Jones<\/strong>: \u2013listen to the news, and also take note of this. After inspection, this is the last time I will give any timely warning about the maintenance of your houses, your clothes or your yards, and waste. These matters are to be corrected forthwith, immediately, out of love for the community which is greater than all of us. Love for socialism which supersedes each of us as individuals, because the eyes of the world are upon us, and will soon be upon us from many nations and news. Must\u2013 We must<\/em> see that socialism does\u2013 is not hurt in America, because great strains are on the American economy. There\u2019s a chance, even a snowball\u2019s chance, approaching hell, we want to see that socialism\u2013 And even though nuclear war seems absolutely going to happen, if people realize the message, then they will come here. We are much talked about, and we will be talked about more in rightwing media throughout the nation.<\/p>\n

So, if people, some hundred and so, nearly 200, prisoners have seen through the lies, then others will see, but we have to have a model. We have to understand that tape that was just being played. It will go on under the library, and you must review it. Without passing that, you will be guaranteed five extra days. Those who failed the last test will have extra classes tonight and also tomorrow night, as well as the usual classes on Friday and a class uh, following.<\/p>\n

Tonight there will be movie selection by the people. So, put in your request and uh, I will endure whatever. All I require is if I interpret (pause) that I know what the movie is and uh, I\u2019ll accept the wishes of the people. If it\u2019s falderol. But whoever interprets it, ha\u2013 you have to closely point out, because some people are just not aware yet.<\/p>\n

Well, (sighs) China is carrying on her Doctrine of Three Worlds<\/a> very well, as she\u2019s moved into a treaty with Britain, which will benefit her and immediately bri\u2013 uh, benefit Great Britain to the tune of several hundred millions of pounds. Britain will be helping China (chuckles) of all things, with coal mines and underground shelters. The British will do anything, they\u2019ll protect the Chinese communist, and we have to say, hats off to China in her wisdom there. She will also be the benefactor of certain equipment that she<\/em> needs, vital equipment.<\/p>\n

[Anwar] Sadat and [Menachim] Begin welcome [Jimmy] Carter\u2019s immediate emergency intrusion at a meeting of all parties concerned in his country estate. US now is becoming a full partner, a part of a US new commitment, said the BBC. The commitment is to make its own proposals instead of suggestions. Israel however contradicts itself, even though Begin welcomed it, by saying Egypt and uh, said the Americans will not dictate in any way to Israel as to the giving up of their conquered territories of Gaza Strip, the West Bank and southern Lebanon. So you\u2019re right back where you started from.<\/p>\n

The right wing of Palestinian elements that supposedly were supposed to be involved in UN peace-keeping forces, started firing on a group of school children in Beirut. Syria, an ally of the Soviet Union, moved into the scene. Number of casualties has not yet been mentioned.<\/p>\n

China and Japanese Foreign Ministers [Huang Hua and Sunao Sonoda] are at loggerheads. There was just about to be signed a friendship peace and treaty of e\u2013 eternal accord between China and Japan, who had been historic enemies. However, the Soviet Union got very militant about one clause \u2013 anti-hegemony \u2013 that they swore the Chinese meant for them. Both parties said it was meant for both the superpowers. However, the Japanese Foreign Minister has now said they will not<\/em> put this in, nor any statement that the Soviet Union considers hostile. So the Soviet Union must have enough military advantage in the world that the empire of Japan, one of the great capitalists, the more successful ones, its yen certainly always doing better than the dollar, and it\u2019s always the Japanese that are having to buy up the dollar. So Japan and China are at loggerheads in going ahead with this agreement of friendship and peace, unless\u2013 and trade, unless the Chinese agree to the dropping of the anti-hegemony clause. Though it does not mention the Soviet Union by name, it is felt most certainly by the Russians that it has them in mind.<\/p>\n

Japan wants USA to do more about the exchange rate and the falling US dollar. In a very terse demand from the Exchange Minister of Japan [likely Tatsuo Murayama, Japanese Finance Minister], this was ge\u2013 sent to Washington requiring immediate attention on Washington\u2019s part.<\/p>\n

China is asking British to negotiate building of, I told you, mines and underground shelters, to continue their complexes that will be into the hundreds of millions of pounds, and there will be also trade with Japan, and they<\/em> will engage in the helping of China protect its people and develop its resources. China seems to be gaining more<\/em> from the capitalist, consistent with her doctrine. Remember her doctrine of Three Worlds. She says, to woo the second world closer to China and the under-developed nations. We shall sucee\u2013 we shall see with future if she continues to uphold the Third World. She\u2019s been doing a pretty good job of late of helping Third World African nations who\u2019ve stood up to Yankee imperialism.<\/p>\n

Riot at the border between Vietnam and China. The Vietnamese republic, reunified communist state where USA poured gases and napalm that destroyed into the hundreds of thousands \u2013 into the millions<\/em>, in fact \u2013 of Vietnamese, now we find great conflict about to ensue between those two. Vietnam is of course pro-Soviet. But Vietnam, according to BBC, charges that the Chinese sent 500 hooligans into the area of the\u2013 of the people, the 6000 that China says that Vietnam w\u2013 didn\u2019t want, but China won\u2019t accept their own Chinese ethnics. China says that they are not uh, being cooperative in living in communal life. That could well be. But China shouldn\u2019t\u2019ve made an issue over it the first place, because Vietnam has said that these elements of the Chinese were the petty bourgeoisie, and used some of the bourgeoisie who refused rehabilitation after the socialist revolution was complete and the Yankees were driven out in the Vietnam war.<\/p>\n

So, this 500 tried to instigate a riot for some reason or another, and it did so, in and amidst the 6000, and then even BBC observers observed that the 500 immediately were taken in to\u2013 to mainland China, so they were undoubtedly were the instigators.<\/p>\n

The body of Pope Paul VI, head of the Catholic Church, the Vatican, the seat of Saint Peter and the heir of Jesus Christ, so they say, is moved to St. Peter\u2019s Cathedral for funeral Saturday. Secret conclave of the card\u2013 College of Cardinals must begin within 20 days after the pope\u2019s death to decide who shall inherit the seat of Jesus Christ. I wonder what makes these august gentlemen think that they communicate with Jesus Christ. The pope is supposed to be infallible. I wonder how now, all the College of Cardinals infallible, or are they going to find the will of Jesus Christ, if he is still talking \u2013 ha, ha \u2013<\/p>\n

Police battle between blacks back-to-nature group, said BBC. Police fired into black neighborhoods in Philadelphia, arrested many, many. Twelve leaders alone of the black community of Philadelphia. One black stepped out before being shot down, and shot a policeman to death. BB say\u2013 BBC admitted racism is a severe crisis problem in both USA, Britain and Canada.<\/p>\n

Carter\u2019s find that millions of dollars in huge loans to save New York City from bankruptcy which would\u2019ve come next month. Where\u2019s he gonna get this money? You know, he\u2019s got to hold onto Africa. You\u2019ll know that, if you have any sense. And what will happen when he tries to hold onto Africa? Well, with the Africans abide by it? Will the Soviets abide by it? What will happen when he can\u2019t control the oil anymore? I mean USA. No matter what Carter\u2019s intention, he becomes a victim of the military-industrial class, monopoly capitalism.<\/p>\n

The first sessions between China and Japan have been frank<\/em> this morning, but the disagreement still continues over the fact of what I told you, that Japan will\u2013<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Form of capitalism, a welfare capitalism, some people would call it a social democracy, apparently it now s\u2013 is an attempt in Britain to act like social demo\u2013 democrats in view of the imperiling threat of the right of\u2013<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

\u2013of a 32-year political career. Why would they be h\u2013 now be presenting to the whole world through the Voice of America the honorable racist Governor [George] Wallace, who held out a black student, as you remember, at the point of a bayonet, openly has praised the Ku Klux Klan. Well, I\u2019ll tell you what he had to say. He said it was a shame that World War II took place, that the major enemy of Communism in the Near East, Japan was destroyed. He said we should have never engaged in the war with Japan. \u2018Course, what he did not admit was that it was an economic war, that the Japanese were under-selling \u2013 always better at capitalism apparently, than USA \u2013 they were under-selling bicycles and such things. He did not of course in any way indict on this day that is the day of the bombing of Nagasaki, in which the Soviets on Radio Moscow said 280,000 died that very moment in Nagasaki at\u2013 in and around the epicenter\u2013 center of the bomb. He didn\u2019t condemn any of that. He just said it was a mistake because Japan was so anti-communist, and if they had been allowed to remain with their empire, China would\u2019ve been under their dominion. Not mention, however, the Japanese were as cruel as US fascism has now become in Africa and [Adolf] Hitler\u2018s Germany were, exterminating Chinese in all of their conquered territories. They felt they were superior to the Koreans, who lived in absolute subjugation to them. But that\u2019s Mr. Wallace\u2019s thinking. He said that we must now realize that the American wa\u2013 uh, middle-class will be radicalized, if we let go of Africa. He said in plain terms, any fool could\u2019ve heard him. The industrial diamonds, the copper, the zinc, the cobalt, the uranium, and the gold that is in Rhodesia and South Africa cannot be let go of. He didn\u2019t talk about Africans\u2019 rights to their own properties and minerals, he said, we cannot withstand<\/em> in USA the radicalization of the middle class who cannot now afford to maintain their homes, or having to move back into inner cities where high crime rates are, even though they\u2019re putting out black people on the streets, and Indians and Asians, and putting up some sort of condominiums, the crime is still all around them, the pollution. He said they can\u2019t afford the cost of living now, so we\u2019ve got to hold on and even get more direct profit, said the good governor, racist governor, from uh, Alabama, who has now become suddenly the issue of great praise by the Voice of America, heralding him in what they call Dateline<\/em>, which is reserved for the people that expound the propaganda line of USA the best. He said he wants to see a reaction \u2013 now, that\u2019s the word he used, that means reactionary \u2013 a reaction of rightwing thinking, conservative thinking, on the part of the middle class, and see that the answer is further impositions on the poor. Naturally, that means black and Indians first. He said this inflation is causing loss of b\u2013 of incentives to the middle class because they can\u2019t make ends meet with both people working, even, he said, why, people like doctors and dentists are having difficulties. Too bad, in that they are one out of every three surgeries they perform, or better, by admission of the ri\u2013 uh, rightwing Readers Digest<\/em>, were unnecessary, and the hum\u2013 much higher than that<\/em> of the removal of women\u2019s breasts.<\/p>\n

Well, anyway, that is an interesting beginning for Voice of America today. They heralded him 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

Namibia talks with South African administration\u2013 uh, UN administrators, about trying to settle the complaints that Namibia has, that little uneasy feeling they have, that United Nations is just likely to maintain a sort of uh, what shall we say, indirect control over Namibia by the imperialist powers? (Pause)<\/p>\n

Joshua Nkomo, in a brave stand from Lusaka in Zambia \u2013 that\u2019s\u2013 is where China\u2019s aiding, Zambia, and both the Soviet Union and Zambia\u2019s heavily under the pressure of IMF, but they still allow Nkomo to have his sanctuary there, and Robert Mugabe. He said sharply in uh, brilliant statements to the BBC, Voice of America, and whoever else was listening, he said only the force of guns can ride\u2013 wipe out racism in Africa. That was his statement, and he\u2019s the nationalist leader of the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front, that really represent 97 percent of Rhodesia under the dread control of the fascist white racist supremacist Ian Smith. His other half is the Leninist, Marxist-Leninist, Robert Mugabe.<\/p>\n

The UN and the Red Cross halt abduction of Rhodesians. Now we\u2019ve got a great big hue and cry that the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front are picking up youths out of the schools and putting them in slavery. I think I\u2019ve heard that term thrown at us, and same-old scenes. It almost as if they have a file, they pull it out, they use against Panthers, they use against Africa, they use against Cubans, same-old scene. Voice of America charges that uh, the Zimbabwean Patriotic Front are using children to bolster their terrorist armies. Of course, we know what they are. They\u2019re the revolutionary armies. Even the secretary\u2013 foreign secretary of Britain [Lord David Owen] is trying to negotiate with them, as the\u2013 he said, they\u2019re the only representative government of the people. Strange dichotomy. The\u2013 no end to the lies that USA will put out, and no end to the willingness of US people to listen to them, I guess.<\/p>\n

Now, interestingly enough, the Voice of America for the first time today is referring to black people as colored. For instance, the\u2013 uh, this one instance: three colored men and three Orientals \u2013 they used to be Asians, now they\u2019re Orientals and they\u2019re colored \u2013 were sentenced by a judge in white Rhodesia because they refused to give service to the army of the Rhodesian racist regime. He said, however \u2013 he must had a moment of conscience \u2013 he said I am forced to sentence\u2013 I guess he means by the dictatorship of Ian Smith, and that\u2019s upheld now, since USA has lifted its ban on arms shipments and aid in both houses of its Congress, and so has Britain. He said, however, it is quite<\/em> reasonable to assume that these gentlemen of color would not want to serve in an army where they cannot go to the schools, not allowed to attend the theaters, cannot eat in the restaurants, are not receiving the same wages and are segregated on the job, cannot live in certain neighborhoods, he said it\u2019s somewhat reasonable to see, but he said, I must carry out the law. His sentence was not quite as stiff this time only \u2013 one year \u2013 he said but in the future, take no ease from this light sentence, he said the sentence will be greater to anyone in Salisbury, that\u2019s about the only place they\u2019ve got left where they can draw anybody, because the Patriotic Front, Zimbabwean Patriotic Front\u2019s got 97 percent of the land area of Rhodesia under their control. But he said, the next that comes before my court will receive stiff sentences. What\u2019s that mean? I don\u2019t know. Maybe death.<\/p>\n

There are South African troops in Rhodesia, says the Voice of America. They carry this, and uh, without any real indictment of same. So now we have the apartheid racist fascist regime of South African troops in Rhodesia. They have not quite yet admitted that there are US aides, but they have given a prelude with Governor Wallace that we got to keep those industrial diamonds, the copper, the chrome, the zinc. Got to keep it. He named it right down the list. [assumed Southern accent] And we\u2019ve got to make more out of it, so there can be more money we can share, he said, with the middle class, \u2018cause we don\u2019t want the middle class to become radicalized socialist. Well, that would be terrible, wouldn\u2019t it, that\u2013 by\u2013 my good brother Wallace. [regular voice]<\/p>\n

All right. The pope again. Bullshit for the pope. I ain\u2019t gonna get into the pope anymore, I\u2019ve said enough about the pope.<\/p>\n

United Nations South Africa consultation with Namibian political groups. The United Nations are not happy that Namibian people would be represented by South West African Peoples Organization, SWAPO, are back to war again. Of course, they\u2019ve got a little reason, being that South Africa\u2019s forces are in Rhodesia and are in Namibia, and even invaded Angola last week, until they were driven out by the Cubans and the Angolans. Well, now. Albert [Alfred] Atherton is a special envoy to help with Middle East agreements. [Cyrus] Vancereturns to Washington, said he was a tired and fatigued man, because he just can\u2019t get anywhere, the Israelis don\u2019t trust anybody and we gotta\u2013 we gotta distrust nationalism all over the world and then nuclear bombs, so you figure it out. If you think there\u2019s any future for going back to USA, you just don\u2019t want to think, my darling, you don\u2019t want to think. As hellish as it is, I want our people out<\/em> of there, dammit. We got to move. And some are still moving slower than a damn snail. We\u2019ve got<\/em> to work and produce and inventively think of ways of saving money and making money.<\/p>\n

A bit of important news, I would think that you\u2019d like to hear, that my stance always pays. [Vibert Mingo] The Cabinet minister, minister of home affairs and uh, internal affairs and immigration, head of all the police, met with our people today, and we said we didn\u2019t want to go to court, he said, well, I wished you\u2019d go to court, I said, we don\u2019t want to go to court, we won\u2019t go to court, and he said, I\u2019ll have the matter taken care of. He said you are uh, a very firm people, but he was friendly throughout. He also said that he would\u2013 make give right of travel guarantees to me, so I could go wherever I needed uh, for operation and uh, I\u2019m demanding also that they include that I\u2019ll have the right of safe return and so forth if I so decide. Who knows, I may heal myself, if some of you people lay off of me and don\u2019t put stress and strain on each other and don\u2019t hurt each other and are more friendly to each other, I\u2019ll have less tension, because I\u2019ve got all<\/em> I can do to handle that mess back in USA, which is gonna get more severe, because fascism is looming. If you\u2019da heard Wallace. I didn\u2019t give you all of this shit. It was outrageous. He sounded like Adolf Hitler. And what do you suppose the Voice of America did today? They carried a speech of Adolf Hitler, saying that he<\/em> had a high degree of nationalism. Now I don\u2019t know what the hell they were beaming it out in fluent German, all of his (calls out) Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil. I guess\u2013 I guess Norman [likely Ijames] was quite right. Hitler is all of a sudden become a hero, and then maybe he\u2019s gonna become a hero of the Voice of America. It\u2019s goddamnedest craziness I\u2019ve ever seen. American boys lives were shed all\u2013 you all had relatives or loved ones that died in Hitler\u2019s Germany or fighting the Japanese, and all of a sudden, the Japanese were good guys and the Hit\u2013 Hitler\u2019s Germany good guys. I would think American people could see through<\/em> this shit, but they never do, apparently.<\/p>\n

September 5, Israelis and the Egyptians will meet at Camp David, Washington with the good President Carter who probably doesn\u2019t even have control over his own zipper, being that uh, monopoly capitalists are telling him what to do, you know, I mean, the\u2013 he probably can\u2019t even piss where he wants to.<\/p>\n

All right, now we go on to Lebanon, who measures ru\u2013 uh, their\u2013 for return to stability and security doesn\u2019t look very good. USA is really sending in another delegation in there, uh, and all kinds of hell breaking loose, Lebanon just practically been destroyed. Beirut, there\u2019s all through the city, used to be the most beautiful city in the world where American University was located when it was comfortably under capitalist control, it is now having sniper fire in every damn neighborhood, not safe to walk on the streets, people are living in terrible fear.<\/p>\n

State Department reports Israel is supplying US weapons and uh, perhaps even some more dangerous things than that, with the intonation \u2013 \u2018cause they do<\/em> have the bomb, you know \u2013 to the Christian militia fascists, the Phalangists, as you know them, that are holding on illegally, that were trained in Israel, they don\u2019t even represent Lebanon, but are holding on to Southern Lebanese territory.<\/p>\n

The Warren Christopher has\u2013 uh, Warren Christopher says it holds out siege for a wider conflict, irreconcilable differences, the spokesperson for the State Department. That means you can\u2019t get together. Irra\u2013 ir\u2013 irres\u2013 reconcilable differences, like some of our folk who fall in love and get married, there ain\u2019t nothing like marriage to sure cause two folk to hate each other.<\/p>\n

Robert Dorman condemns human rights situation in Guinea. Now little Guinea. G-u-i-n-e-a. Equatorial Guinea in Africa has become the source of USA Voice of America condemnation. Wonder what the hell they\u2019re doing. We\u2019ll have to look them up and maybe give a little reading on them, I don\u2019t know what the hell they must be doing, there\u2019re only 300,000 in the whole goddamn country, and they say 140,000 have been caused to go into exile.<\/p>\n

The Roman Catholic Church is raising all kinds of hell about it, and the\u2013 the la\u2013 Archbishopry of uh\u2013 of uh, New\u2013 America is uh, putting pressure on Washington for interference and uh, uh, human rights uh, declaration, because the nation is entirely Roman Catholic and the government has outlawed the Roman Catholic church. Well, I expect that upset the shit out of them, because that\u2019s one less place that the pope of Rome gonna have some gold. There\u2019s enough gold and, as I said, silver settin\u2019 under the pope\u2019s ass in Rome, in the Vatican, to feed the hungry world. And the whole world mourning over the (unintelligible under radio interference, could be \u201cpontiff\u2019s\u201d) death. Well, I don\u2019t like anyone\u2019s death, but I certainly do wonder how stupid uh, people could be to still be regarding a church\u2013 700 million people in the world, my babies, are in that Roman Catholic church.<\/p>\n

OPEC. Uh\u2013 Oh\u2013 Oil Petroleum nations that are\u2013 uh, you have Saudi Arabia and rich Nigeria of Africa, Nigeria is having its influence, and so is Iraq. They held an extraordinary session and they\u2013 their next session in December will implement their five percent increase, and USA is nervous as hell on what the heck it\u2019s gonna do to their economy, but OPEC says they refuse to be dictated to by Washington. They more or less say, uh, get off our backs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the seventh inniv\u2013 anniversary entertainment\u2013 I don\u2019t know what the hell that was, uh, without trial. (Musing tone) Seventh anniversary entertainment without trial. (Mumbles) Rhod\u2013 Rhodesia got by with its seventh anniversary uh, in uh, the Soviet Uni\u2013 in uh, their capital\u2013 What\u2019s their\u2013 Barely hanging on to, with no\u2013 no problems. Well, bravo to them, I\u2019m very glad to hear that.<\/p>\n

China\u2013 [tape edit] China moving on with her doctrine of Three Worlds, wooing that second world. Now I\u2019d guess you\u2019d say\u2013 no, Libya\u2019d be in the Third<\/em> World, although she\u2019s pretty rich. They signed mutual agreements. And China did not require that she break her agreement with Taiwan. So they are into the millions in trade and economic aid and scientific relations. Libya is very pro-African libe\u2013 liberation, because they\u2019re helping Chad and a number of places in Africa, so China could not be adamantly opposed to African liberation, or there\u2019d be no\u2013 uh, first time, too, they exchanged ambassadors and a whole uh, number of trade agreements broke out today. China is a wise people. However, if there\u2019s any damn way we can avoid nuclear war, but you heard Daniel Ellsberg, he said no, the whole damn scientific world says no. And I guess China is just gonna go right on with that policy, as you heard yesterday, when US and News World<\/em> [U.S. News & World Report<\/em>] reporter, rightwing magazine, you\u2019d had to say, watch out, China is still communist, it\u2019s as communist and more so in many ways than any other nation, and it\u2019s trying to get USSR and USA to fight it out<\/em>, so they can inherit the world. (Pause) Maybe they want to inherit the world, or maybe they want socialism to inherit the world. Whatever, it\u2019s a hell of a mess in a nuclear age.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia. Somalian troops have moved in to Ogaden again, with US backing, of course. No mention of any Chinese backing. Three hundred killed in the attack on the Ethiopians. Of course, we\u2019ll get more background as I go into Moscow news, just why it is that there\u2019s so much hell raised by the imperialist trying to get Ethiopia wiped out. Makes a very\u2013 uh, very good sense, when you hear Moscow\u2019s interpretation. Ethiopia and the USSR have worked out firm military agreements, shipping agreements, aviation agreements, they\u2019re putting their best jets in now. Soviets are stepping it up. They\u2019re not going to let Ethiopia go down the drain.<\/p>\n

Hundred and nineteen million dollar defense b\u2013 uh, billion<\/em> dollar defense bill passed by USA. Oh, shit. That\u2019s a lot of money that could go into helping a whole lot of people in USA, everybody could live in a mansion. But we\u2019re\u2013 defense bill, that\u2019s always\u2013 that sweet little capitalist world. What they mean is, napalm for babies in South Africa and in Rhodesia, and bombing our people all over the damn world that won\u2019t let them be l\u2013 themselves be robbed and kiss the ass of the robber thieves, the Yankees and their lackeys.<\/p>\n

Paris work slowdown at the airports, goddamn visitors to Europe are having one hell of a time, because these\u2013 this\u2013 uh, these unions are uh, having work slowdowns, you know the army has threatened them with jail, they\u2013 they can\u2019t quite prove work slowdowns, the goddamn airports are piling up everywhere, so even the rich US citizens cannot have a good vacation, \u2018cause every fucker\u2019s being held up at the wrong place, and some being trapped up in the mounts of\u2013 the mountains of Swiz\u2013 of\u2013 of Switzerland, and their ass is freezing \u2018cause of all of a sudden, they had a strange fluke of weather that\u2019s affecting CIA uh, not doing their job very well, they\u2019ve created a drought and then excessive flooding in USA, and some of their shit falls back on them. Well, at least uh\u2013 what you reap, you will\u2013 what you sow, you will reap.<\/p>\n

Rhodesia Nkomo, again uh, blasted out that uh, he will fight to the death<\/em> before he sees this damn government \u2013 he called it just that, this damn government of US imperialism \u2013 dominate Rhodesia. UN Special Negotiator for Namibia Mr. Abu Salay [phonetic], with [unintelligible name] agreed to further meetings because of the likelihood that there\u2019s gonna full-scale war in Namibia. Well, how many full-scale damn wars can we take in the damn world? The meeting with all political parties concerned, and they hope\u2013 they had hopeful satisfaction, whatever that means, that objectives might be reached in the future. Now that\u2019s very interesting indeed. Indeed, indeed. The generalities of the USA. South Africa is still\u2013 is against the resolution, they won\u2019t give up Walvis Bay, and even though the UNN\u2013 the UN did say they would get Walvis Bay, and the Russians and the Czechovak\u2013 Czechoslovakians stayed home and refused to vote for it because they said it\u2019s a whole damn ci\u2013 circus anyway. Probably is. Zimbabwe Times<\/em> four-man council cannot be trusted. It\u2019ll be uh, closed down too, I\u2019m sure, the Rhodesian Times<\/em> gonna get their ass busted for that<\/em>. Said that the uh, Ian Smith council cannot be trusted, but even now, they\u2019re having trouble with their Uncle Toms, (unintelligible word) said it is not honorable, it is not honorable the intentions, there is no intention, he says he feels now, uh, so does [Abel] Muzorewa, the Methodist bishop that the discrimination\u2019s gonna be ended uh, in the schools and the hospitals and the residential areas and in all the other places that I just mentioned. He said the white European population are going to be given special treatment, but the government says they\u2019re not trying to train them slowly to accept people of color. Muzorewa said he\u2013 said the whole damn thing is less than nothing, and he wonders why USA, who has been championing human rights \u2013 now this is Muzorewa, who\u2019s been an Uncle Tom sell-out \u2013 would give aid before Rhodesia cleans its house up.<\/p>\n

Sath\u2013 South Africa apartheid continues, multi-racial nightclubs, however, are given them a little trouble. Some of the youth uh, are (small laugh) comedians in nightclubs in Johannesburg, and the police don\u2019t quite know what to do right now during the tourist season, lot of Americans and other nations of the world are there, and they\u2019re all dancing and jiving at rock music. There\u2019s supposed to be no mixing of the races, but thus far these five nightclubs that\u2019re doing it have not been interfered with. As one South African said, you know the dollar talks. We need European money, and they don\u2019t quite like this racial separatism, and the white owner said of the business, of course the business not owned by blacks, that any black going in when racists are treated like they are in South Africa, they get one-twentieth of the wage and they have to live in reservations, concentration camps, and bear tattoo marks and passes, wouldn\u2019t \u00a0get in in the first damn place. But he said uh, uh, there are however the couples that don\u2019t dance with each other, but they\u2019re in the same place. As if that were some breakthrough. Now the Voice of America wanted to think that that was a breakthrough. I don\u2019t see much breakthrough with five nightclubs in one town. Johannesburg has a reputation for tourism, big business, and money. It can\u2019t live without tourism. So naturally they\u2019re gonna\u2013 put a little fringes on like they\u2019re not quite as bad as they are. And it is a little more liberal in most cities, it was that Johannesburg Star<\/em> that praised uh, Mozambique, its reporter, but next thing you knew, he was under house arrest, and uh, the house arrest means in South Africa and now US Supreme Court has upheld the same kind of a thing for USA, means that you can be permanently detained without trial. All right. Non-whites are not allowed on dance floors, however, in the major hotels. Of course. Restaurants desegregation will take place in certain places in Johannesburg, so Johannesburg council says, but not the major restaurants. They said that it is money doing the talking, even Voice of America admitted that.<\/p>\n

The Benguela Railway between Angola and Zaire, a subject of mention, it goes 10,000 kilometers, giving Zaire access to the sea through Angola. Norma\u2013 Normalization of relations not too good, maybe in one sense because the Katanganese in Angola, the world still be given sanctuary, will not be given support for any venture into Zaire. However, the former rightwing elements of Angola, who have sanctuary in Zaire, are also not going to be given any t\u2013 toleration for attacks against Angola. We will see how it\u2013 how it works out. It had been closed because of the breakdown, the war, you know, and so forth. It cuts off the amount of uh, time that Zaire didn\u2019t like Rhodesia, in spite of it being a rightwing puppet, and it was having to ship through Rhodesia, giving it profit. So this way the profit goes uh, more mutually to two black nations, one Marxist-Leninist, pro-Soviet, and the other a capitalist, strangely enough, under a strongarm Mobutu [Sese Seko]. The railway has connected all the mining regions to the ports, the minings\u2013 areas of Zaire. Zaire woke up, it got a little tired of having all of their minerals taken out at less than w\u2013 world market prices. But, Governor Wallace says that\u2019s just fine, because we must not let the middle class go socialist.<\/p>\n

Angola. Major (Pause) area of uh, profit to them from this east-west route will be in excess of 138 million dollars a year. Well, that\u2019s good. They got that from Zaire. Zaire, their copper will be gotten to the ports at a higher price than the imperialists were giving them, the lackeys, Belgium and France and USA and the multinational corporations or both. Vital to the economics of both. Angolan nationalist and Zaire uh, there was a bl\u2013 they uh, blew up the damn railway, uh, both sides before, but now it\u2019s been continually uh, and t\u2013 totally rebuilt. The rebels may continue to attack the railway, however, their fear on the Voice of America, terrible fear that it\u2019s going to work entirely on the behalf of the socialists, and that uh, Zaire is making an unwise move. What they\u2019re really saying is, Zaire is getting a little self-determination. The reopening of the Benguela Railway is however hailed by most other parts of the world, the socialist world, certainly.<\/p>\n

The Guinean president [Ahmed Sekou Toure] said (stumbles over words) coming to a growing end to isolation. A\u2013 We\u2019re reducing uh, dependence on uh, (small laugh)\u2013 Oh, I see what they\u2019re having now, the Guinean president, uh, no wonder they\u2019re after his ass, he\u2019s reducing his dependency upon European nations, he said he was not going to become dependent on the USSR, but believe me, there must be something in that. We\u2019ll get more from Moscow on that in a moment.<\/p>\n

OAU uh, summit, they were activated for the first time for the liberation of Africa. They\u2019d been more or less on the part of the western imperialists before.<\/p>\n

Monrovia agreed to ba\u2013 to buy different uh, things from Senegal and Ivory Coast, uh, and\u2013 and\u2013 and they\u2019re going to bury their differences. So that\u2019s working out. That would be more of a Western gain, in Monrovia, I\u2013 We\u2019ll need to study more about Monrovia, because the Voice of America kind of hails it, so you know what they hail is not in the interest of the working class people.<\/p>\n

Relations with the West on a upswing in that particular area. Well, that\u2019s\u2013 let\u2019s hope. (unintelligible word) increased US aid. Yeah, I expect so. Then they\u2019re gonna s\u2013 give \u2018em a little aid, make them think they feel good while they strangle them and rob their damn pants while they think they\u2019re getting a (unintelligible word) for a moment.<\/p>\n

South Africa applauded uh, Namibian independence plans, ostensibly, if it does not include Walvis Bay. Well, Walvis Bay, Namibia says, will not be given up.<\/p>\n

Robert Dorman condemns human rights violations in Guinea. Oh, uh, well, again we have to find out what the hell\u2019s going on in Guinea.<\/p>\n

Vance personal invitations to Washington by Carter. Both uh, accepted\u2013 that is, uh, leaders of uh, Israel Egypt, I think we\u2019ve been given that before. They\u2019ll be meeting at the lovely estate outside of Washington, Camp David, where there\u2019s been more sellouts than I\u2019ve got fingers and toes and sperm in my testicles.<\/p>\n

All right. Rescue operations styled are going to take different. Now they\u2019re gonna do some rescue operations in Rhodesia. I wonder what the hell they\u2019re talking about now. they\u2019re gonna be talking about same or similar rescue operations in other nations that are being threatened. Now, are they talking about Rhodesia, or what they mean by rescue operations, I can be assured is more mercenaries are being trained, as I brought out in the news earlier in the week.<\/p>\n

Now we go to uh, Radio Moscow.<\/p>\n

Geneva talks between the Soviet Union and USA and Britain, there is in view of the frightening danger of nuclear war, even a little agreement progress today on the ending of nuclear test. Won\u2019t make much difference in that China won\u2019t agree to it, neither will France, so anyway, it\u2019s some progress, says Radio Moscow. Delegations from the three countries uh, had initial exchange of seismic data. Oh, they\u2019re going to be some help to each other between those three on earthquakes that will becoming uh, more pronounced. Radio Moscow said there is question as to what the reason for this is. I would say the intonation was that maybe CIA had been doing some fucking with harassment that way.<\/p>\n

Thirty-third anniversary of Nagasaki, 280,000 were murdered by USA, because they didn\u2019t want the Soviets to get in there and help liberate uh, the Japanese people from the empire of Japan, and then they\u2019d had partial control\u2013 (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Uh\u2013 seven, eight times more population. Same amount of area, not uh, too many mountains, too many deserts. And the coast region is swampy and full of tiny islands with crocodiles and hippopotamus in the jungle rivers. Independence was gained October 2, 1958. It didn\u2019t become Marxist till later. When Guinea voted massively against [Charles] de Gaulle\u2019s dictatorial proposed constitution, under US auspices, the French withdrew from the former territory overnight. They\u2019d been backed militarily by USA, but they couldn\u2019t hold on. Not only did all French aid cease immediately, but within days, all French administrators, technicians, doctors, officers, teachers, and judges disappeared. They took all their records, uh, destroyed all the equipment that was there, unhooked the electricity and telephones in their offices, and sabotaged everything that they could. That\u2019s the way US imperialism works, and uh, Britain did here<\/em>. They sabotaged every plant before they left, and even removed the furniture and file cabinets. Guinean leaders moved into offices without a scrap of paper in them, and had to rebuild the country\u2019s records from scratch, establishing a new democracy upon no foundations at all. Well, that\u2019s what the hell\u2019s troubling the US, of course, always, they always act\u2013 When they start hollering human rights, you can know damn well that they\u2019re up to something, because if they were so concerned about human rights, they said they were so concerned about [Natan] Sharansky, as I said, then why in the hell didn\u2019t they give Sharansky\u2013 they exchange Sharansky and [Yuri] Orlov and uh, all that other, [Alexander] Ginzburg, who\u2019d been uh, convicted criminals in the Soviet Union for the Wilmington 10<\/em>, or anybody else. China\u2013 they had\u2013 uh, the Soviet Union got very, very agreeable.<\/p>\n

A beautiful story in uh, the uh, New Nation<\/em> about Chinese peasants in the ages, how\u2013 aged, how they\u2019re provided for in China. Chinese peasants need not have to worry. It shows a beautiful, uh, lovely, lovely center, and a pagoda, uh, typical peaceful surroundings, elder peasants, relax, there is the right to leisure after having carried out for years their own duty to work, their own communes are self-governed by themselves, they\u2019re provided for by the five guarantees of the communist system of China, the rural communes instituted to give them food, shelter, clothing, and medical care, plus burial expenses when they die. They\u2013 if those too weak to look after themselves choose to spend their sunset years\u2013 sunset years free from worries and cares and commune-r\u2013 run homes managed by themselves, they can go into city areas, but they don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

The home operated by the Nanyuam \u2013 A\u2013 N-a-n-y-u-a-m \u2013 commune is located in the quiet surroundings set amid vegetable gardens that are teeming in a Peking suburb. Here 71 elderly men and women live in several rows of brick and tile homes with porches, and beautified by potted flowers, the cost in running the homes are met by the commune\u2019s welfare fund.<\/p>\n

Most of the men in the home were penniless farmers\u2013 farmhands who could not afford to marry in the days before the founding of the Communist People\u2019s Republic. Some managed to marry late in life, but failed to have any children\u2013 any children. Having a house to themselves, are a 68-year-old man named Sun Wing Pei [phonetic] and his wife, now 74, whom he married just a decade or so ago. For many years, the old man had worked as a stableman in the production team until he retired because of old age. We came here when we had difficulty even in cooking meals, said the old man, as do the other inmates. Sun and his wife receive a little pocket money every month, though they have a bank savings of 5000\u2013 500 yuan, which they have no need to spe\u2013 spend, I guess, yu\u2013 yuan. Y-u-a-n, it\u2019s a form of money in China.<\/p>\n

Living next door to the Suns is a 78-year-old [unintelligible name], a talkative woman with a ready-ma\u2013 uh, smile always and silvery hair. An activist during the agrarian revolution movement in the early 50s, she was in charge of the daycare center in her production team before she came to the home six years ago. We aged people can now live in comfort under socialism, she said.<\/p>\n

Half a dozen workers have been assigned to do the cooking, washing and tailoring for the elderly people, they keep a vegetable garden and a small [unintelligible word] yard, the produce of which goes to supplement the diets of the\u2013 of the aged. They keep active because they want to, and it\u2019s good for their health.<\/p>\n

[You] Don\u2019t see any crippling people around. Three wholesome meals are served daily in a dining hall where the old\u2013 old people gather to\u2013 gather to watch television in the evenings in one common communal hall, like we have here. To make life more interesting, school children come to give performances from time to time.<\/p>\n

[unintelligible phrase] barefoot doctors they\u2019re called in China who devote themselves to the people, look after the health of the older people whose most common complaints are hypertension, arterial sclerosis, and heart ailment. The barefoot doctors [are] quite competent in the use of Western drugs. We\u2019re in a better zone of living for hypertensions, that\u2019s one of the things, because of the heat brings down that tension, and of course, there\u2019s somebody else that\u2019s got a little power, and uh, they use tra\u2013 also traditional herbal medicines. Complicated cases are referred to the big, very modern hospital in Peking.<\/p>\n

China takes care of their seniors in diverse ways. In the urban areas, old age pensions are provided for all people working in industry, government organizations, service trades, and schools. Childless pensioners who lose the ability to look after themselves can go to homes set up either by the government or factories. In the old days, thousands of old people without children, they died of starvation. A few made it by begging, but uh, just millions died by\u2013 of starvation. The elderly had no future before communism in China. New China has put on uh, an end to uh\u2013 a great end to that phenomenon. There is no hunger anywhere in China.<\/p>\n

Imperialism infiltrates the non-aligned movement. Then I shall close, this is the editorial of the uh, main paper of the PNC, our ruling party, the Peoples National Congress. It says the recently-concluded non-aligned foreign ministers conference in Belgrade was a clear reflection of the US imperialism\u2019s somewhat significant infiltration into the non-aligned movement. It is now left to be seen how the bitterness engrained\u2013 engendered will affect this year\u2019s summit in Havana. Against the background of embittered spoutings at the conference in Belgrade, the progressive countries skillfully outmaneuvered the divisive elements and emerged somewhat fairly united in resolve to tackle problems of the Third World in conformity with the declaration of the inaugural non-aligned conference held in Belgrade in 1961. This important news today. Take note of it. The issue that elicited widespread controversy was the assistance being rendered by Cuba to countries in Africa. Sone forces within the movement described such assistance as intervention and suggested that the venue of next year\u2019s summit will\u2013 will be switched to uh\u2013 for\u2013 should uh, be switched from Havana. However, that was voted down.<\/p>\n

By the way, we have interesting news that came also in from the government. We will not have to take any outside people into our schools. That was a breakthrough. No school in the in the history of Guyana has ever gotten through with that. We just need to have more time so we can integrate as we will. We have integrated Guyanese already, and we will look forward to it beautifully. But right now, we can\u2019t take in loud\u2013 lodging more outside uh, community members until we got our people to freedom.<\/p>\n

Particular attention was paid to the military assistance that Cuba is giving to Ethiopia, Angola and Mozambique. Apparently those\u2013 and now to Uganda. Who were opposed to the role Cuba is playing in those countries were completely<\/em> oblivious or didn\u2019t want to be made aware of the fact of the 1961 Belgrade Declaration which stated inter alia, whichever that means, i-n-t-e-r a-l-i-a, uh, that\u2013 that means uh, without exception, that support must be given to the people fighting for the right to self-determination and concerted effort to end all varieties of neo-colonialism and imperialist domination by capitalism. Well, that\u2019s pretty clear. That was the mandate, so Cuba\u2019s carrying on the mandate of the non-aligned conference. Paradoxically, however, said the Chronicle<\/em> editorial of The Guyana Chronicle<\/em> of our beloved Guy\u2013 Guyana and uh, PNC, our party, the Peoples National Congress under Dr. [Forbes] Burnham, all of the countries, paradoxically, that are opposed to Cuba\u2019s assistance to Africa and which are claiming that Cuba is not worthy of its membership in the non-aligned movement are in some way or the other contra\u2013 contravening non-aligned policies. Take Somalia, for instance. During the OAU, the Organization of African Unity conference, Somali\u2019s Siad Barre \u2013 B-a-r-r-e \u2013 told the gathering that serious collective measures should be considered to contain the Cuban threat to Africa. Siad Barre probably forgot the movement\u2019s policy \u2013 uh, that\u2019s his name, Siad, uh, S-a-i-d, uh, I\u2019ll call him Siad [two syllables] so you won\u2019t get it confused \u2013 Barre probably forgot the movement\u2019s policy of peaceful co-existence, which has declared since 1961. Had he remembered, he would not have s\u2013 blatantly invaded Ethiopia, a sovereign socialist state and a member of the non-aligned movement. Imperialist opposition led by USA to help bring uh, uh\u2013 to help being rendered by Cuba is an understandable development. They\u2013 Obviously imperialism wants to stop this, especially if one should scrutinize the situation in Ethiopia. And The Guyana Chronicle<\/em> does it bravely.<\/p>\n

There is a narrow strait which connects the Gulf of Aden \u2013 A-d-e-n \u2013 with the Red Sea in the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia and others, you remember the Horn of Africa. Oil traffic from the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal to Europe must pass through that strait. Strategists see control of these shipping lanes as a major goal<\/em> of Western imperialism, led by USA. Cuba\u2019s military assistance to Ethiopia, coupled with Ethiopia\u2019s reve\u2013 revolutionary socialist policies pose a direct threat to any imperialist instigative attack taking over the Horn of Africa. Cuban troops will have to remain, because according to reports, hundreds and hundreds of US military advisers and thousands of civilians are at present in Saudi Arabia, a country that supported the rightwing Somalian invasion of Ethiopia. Saudi Arabia has already negotiated the sale of 60 F-15 jets from the USA. These jets are capable of flying without a stop for refueling up to 900 miles from their homes bases and back, thus able\u2013 enabling bombing and attempt to destroy Ethiopia. Military analysts see the sale of these jets as a result of a concerted plan to hold back the process of revolution in Africa and in Ethiopia particularly. This apart from policy interest in the Middle\u2013 Middle East. Imperialism is totally against socialism in Africa, said the editorial ofThe Guyana Chronicle<\/em>. Socialism in Africa immediately bars further exploitive investments in that continent. It also transfers the means of production from the hands of the capitalist into the hands of the people. Opposition to the so-called Cuban threat is tantamount \u2013 that means equal to \u2013 opposition to the peoples of the respective states. The only Cuban threat is the threat to US imperialism and its lackeys. Third World countries should not allow narrow emotional attitudes to influence their position within the non-aligned movement. At this period of world history, in the article written in The Chronicle<\/em> by Roy Alexander Cush, whoever he is, C-u-s-h, we should try to find out. At this period of world history, when revolutionary forces are coming together and creating a solid front against imperialism, it is necessary for the non-aligned movement to develop into a vanguard, a front line, of the world revolutionary forces. Sanctions should be leveled against all anti-progressive forces within the movement, because unless this is done, imperialism\u2013 uh, Western imperialism, that means US and its allies, as strong as it is, would succeed in destroying a movement that is very much needed in the struggle for Third World countries to achieve a just world economic order.<\/p>\n

Guyana made an important breakthrough, by the way, by s\u2013 uh, si\u2013 signing a Amazoni\u2013 A\u2013\u00a0Amazonian treaty that involves Surinam, and uh, Brazil and Venezuela, all of her border states, uh, for economic development, mutual economic trade. At the same time, she\u2019s cleverly protected herself from any intrusions from those who have made uh, claims on her territory, if you know what I mean. So this is a pretty wise country. Let us hope it keeps on its course. It\u2019s certainly speaking in sharpest terms that are favorable to socialism that I just gave you.<\/p>\n

That will end the uh\u2013 ending the news. There was another beautiful article on ju\u2013 how beautiful Soviet justice and the right of defense works, as well as they carried this lovely article on the uh, communes in China. Young Socialist Movement of Guyana sh\u2013 ha\u2013 is hailed for new discipline and new work demands. The editor of Young Socialist Movement organ calls for unity in struggle of all socialists in the world against US imperialism. [It] Talks about socialization, education in the uh, schools that will be implemented this year. More about the non-alignment brigade and how they res\u2013 must stand up to condemnation of NATO and its movement\u2019s interventions in Africa, in the Zairian province of Shaba, where French and Belgian paratroopers backed by USA killed Africans, as in the days of [Rudyard] Kipling, intrigues against the two Yemens and the uh, [unintelligible name] add to the picture of increasingly aggressive imperialism in the developing world. That\u2019s another article in The Guyana Chronicle<\/em>. Today\u2019s critics of Cuba have in one way or another joined in these ventures of the Western bloc led by USA, whose purpose is to extend the sphere of its influence. Understandably at the Belgrade Conference, they could not lay hand on any other method of self-rehabilitation than an attack on the true<\/em> adherents of the policy of non-alignment in its genuine anti-imperialist sense. The pro-Western lobby inside the movement, as well as lobby sponsors in Washington and Bonn \u2013 they are really getting sharp \u2013 all of a sudden become greatly concerned for the ideological purity of the movement. This found expression in such actions as, for example, the demand that the sixth summit conference should be held, not in Havana but elsewhere. Bravely, the Third World non-aligned nations refused to be intimidated. The overwhelming majority of the Belgrade meeting saw in the attack on Cuba an attempt to disrupt traditional links between the non-aligned movement and the socialist world, but such cooperation, it was pointed out at the conference, has long proved beneficial to the sovereignty of the members. It has been socialism that has protected the sovereignty of Third World nations and non-aligned nations. And it\u2019s also been socialist movements, says the Guyana article, that has aided in the social and economic progress of developing nations. We cannot allow worn Afghan minister \u2013 you w\u2013 know they recently had a revolution that went pro-Soviet \u2013 Afghan minister H. [Hafizullah] Amin at Belgrade non-alignment to be turned into a closed bloc opposed to the socialist countries, and will not.<\/p>\n

So, Con\u2013 uh, and then Korea hails, uh, (stumbles over words) the North Korean government hailed the referendum as a move towards socialism, in that they\u2013 it carries a article of Kim Il-sungpraising it. It also carries a beautiful<\/em> article on the bloody struggle for survival in the Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea, how USA had\u2013 and Ja\u2013 uh, Japan and all the imperialists had just simply tortured that nation nearly out of existence, but they have now built one of the most modern socialist states in the world.<\/p>\n

Uh, I cannot uh, see uh, anything else of any interest. It\u2019s very, very pro-socialist this time, this late\u2013 the last news we have, brought in yesterday, uh, bought from the paper. So I think that will end the news of the days. The commentary taken to interest, the Guyana history, the Mozambique history and the uh, Guinea history that is uh, important that I just gave you, and the history of Korea.<\/p>\n

I think I would like to give you one last thing, and that would be about Guadaloupe. I\u2019d like to find out where in the hell Guadaloupe is, uh, in term\u2013 I wonder if it got anything about that, it\u2019s so small, uh, and try to find in the almanac. Be sure that you uh, spend your time studying tonight, that one tape that\u2019s being given, it\u2019s uh\u2013 you must pass it, you pass it, you will not have five extra days. Arrange for the extra class for those\u2013 (tape edit) If there\u2019s an educational TV that\u2019s decided, you may give them part credit for that. Tomorrow we may have a special television, or, if people studying properly, Friday, I may give a special uh, television study, because we learn through the visual and the spoken. I uh, don\u2019t seem to be able to find Guadaloupe, but let\u2019s look up and see if we can\u2019t learn more about that brave little island that spoke out so strongly<\/em> and has its major city, uh, uh, communist mayor, that is uh, a bit much, that\u2013 but encouraging, would you not say. I would say so. Anyway. (Pause) I know<\/em> they must be some mention of it somewhere, and I\u2019ll find it in time, I gather. I hope that we have ideas for progressive change in our community, how to make money, how to uh, save, I hope that people will try to listen, acquaint your ear to listen, it\u2019s not easy for me to talk, you know, it\u2019s not easier uh, for m\u2013 for me to talk these days. So I hope that you will be respectful to try to listen.<\/p>\n

I would imagine I will find Guadaloupe, and I did. It\u2019s only just a paragraph. Size is 687 square miles. My, my, what a brave people. Lord Jesus, that\u2019s uh, about a hun\u2013 a hundred sixty times smaller than Guyana. Population, though, is half that of Guyana. Shows how much we should be thankful for having such rich, fertile land. They have 350,000. Two main islands and several small islands between the British Leewards and the Windwards in the eastern Caribbean. Guadaloupe became a French overseas department in 1946, theoretically equal in status to mainland French departments, once (tape fades for several seconds) states that Guadaloupe has come under criticism from islanders who maintain that they are still considered second-class citizens. Economic troubles and racial unrest have been dealt with only gingerly by France. When Algerian independence was achieved, many of the officers most involved in the North African repression were then transferred to the French West Indies, another cause for complaint. Now this is older. They must\u2019ve gained their independence someplace along the line. I can\u2019t imagine the French imperialist allowing a communist mayor to speak out as boldly as that one did in the Guadaloupe delegation to Cuba.<\/p>\n

Thus ends the reading of the news. Let\u2019s work while we uh, go to classes now, and uh, if you can sew, you can quilt, [unintelligible word] members need to take class, some of the better people in the world just need a little help with the extra classes. Name them off, and uh, remember movies will be shown according to your taste tonight. It\u2019s a free night. But I would advise you to use it productively, as all of the socialists are being advised in Guyana. That\u2019s what they\u2019re advising. Prime Minister Burnham said we ought to work 16 hours a day gladly, to be sure that we keep our freedom from imperialism.<\/p>\n
