1973-74_v14,n10_Chevron by Editor Imprint

With 130 people enquiring at the housing office, still looking for a place to live while at school, there were only 83 listings-left on the offcampus housing list. That was the picture at 4 o’clock on Wednesday aftern,oon, one which does not offer much hope- of the situation ironing - itself ,out ‘before next year. A comparison between the figures over the pastthree years shows a marked drop in the number of beds available from 1972 to 1973. Last year, 1,146 _householders listed rooms with the housing office providing beds for a total of 3,233 students. This year these figures had dwindled to 946 householders with 2,869 beds. H.C. Vinnicombe, the Director of Housing for the university, attributed the drop to a number of factors. , With the recently incorporated ,-Ontario tax credit system used in the calculation of income tax for those renting out part of their , I homes, there is -a possibility of increases in income tax. Consequently a number of people who had rented rooms to students in previous years havechanged their minds and have taken their names off the housing list. Vinnicombe also- cited <he ~ change in the apartment situation as another factor contributing to the general lack of room available for students. Last year, in particular, apartment houses had . trouble filling all of their vacant units, and were far more conducive to- renting to students than they have been this year. As far as those students still seeking accommodation, Vinnicombei did not seem overly-‘ distressed with their predicament, maintaining that of the rooms still left on the housing list; many could_ be considered of reaspnable quality. In discussing the s&ration of a student looking for a room, he described many of the householders - renting space as people generally over forty, having room left vacant by the departureof sons or daughters. Wishing to have a student come into their home, often hoping that they will fit into the family environment, they have fairly rigid ideas of the person to whom they wish to rent. When a student visits a home still listed with the ,housing office, and the people find that he is drastically different from their men&al picture of the prospect&e .>

tenant; he might find that ‘the room is already rented.” Stressing * a point that Keith Dewar had made last week while working in the federation’s housing office, VinXcombe suggested that the ‘appearance of a student Ghen going to see a room often has- con, siderable bearing on the success of his efforts. Dewar had politely told a number of people -to him for help last would have better luck after a shave and a bath, regardless of whatever “one’s thing may be.” Before the term had begun all beds in both villages had been spoken for. With-24 “no-shows” to be distributed tuesday the housing office held a lottery to Pass thei space out to students still wanting to get into residence: However, with room for only 2,229 people in ‘the villages the majority of students who must relocate to come to school must look %ff campus for a place to-live. With a loss of 364 beds since last year, and the dropping off of 177 people with 379 beds from this years list, one looks towards next years off-campus housing situation with a certain amount of foreboding. In terms of students there has not been any appreciable . increase in the number of people looking for places to live this year over last. The problem has- been \ limited ‘to the lack of available space. If nextiyears registration is accompanied by any- kind of increase-in students one hesitates to predict the-depth of what could be. a considerable housing crisis. e’ -john

The Federation of Students is a corporation and as such can act as any other incorporated body. It has a Board of Directors, and Executive Board and a Student&’ Council. Every full-time student at the University of Waterloo pays a fee of $22. It is not a refundable fee. With this money collectedusually around a quarter of a million dollars-the federation tries to provide the students with various services that they feel could be useful or entertaining. The federation council is made up of elected representatives from each faculty : 0 five arts 0 five math-three regular, one co-op,> and one summer 0 five engineering-three regular, and two summer (? four scienc,e-three regular and one co-op 9 three environmental studiestwo regular and one co-op l two physical education-one regular and one co-op 0 one integrated studies 0 two graduate o one from Renison College m one from St. Jerome’s College The representation is divided up among the various groups on the basis of faculty enrollment. No faculty may hold more than half the seats on the council. The federation has also divided itself into boards that turn their attention to a particular area of the student life such as education, entertainment, grievances, external relations, publications or cooperative services. These boards are chaired by a member of council. The chairperson receiyes $200 per term for the job. Extra help is provided by other students interested in working with the federation. Usually the federation president, elected in the early spring, is the only paid member. He receives $390 per month. However, this summer four other students were hired until the end of September to ease the work load. Unfortunately, the extra manpower seems to have done little to alleviate the problems the federation was facing. The success of the organization depends upon the dedication of the individuals involved and their interests. The actual powers of the federation are severely limited by the Senate and the Board of Governors-the governing bodies of the university administration. They are also restricted by the number of students that have shown interest in the organization. Many students regard their federation fee as a tax they must pay in order to attend this university and perhaps rightly so. Any services or entertainment they might enjoy throughout the year appear as pleasant surprises, neither expected nor demanded. --susan

In other council news, it was revealed that administration issued an ultimatum to the federation, that, either it clean up it’s concerts or face a permanent ban on them. This directive has given with only a day and a half notice to the federation in advance of the Lighthouse concert. According to federation entertainment chairmen Art Ram, a fair amount of litter is dropped down under the bleachers and with

trampling themselves to death because of a fire. Ram plans to counter this situation with a forty-man crew, called the Smoke Patrol. Their job will be to pick up litter and inform people that their smoking is not welcome. Shane Roberts, another council explained the delicate rep, situation, saying, “ We are dealing with a different culture, a different people that are used to breaking the law as a way of life. If you press them too hard, you can expect a violent reaction.” It was decided that the federation would do all it could to warn people not to smoke or drink in the - building. However, the concenstis is that the individual student, through their actions would decide the future of concerts. Also during the meeting, it was revealed that a student telephone book will be printed. September 19 is the deadline for getting your name in the book. It will be revised every four months and advertising will be sold to help defray the cost. Finally, council approved the following Ontario Federation of Student resolutions’ presented by the federation’s external relations chairman Shane Roberts l The campus press be given complete autonomy from student government control l That efforts be made in next f&l’s orientation programes to inform students of the programes and activities of the OFS-FE0 0 That an orientation programme be in no manner degrading to the students involved ‘rn All decisions on academic appointments be made by committees, of which no fewer than fifty percent of the members are students l That student governments work towards assuming complete control of appointments and-or elections of students to positions on committees in post-secondary institutions at all levels l That member organizations of OFS-FE0 encourage a united student voice on governing bodies of post-secondary institutions through the formation of a permanent caucus of representatives or senates and boards of governors and central student governments. m That they push for fifty percent student membership on all governing councils and committees l That board of Governors, which

A few council members balked at what they felt were radical demands and wished to add their own qualifying phrases at the end of most of these resolutions. Their fears were allayed by Telegdi who explained that there was little chance that these resolutions would ever get past the OFS-FE0 policy book. One might wonder why they bothered at all. -mike

hike Guelph ’ (CUP&The University of Guelph Graduate Students’ Association is demanding that the university make up for the substantial increases in graduate students’ fees. The fees are rising this year from $485 to $877 and the Guelph University \ administration says that it can do little-to offset the increase. Guelph administration mFesident, W.C. Winegard suggested that fact&ties ~ho&EZXXX$ ->in their teaching budgets on the assumption that graduate student teaching assistant’s salaries would be raised. Hequalified that by sayis the raise in salaries’ is a matter’ for the provincial government. ’ The Guelph Graduate Students’ Association is asking the university to guarantee that their members “be supported at a minimum level at least equal to the maximum allowed by the Province of Ontario for his or her category”.They are also calling for full remission of tuition in those semesters in which they render services such as teaching% and tasking that graduate students presently registered sustain no increases in tuition fees. Winegard did agree to establish a committee ‘fto review and investigate graduate student funding and support levels at U of G and all other universities in the Province of Ontario.” The Guelbh graduate students feel the tuition fees increase is “in complete opposition to the ideal of education for all; as many tmdergraduates, already hindered with debts due to undergraduate fees, will be unable to enter grad school.” Also, many students now in graduate school will be forced to leave. Many graduate students believe that inevitable discrimination on the basis .of income wil lead to a lowering of academic excellence of Ontario graduates This discrimination against the lower income groups will inevitably lead to a future elite in Ontario of ‘-the children of the wealthy. Also, if Ontariograduate students are forced to leave because of the restrictive tuition fees the universities will have to hire even more American students as professors. The Guelph graduate students are attempting to mobilize other Ontario graduate students to pressure the government to make life financially( easier for them. .

I find it difficult to-read. the university as a comprehensive whole but rather as a series of isolated elements. Buildings are ‘fait accomplis’. The church colleges’, for example, are ‘complete units unto themselves as physical ‘units. ’ Other buildings are specialized: the biology building is for biologists; the chemistry building is for chemists. What are you when you step outside? ‘What do you share? I suppose the campus centre should ideally connote the strongest image as it proposes to be the single locus of student life.-But whatever its image might be, my guess is that it is not uppermost in one’s mental picture of the university. Because the programs and nature of study at the university have created a way ‘of life that is multi-centred in character. Many students take classes in several. different buildings during the day. Depending on their schedule for a given day they might use any one of ‘sever,al eating areas, discussion place’s, reading rooms, libraries, lounge areas. The Campus Centre then serves simply as yet another focal pointlounge, eating area, reading _ etc.-rather than acting as ‘the! focal point, and .thus it diffuses even more whatever community , spirit’ ‘exists without it.

If one{ attempts entry, a loud alarm wi indeed sound and several uniforme guards will beg:in running at you. Some - greeting. I saw this happen one day to a small foreign lady. The other bridge leads to, a door that one can enter during certain hours. One proceeds past a guard at a desk and through a turnstile. CThere is a shelf for books at the door which says: “Pers,onal property left at your own risk.” Who would -dare use it? Such is the Arts Library experience. It becomes difficult to- understand a library in the image of a fort with an army. It becomes! d’ifficult to see education simply in terms of a number of security problems. 1n general, an’ increase ‘_ in theft is accompanied by more stringent measures. As buildings become more ‘burglar proof’ they become less liveable. The. solution, in short, becomes more unbearable than the problem. , ’ : Another image that might logically . come to mind is the main entrance. Traditionally the idea of entrance8has long been associated with celebration. _Some cities and towns have gates that might be, . stone pillars, or lanterns, or a landmarkfor which that tit is famous, and perhaps a welcome sign Y or two. The Canadian National Exhibition which started as a . large fall fair now has fabulous entrance gates. Even a residential entrance provides amenities for a small scale celebration: \ shelter (porch), light; usually a .fairly elaborate door in comparison w&h other doors in the house, perhaps a lobby or entrance hall, a closet to relieve oneself of it is one’s coat or that of one’s guest-a polite th.e amenity. But consider the image of the

relation to the overall campus. Since considered that this s building -is physical embodiment,’ of a role which ‘cannot be played by any other building in the campus complex, it is .of first importance that ‘its‘ design be such that it contributes, and manifests through its appearance the character. and atmosphere of the university. Report of the’ Special Campus Centre ‘Study Committee, University of Waterloo, March 1971: . . . .the Campus Centre becomes identified with oneculture to the exclusion of all ‘others; where large segments of the campus are inhibited from coming to the building; where the sense of community breaiks clown. The building that visually dominates the campus most completely (obviously the designers of the university intended it so) is-&e Arts Library. Perhaps-,we should then consider w$at image it might hold for the student or citizen/newcomer. It is a large, square, centrally located building, slightly raised, that looks out in all directions through small (machine-gun size?) windows. It is surrounded by a dry moat. To enter one must cross one+of two bridges. One bridge leads, to a door marked: “Warning-Opening door sounds alarm”. ,

main entrance to this university (University Avenue): a large illuminated sign, and a small glass and steel guard house. Like a parking lot? A munitions factory? “All vehicles entering campus not reeistered with university must stop at kiosk” (not, pleasemust). I “Vehicles are towed awayif not parked in parkinglots.” All security images. Other images might-be the Humanities Building, whose several-storey brick facade overlooks University Avenue; the South Campus Hall which overlooks the entrance with a predominantly brick facade as well. Or the huge new Psychology Building-“the latest in fortress architecture”. Or the Math and Computer buiId.ing with its white mullion ‘blinders’ and its entrances which are at least three times human scale. All fortresses. Presumably the designers of this university must conceive ,university education as one big security problem-. I question whether a university’s prime concern is to address itself first and foremost to the issue of security. Presumably the prime concern for the university’s built form would be to. provide

\’

with a planned network fo%r enlightenment. Its buildings, walkways, a?td grounds shouldconstitute an evocative and stimulating environment whidh above all is educational. Yet, as one strolls the university -grounds, I think that one must admit that the university is, at first glance, not very Except for the billboards, informative. there are very few clues as tq the life that is going on inside. If it wei;en’t for the building signs I’m- sure the newcomer would be lost. Does Engine&ring I look like engineering experiments are carried out inside? Does M & C look like a place for math and computer studies? ‘Does the Arts Libcary look like a library? Well maybe you could see some of the books through th& windows on the first floor. And the bookstore gives itself away. And so does the Mechanical Services building. But few oihers. There are many useful student services that are completely hidden. There is a bank, a post office, a barber shop, and a campus shop underground at the Campus Centre. I wonder how long it takes frosh, on the av,erage, to discover thcrn? There are many other aspects of university life that continue invisibly. There are firstclass noon-hour concerts in the Social sciences building. One floor b’elow, sets are being prepared for upcoming In the engineering building productions. concrete cylinders are being tested and wind tunnel tests age underway.

In high schools the negative time I think one thing that has caused this thinking leads to sterile corridorsway of life is an idea in our modern apparently they are not to be considered cultural thinking which I shall refer to as educational because th_ey are part of the ,-the negative time myth. Positive time is negative time environment. A, subtle the time spent in production-in office, attempt is beirig made to make one feel plant or school-the time spent doing guilty that one is not off in a classroom work. Negativee time is the rest: travelling somewhere being ‘productive’. time, walking time between buildings, Similar to high schools; but on a larger coffee breaks, lunch hours. The thought is scale, this university’s negative time area that this non-productive time is not as is a system of- mostly outdoor, passively important or as meaningful as positive landscaped paths.

The Essential Stalin: Major Theoretical Writings, 1905-1952; edited with an introduction by Bruce Franklin /New york: Doubleday) 1972.1, 511 pp.

There can be no question that,‘whatever may besaid about its cost, Stalin’s policy in the countryside resulted in a vast, modern agricultural system, capable for the first time in history, of feeding all the x people of the Soviet lands. (p. 19)

by Paul Breines This volume consists of an extensive introduction by Bruce Franklin and some four hundred fifty pages of Stalin texts including: L “Marxism and the National _ Question ,” “Dialectical and Historical ’ “Foundations of Materialism”; Leninism”, Marxism and Linguistics”, “Economic Problems of Socialism in the U.S.S.R.” and a number of shorter, topical pieces. Franklin’s* essay is a veritable hymn to Stalin, portraying him as one of the greatest revolutionary leaders and Marxist theorists of the century. The idea. and practice of ‘socialism in one country’, the collecindustrialization tivization and strategies, the purge trials., the diplomatic and ‘mil,itary strategies from the mid-1930s through 1953 are all unstintingly defended. Defended too is Stalin, the man, the allegedly authentic son of the toiling masses, whose ene4mies from Trotsky on, according to Franklin, have all been “aristocratic intellectuals’;~ anti-communists or FBI agents. The front cover displays a typical ‘socialist realist’ painting of the genius at his desk, smiling warmly. The back cover offers an en- . thusiastic billing by the publisher, Doubleday, who considers all this some i kind of ground-breaking achievement, which it is. \ -The book, in short, is _a lulu. To conceive. and put it together, consciousness had to plummet to its ab-e ’ solute nadir. In fact, we have here something more than merely a case of what Josef Weber once called “the law of dwindling force of cognition in bourgeois society:” with The ,Essential Stalin we have an assault on cognition itself. Franklin, a former spokesman for the ‘New Left’ in the t3ay Area and now for the Stalino-Maoist Venceremos’, a breakaway grouplet from the “Revolutionary Union’, appears to have the requisite equipment for the task: a fl.air for the idiotic as ,well as the fraudulent. Consider the following examples which,. while presented out of context, are nevertheless. exemplary of the whole standpoint: .

Lt is hardly surprising that evidence is one ingredient lacking in Franklin’s accou’nt. And- it is not a matter of evidence for formulations such’ as those above being hard to find; Stalinists have never had difficulty proving anything. The point is that evidence is superfluous in yiew of Franklin’s and his predecessors’ epistemology: anyone who contradicts us is a ‘Trotskyjte’ or what amounts -to the same thing, an anticommunist or Nazi; therefore, what we say is true whenever we are contradicted and because we are contradicted. This is called the ‘class standpoint’. ,There are, . however, passages where Franklin lapses into gestures. toward the historical record. D-iscussing Stalin’s role in the October Revolution, for example, Franklin assert-s that Stalin consistently sided with Lenin against the “aristocGtic intellectuals” in the Bolshevik Party who opposed the ‘April Theses’ and the call for insurrection. Among the latter Franklin refers to Zinoviev, Kamenev and Rykov, citing John Reed’s Ten Days that Shook the World as documentation of their attempt to subvert Lenin’s plans on the very eve of the actual insurrection. And he goes on to suggest that this was sufficient grounds for Stalin’s destruction of those three f3olsheviks in the 1930s > purges.

Subtle development of the historical materialist method: If the condition of the Soviet people was much better when he died than when he took power, he cannot have made their lives worse’. (p. -6) _ : .

Incisive historical reinterpretation: Sharp critiques of sectarian myths I used to think of Joseph Stalin as a-tyrant as his 1927 essay on China i’ncluded and a butcher who jailed and- killed in this volume shows, Stalin very ‘early millions, betrayed the Russian outlined the basictheory of the Chinese revolution, sold out liberation struggles revolution.

Even today I have trouble saying disillusioned Communist sympathizers, the name “Stalin” without feeling a bit - particularly intellectuals, in ’ the sinister.-But, to about a billion people capitalistic nations, was actually one of today, Stalin is the opposite of what we - the most brilliant strategic moves of in the capitalist world have been Stalin’s life, and perhaps of diplomatic programmed to believe..

But that criti’cism must begin b>y facing the facts that an anti-Soviet conspiracy did exist within ‘the party, that it had some ties with the Nazis, who were indeed preparing to invade the country, and that one result of the purge was that the Soviet Union was the only country in all of I urope that, when invaded by the Nazis, did not have an active Fifth Column. (p. ‘29) Critical realism -blended with sense _ of historical tragedy: . .

keen

This is a real freak-show. As anyone who wants to can learn, Stalin l did not\ support Lenin in 1917 but long after created the myth of himself as Lenin’s ‘clpsest comrade-in-arms. While Stalin did norside with Zinoviev, Kamenevand Rykov, it is also a matter of record’that, following their betrayal, for which they were expelled from the Bolshevik Party, they were welcomed bat-k into the ranks by. Lenin and, indeed, later assisted, Stalin in his own rise to power. Moreover, John Reed’s book, to the Russian edition of which Lenin wrote an enthusiastic preface in 1919, does not mention Stalin at all-so significant and correct was his role in the revolution. -And, according to Roy Medvedyev, the book was banned by Stalin for that very reason: possessing it was an unofficial crime during the 1930s; and it was not reprinted until after Kruschev’s ‘secret speech’. Of a piece with Franklin’s revisions‘ here is his happy-go-lucky claim ,that “Trotsky was nominally the head of the Red Army” (emphasis added). The fact was, according to Franklin, that .Trotsky consistently bungled everything and had each tim-e to be bailed out byStalin, the true military and organizational genius of October. Somehow, this development eluded the otherwise t3olshevik eyes of John Reed. t3ut it also eluded Stalin in 1918, when he wrote as follows in Pravda in November of that year: ‘The-whole job of practical organ’ization of the insurrect ion was under the direct leadership of the Chairman I of the

Petrograd Soviet, Comrade Trotsky. We can say with certainty that,.for the rapid movement of the proletariat to the side of the Soviets and 4or the skilful, constant work of the Military-Revolutionary Committee, the Party is obligated first and foremost to Trotsky. Comrades Antonov-Ovseenko and Podvoiskii were his chief assistants.” (Quoted in Roy Medvedev, Let Elistory judge, p.37). Needless to add, Stalin was not exactly giving top billing to this article a few years hence. Nor does it find its way into Franklin’s anthology. The prefatory comments accompanying .the Stalin texts fit nicely into these overall, analytical distortions. The first major text in the volume is “The Foundations of Leninism” (1924); it is dedicated to the “Lenin Enrollment”, which Franklin explains (p. 90) as follows: “When Lenin died, the Party was opened to workers dedicated to carrying on his heritage. In this Lenin Enrollment, almost a quarter of a million joined the party. Stalin dedicates his work to them so it cansserve as their guidebook to the principles of Leninism.” Others, such as Victor Serge, were capable of askihg the obvious question at the time. Reporting a conversation with Gramsci in Vienna, Serge mentions that “we consulted together about the quarter-million workers who had been admitted at one stroke into the Russian Communist Party, on the day after Lenin’s death. How much were these proletarians worth, if they had to wait for the death of Vladimir Ilyich before coming to the party?” (Memoirs of a Revolutionary, p. 186). Nor, in connection with Stalin’s “Foundations of Leninism,” does f ranklin find it worth noting what commentators from Trotsky to E.H. Carr have taken a certain interest in, namely, that in the first printing of the pamphlet Stalin speaks of the Russian Revolution as only the first phase of global revolution, the development of which is essential to the survival of the Bolshevik victory, while later printings, which Franklin follows, delete that thought and replace it with its opposite, the idea of ‘socialism in one country’. There is at least one matter from “Foundations of Leninism”, however, on which we can agree both with Stalin and Franklin. It is the penultimate sentence, which reads: “The com*bination of Russian revolutionary sweep with American efficiency is the essence of Leninism in Party and state work.” Franklin’s note on Stalin’s “Report to the Seventee‘nth Congress of the C.P.S.U.,” to cite another instance at random, states that “the Seventeenth Party Congress [Wintei, 19341 represented the consolidation of Stalin’s line on all major policies. Stalin’s opening report to the Congress is obviously a document of enormous historical significance.” This was evidently obvious to the 1,966 delegates attending the Congress. Not so clear to them and not so conducive to the notion of Party unity is that some 1,100 would be executed, on direct or indirect orders from Stalin, over the next several years-this according to Conquest’s The Great Terror and Kruschev’s ‘secret speech’. If these seem obscure points-we contend they are, rather, indices of a gross overall distortion-then not so obscure are Franklin’s notes to a July, 1927, Pravda article by Stalin on Chinese events. We are told, and this much is accurate, that the piece was written in the immediate wake of Chiang Kai-shek’s massacre of Chinese Communists and. workers in Shanghai and Canton. We are naturally not told that Stalin, in connection with his struggle with Trotsky, sacrificed the Chinese revolutionary movement to Chiang’s forces, which had imbibed a good dose of ‘American efificiency’ courtesy of Cornintern military and political training schools. Nor are we told that it took months before the Stalin-directed Comintern so much as

Chiang’s

coup

in China.

Franklin simply moves happily forward,claiming that “just as Stalin here Chiang’s “betrayal” opened new argues”, possibilities for revblution in China. As proof, Franklin refers to the fact that “a month after this article appeared, Mao Tse-tung led the Autumn Harvest Uprising and created the first units of the Red Army.” The clear implication ,is that Stalin was somehow Mao’s guide in that situation. If one checks any but Stalinist accounts, the following is clear: first, the Cornintern knew next to nothing of Mao’s work in the Hunan countryside prior to the fall of 1927. Furthermore, Mao was in fact dropped from the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, which was still controlled by the Cornintern, for his allegedly ill-advised leadership of precisely the Autumn Harvest rising. Finally, Mao’s peasant strategy was expressly rebuked by the Cornintern executive for its moderation toward the rich peasan ts, that is, for its pro-kulak tendencies. The truth is that for all its unmistakeably Stalinist features and rhetoric, Chinese Communism under Mao was from the start a heresy which Stalin accepted only reluctantly. Such -a ,thought and its implications, however, lie this side of Franklin’s fantasy world. To conclude these selected notes on Franklin’s fabrications, his notion of post-Stalin leadership in Russia deserves comment. Ostensibly following the official Maoist position on the question of Stalin and his successors-the Chinese fictions are at least more subtleFranklin argues that, on Stalin’s death in 1953, the Russian party fell into the hands of a revisionist clique which has since heaped calumny on Stalin and initiated a capitalist restoration. This conception is a morality play which has nothing to do with either Marxism or morality. The ‘capitalist restoration’ in the Soviet Union predates not only Stalin’s death but his seizure of power in the mid-1920s. But the perception of the post-Stalin ‘revisionist clique’ is really macabre. Like their anti-communist counterparts in the West, they expend great energies, according to Franklin, to ‘keep from the Soviet people a true picture of Stalin’s great, socialist achievements. Yet, he “according to all accounts, continues, the great majority of the Soviet people still revere the memory of Stalin, and bit ,by bit they have forced concessions” (p. 1). One wonders how this can be made

to fit with actual recent developments of which there are at least some accounts: namely, the officially sanctioned revival of Stalin in Russia today; the rampant spread of classically Stalin-type repression there and across Eastern Europe; the continuing ban on texts critical of Stalin written by Soviet intellectuals and workers and, most recently, the ban on public mention of the, concentration camps of the Stalin period. In fairness, it should be noted that Franklin does attribute a fault to Stalin: in his alleged struggle with the bureaucracy, Stalin failed to mobilize a “mass critique from below’ a la Mao’s “cultural revolution”. But this lapse is seen as a product of the objective limits of the Russian situation rather than Stalin’s subjective limits. In the overall scheme, then, Stalin is seen as the legitimate and organic heir to Lenin while Mao stands as, first, Stalin’s disciple, then as the perfect master. The best that can be said of this is that it will make a Trotskyist retch, it will bring a smile to the lips of an anarchist. The list could be continued but for the moment there is neither the need nor the space. More pressing are these questions: how did a book such as this happen and what is an adequate, overall response to it? Is it a matter of one man, Franklin, and a neo-Stalinist sect having gone off the shallow end or do we have here a larger syndrome that has only begun to emerge? If it is too early to tell, it is also worth recalling at the outset ihat when it becomes an issue of the American Left’s capacity to think critically, there are precious few grounds for dptimism. Franklin himself provides a capsule account of the genesis of his position: it is the familiar trajectory from ‘New Leftism’ to Third Worldism, with a twist. “For me as for millions of others in the United States, it was the Vietnamese who forced a change in perception .” This led Franklin to the Chinese Revolution and Mao’s thought and practice, which contained “the guide for my own thinking and action.” From there it was apparently a short hop to Stalin. This process, Franklin recounts (pp. l-5), entailed the realization that figures such as Ho, Fidel and Mao were not “tyrants and butchers” but “dedicated servants of the people”. Simple? Hardly. “At some point I began to wonder if perhaps even Stalin was not a ‘tyrant and butcher’. With this thought came intense feelings that must resemble what someone in a

mr w

tribe experiences when violating a ’ taboo .” What seems to be happening here is something that at root is not peculiar to Franklin but is, rather, the shared experience of many of us. This is the sharp dislocation of historical identity that issued from the disintegration of the New Left movement of the late 1960s. One response to this continuing crisis has been retirement to hermetically personal identity; another, taken by Franklin, is the leap out of history into the cosmic, which may take the form of Stalin’s memory and the billions of Chinese, Albanians an.d Koreans who allegedly continue to revere him, or the Majara’ji Sat Guru and his legions. Poof! The living and fearful tensions between past, present and future vanish into thin air. In fact, there is no sudh thing as a flight from history and Franklin’s is no exception. His turn ‘to Stalinism is not merely a shamelessly false overcoming of the defeats and internal flaws of the New Left; it is an authoritarian backlash against it. In this connection, Franklin’s rediscovery of Stalin a?d Stalinism is of a piece with the ‘silent majority’s’ rediscovery of Nixon. The antiauthoritarian movement of the 1960’s appears to have unleashed a counterrevolution not only without but within itself. Appropriately, the reaction is .crystallized in two Golden Oldies from the early 50s. The couni!er-revolutionary thrust of Franklin’s position is apparent in everything he says, but its clearest index can be found in something about which he says nothing, and for just that reason. Actually, Franklin says nothing about many things, such as the concentration camps, the famines of the 193Os, Stalin’s anti-Semitism, and his great admiration for such revolutioary figures in Russia’s past as Ivan the Terrible. It could not be very comforting to be in a political organization with anyone who could ignore these themes, presumably as ‘Trotskyite’ fictions. But a still more striking and decisive lapse is the fact that in an essay on Stalin written in 1972 by someone involved for over a decade in the radical movement, not a word can be found on the situation of women in Stalin’s Russia. Anyone interested in adequate accounts of the “sexual counter-revblution” and the bureaucratic manipulation of women in Russia from the late 1920s on can consult the writings of Trotsky, Wilhelm Reich, or among the recent feminist accounts, those of Kate Millett and Sheila Rowbotham. The point is that today one would assume great interest in precisely sue h questions. What can be assumed about utter disregard for them? We can assume that if books such as Franklin’s indicate the spread of ideas such as his, then we have a battle on our hands. In .certain respects, it will be a repeat performance of earlier conf I icts between libertarian communism on the one hand and Leninism and its Stalinist outcome on the other. There are reasons to hope that the results this time around may be different. Meanwhile, if developing and disseminating critiques of Stalinism is in fact emerging as a key task, it is a sad commentary on our situation. But better too early than too late, as was the case with Trotsky, who nevertheless defined the task well: “How man enslaved woman, how the exploiter subjected them both, how the toilers have attempted at the price of blood to free themselves from slavery and have only exchanged one chain for another-history tells us much about all this. In essence, it tells us nothing else. But how in reality to free the child, the woman and the human being? For that we have as yet no reliable models. All past historical experience, wholly negative, demands of the toilers at least and first of all an implacable distrust of all priveleged and uncontrolled guardians” (The Revolution Betrayed, pp. 159-160). -reprinted

agree to Prince Sihanouk% return to Cambodia in exchange for Lon Nol’s departure ’ “for a prolonged holiday in the United States,:’ ’ on condition that the ebullient prince, .currently the guest of Peking, would no longer wield any real pow,er.) The broadening of the ruling clique would be accomplished through the. reintegration into _Government circles of the two “fathers of the March 1970 revolution,” who subsequently went over to the opposition pa.tiies. One is Sirik Matack, formerly Prince Sisowath, descended from the branch which is the Norodoms’ traditional rival for the- Cambodian throne. and head of the Independent Democratic Party; the other is General In Tam, former President of the , National Assembly and’ leading figure of the Republican Party: Phnom Penh appeared to obey the American ’ orders. When In Tam, on, February 5, -conditionally accepted the post of spe@al advisor in charge of working on national reconciliation, it j was generally thought that’ Sirik Matak too would not be long in rejoining the Government. He was offered the post of Vi&e President of the Republic. He made it known that he would accept it if he were guaranteed the support of ‘the’ ’ principal leaders of the army, - the ’ National Assembly and the Senate-in short; he demanded full powers (in the absence of Marshall &on Nol- he. would; in fact, have been left in charge of the Republic). However, it seems unlikely that he will get what he wants,’ at least for the moment .*. . . With the exception of General Sosthene Fernandez, the major military tleaders all belong, “we are assured, to the “Lon Non clan,” and although Lon Non faces strong opposition within his own party, he has managed to win the @port of a majority of parliamentarians (because the opposition parties challenged the legality of the last- legislative and senatorial elections I and refused to participate in. them, the SocialRepublicans hold all the seatsin the two houses, which is certainly in the traditionofth&%Qngkum *party under the Sihanouk regime).’ General Sirik Mat&‘s participation seems all.the more uncerta’in in that on February 23, In ‘Tam (who had meanwhile been repudiated by his bwn party) tendered his resignation: the cornmission he had just received fulfilled none-of the conditions hehad laid down (a-sum of five million riels to be allocated to him for official expenses; a building in P-hnom Penh, a batallion and a neutral zone r to be made available to him for his interviews with the “.other side”). We met with him the day after his resignation. An old man, slightly crippled, he received us very simply in his drawing room, where just the day before hehad been talking with representatives . of the resistance 2 ‘ from Kratie,. Stung Treng, Kom/ pong Thorn,” he told us. He declared: In my opinion, the point of our struggle in the preservation of the people. But the Marshall sees the problem in -military terms; he has given priority to the army. I have gradually.been shunted aside. I am called on regularly by the Marshall, but each time I find myself stripped of -any real power by his entourage. The fighting must cease and the problem be taken to the people through elections. ,In the meantime, a dialogue must be established with Cambodians of all tendencies. There .are many men of good will, but they have-no power. . . . Sihanouk should remain abroad for a while y-et; his presence would .make it - difficult to accomplish the important changes necessary here. p But isn’t this just a ,sugarcoated version of the regime’s perennial theme song- that “Khmers can work everything out among .themselves if they’re just left alone “? How can one believe it_ when the Khmers of the republican regime don’t even seem capable of ove%oming their differences, their cqnflicting interests, in order to be \ in a strong position for eventual negotiations with the other side? One of those numerous. intelleetuals “of good will”-who, because they had had such high hopes for the regime, are all the more disillusioned with’ it now -gave us his-own interpretation: “What is this regime built on? On foreign aid. The AmeriCans hold us at arm’s lei?gth, no illusions for them. What is the reality of this regime. $ A struggle among ‘clans and a return to medieval obscurantism.” “You know ,” this acquaintance had, told us a little earlier, “our leaders ‘honestly believe that there is a dragon raging about beneath Phnom Penh. To keep it calm, on the advice of the Marshall’s wizards, with red, --__ they had covered dust the blacktop road near the Palace, the one Sihanouk would have to take on his return.

Both the army and the police are discontented, to be-sure, but whatgeneral will take the responsibility of turning his ’ batteries against his colleagues ? The hypothesis of a military coupe d’etat-. does not seem likely in the foreseeable future. The men in power, moreover, .are on the> alert, for storm signals. Hasn’t the only man who might be capable of really challenging them just seen half of his troops placed under the.command of the Marshall-which is to say, under the command .of the “little brother”? This man is General Norodom Chantarangsey - Norodom as in <Sihanouk, his 8longtime enemy,, whom he resembles and whom he likes to im-itate in this daily behaviour. In the region of Kompong Speu, ,west of Phnom Penh, t this aristokrat of -the Republic has carvedbut an autonomous fief, about 45 kilometers long and 15, kilometers wide, on which about IOO,OOO peasants live. The countryside is rife -with-banners bearing

A barb.aimed at GeneralSi?ik Matak, to ’ whom, however, he is said to be quite close? A determination to preserve. his fief under one form or another, under ‘one label or another? -Whatever the case, he is certainly someone to be reckoned with; to us, however, he seemed too cautious a man to place himself too hastily in t-he line of fire. _ Norodom Chantarangsey is far from* the only - one to be preparing for the future, to be keeping his options open. In fact, no one knows how things will go. T.here is -a deep-seeted,feeling in , the Republic that the solution lies not in Phnom Penh, but in various foreign. capitals-or in the resistance, Curiously enough, General Lon Non , joins Prince Sihanouk in anticipating a third Indochina war. For the former, this_.would almost guarantee a new lease on power. “The American pressure on us must not be exaggerated ,I’ Lon Non, a brisk, dapper man of fifty, told us, caressing his mustache as he spoke. “The Americans have experience in Southeast _ Asia and I think they are sick\of it. They’ simply want to help us, for they are very welI aware t&at our country and the entire area is going to become a stake in the dispute between Moscow and , Peking.” Well then, will Lon Non be the SoXiets’ man against the Chinese? If one has heard the caustic remarks. the Soviets make in private about the “little _ brother,” such a \ supposition seems laughable. But haven’t contacts taken place- on several occasioris-over the last year between the XGeneral Minister of the Interior and diplomats from the overflowing Soviet embassy? These diplomats, it is true, are very active in both camps, and they appear to be. very well informed. No doubt they have hopes of scoring another point against the Chinese in this part of the world. But they seem to have little chance of gaining the upper hand in Cambodia. Their’ attempts to create a “third force” -have not been very successful. In any case; they, are scarcely optimistic about the development of the internal situation in the country. “No settlement before at least the end of the year,” one of them told us. It is true that this assessment ‘fits in nicely .with their ,own desires, in that they do not anticipate that Prince Sihanouk will return to the country and therefore believe that time is on their side: isn’t it -rumoured in the Republic today that in the resistance, the Khmers Rouges avoid tnentioning the Prince, that there -has- been a complete., bre#&etween the nominal ;hwd of FUNC and GRUNC (Royal.

-These , coercive measures are being accompanied by last-ditch attempts to set-things in ’order’ on. the -political and social‘ levels. But ap- c pearances aside, since our &it to Phnom Penh .’ ’ there has been no fundawental change in tihe situation. In fact, it has steadily become worse. Rather than risk a generalized offensive, which is still premature(although there are some indications that such an offensive is now being, consider&d for the not-too-distant future), the ,, guerillas-using what resources they have and, as the A&%&can o&cials on the spot noiiv acknowledge, without the direct support of the -/ - Vietnamese mentor-are w*g a war df aattrtion, a long-term offensive. It’s not fQr nothing * that Prince Sihmo$ and. his entourage are . tintinually repeating that ’ the Cambodian ._ resistance has en*ugh supplies in reserve to hold them for at least three years. . . Phnom Penh, it is _ “will fall like’a ripe mango said in these,circles, when the objective and subjective conditions have matured., Our visit showed us that this had not yet happened. However, the slow, progressivestrangulation of Phnom Petih, much to the alarm , of members of the Government, has ,beeti contim@g to make itself felt in very explicit ways- __various sorts of restrictions, gasoline rationing, ;increasing supply problems-which canypt help but contribute further to discontent and &rest. Neither the air-lifts-a pointless exercise! -nor the attempts to patch things up p&&ally can do any godd. Th@ all-potierful American embassy (now serving as the targeting center for air strikes) initiated a-shak&up of sorts by getting General. Lon Noi;l, the “little brother,? to step out of the _political ’ limelight, -and by putting a new leadership &am in power. The choice-of names . held no surprises: General +sowath Sirik Matak; -_ , General In ,Tam; itirmer President of the Republic . and ex-prisbn superintendent Cheng Heng; and ’ finally, Marshall Lon No1 himself-who, as the old saying goes, is a little more “equal” than the others _ _ . The .avowed aim of this maneuver is “tb make the government more representative”; it is hard to see how that could be the case, since not one of these men can reatiy be considered at &ll representative of the Cambodian people. It is true, however, that American interests are better represented. .. But this is not the crux bf the problem. The crux of the problem is theAmericans’ illusion that they can force the enemy to come to terms. There _ is a strange verbal crossftie going on here. The Cambodian patriots ceasedlessly affti their c determination to fight &ntil final victory is won, yet they offered to enter @o negotiatipns for an American bombing halt; Washington . rejected their offer, yet still claims to favor ieiotiationsbut only under conditions which are to it’s ad‘vantage. In fact, the United States is clinging to the illusion that it can turn the balance of power I in its favor any time it wants; hentie, along with increased military intervention and an attempt at f‘political house-cleaning” parallel efforts have I been made to revive that Loch Ness monster of 1 American policy in Indochina: the third force. _ The Americans seem to think that they can artifi&lly create a neutral force;- a so-rt of phantom third partper, in Cambodia, while pres?rvingand iq order to presei-ve-whatever they can. Yet all the evidence (and fist of all the consequences of the Americans’ own chosen mode of intervention) seems td point 80 -a hardening _ in the guerillas’ position, to a conviction on their part that each day brings them closer to the l$osp&t of a complete victory: why should they ,/ g&e up today what tomori-ow will be theirs to carry off without striking a blow? Instead of being persuaded by this evidence -’ md considering its _implications, the United -\ States is continuing with. its destruction and its intrigues. But in fact, the ‘Americans’ long-term interests, properly understood, ought to induce them to come to terms right away, if only for the purpose of checking this radica.liit,ion, this growing political -intranFigence, among the . guerillasa phenomenon which we caught a glimpse of from the Government zones and whichis part of a who& hi&or&l logic.’ What we are saying is in no way disproved, whatever it may appear on the surface, by by the “historic” encounters between Prince Sihanouk and the leaders of the Khmer resistance. The Per$agon and the White Hous;? have been ’ -deluding them&lves all along abotit the Cambodian problem. The “red prince” was not that I“aly of the communists,’ he was portrayed to be in ihe myth used to justify intervention in Cambodic* if he is now, it is essehtially Wash&ton’s doing. - In fact, bT delaying.Sihanouk’s return to power as long as possible, _ -Washington is m+sing out on &s--big historical ~a~~ !~ I ii~~ ) o~~~~~~~: / ~u~,r’is :it~ ~~d~~~ anyway? ,

The KitchenerWaterloo area is unique amon-g Ontario cities in ‘that it has two farmers markets. The mos’t well-known market is the Kitchener Market. It has recently moved into the parking _ lot of the new market build&g until the n’ew quar’ters are built. Unfortunately, the ‘smell’ and. sounds of the old market are gone, never fo be experienced again. * The -food and the people are still ‘ there but the atmosphere is not the same. This can -be +noit noticed during the Saturday murket when swarms of tourists-cummarketers swell the ranks qf the regulars. Get your cameras ready and take a picture of that Menn$pnite lady, kids. There is an alternative to the ‘touristy Saturday market.J It can be found at the junction qf Weber and Albert StTeets. The market here is more ’ relaxed and ( almost ha(f the size. However, it is teen+ing with bargains. W,here e1.y can -you ‘buy a box qf cantalopes. .for 50 ,centsT A number qf food services are also there to r&enish the energy lost tramping around the stalls, . Weber Street is a market *for people to- ~eet-.-&90@e.. This -,. Saturday, head &p north to see the ‘bther” market. ’ r

to * spot their receivers. The Warriors pass attack was also under stress. The Gryphon defence contained the Warrior running *battack well enough to allow them the luxury of double coverage of our receivers. On kickoffs, the Warriors were losing instead of gaining yards. Two costly fumbels set up Gryphon scores and punts by the Warriors were not long enough to allow adequate downfield coverage. The team obviously had a bad case of first-game jitters. (Their exhibition game against Humber last week can be discounted; Humber was operating under the same strain as Waterloo was on Wednesday.) Waterloo was outplayed by’ a team with a smarter and stronger quarterback, a solid running attack, a well-co-ordinated pass offense and a defense with all the poise necessary to allow them double coverage. The Gryphons may well be the best college team - in Western Ontario. They certainly have the <players, the coaching staff and. the drive to be champions. The Warriors. will have to mature very quickly to salvage the optimistic 500 season predicted by Coach Wally Delahey. , I

Two teams the Warriors meet ., later this season met in the OUAAfootball season’s opener last. Monday. WLU came out on top of a 95 decision with McMaster ’ in Hamilton. I The game, which showed’seven . fumbles in the first quarter atlone, settled down to a defensive battle for the next three. When the Warriors meet’ Mat they will find a much improved Mat defense that picked off two passes and recovered two fumbles. Despite the low score Mat has an offense that shows promise. Quarterback Dave Lawson completed 11 of 24 passes, six of nine in the fourth quarter. Five passes were tipped out of his receivers’ hands while two others were intercepted. Ron Southwick caught nine passes while the other two went toTwin City native Ross Tripp; also the topiMac rusher. , M/LU played their normal physical game grinding out nearly ’ 250 yards on the ground, much of it by rookfe Chuck McMann. This _ . year Hawk offense lacks the explosiveness of last year’s team. Sophomore quarterback Gord Taylor, a Waterloo native, was two for ten in the passing department with two of these passes dropped c by his own men. The WiU defense played punishingly but without the abandon that got’ them to the college bowl last year. They have a weak pass rush but are strong on the ground plays. Wally Parker, whose interception touchdown proved to be the winning edge, was very tough all night. The Warriots will have to be % _ stingy on defense and explosive on offence to beat these two teams. But that’s what you need to beat anybody right? ,
