THE

mm
ERIC
NICOL
In
one
of
my
rare
out
outbursts
¬
bursts
of
temper
this
week
I
am
cross
at
China
Yes
Red
China
When
I
get
sore
I
get
sore
big
The
main
charm
of
Red
China
to
me
has
been
that
the
government
was
mono
monolithic
¬
lithic
There
was
old
Chou
and
there
was
old
Mao
and
theirs
were
the
only
names
you
had
to
remember
You
could
also
tell
them
apart
Mao
was
the
one
mostly
under
water
According
to
the
latest
news
reports
this
agreeably
simple
structure
Is
splinter
splintering
¬
ing
fast
RedChlnaspolltlcs
have
become
as
unstable
as
rife
with
rival
factions
as
Africas
or
South
Americas
or
lets
face
it
Cana
das
We
are
hearing
names
like
Liu
Plao
Lo
Julchlng
and
Peng
Teh
hual
Party
mem
members
¬
bers
are
jockeying
for
posi
position
¬
tion
because
the
leaders
are
old
and
cant
last
much
longer
The
teenagers
have
turned
hooligans
burning
and
looting
Good
grief
we
may
as
well
read
the
local
news
For
a
person
like
myself
who
on
some
mornings
has
trouble
recalling
the
name
of
the
party
rising
from
the
other
twin
bed
these
new
names
from
China
spell
dis
disaster
¬
aster
I
once
made
a
spe
special
¬
cial
effort
to
memorize
the
names
of
all
the
dictators
of
the
South
American
re
republics
¬
publics
believing
it
tobemy
duty
as
a
Journalist
to
be
informed
and
within
a
month
half
oftheperishershadbeen
shot
or
sent
into
exile
South
America
showed
no
willing
willingness
¬
ness
to
co
operate
Today
I
am
unashamed
at
being
able
to
name
not
one
South
Ame
American
¬
rican
strongman
My
ignor
ignorance
¬
ance
is
state
supported
Now
De
Gaulle
there
is
a
strongman
with
dur
durability
¬
ability
He
doesnt
have
to
swim
down
a
river
to
prove
his
stamina
He
made
his
point
with
water
when
he
walked
on
it
People
all
over
the
world
are
grateful
to
De
Gaulle
for
his
demonstra
demonstrations
¬
tions
of
immortality
In
a
discussion
of
international
affairs
his
is
the
one
name
we
can
recall
aside
from
President
Johnson
and
you
know
whats
his
-
name
in
Ottawa
The
struggle
for
succes
succession

sion
In
Red
China
on
the
other
hand
gives
pleasure
only
to
the
professional
analyst
of

There
is
a
breed
of
journalist
who
is
handsome
handsomely
¬
ly
paid
to
appraise
us
of
new
sources
of
confusion
They
are
the
ones
who
sug
suggested
¬
gested
that
old
Mao
was
walking
on

supported
by

Folks
in
Dritish
Columbia
look
at
their
unem
unemployment
¬
ployment
figures
from
a
slightly
different
slant
than
folks
in
other
parts
of
Canada
As
one
economist
put
it
the
unemployment
rate
here
reflects
the
boom
so
many
people
come
here
looking
for
work
because
they
know
DC
is
prosperous
At
the
moment
It
would
be
hard
to
refute
the
theory
At
last
report
DC
had
an
unem
unemployment
¬
ployment
rate
of
four
per
cent
which
was
slightly
above
the
national
average
and
well
above
the
levels
in
Ontario
and
on
the
prairies
It
was
also
12
per
cent
above
the
10C5
level
At
the
same
time
the
DC
econ
economy
¬
omy
has
been
showing
moderate
to
whopping
gains
in
every
seg
segment
¬
ment
but
one
housing
starts
Dy
numbers
unemployment
increased
by
10000
on
the
year
but
employment
increased
by
48000
which
is
not
to
be
sneezed
at
If
memory
tells
us
that
DCs
unemployment
rate
also
runs
on
the
high
side
of
the
national
average
in
time
of
re
recession
¬
cession
it
tells
us
there
is
a
logical
explanation
for
that
too
If
a
chap
has
to
tramp
the
streets
looking
for
work
theres
some
something
¬
thing
to
be
said
for
doing
it
in
relative
comfort
of
the
climate
of
the
lower
DC
mainland
or
lower
Vancouver
Island
rather
than
say
Winnipegs
famous
corner
of
Portage
and
Main
In
any
event
theres
no
doubt
that
DC
Is
still
booming
and
that
the
main
factors
are
growing
markets
on
the
US
west
coast
and
across
the
Pacific
Here
is
a

of

12

2G

Inflation
has
come
to
DC
as
it
has
to
other
parts
of
the
country
Dut
an
interesting
de
departure
¬
parture
here
is
that
the
con
sumer
price
index
for
the
City
of
Vancouver
stands
about
six
points
below
the
index
for

It

It
Is
also
a
matter
of

that
