludes that since
the Argentine claim is not likely
to go away, it will have to be
conceded. It bases this con-
clusion on the supposition that
the defence burden will other-
wise * become intolerable. No
sentiment could be more con-
ducive to encouraging Argentine
erable. It will indeed be an
additional burden on Britain’s
defences.' That might cause the
actual contribution to the Euro-
pean theatre to be lightened.
What is overlooked, however, is
the considerable strategic advan-
tage of a continuing British
presence in the South Atlantia
In the United States there is a
division of view about the need
to mend fences with Argentina
and the fear of upsetting Britain
in the process. In November,
when Argentina should acquire a
civilian government, it will be
necessary for Washington to
make friendly representation to
Buenos Aires, which will prob-
ably include some arms deals.
Arms sales may be a necessary
element for forging a new
relationship between Washing-
ton and Buenos Aires. The
weapons concerned must not
alter the current balance, of
power over the Falklands, but
provided that can be aranged,
Britain should not protest. The
only hope of more amicable
future relations between Buenos
Aires and London must lie in a
triangular relationship with
Washington. That might encour-
age a gradual understanding in
Buenos Aires that Argentina’s
strategic interest in the South
Atlantic is best served by multi-
lateral conversations and agree-
ments and not by an obsessive
persistence with the claim to
sovereignty over the Falklands.
Then - but only then - it might
be possible for Britain to con-
template leaseback arrangements
in which the juridical change
would not in any way undermine
the security of the FaDdanders
and Britain’s capacity to guaran-
tee it
THE SHORT-SIGHTED STREET
On a dear day in Heet Street you
cannot often see tomorrow. It is
the fate of the Financial Times
to be out of print at present,
struggling with a dispute which
has dragged on now for 40 days.
But it might be any other house.
The plethora of negotiating
bodies, each and any one of
which can halt production of any
issue of any paper on any night -
at The Times there are 35 such
bodies - when coupled with a
congenitally cavalier attitude to
agreed procedures, and aggra-
vated by the failure . of the
printing trade union leadership
when challenged to excercise that
leadership to the full over its
members, that creates conditions
of total instability.
If ever the nation needed an
example of the trade union
leadership paralysed by its own
impotence - or at least by its lack
of will to enforce its writ - the
dispute at the Financial Times
provides an unedifying illus-
tration. It has become a com-
monplace to blame Fleet' Street
managements for the chaos in
Fleet Street, on the grounds that
“they do not manage”. Certainly
many managements have sur-
rendered their prerogatives far
beyond any prudent degree, to a
point where they neither hire,
fire or take primary responsi-
bility for the general deployment
of many of their workers. To that
extent they do not manage. In
the case, in question at the
Financial Times , however, that
criticism does not apply.
Here was a management
operating in an orthodox man-
ner, respecting procedures which
were then flouted on the shop
floor. It called in the trade union
leadership, including Mr Leu
Murray. They endorsed the
exercise in mediation and Mr
Murray, on behalf of the TUC,
said he hoped both sides would
respect its foldings. Mr Wade for
the NGA said that the union
would give ‘ it most earnest
consideration and agreed that
the target date for concluding
negotiations should be 3 July.
In the event, the paper has not
restarted publication. What
response has there been from Mr
Murray and the other trade
union leaders? The answer at
present is very little. As hitherto,
disruptions in Heet Street are .
shown to flourish because trade
union leaders cannot, or will not,
put their own house in order.
The Financial Times , though the
latest victim, is merely one more
in a long saga of trade union
inability to deliver its members.
; It is difficult for other news-
papers to help the Financial
Times, much more difficult than
it is for other members of the
NGA to help their colleagues
there by subscribing a weekly £5
levy from pay-packets of several
hundred pounds per week. It
may sound like crocodile tears
for another newspaper - and one
certainly engaged in some direct
competition with the Financial
Times - to bewail the absence of
its competitor. But apart from
the transitory benefit of advertis-
ing revenue coming here in
default of a home at the
Financial Times, there are dis-
tortions to our sales pattern, and
a general lack of clarity to the
commercial picture, which are
not welcome.
On a higher level, moreover, it
is not comforting for any Heet
Street house to witness the ease
with which any Heet Street
workers can bring the whole
edifice tumbling down. We come
in to work each day with no
guarantee that one or other of
the many trade union chapels
will not conspire to halt pro-
duction. When the bell tolls for
the Financial Times it tolls for
usalL
There are only three con-
ditions in which Heet Street can
ever see beyond its nose, even on
a dear day. The first is for the
trade union Jeadership to acquire
the authority and win to deliver
its members to honour agree-
merits. That is sadly lacking to
date. The second is for Fleet
Street managements to introduce
a system, such as a layoff clause
in their working agreements,
which would prevent small
groups of workers being able to
hold the whole company to
ransom because it has to con-
tinue paying all its other workers
during their period of enforced
idleness. If a layoff clause is
impracticable then binding con-
tracts . should be considered
which have the sanctity of
contracts and would thus carry
penal consequences for any
breach.
Finally the performance of the
National Graphical Association
in the dispute at the Financial
Times has shown once again that
it is not entitled to be entrusted
with monopoly control of the
new technology knocking on
Heet Streets doors. It is not
entitled to insist on this mon-
opoly, nor is it systemically
necessary. Mr Joe Wade recog-
nized that fact in his speech to
his annual meeting two years
ago; but his members do not yet
seem to have absorbed the
message-
EASTERN APPROACHES
The Japanese-Soviet talks which
open today in Moscow are more
likely to emphasize the growing
tensions between the two states
than to initiate any reduction in
arms. Since last November when
Mr Yasuhiro Nakasone became
leader of the ruling Liberal
Democratic Party ang prime
minister, Japan's relations with
the United States have im-
proved, while existing differ-
ences with the USSR have been
exacerbated. Moscow blames the
deterioration on “Japanese mili-
taristic trends stimulated by. US
imperialism** but the real causes
are to be found in the policies of
the USSR and its inflexible
attitude on issues of great
concern to Japan.
The Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko has claimed
that Japan and its territorial
waters are “crammed” with US
nuclear weapons, and Moscow
objects strongly to the planned
deployment of American. F-l 6
fighter bombers in northern
Japan. But the Japanese have felt
increasingly vulnerable -because
of. the massive expansion of
Soviet military power in the
Pacific area, they have mitiated a
modest growth. in the defence
budget which remains less than
one per cent of GNP.

negotiations that the USSR,

are quite unacceptable. Tokyo
believes that more than a
hundred SS-20s are already
deployed in the eastern terri-
tories of the USSR.
Moscow has repeatedly
attacked Mr Nakasone for stat-
ing his intention of turning
Japan into an “unsuitable air-
craft carrier” but of course has
failed to acknowledge his reason
for doing so: the need to stop
Soviet submarines and Backfire
bombers violating Japanese ter-
ritorial waters and airspace.
Since even the largest oppo-
sition party,
received only a third of the
number of seats won by the
Liberals in the June elections to
the upper house of the Diet, Mr
Nakasone can expect to continue
his policies of strengthening
defences and promoting closer
■ ties with the United States.
The leader of the Japanese
delegation in Moscow, Mr Shozo
Kadota, is the head of the
Foreign Ministry’s United
Nations department and is
expected to raise the issues of the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
and the occupation of Cambodia
by Vietnam, which have both
been condemned by the UN. But
matters rioser to home are likely
to lead to even more heated
discussion.
The USSR has reinforced its
military bases in the four
disputed islands, lying to the
north of Hokkaido, which the
USSR occupied in 1945 and
claims as an inalienable part of
the Soviet Kurile chain. Tokyo
continues to demand the return
of its lost northern territories.
As a consequence of the Soviet
mifitaxy build-up and aggressive
policies in Afghanistan and
dsehwere, the USSR has lost
valuable trade with Japan.
•Rather than stridently ao-
; curing Tokyo of “militarism**,
the SoYiet leaders should reflect
on their isolated position in the
world. It is not by chance that
Nato countries, ni™ and Japan
share a mistrust, of .Soviet
intentions and a consequent
determination to strengthen
their defences. •
sooner or later, this debt will have to
1 be recognized for what it is:
permanent funding of the kind
l normally associated with the
► national debt
i It follows, therefore, that these
loans should be converted into
bonds for which, both interest and
\ redemption provisions should be
under the regulation of the IMF.
After a suitable period, in which it
1 would be hoped that interest would
■ be reliably met, trading in the bonds
should be permitted on the major
: world bourses, thus allowing the
L banks eventually to restructure their
1 sovereign exposure,
i It is another matter whether or
, not the international banks would
l welcome converting part of their
loan portfolio into “Argentine
, Everlasting'’ or “Polish Perpetuals”,
t but a solution managed by the
appropriate international agency
would be preferable to recurrent
rescheduling crises.
Alas for the debtor countries, they
will not be allowed to follow the
example of Britain, which even now
has £2.6bn outstanding in irredeem-
able (undated) low-coupon gilts
whose original owners must regard
the UK Government as being in
moral - but not, of course, legal -
default.

Western defence
From Mr Lionel Bloch
Sir, Ever since the US agreed to
carry most of the burden of Western
defence, we had to put up with the
unseemly spectacle of European
wags carping at the military efforts
of successive administrations from
the comfort and security provided
by the American nuclear umbrella.
The latest example is your
anonymous profile (feature, July 8)
of the Assistant Secretary for
International Security Policy, Mr
Richard Perie.
Even his expertise and brilliance
are only acknowledged in order to
emphasise the ad hominem sneer-
ing. His crime? A determination,
shared by every senior member of
the Reagan Government, to stand
up to Soviet expansionism and not
be fooled by bogus disarmament
postures.
Mr Perie is allowed a few
sentences ' about the inordinate
increase in Soviet missiles since.
1972. As the. argument is unanswer-
able, no attempt.is made to answer
h. Indeed, no evidence is offered to
substantiate the snide criticisms of
the policies which be articulates.
Instead there is abuse: “The Darth
Varder of the Pentagon”, “The Cold
Warrior”, “The Prince of Dark-
ness”. Only Doctor Strangelove and
the Apocalypse are somebowomit-
ted.
His pleas for higher standards of
arms control - the sine qua non of
any meaningful disarmament nego-
tiations - are belittled as “his
standards”.
Of course; Perie has enemies:
unilateralists whose fantasies col-
lapse under his lucid scrutiny;
bankers who are concerned about
their wobbly loans to Eastern
Europe; churchmen to whom an
accommodation with the Commu-
nist regimes seems the most
important thing; and miscellaneous
wets and appeasers. It is a matter of
some regret that The Times should,
at least in this instance, appear to
join their ranks.
Yours faithfully,

De minimis
From Mr Andrew Webb
Sir, The article by Frances Gibb
(Spectrum, July 4) rightly points out
that criminal legal aid is often
abused by all concerned in the
judicial system and often results in
an extravagant waste of taxpayers’
money.
To illustrate the point further I
recently acted for a 31-year-old
woman, with no previous convic-
tions, who stole two packets of
peanuts, value 4Sp, from a shop.
The mag istrates were of the opinion
that they needed to know more
about this woman, before sentencing
her and so the case was adjourned
for reports.
Legal aid was granted and the end
result was that the woman was given
g conditional discharge. The legal
aid cost of preparing that case and
representing that woman came to

State safety net
From Mr Derek Osborne
Sir, It is sad to read in your leading
article, “The safety net state” (June
27) an encouragement for the
resurrection of the every man for
himself ethic in a field of social
democracy where, after many years’
thought and effort, we had managed
to eliminate the need for individual
and commercial usury and compe-
tition.
There are so many other areas in
which these factors depress the
, unprivileged and stimulate the
arrogance of the privileged (and
some of us may move from one
group to the other more than once)
that it was refreshing to witness .the
patient growth of a earing society.
You trot out the monetarist
statistics about the cost of universal
service as though they were dis-
missal enough. But you fail to
framing the alternative cost in
human misery which our past
experience records so fully. The test
of a benevolent society is when most
divorce.
In the last 25 years there has been
a 600 per cent increase in divorce
and there is much debate about the
ca us e s , consequences and what
course of action should be taken. We
are about to see another round of
this discussion insofar as it affects
the plight of children, the financial
disposition of the spouses, and the
Church’s attitude to marriage.
It seems unlikely that a coherent
policy for the future will e m er ge
until society faces the fact that we
are witnessing a profound change in
the nature of marriage. The name
remains the same, but its inner
world is changing from being
primarily a permanent contract, in
which the children and their welfare
were its main concern, to a
relationship intended to be perma-
nent, in which companionship,
equity and personal fulfilment are
becoming just as important as the
welfare of children.
The viability of marriage is
increasingly reflecting the ability of
two people to meet each other's
minimum social, physical, emo-
tional intellectual and spiritual
needs. The gap between the previous
expectations and the current ones,
unassisted by preparation, education
or support for the changes, has been
filled by divorce.
Until society accepts this trans-
formation in marriage, which is
occurring at different rates through-
out this country and the whole of
Western society, it will remain
helpless before divorce, with its
large-scale human suffering and the
cost to the slate of upwards of £!bn
annually.
It is important that the Govern-
ment, churches and society join
forces to make use of the available
facts, whilst encouraging more
research to integrate nationwide
programmes for both church and
state marriages which aim to give
adequate preparation before mar-
riage and effective support to the
unfolding relationship afterwards.
A co-ordinated plan is needed for
education, prevention and early
effective intervention at the start of
difficulties. The basic ingredients for
such a polity exist if all concerned
show the wiU to grasp the challenge
presented by one of the most
profound changes in the fabric of
society.

From "his Honour Lyall Wilkes
Sir, For over 18 years on the Bench
until my retirement last year, I have
dealt almost every day with some
aspect of divorce and the conse-
quential travail of custody, access
and financial applications, so that
what follows is the result of that
experience.
The attempt by the courts under
the present rules to place the parties
EEC accountability
From Mr Harry Salter
Sir, It is a pity that even among
members of Parham cm (Sir Antho-
ny Meyer, July 2), there is still a
misunderstanding of what can be
done for the United Kingdom by
simply increasing the size of the
EEC budget.
There should certainly be such an
increase or the Community will
grind to a halt But to say, as Sir
Anthony does, that there would be a
significant financial benefit for the
UK from an expanded regional
policy is to ignore the facts.
The UK at present gets 24 per
cent of the ETC Regional Fund and
contributes overall about 24 per cent
of its cost - net benefit, nti.
However, additional expenditure is
financed from the VAT element of
the contributions of member states,
where the UK's share is about 21 per
cent, so one can argue that an
increase in the fund would benefit
the UK, but only by about three
units for every 100 units of
additional expenditure.
It is highly unlikely that Italy,
Greece and Ireland (the other main
beneficiaries from the fund) would
agree that we should get more than
Dr Banda’s ‘Eton’
From Dr Ian Michael
Sir, Michael Hornsby (feature, July
2) could have brought out more fully
the irony of Dr Banda’s academy if
he had made it clear that Malawi has
had its own university since 1965.
The university was founded on the
initiative of Dr Banda, who is its
Chancellor, at a time when it was the
policy of the Malawi Government to
of its members (it can never be all)
are prepared to contribute their
shares to preserve a freedom from
fear, let alone from want. In a
civilized state this ideal can become
a reality. Not where every man is for
foimaftlf
Your disciples have talked these
last few months vigorously and
resolutely of freedom and justice,
but with Httle sign that they
understand the terms. Decades ago
even a Forsyte had to recognize his
epoch as one which “had gilded
individual liberty so that if a man
had money he was free in law and in
fact, and if he had not money he was
free in law and not in fact”.
True freedom depends on respect
for others, not on fights with them to
gain the lion’s share, be it of a
private health company’s pr ofits or
the power to summon “my Hole
man” from Hailey Street or “my
little nurse” from “wherever she
lives’*.
As cadi of us knows, there are
ways to economize without cutting
our throats. Let the social services
in the position they would have been
in had the marriage not broken
down may have been impossible to
achieve, bat it kept before tee courts
the vital principle that there should
be no “offensive disparity” between
flic standard of living of husband
and wife before the divorce and
after.
It is now apparently proposed that
the “no offensive disparity” prin-
ciple should be replaced by the
doctrine of “the clean break” and
the “no meal ticket for life”
principle, so that the husband who
mad* his marriage vows for life is to
be allowed, or encouraged, to free
himself of all obligation to his wife
after the wife’s period of “rehabili-
tation” is ended.
This reduction of marriage to a
contract limited in time - and a very
short time where there are no
children - seems to me offensive in
itselfi for if anything is certain it is
the easier you make divorce the
more divorce you will get. Is that
really what Church and Parliament
want?
But even with the present
disparity doctrine what so often
happens is that, with half the
proceeds of the matrimonial house
sale, the wife still has not enough
money to buy a house, and since she
is not earning enough (and often
nothing at all) she cannot obtain a
mortgage and so is compelled to gp
into a council house or flat; the
husband on his earnings does obtain
a mortgage and buys a house or flat.
The wife, or ex-wife, and children
are therefore left with a depreciating
asset, the rent increasing every year,
whilst the husband, or ex-husband,
gets his feet once again on the
property ladder and has an apprecia-
ting asset. At once the gap opens
between the standard of living and
the environment of the children of
the first and second marriage.
The ex-husband is under pressure
from his second wife to do only the
minimum for his first family; the
court orders for the first family are
too low because the courts generally
pay too much attention to the new
domestic burdens the ex-husband
has quite voluntarily assumed on his
re-marriage, without thought as to
whether he can discharge his
obligations to his first family.
To be encouraged by Parliament
to think it is possible to “wipe the
slate clean”, to pretend that your
mistake never happened, or should
have no unpleasant long-term
consequences, is much in accord
with today’s fashionable flight from
personal responsibility and responsi-
bility for choice. Both husband and
second wife entered into their
marriage with their eyes open as to
the husband's prior obligations.
And what it years after the
divprce, the ex-husband much
improves his position in the world?
Under the present “no disparity”
principle this can be taken care of
But under the banner of “no meal
ticket for life", this cannot be dealt
with.
Yours faithfully,
LYALL WILKES.

the present 24 per cent and. indeed,
when Spain and Portugal join our
share, under the present method of
calculations, will drop to about 20
per cent and our share of financing
the cost will increase. We are not the
poorest of the poor in the Comm-
unity and will be even less so when
Spain and Portugal come in.
Enlarging the EEC budget, al-
though desirable in itself, is not the
answer to the UK problem. The
financing side has to be rethought so
as to bring the contributions of
member states more in line with
their capacity to pay. If there is noi
agreement to that, then either the
other member states have to agree to
continue the ad hoc rebates which
we have had for the post four years
or we regard our net contribution
(only about £10 per head of the UK
population) as a reasonable price to
pay for membership of the Comm-
unity.
Certainly the issue must not be
seen as one which could call into
question that membership.

Herstmonceux
sale effects
From the Astronomer Royal
Sir, The proposal ( The Times, July
8) that the Science and Engineering
Research Council should dismantle
the Royal Greenwich Observatory
by selling its present home.
Herstmonceux Castle, involves
more than the economics of cubic
feet of office space and the problems
of maintaining a fifteenth-century
castle.
Since Greenwich itself became
unusable, the observatory has
provided many services for British
universities. In addition to the
traditional services to time-keeping
and navigation, it now provides
vital observing facilities for univer-
sity astronomers in the form of
training telescopes at Herstmonceux
and major telescopes in Australia
and the Canary’ Islands.
In collaboration with Hull and
other universities it has also recently
completed a satellite Laser ranger,
which is expected to make major
contributions to interna tional geo-
detic programmes.
The report in .Vanin' (June 30)
that economic difficulties of the
council as a whole may lead to the
closure of the satellite laser ranger
within a year of its completion
suggests to me that the proposed
economies at Herstmonceux may
have been set down without due
consideration to their effects on the
many university research groups
that now depend on the observatory.
It would be very sad to see the
castle misused, or the library of the
old Royal Observatory dispersed: it
would be a disaster if the many ways
in which the observatory provides
for university research were to be
destroyed in the process.
Yours faithfully.

A taste of nothing
From Mrs Stella Herbert
Sir. The mass of facts and figures
produced by the supporters of rape
honey is indeed impressive. I had
not realised that I was betraying my
country by objecting to it until I read
Mr Sergeant's letter (July 4).
If. as he suggests, the lade of
distinct flavour makes rape honey
“ideal for children", how much
further this idea could be taken in
other areas of the food-processing
industry.
Great strides have already been
made in removing the flavour from,
for instance, bread, chicken, pork
and potatoes, but why not apply the
same principle to all foods objected
to by children? One thinks of
turnips, apricots, onions, coffee.
Christmas pudding, kippers - the list
is endless.
The success of such a scheme
would put an end to unpleasant
mealtime scenes and restore parent
power at a stroke.
Yours faithfully.

Feet on the ground
From Mr A. D. W. Pimm
Sir. ! was very interested to read Sir
Peter Masefield’s letter (July 9). I
should like to point out, however,
that Joseph Montgolfier ascended
from Lyon in a large balloon, “La
FI esse lies", on February 19, 1784,
accompanied by PiJatre de Rozier
and several other people. They
landed prematurely owing to a tear
in the fabric but arc said to have
attained a height of about I km.
Etienne did not accompany his

probably did not make any balloon

Dr Soares, in the nam e of
patriotism, has taken on a
daunting political challenge to
lead the Portuguese ont of a
crisis whose cure cannot fail to
have high social costs. Even his
ambition to run . for the
presidency in 1985, an open

lessen bis calculated political
gamble.

attempting to act as a bridge
between the following of his
own Socialist Party in the
country and that of the Social
Democrats.
But already his call for a
“social pact”, even a truce,
between the social partners has
not met with the hoped-for
response. With more than one
mifiion ' jobless or under-em-
ployed, 100,000 estimated
workers months behind with
their wage payments and
inadequate social assistance, the
crisis in Portugal is a wholly
different ' phenomenon from
that of northern Europe. The
IMF's recipes for a stabilization
programme, prior to stand-by
assistance, on which Dr Lopes
is embarking faute de mieux, is
not being tried in a faraway
Latin American or Asian nation
but in a country of Western
Europe still struggling with

T HE ECONOMY
The truth that
must be told
In his speech at the swearing-in
of his government last month
the Prime Minister, Dr Mario
Soares, solemnly announced
that the moment of truth had
corner It was no longer possible
for Portugal to obtain overseas
loans while the country con-
tinued to live beyond its means.
The economy has been para-
lysed for several months and
major public and private
companies, employing thou-
sands of workers, are on the
verge of collapse with billions of
escudos in debts. The state is
unable to continue the subsidies
that have kept these companies
functioning artificially.
For the past few years
Portugal has maintained a level
of domestic expenditure in
excess of its national production
and this excess has been
financed through external bor-
rowing. Portugal's failure to
adjust to the second 03 shock in
1979 meant that its domestic
expenditure in real terms during
the past three years has
increased by almost IS per cent
while the OECD countries*
percentage stands at about 1 per
cent. Money supply increased
by 35 per cent in 1980 and 1981
and by about 27 per cent last
year.
The average growth rate
during the past three years was
around 3.2 per cent In 1981 the
balance of payments deficit
represented almost 11.5 per
cent of gdp and last year the
figure had risen to 13.5 percent.
These levels of deficit could
only be maintained by borrow-
ing. The external debt has
almost doubled since its 1979'
figure of S7_27bn became
$ 1 3.46bn at the end of 1 982.
On coming to power the new
Socialist-Social Democrat co-
alition stated that many Portu-
guese were not yet aware of the
dimensions of the crisis. It is
difficult for them publicly to
blame the previous manag e-
ment for the present situation as
the Social Democrats were the
majority party in the last
government Until now the
effects of the crisis have mainly
been fell in hanking and
financial circles but with the
introduction of the present
short-term austerity measures
the whole country will share the
sacrifices that these measures
entail Public awareness came
quickly when, during its first
week of office, the Government
devalued the escudo by 12 per
cent and withdrew subsidies on
such essentials as bread, milk.
sugar, cereals and animal feed,
so increasing prices by more
than 20 per cent. Petrol pnees
were increased last week for the
second time this year.
The Government has p l edged
to work “until exhausted” to
cany out its economic recovery
and development plan for
national salvation. In the short
term, this means tackling the
balancc-of-payment5 deficit and
the foreign debt Long-overdue
measures taken by the last
caretaker government at the
beginning of the year, such as
raising interest rates and a
surcharge on imports, are
beginning to take effect and the
measures now being introduced
are designed to restore inter-
national banking confidence in
Portugal after seven months of
political uncertainty.
Short-term borrowing prob-
lems are tempered by the feci
that the debt servicing ratio is
around 27 per cent and by the
S11.5bn of foreign exchange
reserves (largely in gold) which
the state has demonstrated its
willingness to use.
The escudo devaluation was
necessary not only as a deter-
rent to imports but more
importantly to give the green
light to emigrants and business-
men with vast amounts of
foreign reserves outside the
country due to continuous
devaluation rumours. The
Government has warned the
population that wage increases
cannot keep pace with the cost-
of-living increases and that
everyone must make sacrifices
in order to put the economy on
its feet again.
In feet, the Government has
little choice in how it achieves
this and negotiations with the
Internationa Monetary Fund
started this month.
Also included in the 18-
month short-term programme
is a review of present labour
laws and a freeze on all new
state investment until August
31. An immediate opening-up
of certain sectors of public
enterprise to private invest-
ment, namely tanking, in-
surance, cement and fertilizers,
is planned. This is more a
pyschological step to promote
confidence and definite effects,
though probably far-reaching,
arc unlikely to be felt in the
short term. Then follows a
middle and long term pro-
gramme of development and
modernization, especially of the
state industries.

EX-TERRITORIES
On the road back to Africa
Portugal's foreign policy can be
said to be one of the few
political areas which remains
relatively unaffected by con-
tinuous changes of government.
Successive administrations may
introduce differences in style,
but basically the four corner-
stones of its policy remain the
same; to join the European
Community, fidelity .within
Nato, to look after Portuguese
emigrant communities' interests
and care for Third. World
countries - especially in Africa.
Traditionally. Portugal has
looked outwards in order to
solve its internal problems.
When Brazil gained indepen-
dence in 1822, Portugal devel-
oped its African colonies. But
when, following Portugal's 1974
Revolution, those colonies were
granted a hasty and poorly-
planned independence, not only
were they left to the mercy of
extreme left-wing elements, but
Portugal was left with internal
problems and no overseas
outlets with which to solve
them.
As the revolutionary dust has
begun to settle in Portuguese
.Africa, so Portugal has set about
reforming links with its five ex-
colonies of Angola, Mozambi-
que, Guinea-Bissau, Cape
Verde and S&o Tome e Principe
The degree of success achieved
is in no small part due to the
efforts of the President of
Portugal, General Ramalbo
Eanes, whose visits to Mozam-
bique in 1981 and to Angola in
1982, backed-up by similar
visits from the then prime
minister, Senhor Pinto Balse-
mao, set the seal on Portuguese
overtures of friendship.
Both Portuguese and African
economic difficulties have
necessarily restricted the level
of commercial cooperation, but
the Africans feel at home
seeking advice from people who
speak the same language and
know and understand their
everyday problems. Improved
relations have meant that
Portugal can be considered a
country worth consulting on
questions relating to the prob-
lems of southern Africa, al-
though the Portuguese foreign
ministry prefers to play down
this aspect, feeling that what-
ever success it may achieve in
an intermediary capacity is due
to the foci that it is not out to
impose any particular line of
thinking.
While commercial relations
with the three smaller ex-col o-
nies have continued more or
less ai the level of pre-indepen-
dence days, in Angola and
Mozambique the two years
following independence brought
trading almost to a standstill,
with signs of recuperation
becoming evident from 1978
onwards. Portugal now has
commercial agreements and
lines of credit with all five
countries. Several commercial
ventures are under way, some of
them joint-ventures with,
among others, the EEC, France
and Sweden as partners.
In Angola, Portugal is cooper-
ating in the modernization and
enlargement of the Cam bam be
Dam. Fifty per cent of the
planned $I50m contract is
scheduled to be paid in oil.
Contracts in the tourist sector
have already been signed and
Portuguese tourist authorities
are hopeful that they will play a
major part in the development
of tourism in Angola. Agricul-
ture, transport and commerce
are other areas benefiting from
Portuguese cooperation. A re-
cord was established in 1981 for
Portuguese trading in Angola
with a trade balance of 1 2,902m
escudos. However this was
halved in 1982 due to Angola's
internal difficulties.
In Mozambique, a contract is
now being finalized calling for a
Port uguese/Fren ch/Canad ia n
venture to recoup the 400 miles
of railway line from Nacala to
Malawi. Again Portuguese
cooperation is evident on
agriculture, building; commerce
and transport and on the
military side there are low-level
plans in such areas as the
provision of uniforms.
Portuguese/Mozambique
relations took some time to get j
off the ground and a real
improvement has only been
seen in the past three years. As a j
Portuguese diplomat put it
“The more peaceful these I
countries are, the more they can
turn their attention to bong]
independently nationalistic.
The more they feel threatened,
the more they resort to idealistic j
rhetoric and pull back under the
Marxist umbrella.”
With 600,000 Portuguese in
South Africa, Portugal also
enjoys good formal relations
with that country. Maintaining
good relations there is con-
sidered imperative if Portugal is
to assist in any way in southern
African negotiations.
After 500 years of being in <
Africa, many Portuguese feel so
close to their ex-colonies that
they welcome a chance to work
there again,- not just for
commercial reasons for they are
aware of Portugal's financial
limitations, buz also because
they still desire to be part of
African development

This year Portugal will import
over half of its food; 20 years
ago it was selfsufficicnt and:
agricultural exports then;
covered 100 per cent of
agricultural imports. Today
exports cover only 27 per cent
There are many, reasons for
: tt£s, /Despite Portugal's green
"and pleasant look, only 27 per
<xsdt of its land is good for
fenning. In addition, it safaris
from backward costs, emi-
gration and nearly a decade of
unstable governments with
co nfli c ting agricultural policies.
The agricultural growth rate has
been negative since 1 970.
When domestic dcnumfl rose
sharply because of large wage
increases after the 1974 Revol-
ution, a stage of emig rant
remittances and an increase in
the consumer market by a
million refugees from Portugal's
former African territories, the
country’s stagnating agriculture
was unable to meet the demand.
It cannot, either, meet the
demands which will be put on it
if Portugal enters the European
Economic Community. The
new Socialist-led Gove rnment
is determined to enter in spite
of the feet that the country's
agricultural sector is among the
least productive in Europe. The
Government has an ambitious
programme for transforming
the medieval s t r uc ture of
agriculture. It promises to
support “viable agricultural
enterprises” - preferably large,
privately owned ones - and
tanners’ associations. Among a
host of other things, the
prog ram me promises to create
land hanks for formers, revise
the rural rent law, bring prices ;

install a system of collecting; i

encouraged to form cooperat-

sponsored by , Britain, the
United States, Norway, and
Holland to prepare agricultural
technicians, now has 600
students. Production in the
north of the country has slightly
improved through the use of
better seeds, hybrid com,
fertilizers and limestone to
neutralize add soil..
Although young people still
tend to leave the fend, young
formers are tentatively return-

Since 1976, successive Social-
ist and Conservative govern-
ments have been bent on
wresting control from the
Communists and breaking up
the collectives. Farms were

others were distributed or
auctioned off Credit was cut off

362 collectives remain, with
499.000 hectares and 22,000
workers. The Communists still
control the form workers’ unions
and the local governments in
tiie Alentejo, but all is not well
down on the collective form;
workers are leaving to work on
private forms or going to the
’cities.
Other problems hinder agri-
culture in general. More than 10
per cent of formers are over 65.
In spite of emigration, 28 per
cent of the total workforce is
engaged in agriculture - a very
high figure compared to the
Community’s.

The nationalized sector had
suffered from piecemeal man-
agement and over-staffing since
the nationalization programme
after the 1974 Revolution. The
consequences of this policy
have brought state industries
such as Air Portugal and the
shipping firms of Usoave and
Setenave to tiie verge of
bankruptcy. Lisnave has .suf-
fered a series of communist-
backed strikes which have all
but crippled the company and
resulted in the non-payment of
workers’ salaries. The civil
construction industry, too, has
declared itself on the edge of
collapse and blamed among
others the thriving clandestine
building developers in Portugal.
Corruption and moonlighting
are pan of everyday life. It is
estimated that the parallel
economy accounts for about 20
per cent of domestic pro-
duction, with contraband being
one of the foremost activities.
Absenteeism is another blight
on productivity and one which
the Government declares itself
determined to combat.
The future for Portuguese
industry lies in its ability to
adapt to the competitiveness of
European integration. Over the
last 18 months some industries,
such as the important textile
sector, have begun to realize the
economic consequences of join-
ing the EEC and first steps are
bong taken to modernize and
streamline production.
One of the only rays of
sunlight in an otherwise gloomy
panorama is the pyrites explo-
ration taking place in the
Alentejo region by the firm of
Somincor.

interest held by a Portuguese
state company, and 24.5 per

after the discovery of high grade
copper ore. Extraction from the
Neves-Cbrvo mine should
begin in 1986. with a projected
yearly average of a million
tonnes of copper ore.
It is. as yet, undear whether
the smelting plant planned at
the Sines industrial complex
will be completed in time to
treat the first copper concen-
trates. but if not, they will be
exported for smelting. Lloyds
Bank International is handling
the international fianring of this
important $200m project. Pre-
sent domestic imported copper
consumption will account for
only a third of the mine's final
output Other companies, in-
cluding British ones, are pros-
pecting in the area, but so for
with no definite results. .

PORTUGAL AND
THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
PORTUGAL has always been an active partner in European economic integration. She was a founding member of
EFT A; with the first enlargement of the Community and owing to the importance of the British market to
Portuguese external trade, Portugal, as well as the other nonappUcant EFT A countries, concluded on 22 July
1972 a bilateral Free Trade Agreement with the EEC. The purpose of these agreements was the esta blishm ent of a
free trade area for manufactured products, for the period 1973/77, thus preventing liberalization from
regressing.
The setting up of a democratic system in Portugal in 1974 was accompanied by the tig htenin g of the existing
links with the EEC, our major trade partner (see Table). Besides this, the Co m munity decided to grant aid to
Portugal in the form of:
- an emergency exceptional financial aid (decided on 10 October 1975), the EEB having made available to
Portugal credits to the amount of ECU 150 million, with subsidized interest, for the fi n ancing of infrastructure
and agricultural projects in 1976 and 1977;
- an Additional Protocol to the Free Trade Agreement of 1972 and a Financial Protocol both signed in Brussels in
September 1976. In the Additional Protocol, the Community, in order to facilitate Portuguese exports, made
additional tariff concessions in the industrial and agricultural fields, and Portugal was authorized to reintroduce
certain customs duties so as to further protect her most vulnerable industries. The Financial Protocol included an
ECU 200 million aid in the form of EIB loans, scheduled over a period of five years (150 million at subsidized
interest) to finance investment projects intended to increase industrial productivity and improve infrastructures.
As the Paris and Rome Treaties expressly provide that the other European States which share the ideals of EEC
member-countries may accede to it, Portugal, on March 22, 1977, submitted its request for full membership in tbe
EEC, a political choice which reflected the concern for consolidation of the Portuguese democracy. The several
institutions of the Community issued their favourable opinion to our accession and decided to grant aid in support
of the economic restr u c tu r in g of Portugal through;

- a Supplementary Protocol to the Free Trade Agreement (signed on 19 December 1979) which com templates
measures to protect the Portuguese industry and an easier access to the EEC of some domestic products:
- the accelerated implementation of the Financial Protocol (decided on 15 January 1980) with a two-year
reduction in the period initially established for the utilization of the overall amounts;
- a pre-accession aid to support the country’s integration (signed on Decmuber 13. 1980) to the amount of ECU

The negotiatif^'lbr Portugal’s accession to the EEC formally started on 17 October 1978. In the first
ministerial meeting, it was agreed that the negotiations would continue on the basis of the acceptance by Portugal
of the "acquis communaataire ’ ’ and consequently that the adjustment problems on both sides would be solved by
transitional measures.
Tbe negotiations began to bear the desired results in 1982, a preliminary consensus having been reached on 22
February on G Chapters: Capital Movements, Euratom, Transports, Economic and Financial Matters and
Regional Policy. On 21 June agreement was reached on three major issues included in the 2nd package, with the
definition of the transitional periods for yAT, the Foreign Direct Investment system, and tariff dismantling in the
industrial sector. In September, five major files were almost entirely closed - Customs Union, ECSC, External
Relations, Tax Provisions and Right of Establishment - and the negotiations advanced to the third stage. Thus,
the remaining issues are institutional and legislative matters and the chapters on Social Affairs, Budget Affairs,
Agriculture and Fisheries, the last two directly connected with the process of internal reform which the Ten have
been discussing for quite a long while: as far as Agriculture, agreement among the Ten has still to be reached.
The setting up of a concrete ti m ing for Portugal's integration in the EEC would be of major importance, even if
a few transitional periods were considered. As a matter of fact, a precise time-table for accession would reinforce
general confidence and stability, thus providing an additional stimulus to Portuguese businessmen In their efforts
towards modernization. Under these circumstances, it is dear that a minimum consensus among the Ten on the
future organization of tbe Community Budget and of CAP is of crucial Importance for PortugaL
The largest contribution of Portugal’s accession to tbe EEC shall be the strengthening of Its role worldwide, due
to Portugal’s policy of openness to foreign countries and to its historical relations with countries in Africa, Latin
America and the Far East.
The major consequences for Portugal of its full membership in the Common Market are, on the one W* 1 . the
defence against protectionism, which in recent years has been adversely affecting national exports, and, on the
other hand, the financial aid that the EEC may grant and which wiD become the catalyst for the modernization of
productive structures. Of course this last aspect heavily depends upon the existence of viable projects, a
prerequisite to take full advantage of Community funds; Portuguese authorities are well aware of the efforts to be
made on this matter.
However, substantial changes are required for the accession to have the positive results we are aiming at; these
changes should be made as soon as possible- That Is an area in which foreign investment will bave an unportant
role to play. The integration of Portugal in the most free trade area of the world will a hw be aa incentive for
foreigners to invest in PortugaL a country with skilled workers and where labour costs are comparatively
favourable.

Mr Ernest Potter, finance
director, said he was not
surprised that analysis had
failed to come anywhere near
the Cable's profit performance.
The highly complex nature of
the business made n extremely
unlikely that they would ever be
able to predict the outcome
accurately.
Mr Eric Sharp, chairman, did
sound one note of warning:
“The profits lor the current year
Sharp: sounded one note of
warning on present year’s
■ figures
will not be significantly differ-
ent from those reported."
The fall in the value of the
pound played a significant pan
in the overall figures. Had
profits been translated into
sterling al last year's higher
exchange rate, pretax profits
would have been £i lm lower.
But Mr Sharp did dismiss
City claims that much of this
year's profit derived from gains
made on the companyt’s £ !00m
holding.
He said that far too much
importance had been placed on
the cash holdings. That amount
had not grown over the year
and much more was earned on
trade than w/as earned by
Interest payments. “And any-
way,” said Mr Potter, “the City
is mistaken in its belief that that
money was all on deposit. Much
of it had been used in the
company's leasing agreements
and working capital require-
ments."
The increase in profits. Mr
Potter added, was 3 direct result
of the reorganization of the last
two years which placed greater
profit responsibility on area
managers.
Mr Sharp was emphatic that
the talks between the unofficial
cabinet of Hongkong and the
British Prime Minister would
not exercise an influence
overthe company's increasing
exposure to Far East trade.
The People's Republic of
China already owned SI per
cent of the new company which
would be handling the com-
munications of the major oil
companies exploring in Chinese
waters.
Mr Sharp added that the
annual report, to be issued on
April 9. 1984. would deal with
several points not covered in
this statement.
C&W shares jumped 27p to
424p a share, which means the
Government could raise £575m
if it chose to sell its holding.

The Bank of England took
advantage of another stable day
in the gilts market to announce
two tranches of existing
Government stock. The tranch-
es. £300m of lO’/jper cent
Exchequer 1 997 and £200m of
ll'^per cent Treasury 2001-
2004 will be available from
tomorrow but will not be
operated as a stocks.
The City has been waiting
nervously for a resumption ol
gilt sales in the belief that the
Government _ has fallen well
behind in its funding pro-
gramme. Inc Tuesday, the
remains of the 2‘^per cent
index-linked convertible 1999
were sold. out after the Govern-
ment broker cut the price, but
dealers reported heavy switch-
ing out of other stocks.
However there was some
optimism yesterday that the two
latest traches would break the
logjam and would be well
received.
For the first time since'
November 1981, the Govern-
ment is making a conventional ;
issue manning beyond 2000,
and this is expected to appeal to
long-term funds,
“The Government has clearly
recognized that there is an
appetite for longer dated stock
and done a tiny bit to fulfil it,"
one dealer said yesterday.
After Tuesday's rally, the gilts
market recovered earlier small
losses yesterday and in quiet
trading ended . the day with
gains of about £■% at the long-
end of the market and short-
dated stocks unchanged or
marginally easier.
By making the new tranches
available from tomorrow the
authorities will be hoping to
soak up funds from the non-
bank private sector before the
end of the banking month next
Wednesday. This would help to
take some of the steam out of
money supply growth which has
been running well above
government targets.
For some time the Govern-
ment has been steering dear of
the long end of the bond market
in an attempt to encourage the
corporate sector to go bade into
the fixed interest debenture
market and because it did not
want to issue high-yielding,
long-dated stock when inflation
was expected to stay low.
However, the City still
believes that the Government
may be forced to make further
issues of long-dated slock if it is
to satisfy its funding needs.

said that, their payment with, the

loan was in accordance with an
agreement between Argentina

Brazil
confident of
extension
Brasilia (AP-Dow Jones) -
The Brazilian Government's
three top economic leaders met
yesterday with bankers form the
International Monetary Fond to
iron oat differences and come up
with a compromise to release a
$411m loan.
The meetings took on extra
weight this week when the Bank
for International Settlements
said it would not extend Brazil's
Friday deadline in repay $4G0m.
The government has refused
to comment on its plans for
repayment or elaborate on the
substance of the talks.
The IMF money, which was
due at the end of May, was
postponed because of Brazil's
failure to follow the agreed
economic outline. Inflation, now
running at about 127 per emit, is
almost 40 points higher thaw
promised. Public sector overs-
pending was Si bn for the first
quarter of this year.
The BIS loan was extended
until the end of Jnne after the
IMF delayed the $4 11 m loan. Xt
again gave Brazil another 15
days. But the BIS said on
Monday that it would not
extend its repayment time.
Dispite Dr Fritz Leutwiler,
president of the BIS, saying that
Brazil would not get another
extention. Senhor Ername Gal-
veas, Brazil's finance minster,
said yesterday in Caracas that
he was expecting a favorable
decision from the BIS- He said
he was waiting for the BIS
board to meet - bat it does not
meet anti! September.
And somces dose to the BIS
said it was highly unlikely that
Dr Lentwfler, would have taken
hardline position against
Brizfl without the foil assent of
his board.
Monetary sources noted,
however, that the central bank-
ers involved in making high-le-
vel BiS derisions such as an
extension of a loan to Brazil, are
in regular contact with each
other and that a decision conld
probably be reached quickly
outside the confines of the
regular board meeting.
If Brazil does not come np
with the money, there would not
be a “moratorium” or “default”.
A moratorium would have to be
declared by Brazfl, and default
is an action by the lender.
Brazfl has been hit by strikes
m protest against government
measures and by severe rain
storms in the South that
threaten billions of dollars in
losses to crops. The strikes were
sparked by state-run oil refinery
workers who said that the
Government's plans to cat
public sector spending would
lead to job lay-offs.
The plans call for salary cuts
and reductions of benefits, but
does not apply to any of the
thousands of -workers employed
by the Government. The work-
ers reasoned that the companies
would fire veterans and employ
r workers. The average
worker earns less than $150 a
month.
In recant months, the Govern-
ment has also raised some
taxes, lifted the price of petrol
45 per cent and devalued the
country’s currency by 23 per
cent to encourage exports.
The aumbry has a foreign
debt estimated at $90bn.
International Signal
in new rights issue
By Philip Robinson
International Signal & Con-
trol Group, the American-based
electronics weapons company,
yesterday asked London inves-
tors for more cash. It is the
group's second big fund-raising
exercise in less than a year.
Since International Signal
came to the London market last
October, it has raised £76.25m.
from non-American investors.
Americans are barred from
owning the shares.
When the group came to
market, it raised £30m via an
offer for sale. Now it is raising
£43.5m. partly to buy a US-
based defence company and
partly to pay off four directors
and two shareholders who took
on $20m worth of debt before
International Signal went
public.
The company is first giving
shareholders one free share for
one already owned and then
offering 34.6 million new shares
for sale by tender to the public
at a minimum tender price of
125p. Of those shares. 10
milli on are being bought from
the directors and shareholders
who took on past debt.
The remaining shares will be
sold to finance the £28.4m
purchase of the Marquardt
Company, a California-based
weapons group, whose largest
customer is the US Defence
Department
Marquardt had sales of
$6S.8m (£43m) for the year to
the end of last April on which it
made pretax profits of 55.3m
(£3.4m).
Its acquisition will mean that
the geographical sales of Inter-
national Signal will be balanced
about 50/50 between the US
and the rest of the world.
International Signal came to
London for its share quote
rather than New York because
the American disclosure re-
quirements would demand it
names its customers in the
Middle East, Africa and South
America.
Manquardt is at present a
subsidiary of CCI, an Oklaho-
ma-based trucking company.
When the deal goes through. Mr
Ken Woodgrift, Marquardt's
president and chief executive
officer, will sign a five-year
contract with Marquardt.
- International Signal is not
making a profit forecast as an
expression of confidence in
connexion with the tender offer,
but says that orders are at
record levels and profits and
dividend will be higher his year.
For the year to the end of
March, 1963, pretax profits
were 515m, about Sim above
those forecast at the time of the
first offer for sale. The figure
compares with a 55.3m profit
for 1982.
City - Editors Comment-.
Amex steps into
the supermarket
American Express's $lbn
takeover on Tuesday of the
assets of Alleghany Corpor-
ation is the latest and
largest of a series of
purchases the grotrp has
made on its way to becom-
ing one of the leaders of the
financial services industry.
Only six months ago,
Amex spent S550m baying
the non-US part of Trade
Development Bank and in
1981 it bought the second
biggest New York broker-
age house, Shearson, Loeb,
Rhoades, for S930m.
Investors Diversified
Services, Alleghany's main
asset, gives Amex a big
foothold in mutual funds in
the US, where IDS has
more than $15bn of assets
owned and under manage-
ment, and also makes it
much bigger in life assur-
ance business.
However, the key to the
deal is IDS'* 4, 100-strong
sales force. Whereas the
last two big acquisitions
made by Amex were de-
signed to gain a foothold in
the top end of the market -
the high net worth individ-
uals with money to Invest -
IBS’s door-to-door sales
force, gives Amex direct
access to the mass middle-
market ‘ in the US. This,
Amex reckons, means 33
million households where
people earn between
$35,000 to $60,000.
The interesting point
here, though, is that there
is no evidence that people
in this section of the market
want the sophisticated
financial services which
American Express claim to
offer.
What they may want,
and what they may be
persuaded to buy by the
itinerant sales force is more
likely to be the typical
middling quality insurance
and savings programmes.
But these, though potential-
ly profitable, are neverthe-
less a far cry from the jet-
setting world of the Trade
Development Bank. The
question then is whether
the group really can service
such a diverse range of
easterners from the world's
richest to the average
Middle West white collar.
One suspects that they;
cannot, that Amex has beeahf
seduced by all the talk of
Financial supermarkets mrf
one stop shopping for-
financial services, and has
lost sight of the difficulties,
inherent in being all ihiiy
to all investors.
Castle in
the air
It is an adage that when a
company moves to a new
head office it is time to se&
the shares - but seldom has
it proved more relevant
than in the case of Hotg-
kong and Shanghai Bank-
ing Corporation.
Yesterday one of its
executives confirmed what
the rumour mill had been
saying for some weeks -
that the new head office
building at present under
construction in the cotooy H
running massively over
budget, ami will cost at
least HK$5bn (£450m) to
complete.
The true figure conld be
even higher because there
are 5 till several outstanding
claims to be resolved, with
the top range of estimates
coming oat at more (has
£700m. Even if the lower
figure is closer to the mark,
the bank will have spent
almost as much on Its h«rad
office as h offered for the
Royal Bank of Scotland,
and about as much as it
paid for Marine Midland,
one of the larger banks in
New York.
If the board is embar-
rassed about this profiiiaie
use of its shareholders'
money, it is not admitting
so In public. So far the cae
serious economy to have
been made in cnttfng the:
cost of the structure ap-
pears to be in dispensing
with the helicopter pad - on
the not unreasonable
grounds that there is no-
where in Hongkong to go '
by helicopter.
That is probably a shut -
but it is hardly enough to
restore shareholders' confi-
dence that the bulldiag
constitutes the best possible
use for their money.

based consumer credit group, is
asking shareholders the approve
a capital reorganization which
will allow it to waive arrears ofl
dividends payable to holders oft
its preferred ordinary shares of
£855.203. The directors say the
company’s p r o gress is being
handicapped by these contin-

loans by directors to the

arrears would seriously weaken
the group.

Magnet chief predicts upturn
Demand for building prod-

Oxford, chairman of Magnet

group.
Since the beginning of May,

per cent, Mr Oxford said.
"Things are considerably better
than a year ago. We have spent
a lot of money getting ourselves
ready to cope with such a sharp
upturn and we may well now be
on the threshold of such a
scene."
Mr Oxford was reporting

“The whole atmosphere is

business in Hongkong are
investing.”
Significantly, textiles shares
have been performing well - in
anticipation of increased orders
from an improving world
economy. In the old boom days,
second-line property companies
would have been next to shift
upwards. “And the better ones,
those, not riddled with debt,

London institutions have
been investing in safe stocks:
manufacturers and utilities. But
the market has been fuelled
more recently by American
funds. The most
sign of all is the renewed

The absence of a sig nifican t

couple of months could see the
market losing 100 points. “If we

Mr Toby Heale, partner in

South-East Asia specialist.
But he added the warning:
“When the market goes, it will
go with a whoosh. One corpor-
ate deal will break the log-jam,
and once the money-go-round
starts, the whole sector win take
off."
“A lot hangs on industrial
recovery,” said Mr Heale, “and
here Hongkong is very strong.
Firms have orders in hand
through to April, 1984 - just
like Jaguar in the UK.”
Although political pundits
have bear predicting that a
definitive statement of Hong-
kong’s future might be 18
months or two years off, most
Stock market specialists are now
confident that it will be made
before the middle of next year.

Bulmer figures flatten sunny profits predictions
H. P. Bulmer Holdings
Year to 29.4.83
Pretax profit £1 3.32m (£7.51 m}
Stated earnings 1 9.64p (li.60p)
Turnover £89S8m (£71. 32m)
Net final dividend 2.24p making
4.2p(Z52p)
Share price 298p down 25p Yield
2%
Given the way in which the
hoi weather or the last two
weeks has boosted the share
price of H P Bulmer. the cider
maker, it was hardly surprising
that the release of the com-
pany's yearly results yesterday
caused disappointment.
Market forecasts of the
results had risen with the
temperature and by yesterday
morning one or two wild souls
were predicting that profits
would more than double. They
rose by only 77 per cent at the
pretax level and the directors
realistically warn shareholders
that although they wih be higher
again in the current year, they
cannot possibly match that rate
ofgrowih again.
The shares duly fell 25p to
29Sp' where even after the 67
per cent hike in dividends last
year, the yield is still a
demanding 2 per cent.
Cider has been one of the few
alcoholic drinks to. have shown
any sales growth in the last two
years. In calender 1982, the
cider market of which Bulmer
has more than half rose by a
fifth. The growth -slowed con-
siderably during the first four
months of this year and the
market flattened out entirely
during May and most of June.
The hoi weather has brought
the drinkers flooding back to
the pumps and trading con-
ditions are more buoyant than
ever. Such sales levels cannot
possibly persist but there is no
reason for believing - as some
do - that cider has gone .cx-
growih.
The industry argues that
there is still considerable scope
left for penetrating the licensed
trade.
But even if cider produces a
volume -growth of say 10 per
cent this year, which would be
good going, the four-point
margin increases to 20 per cent
that Bulmer saw in 1982-83,
will plainly be absent this year.
Last March, the group in-
creased prices by 6 per cent
taking to 13 per cent tbc
increase that fell into the
company's last financial year.
At the same time it promised
that prices would be held for the
next 1 2 months, so it would be
surprising if profits this year
increase by much more than the
rise in sales.
But a return to the black by
overseas interests and a better
contribution from other drink
operations are likely and the
company's shares do not look
unduly high given that the state
of the balance sheet has
improved during the period of
very rapid expansion.

-moving in the right direction
and analysis are looking next
time for pretax profits possibly
reaching £1 m with the dividend
staying at its present severely
reduced level.
A group like this, rich in
assets, is still an obvious
takeover target. There have
been reports of a number of
retail groups looking them over
in the past few months. But with
things as they are in wines and
spirits a sell-off by Lennons of
this side of its business, much
speculated about in Che past,
seems now to be unlikely.
Metal prices
Lennons Group, the Mersey-
side-based food and drinks
retailer, is another victim of the
tough times and wafer-thin
margins in the wine and spirits
trade, of which the latest
reminder was the collapse into
receivership of the Augustus
■Barnett chain.
Lennons gets a third of its
turnover from wines and spirits
sales and its loss in this business
- the first ever amounted to
£381,000 compared with a
£442,000 profit in the previous
year. By contrast food did
better and the operating profit
oaly marginally at £924,000
compared with £ 1.04m the
previous year.
Lennons which dosed a
couple of unprofitable super-
markets in rationalization
moves, has also closed half a
dozen branches in the drinks
sector.
This and an apparently
successful experiment with later
opening hours at the off-licences
has helped produce a second-
half improvement with the
drinks operation loss being kept
to £74.000.
There was a better- than -
expected recovery in f««d
retailing in the second half, with
a large new-style supermarket at
Mold. Clwyd, opening in the
autumn as part of Lennons 1
switch to more modern stores.
This was reflected in the group's
second-half performance which
produced a profit of £677.282
compared with £266,143 in the
previous second half.
The group is showing signs of
There are as many ways of
looking at metal prices as
skinning a cat It is a reasonable
supposition that the upward
trend evident in most cases
from the beginning of the year
will continue, albeit gently on
average. But the extent of the
recovery is distorted by cur-
rency fluctuations.
A chan prepared by Shear-
son/American Express for its
mid-year market review makes
the point clearly. If prices are
translated into dollars at pre-
vailia* rates and rebased on an
index of 100 at the end of 1978.
no metal is within respectable
distance of the peaks attained in
1979/80.
To rake the extremes of
performance, at- the -end of May
aluminium, the strongest mar-
ket. stood at 140 compared with
160 in 1980; over the same
period lead, the worst per-
former. has tumbled from 1S3
to 65.
The optimists, whose number
grows daily on the metal
markets, will doubtless contend,
that this proves how big a bull
phase is ahead. That may be so.
But the burden of the
argument is that indexing in
dollars irons out the distortions '
caused by currency fluctuations.
Take aluminium again: its price
rise this year on the London
Metal Exchange has been 60 per
cent in sterling, but only 50 per'
cent in dollars.
The conventional solution
has been to hedge metals, the
raison d'etre of terminal mar-
kets. But more and more, there
is a need to hedge currencies
Currency futures markets,
such as the London Inter-
national Financial Futures
Exchange; should benefit from
the trend. Metal market users
will need more services (ban. a
single market can provide.

■LONDON - •
13th July 1983
, The Government is urgently
reviewing its energy -strategy for
Northern. Ireland whCrc high
power costs are hampering the
province’s industrial regen cr-
. a lion. Nui'ly half the industrial
and domestic energy needs of
the province are currently being
met by costly oil-based power
plants.
The roots of the. problem
stretch back to the 1950s when
the Government decided to
build power stations, fuelled by
oil. then offered at knockdown
prices. A five-fold increase hi oil
Prices in 1973/74. followed by a
.further doubting of prices in
1978, means that the province
now has problems right across
the field.
_ Without government sub'
sidies totalling £80m each year
electricity tariffs in Northern
Ireland would be at least ono-
third. higher than in the rest of
the United Kingdom. Even with
the subsidies prices, are at the
highest levels prevailing in the
rest of the United Kingdom,
which has' obvious reper-
cussions on local industry.
Mr Adam Butler, Minister of
State for Northern Ireland with
responsibOhy for co-ordinating
energy strategy, finds himself at
the centre of a fierce debate on
this difficult problem.
In an effort to reach a
decision which best serves the
longer term needs of the
province. Mr Butier has en-
dorsed the publication today of
a 160-page discussion paper
entitled Northern Ireland' En-
ergy Issues. The paper has been
prepared by the Department of
Economic Development in
Belfast in an attempt to weigh
tile benefits of various alterna-
tives.
No conclusions are offered
on the likely outcome of
government deliberations, al-
though an early derision is
promised on the longstanding,
negotiations with the Irish
Government in Dublin on the
supply of natural gas to the
North by pipeline from Kinsale.
Mr Butler has arranged a
meeting with the Dublin
Government two weeks from
now to discuss the project
which provides a potential
solution for one part of the
wider energy problem in the
North.
The substitution of gas
supplied from naphtha oil-
based feedstock with natural gas
from Kinsale theoretically of-
fers savings of up to 20 per cent
jn gas prices. Bnt the project has ’
already been rejected once by
the United Kingdom Govern-
ment and is fraught with both
political and economic danger
associated with future changes
in Irish pricing policy. -
The success of the project
also largely depends on there
being a significant increase in
the amount of gas demand in
Northern Ireland, where it

currently accounts for only 3
per cent of total energy con-
sumption.
• For this reason much of the
pressure on Mr Butler has come
from rival groups in the United
Kingdom which are vying for a
share of the Northern Ireland
energy market. What started as-
gentle lobbying from . the
National Coal Board and a
United Kingdom puJicfy quoted
open-cast mining company.
Burnell & Hallamsbire Hold-
ings. is last turning into full-
scale battle over the type of fuel
which will offer the best value
for money. . .
Both sides are adamant that
the Government has to deride
quickly to convert the
province's predominently oil-
fired electricity generating
power stations to a new fuel.
The NCB insist that the
cheapest solution is to convert
the Kilroot oil-fired power
station near Belfast to coal. The
cost of converting the Kilroot
boilers to coal would be about
£70m, according to Mr Mal-
colm Edwards, the coal board
director-general of marketing.
Coal could then be supplied
direct to the power station from
a newly worked Scottish pit in
Ayrshire at about £45 a tonne,
40 per cent of the price of the
equivalent amount of oiL The
project would create 1,000 jobs
in Scotland and . Northern
Ireland, mainly in shipping and
haulage activities, while provid-
ing good quality coal at bargain
basement prices.
However, the Government is
also aware of the potential
offered by the discovery of at
least. 100 million tonnes of
proven reserves oflignitc on the
edge of Loch Neagh, about 14
miles from Belfast The Burnett
board has argued that there
could be as much as 450 million
tonnes of lignite in the area,
which would be enough to make
the province self-sufficient in
energy until weD into the next
century. But the sceptics argue
that most of the additional
reserves are actually under the
Loch which would make mining
either impossible, or unecon-
omic.
They also suggest that lignite
is such a poor quality substitute
for steam coal, with less than
half the calorific value, that
huge quantities need to be
burned to achieve the same
results.
Despite the problems the.
Burnett move to establish a
£10m pilot plant to test the
project viability rerieves a fillip _
today with the publication of
the conclusions of a study
conducted by Coopers & Lyb-
nmd. The Coopers study argues
that information gained 'from
the pilot development would be
of considerable benefit to the
pfenning and design of eventual
lignite power generation pro-
jects.
If a decision were subse-
quently taken to go ahead with
the project to build a lignite-
fired power plant then a new
station on the Loch Neagh she
would offer the greatest econ-
omic benefit. It would also be
cheaper than the conversion of
an existing power plant, besides
offering considerable saving
when compared to the use of
coal according to Coopers.
The Department of Econ-
omic Development stresses that
the various options being
considered are not necessarily
direct alternatives. Thus a
. derision on the Kinsale pipeline
could be taken quite indepen-
dently of the decisions on
'"lignite and coaL There is also a
strong possibility that a final
decision on using lignite will be
delayed until the 1990s by
which time the Government
wiu have had time to evaluate a
small-scale pilot project.
In the meantime, Mr Ed-
wards and his colleagues at the
NCB are keen to stress the
importance of making an
immediate decision on the
conversion of the Kilroot plant.
Mr Edwards estimates that the
conversion could be completed
within three years of the
decision being taken. In the
present 'climate there would be
little danger of power shortages
if Kilroot were pulled out of
service within this time.
But any delay in decision
making process increases' the
risk of power • shortages if

levels.
The creation of a nearby
market for 1 million tonnes ot
coal each year would also do
much to -ease the NCB's
strained finances, with the
obvious attractions to minis-
ters.

The paper also points to the
Obvious attractions of pushing
as much of the burden - of
financing as possible on to the
private sector. In the current
political climate that makes
Burnett’s scheme a firm front
runner, despite the uncertain
.nature of the company’s plans.
The NCB, on the other hand,
is unlikely to let such an
important market slip away
easily. The debate, therefore, is
certain to rage for months to
come.

Confusions round
an obsession
Of all the orthodoxies now
afflicting financial markets,
perhaps the most obsessive is
** crowding-out”. It is widely
held, particularly on Wall
Street, that government bor-
rowing, certainly at present
levels, reduces the availability
Of capital for other investment,
forces up interest rates, and
therefore inhibits economic
r ecovery.
Bnt like all obsessions,
crowding-out blinds the ob-
sessed to much of what is really
• going on. Nobody would deny
that, in extremis, the behaviour
of private savings could be badly-
distorted by government fund-
ing requirements.
Nevertheless, the empirical
evidence for crowd ing-ont in
present circumstances is incon-
clusive. and different ways of
funding government reduce the
risk farther. It is even possible to
argue without undue perversity
that fiscal stimulation from
government borrowing leads to
“crowding in."
One Is entitled to be
suspicious about crowding out
beams* its intellectual origins
are less than impeccable and
folly support well-worn
maxims a boot defunct econ-
omists. The belief that a
budget deficit would drain a
finite pool of national savings'
was the British Treasury
orthodoxy of the 1930s which
so exercised Lord Keynes.
How the discredited orthodoxy ;
of a discredited period could
once again become respectable
is an intriguing question.
Part of the answer Is that
the latter day partisans’ of
crowding ont confuse the real '
economic effects of govern-
ment deficits and spending
with their inherent dislike of
“big government'". Allied to
ibis political aspect of pnnk
monetarism Is the a priori
assumption that the private
sector is more efficient. The
conviction that budget .deficits
cause inflation, aid the un-
derstandable concern that
inflation may not be defeated,
add to the confusion. ■
A rhetorical riposte to this
tangle of confusions and
prejudices might be: why
should a given amonnt of
private borrowing be less
inflationary than the same
amount of public borrowing if
their impact on aggregate
demand is identical? If there is
no difference, presumably
private funding can lead
equally to crowding ont.
Bnt stripped of the con-
fusions, the argument revolves.
as Keynes argued, around the
behaviour of private investors.
This, it most be said, is a
blood-stained battleground
The effect of fiscal policy on
private savings and the re-
sponse of investors are murky
areas. The complexity is
illustrated b> the recent
behaviour of private savers. In
Britain, the savings ratio
actually rose while budget
deficits w ere at their height in
the late 1970s: since tben they
bare fallen, despite lower
deficits.
Nevertheless, a recent pap-
er* by two Organization for
Economic Cooperation and
Development economists con-
cludes that where government
debt is funded by bond issues
“the demand for credit may be
sufficiently interest sensitive,
and many money holders
sufficiently responsive to inter-
est changes, for budget deficits
to be financed without crowd-
ing out a substantial amount of
private capital spending".
Indeed, (he paper argues
that instead ''crowding in'*
conld be the result. If fiscal
policy increases the wealth of
private money holders by
stimulating the economy gen-
erally the consequences could
be. with a given money stock,
higher private demand for
financial assets such as com-
pany debt and equity.
In practice, however, inves-
tors do nor always respond
with the. speed or rationality
that would produce such a
" result. Some might prefer, for
instance, to hold equities even
thongh the yield is lower than
on government bonds. It is this
mismatching which can result
in a measure of crowding out
and prompts the OECD
authors to say: '‘This evidence
suggests that there is only a
partial crowding out in the
short term.**
One solution to the problem
is for’ governments to use
different funding methods. At
the moment Issuing medium-
To- long-dated bonds does not
always match the Investors'
preference, engendered by
inflationary experience and
expectations, for short-term
assets. At this stage in the
recovery' it might be more
appropriate for governments
even to borrow- from banks.

The Annual General Meeting of RAS-
Riunionc Adriatic* di Sicurta was held in
Milan on 29rh June 1983 and adopted as
Ordinary Business the Company's
Accounts for die year ended 31st
December 1982. reflecting a net profit of
Lit. 11.8 bn.
A dividend of Lit. 1.600 per share (1981:
Lie. 1.400) was declared, which will be
pavablc as from 19th July 1983.
In their Report, the Directors state that
the Company's 1982 figures are not
directly comparable with those of the
previous year, mainly because the 1982
Accounts do not include figures for the
French and Austrian Branch Offices which
were transformed into locally incorporated
Subsidiaries.
The comparison is instead homogeneous
for direct insurances written in Italy,
where there was substantial growth in
premium income, with increases of 28%
being achieved in the Life Branch, 29% in
the Accident Account. 30% in the Marine
Account and 1 9% in Fire.
At Lit. 1622 bn, RAS’ solvency margin
exceeds the minimum legal requirement
by Lit. 61 bn.
As Special Business, proposals were
adopted to split each of the Company's Lie.
10.000 par value shares into two Lie. 5,000
shares, and to increase its share capital from
Lit 64.800.000.000 to Lie. 87,480.000.000
by means of a combined scrip and rights
issue. The merger of four wholly-owned
real estate subsidiaries into RAS was also
approved.
Directors were elected to serve for the
forthcoming three-year period and at a
Board Meeting held after the Annual .
General Meeting. Mr. Ettore Lolii was
rc-clcctcd Chairman and Mr. Carlo Pcscnri
Deputy- Chairman, while Mr. Umberto
Zanni was re-appointed Managing
Director.

1. The factors you selected for assessment
2. Howthe market ranks the importance of
each factor
3. How the industry is performing against
market expectations
4. How your company or product is

increase
dividend
By Wayne ZJntott
.Wheelers* . Restaurants an-
nounced an increased dividend
on marginally higher profits
yesterday. The restaurant chain,
with 15 oyster and fish res-
taurants, a Billingsgate outlet
and a small hotel, said that it
managed to peg prices during
the recession by cutting profit
margins.
Mr Ronnie Emmanuel chair-
man. said: “We had a vary bad
first halt but the recovery in the
second half more made lip
for the shortfall and I am
pleased to report that results
show an. improvement The first
three mon ths of the current year
show profits exceptionaly better
than a year ago".
Mr Emmanuel! said the basis
for the recovery was. the
company’s decision to reduce
drastically its profit margins. .
The company, which buys
most of its oysters from Prince
Charles' Duchy of Cornwall
estate, reported pre-tax profits
of £330,878 against £307,436
the year before, earned on.
turnover of £8.2 million, up
from £7. 2m.
It intends paying a final
dividend of 4.75p, making
WALL STREET
Braniff signs peace
. Fort Worth, Texas (AP-Dow
Jones) - American Airlines and
Braniff Airways, long-time bit-
ter rivals.' have agreed to drop,
their legal and financial claims
against each other.
The agreement, fifed in the
federal bankrupey court at Fort.
Worth, was unexpected in the
light of. Braniffs frequent
accusations that American Air-
lines used “dirty tricks” to help
to drive it out of business rn
May, 1982.
But Braniff .agreed in the
filing not to bring any future
civil anti-trust proceedings .
accusing ‘ American - of such
actions, American agreed to pay
the Braniff estates $6.5m .
(£4. 3m) and to drop certain
financial claims against the
estate. ‘
The agreement must -be
approved by the bankrupvy
court, and a hearing has been
set for July 23. .
For Braniff the agreement
removes several potential ob- *
sanies to its reorganization {dan -
enabling it to resume competing
with American as a Dallas-
based unit of Hyatt Corportion.
Chicago.
American has strongly op-
posed an earlier Braniff flying
agreement with another com-
pany which foundered. .
The agreement may also
provide sufficient funds to
Braniff to case the fears of some
Braniff creditors that the new
flying operation lacks enough
capital. In addition to making a
direct cast payment to Braniff
American, agreed to drop all its
financial claims, against the
Braniff estate, estimated by
some to total more than SlOm.
For American, the settlement
precludes a potentially embar-
rassing anti-trust trial which at
least was certain to prove
damaging to American from a
public relations standpoint.
American, already has been
heavily criticized m its Dallas-
Fort Worth- home market by

with 5.88p previously. Mr
Emmanuel said that volume
sales were up significantly and
that all major areas of trading
showed a healthy improvement.
The company has begun
importing sole from Holland.
Mr Emmanuel said that the
prices are cheaper, grades better
and the fish fresher.' Wheelers'
imports 7,000 tons of sole a
year.
It is also expanding ‘ into
merchandising with large pur-
chases of fish stock through.

expand through purchases of
hotels, public houses and wine
bars.

ral resources group and Faywin

hall to acquire 1.95 million

43.5 per cent) in International

pletion of the purchase of these

seemed about right in the cueam-

slip for 25, but Hardie, in his
idiosyncratic bat aggressive way,
was stiD there with 62, and Fletcher
had crept up to 24.
' They got as for as 137 but then,
with a fresh breeze blowing off the
estuary, the bowlers suddenly found
life and inspiration. In exactly two
more hours Essex were bundled out
for 202. nine wickets going down for
65. Marshall, bowling very fist on a
foil length, ended up with six for 73,
TmnJett taking the other four for
65. Both of them had reasons to be
gratcfol to their slip fielders.
Marshall got things going when,

Fletcher went next, wafting
Tremlett to second slip, where
Pocoek took a fuse, one-handed
catch. Pom, stabbing at Marshall,
gave the bowler a sharp ret u rn catch
and four wickets had gone for ten
runs.
Phillip and Pringle promised
better things but another stick catch
by Pocoek at second slip removed
Phillips. and then Pringle
mishooked at Tremlett. Pocoek
took a fourth slip catch before the
end and Acfrekl was out first balL

Private anguish
of de Savary in
helming argument
Newport Rhode Island
When Phil Crcbbin. the regular
starting helmsman of Victory '83,
was taken ill on board only IS
minute^ before the start of
Tuesday's America’s Cup B Series
elimination race against Azzurra,
and was replaced by three times
Olympic medal winner Rodney
Patti sson in what proved to be a
thumping win by more than five
minutes, the spark of the British
helming controversy had been
reignited.
It is said that when Alan Bond's
involvement going back to Lion-
heart days, and it was noticeable
that neither was particularly cagrr to
attribute any of Tuesday's s u cc e s s to
the superb new Baieman-design
light-air Genoa which accelerated
Victory'83 dramatically on the
second two windward legs. It would
be no more than human if they
tended to attribute the margin to
their partnership. Law went home
basically because on Australia, the
victory Iriallist boat, he saw tittle of
the helm in partnership with
Paoisson, as Cudmore had done,
ve de Savary an ultimatum of
Australian crew tiearo two mourns gave oe savary an oiiunaium ui
ago that Harold Cudmore had split being given authority or packing his
with the Victory syndicate and gone
home, they nodded with mock
approval. They regarded him as one
of the hardest, most competitive
men in the business.
Now the argument, within and
outside the British squad, about the
helming of Victory 'S3 is again a
focal point of the British campaign
less than half way through the
elimination series. The departure of
Cudmore. followed a few weeks
later by that of the equally respected
Chris Law. may come to be seen
more than ever in retrospect as a
turning point.
AH this is a matter of private
anguish for Peter de Savary. who
more than any yachting philanthro-
pist since Sir Tommy Liplon has
been prepared to pm his money -
currently running in excess of SSm -
where his mouth is. in the British
interests, sparing nothing in energy
or enterprise to ensure that this
would not be another GBD (great
British disaster). This the campaign
is certainly not. for despite the
controversies, de Savary has
produced a fine boat and competent
crew.
But what is called into question
after the crushing of the fancied
Azzurra - almost a minute
advantage on each leg - is the
advisability of de Savarv's insist-
ence on the squad system even
De Savary has a commendable
forth in the propensity of his three
retained helmsmen to subordinate
their personal ambition to the need
of the gnipiipi, in their altruistic
sense for the tactically correct
decision for the boat at any moment
even under intense pre ssur e.
If de Savary were operating with
business associates who each stood
to make a million bucks from a
successful project, altruism might be
guaranteed, but these are sportsmen
who for two yearn have been
working towards and motivated by
the prospect of glory, earning not
much more than pocket money. It is
ineviaWe that in their minds the
bottom line of the deal for them is
to be on the boat
It would seem dear, therefore,
that by the Cud Of the C eliminati on
series, de Savary must grasp the
nettle and name his first choice
partnership, and that before the
semi-finals a rigorous tactical
discipline must be maintained with
no Anther experiment with bow fast
the boat wilt go in a straight Wwe.
The good news is that, on the first
day of more typically Newport
weather - a light 12 to 15 knot wind
and a lumpy sea - the Hewlett,
designed hull behaved admirably,
maintaining a level dean line
through the swell, and further that
among the “afterguard” the helms- #l h e light-air is a
man and tactician. At first glance it potential winning factor which had
would seem to have been totally
vindicated by the facility with which
Crebbin was able to be replaced
Pattisson from off the patrol boat
Yet the argument subsequently is
whether Lawrie Smith, who started
the race, and Pattisson together
went for the biggest possible margin
not just for psychological value but
to strengthen Pattisson’s claim to a
place on the boat, instead of
rigorously covering Azzuna astern
for possible wind shifts in the
acknowledged tactics of America's
Cup match racing. The American
defence selectors, it is argued, would
immediately dismiss a trial boat
which has acted this way.
Smith and Pattisson have an
drawn the envious attention of
Australia IL
It is now believed that the
priori pie of Ben Lexcen's new keel
is one of added weight at the bottom
of a relatively shallow keel, to give
heavy weather stability to a light-
weight boot - at 54,000 lb the
lightest m the competition - bat
spread sideways in the form of
lateral fins to cat the water and give
lift, winch in conjunction with
revolutionary rudder design enables
the boat to turn through the
compass as swiftly as a point duty
policeman.

CYCLING
Simon simply refuses
to give in to injury
From John Wifcockson,
Pascal Simon yesterday displayed
the necessary qualities of courage, to
go with his natual class, required by
a winner of the Tour de France, he
sruvived the 261 kilometre stage
despite nursing a fractured left
shoulder blade, the result of his
heavy foil on Tuesday,
“I think I would survive as well, if
I knew I was going to win die Tour
at the end of it”, commented Phil
Anderson. Simon's team c ofl ea g u r
from Australia. Anderson is also a
courageous rider, and if Simon does
foil by the wayside in today’s crucial
leg across the Massif Central to
Auri I lac. Anderson could take over.
The tall Australian was eighth
into Roquefort, where last week's
yellow jersey. Kim Anderson, now
20th overall, took the honours after
a spectacular counter attack in the
final 10 kilometers. Pedro Delgado
was in the winning move for the
third successive day.
The pair finished half a minute in
front of a small group of leaden
which included Simon as wdl as
Sean Kelly, who is now in third
place overall. This pack included
two of the stage heroes. Lucira Van
lmpe and Robert Millar, who
spearheaded a four man break that
at one point commanded a seven
minute lead.
Roq uefort-sur-Soufzo n
“Our plan,” explained Anderson,
“was for either Robert or me to go
with any breaks, while our other
riders stayed with Pascal. It so
happened that the break went on a
hilL so Robert was up there.” The
attack, initially by Adri Van der
Poel of the Netherlands and Van
lmpe, the Belgian champion, came
after 165 kilometres, on a minor
climb out of Carmaux.
Until then, a pedestrian pace of
31 kilometres per hour had
favoured Simon,
“They would have taken 20
minutes, and Van lmpe would have
been the yellow jersey if we hadn't
done the chasing,” said Graham
Jones, the English colleague of
Bcrnaudeau. The speed of the chase
blew the bunch apart, with the
twenty-eighth abandonment of the
Tour being recorded, and Bert
Oostcrbosch arriving 30 minutes
after the winner. Despite the length
and speed of the pursuit, Simon

How the mighty Bee her ’s Brook has fallen: the charred remains tel] their own story
Security tightened after
Becher’s burnt down
A big security dampdown has
been ordered at Ainttee racecourse
after a fire, possibly started by
vandals, wrecked the famous
Becher’s Brook fence and badly
damaged the Canal Turn fence.
AD but a lew yards of Beche r’s /
was reduced to ashers, but firemen
and course staff managed to save
half of foe Canal Turn (race.
Groundstaff are now working to
rebuild foe thorn base of the fences
and replace 1.500 square yards of
charred turf m time for next year's
Grand National.
The course manager. Frank Dinn
said yesterday, “vandalism is a
constant problem and we wiU
obviously have to look at ways we
can tighten up our security. It wQ]
involve a lot of work to rebuild the
fences - probably about six weeks
aD told, but there is no cause for
concern about the ran itself We
wiD make sore the fences are in tip-
top cond i t i on in good time far the
race.”
Police patrols on the Ain tree
course are to be stepped up in an
effort to keep the wreckers at bay.
Mr Dinn. who made the request for
more police help, said: “Security has
been a problem for many years.
“It's very easy for youngsters to
scale the outer perimeter feme. Also
the public have a right of way across
the country part of the coarse by
Becher’s Brook since 1957.
On the eve of the 1982 Grand
National (including Becher’s were)
three fences set on fire, allegedly by
animal rights protesters. However,
wet weather rad quick action by
groundstaff and the fire brigade
prevented major damage on that
occasion. With the current dry
weather the fences are tinder dry
and the latest fires spread quickly.
National safety limit and
conditions are changed
Merseyside Police, who originally
said that the fires had been stated
deliberately, bier ctw»>gfri the
nature of their statement Detective
Inspector Geoff Macdonald said
that inquiries into the cause of the
blazes were still going on.
He said: “We are keeping an open
mind about the origins of foe fire.
They may wdl have been started
deliberately, but there is also a
possibility the causes were acciden-
tal."
Aintrce Raceco ur se Company
yesterday announced simplified
race conditions for next year’s
Grand Natio nal, -together with a
reduction in ihe safety limit. The
safety number ' has been reduced
from 50 to 40. There were 41 this
year when Corbiere held off
Greasepaint to omkg Jenny Pitman
foe first woman to train the winner
of the world's greatest steeplechase.
John Hughes, the clerk of the
course, sake “It is a fairly difficult
balancing act to p re v ent chang ing
the character of the race, but at the
same time to safeguard
reaso n a b le safety to horse and
rider'’.
Next year's race will be for six-
year-olds and upwards which before
February 26. 1984 and since July 1.
1981 have won a stee plechase or
have been placed first, second or
third in the Maryland Hunt flip
Mr Hughes, who has long been
anxious to open up the National,
explained: “For some years now it
has been thought that the conditions
of the National were unnecessarily
complicated but it seemed pointless
to ranounnee a substantial alter-
ation until such time as the race was
secure.".
He emphasized that the. alteration;
to the conditions had no connexion
whh the Seagrams sponsorship and
added: “The new conditions are a

North Stakes as Haydocfc Perk-

When he won at Haydock Hoyer

that further opening up of the race

In the past there were exam pis of
horses being placed in very valuable
races, but foiling to meet the
qualification requirements whereas
others which have been beaten out

Mr Hughes concluded: . “The
simplification of the race conditions
does not in ray way reduce the
opportunity for overseas competi-
tors. although Deedless to say having
qualified to run they will still need
to win or run three times in this
country in order to be handicapped.
“The most obvious interpretation
of this alteration is that it will give

Most of the networking assod-

years in answer to increasing numbers
of women feeling isolated in senior

• Fortuitously, the great hanging
debate spite over into tortghfs

Aptly, too, for the renewed tug-of-

been total drama from the word go,
and there can scarcely have been a
less Impassive audtame for any
spectacle, real fifa or fictional.
BOSWEa FOR THE DEFENCE
(BBC2, ftOQpm} is real life with
fictional tra p ffngs. Inevitably, it Is
less gripping than the

culminates to a pubfc hanging (to

trad either for or against capital

reflects one of the tenets of the
abofitionrsts’ case: that, quite
probably, many mom innocent man
and woman have died by the rope

Labour left
battle
to control
NEC
Continued from page 1
vote for Mr Neil Kinnock witfi
Mr Roy Hattersley as deputy
leader. Voting at branches
produced a return of more than
50 per cent, with Mr Kinn ock
winning 70 per cent of those
votes.
Left strategists have switched
their attention from the leader'
ship issue now that Mr Kinnock
appears home and dry to
winning control of the NEC and
are lobbying hard for the votes
of unions such as the POEU
and the National Union of
RaiJwaymen, which has moved
significantly to the left.
The five trade unionists
whose seats have been ident-
ified for attack by the left are
Mr Golding, Mr Russell Tuck
of the NUR, Mr David
Williams, of the Confederation
of Health Service union, Mr
Roy Evans, of the steelworkers
and Mr Denis Howell of the
white-collar union, the Associ-
ation of Professional Executive
Clerical and Computer Staffs.
Mr Tuck and Mr Williams
are retiring although under
NUR practice their nominee
will automatically be Mr
Charles Tumock, the next most
senior official in the union, who
is more of a right winger than
Mr Tuck.
Among the onion nominees
which the left are supporting are
Mr Douglas Hoyle, from Mr
Clive Jenkins, Association of
Scientific Technical and Mana-
gerial Stalls. Mr Charles Kelly
from the construction workers'
union and Miss Barbara Switz-
er. 6f the white-collar Technical,
Administrative and Supervisory
Section.
Mr Kin nock's victory as
leader was vitually assured
earlier this week when Mr
Frank Chappie's electricians'
union, which has a 180,000
block vote, decided to abstain
because it disagreed with the
method of electing the party
leader.
# Mr Golding, the MP- for
Newcastle-under-Lyme, who
has been the wheeler-dealer
linkman on the NEC between
the unions and the politicians,
and the soft left and the
moderates, said that he thought
his departure would make little
difference (our Political Corre-
spondent writes).
But the view is based on an
assumption that the hard-left
fail to make inroads into the
national executive at the confer-
ence, and that the moderate
majority increases to give
greater authority to Mr Kin-
nock's expected leadership.
Coops breathe new life Sh-
into derelict district
The first row of shops- and
workshops in Britain nm
entirely by workers' cooperat-
ives (above) was formally
opened yesterday in the
London district of Hackney.
.■The 10 businesses, employ-
ing about 40 people, have been
set np in Bradbury Street
which has been virtually
derelict for the past five years.
Rebuilding was carried out by
Hackney Cooperative Devel-
opments to proride concen-
trated retail outlets for the
expanding number of coops in
the area.
HCD leased the buildings
from Hackney Borough Coun-
cil and developed them with
grants totalling £190,000 from
the inner-city partnership at
die Department of the En-
vironment and the Borough
Council itsell. Grants totalling
£80,000 for the next phase,
developing more shops, offices
and workshops in the row,
have also been approved.
Mr Marshall Column, of
HCD, said the project would
breathe new life into a run-
down area and create new
business for the employee-
controlled firms, most of which
have been in existence else-
where for some time.
Only Bnds'n'BIooms, a
florist’s, is in business for die
first time. The partners' are
Mrs Betty Cooper ami her
daughter, Debbie (right). Both
were employed in plant shops
before and spent four years
looking for premises. They
finally decided' to open in
Bradbury Street as the rent of
£35-a-week was affordable.
At Trojan Printing Services,
where rents are higher, Ms
Virginia Heywood said die
development would improve
the image of coops and help
them be taken serioualy.
Coops being together, she
said, would increase business
and allow problems to be
sorted out together. “For me,
being in a coop means 1 have a
voice in decisions. In private
business, I'd just be minding a
machine all day", she said.
Rents from die coops will go
back to Hackney Cooperative
Developments. In part, they
will go into a “revolving loan -
fund" to provide small loans to
cooperatives with formalities
kept to a minimum.
Landmine
kills four
UDR men
in convoy
Continued from page one
was reduced to a tangled
wreckage on the edge of a 40 ft
wide by 15 ft deep crater.
Telephone cables were de-
stroyed, putting 1700 phones in
the rural area out of order.
One of die soldiers died as he
was being airlifted to hospital
but the others ' were killed
instantly. .
Mr Noel Brown, assistant
divisional fire officer, who was
at the scene within minutes
said: "There was just a. huge
crater and the vehicle was well
alight with three bodies inside.
My feeling was one of
revulsion."
The Provisional IRA hiding
in hills 400 yds away detonated
the bomb by a command wire
later discovered by security
forces who carried out a huge
search after sealing off the area.
The attack brings to six the
number of UDR men killed this
year and is the highest toll
suffered by the regiment since
1 980, when three men were
killed in. a similar explosion in
co Down.
Cardinal Tomas OTiaich,
Roman Catholic Primate of All
Ireland, said that it was a black
day and that no cause could
justify a single killing.
As politicians condemned the
attack, it was Unionists who
proclaimed that the incident
provided a great argument for
bringing back the rope. The Rev
Ian . Paisley, leader of the
Democratic Unionist Party,
said that massacre demon-
strated that the innocent lost
their lives but the guilty had
their lives preserved.
The Rev William McCrea,
Democratic Unionist MP for
Mid-Ulster said that unless
capital punishment was re-
stored Northern Ireland would
see nothing but more coffins.
“If any man votes against
capital punishment he will have
the blood of the innocents on
his hands", he said.
In South Armagh, police were
investigating the double murder
of two ment found in an
abandoned car three miles from
Crossmagi en. The men, named
locally as Mr Patrick Macldn
and Mr Eamon McMahon, both
in their thirties and from the
area, were last seen alive in
Dundalk, co Louth, on Tuesday
night. It was several hours
before police moved in as they
feared the vehicle had been
booby trapped.
The men were not connected
with the security forces and no
organization claimed responsi-
bility for the killings.
Frank Johnson in the Commons
Pray silence for
As it always did in the old
days, capital punishment
brought out the crowds yester-
day.
The back benches filled up
well in advance of the start.
The public galleries were foil
In the street outside, a large
queue . waited in hope of
admittance. Figures from the
House of Lords, itself used by
some Prime Ministers as a
form of capital punishment,
filled the Peers’ Gallery. The
vast form of Lord Soaxncs, for
example, was draped over the
railing. The only slightly less
vast form of his son, Nicholas,
a new MP, was draped over a
back bench somewhere below.
It was a reminder, for good or
ill, on a day when death was
the subject, of life’s astonish-
ing capacity to renew itself
. Scottish question time ras-
ped to a close. It was time for
the great debate. The new
Speaker, Mr Bernard Weathc-
rill, rose and pronounced the
words which 1 bring terror to
the most hardened of MPs;
“Speeches must be brief very
brief." No fewer than 60
members had indicated their
wish to take part in the debate,
he said He made it dear that
some would be disappointed.
“I ask them not to come to the
Chair to assess their chances,"
he said These are the
traditional words spoken by a
Speaker when he sentences
men and women to silence in
this place. How many of them
were innocent? (Very few,
actually.)
In fact, the Speaker’s words
momentarily drew attention
to an even more pressing
problem: the unusually large
number of Conservative
members who wanted to
avoid speaking in this debate
at all costs. These were the
ones who had secured Con-
servative candidacies by com-
ing out in favour of capital
punishment, but who had
since been cowed by liberal
bishops, apostate . prison
governors, and Mr James
Prior - in short by the entire
howling mob that moderate
opinion forms itself into on
these occasions.
For these wretched mem-
bers, there was no refuge
during the debate, except the
loo. They could always plead
that a lock proved fruity at the
time of the crucial vote. One
thing was certain: they could
not say that they had to be
.1* :
away on constituency business
at the time. In many Con-
servative associations, capital
punishment is regarded as the
only constituency -business
worth their member's atten-
tion.
A goodly proportion of
Tory backbenchers, then, sat
through the debate in com-
plete misery - hoping for a
speech which would prove
that one could be both for
capital punishment and ac-
ceptable in polite society.
' acceptable in both the ■ con-
stituency committee room and
the London drawing room. No
such speech ever came.
Sir Edward Gardner, the
member for Fylde, who
moved the main motion, did
not seem to have the answer
to this social issue. His speech
putting the case for capital
punishment was respectable, -
but stolid.
In keeping with all the
canons of common sense, he ..
refused to base his case on *
statistics. But this meant that
his case could be easily
mocked and “rebutted” by
nimbler minds.
As the Home Secretary is
expected to do in capita]
punishment debates, Mr Leon
Brittan summed up the case
for and apainsL He then came
out in favour of death for
terrorists - amid Labour
hysteria. For the Opposition
front bench, Mr Roy Hatters-
ley kept on puffing out his K
cheeks and saying how totally,
utterly, completely, unequivo-
cally opposed to capita! "
punishment he was - as if he •• '
were taking his career in his t ' '
hands by doing so. His speech . _
was a huge success with his .
party. . - - "*'•
But a more effective speech :
for the anti-hangers came - ‘ “
from Mr Edward Heath, who '*
is serving a life sentence below ' -
the gangway. He mentioned
the Large number, of mistaken
convictions for murder in
recent years. Then he said he -
understood some new Tory
member had said he would be *■
prepared to cany out an
execution if necessary. “Is he
prepared to be hanged by 1
mistake?" he asked. Later
research revealed this member* ;*=•■ *
to be a Mr Peter Bruinvels, of *
Leicester East But he re- -
mained la anonymous silence
at Mr - • Heath’s.>

Heat and pets
The RSPCA has issued an urgent
appeal to pet owners to safeguard
their animals during hot weather.
Confining a dog in a stationary car
can lead to its extreme distress and
death in a short time.
Dogs should be exercised in the
early morning or in the evening, not
in the heat or the day. If an animal
must be outside provide plenty of
shade and fresh water. Violent
ihundensiorms cause fear and often
panic in some animals: A dark
comer under the stairs or in a
cupboard can be a sanctuary.
