Five thousand Chinese work- ers and technicians are en- gaged in this project, which will cost China over $250 mil- lion - money she could ill af- fo rd but apparently expended for the propaganda effect among the other developing countries in Africa. China also has invested pri- marily in road construction, as in Nepal and West Pakis- tan, which she hopes will be of strategic importance. In India, t he antipat y against China has resulted in the Soviet Union being the "golden boy." Russia now en- joys the major share of trade with that country. In Iran, the Soviet Union has signed a long-term agreement which has boosted its mutual trade four-fold over the previous three years. The leading cus- tomer for Iranian goods, Rus- sia has succeeded in almost excluding China there. During Sukarno's regime, there was a great amount of economic rivalry between Moscow and Peking but, with the change in regime and the contempt for China, Moscow has capitalized on this situ- ation and supplied a great d1ml of funds for Indonesian key issue ~~.)~l'J#,f.'fl.ten ad ade ru Peking lies m the fosterln~ of the revolu- tionary role m the develop ng countries.

Murder of the Innocents

tween the Soviet Un1o and Red China that could result in eased tensions along their common border, it is not like- ly to represent a general rap- prochement. Moscow and Peking will contmue to compele fiercely for economic, and particular- ly, pohtical mlluence in the lcss-develo d countries of Asia and Africa. In the past few months there have been notable ru- mors of the resumption of some diplomatic and trade relations between the two Communist giants. A very virile individual, V. S. Tolstikov, has replaced the less useful Russian represen- tative, V. V. Kuznetsov, as ambassador. His appearance in Pek ng seems to have led to some form of agreement across the Sino-Soviet border. However, it is not likely to unfreeze the deep-seated hos- tility that exists between the two countries. Figures are the best evidence of the riv- alry in the economic and po- litical spheres in Asia and Af- rica. In 1960 the Soviet Union ex- ported goods worth $1.4 bil- lion to non-Communist coun- tries against China's $600 mil- lion. By 1967 Red China's ex- ports totalled $3.3 billion against $2 billion from the U.S.S.R. Already the closing of the gap is most significant. A fur- ther example is that China's t ade with Japan is ex- panding, being over $700,000 in 1969. China did little or no trade with Japan in 1960. China lags lar behind the Soviet Union ill economic and technical a,d to the devel- oping cow1tr1es. China's con- tributio in 1968 mounted to almo t $900 million, which is 1 6 of the figures or the oviet Union, but Chma' contribu- tion was used clu Ive y to further Peking' political aims, particularly in Pakis- tan, Neplll, Afgharustan, Cambodia, , Yemen, Tanzania, Z mD a, Somalia, Togo and Gumea.

The Voice of (In)experience There was a minor demonstration about parietal visiting (girls calling on boys in dorms) at USD this week, in the form of a road block by students along Marian Way. I asked one road blocker how he reconciled his act with freedom for others, as the block was breaking the laws of the campus. His reply: "They (the administration) are breaking the laws of nature." Ho hum. Education's a wonderful thing. Ponder Padovano I don' t know if Father Anthony Padovano originated this phrase, but he used it when he spoke recently in San Diego: " The human heart cannot be fulfilled unless it is exhausted." Certainly worth pondering. Talking of theologians , you may find it interesting to know that the articles which appeared in The Southern Cross by Father Francis Wieser on the subject of divorce, remarriage an<:! the sacraments are to be reprinted in the quality Jesuit monthly "Catholic Mind." Wanderer Returns When I published that picture of Father Benjamin Carrier on the SS Ryndam sporting the start of a beard it was with slight speculation that it might be true. Now he has returned from his campus afloat to the campus ashore at USD, truth is evident, as seen in my picture.

The disclosure from Los Angeles of dumping aborted fetuses on public trash dumps is one more indication of the sheer degradation of the whole miserable abortion business. Not only is there this insensitive, indiscriminate disposal of human flesh, but the attitude of authorities in many parts of this nation is cold to the disgrace of it all. At a UCLA School of Medicine symposium on abortion recently the statement was made by one pro-abortion- ist that fetuses could eventually be disposed of for use as "industrial by-products." This, in very plain and ugly language, means, to be used as fertilizer. Another euphemistic;; coverall for the murder of the innocents, 20th Century style, was given by pro-abor- tion U.S. Sen. Robert Packwood (R-Ore.) He gave a telephoned address to the conference and referred to the need to get away from the word abortion because it is unpopular. He said legislation coming along would refer to the need to "reduce infant mortality and maternal mortality" - by abortion. " Reduce infant mortality"· - by killing the infants before birth. Packwood, incidentally, expressed his disappointment at his legislator colleagues who secretly are in favor of abortion but scared to come out openly and say so. It's up to us to make them even more scared, by reminding them of Bishop Maher's warning that anyone supporting this legislation signs his political death warrant. We are the only people who can deal this blow to We hear a lot about the New York City slaughter by abortion, \mt California is producing some statistics which are equally shocking. Figures indicate that for the first six months of 1970 a total of 24,531 California style legal abortions were performed. Double that for a year you come up with an annual s laughter of 50,000. In those early days, when the abortion promoters were selling the idea to a gullible public they used to talk of a possible 5,000 therapeutic abortions a year. It was 5,031 in 1968, 15,339 in 1969 and, as I have just indicated, probably 50,000 for 1970. Will we see it triple again for 1971 to 150,000 a year? Who Has Abortions? Mere figures of abortions do not tell enough of the story. Who has need for this "therapeutic" medical "care?" During 1969, 58.4 per cent of the women who had abortions had never been married. And it was the first pregnancy for 55.4 per cent of them. Girls 15 to 19 years old were the " patients" in 22.9 per cent of the cases, with 2.2 per cent girls under 15. Women between 20 and 29 years of a ge had47.6 per cent of the abortions. It would be very interesting indeed to know how the medical practitioners decided all these ·cases were "therapeutic ." How many were solely for the purpose 11:, couraging promiscuity- and paid for by tax dollars? We have to be quite frank about this: abortion is definitely s een by many doctors and· their pregnant patients as just another form of contraception. Human life cheap? Never more so. The battlefields of Vietnam are nothing compared to the holocaust in the abortion business. Nature Hits Back? All are agreed that the psychological effects of abor- tions on women are not to be ignored. And what is the physical toll on a very sensitive female system? I Perhaps the answer is indicated by medical reports from Hungary, where abortions have been freely given for years. Now there is a very dramatic increase in the incidence of deformed births, closely correlated to women who have had previous abortions. Nature's incubator is a very precious and delicate instrument. We tamper with it at our peril. • 1 1 a .;:, pro-abortion politicians. Rising Toll of Life

erful political and economic interests unhappy through its class action lawsuits in behalf of the poor. He said the Nixon adminis- tration backed down in uphold- ing the Reagan veto and "poor people feel stabbed in the back." The future of legal services for the poor now depends upon public opinion and the Nixon administration, he said. Independent Agency Sought Reynoso said he hopes the Nixon administration will take all such legal services, including CRLA, away from the federal Office of Econom- ic Opportunity and place them under the adminis- tration of an independent, federally funded corporation. That would remove legal services from "asinine politi- cal pressure," Reynoso said. He said he believes Presi- dent Nixon, who is a lawyer, and other highly placed White House off' ials realize the value or le al services for the poor an w1 to escape from polil!c2. pressures like Reagan's veto. CRI got intq troul)Ie with Rea an by suing th state gov- ernment in behall the poor to req · e the Rea adminis- tration o comply with state law, Reynoso said.

Cruz Reynoso, director of the California Rural Legal Assistance program, said here yesterday Gov. Reagan was "cynical" and "less than truthful" in explaining his veto of the CRLA poverty grant. "He wasn 't honest enough to say ii was because of his own political philosophy," Reynoso said of the governor. "We're doing just what the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity told us to do. If the governor disagrees with Congress, I wish he'd argue with Congress, not with us ." Reagan 'Explains' Veto Reagan said he vetoed CRLA's $1.8-million annual U.S. grant in December be- cause the agency violated federal regulations and failed to represent the poor ade- quately. The Veto was upheld in Washington, but the Nixon administration promptly ex- tended CRI A s l fe by issuing another six-month grant. Reyno~o spoke to Jaw stu- dents at the Universty of San Diego. -'"'Tolitical Interests' Cited He said the poor should be given the legal resources to air their grievances and ob- tain justice in the courts.

His luxurious beard is his happy trademark as he strolls the campus again. Whether it will remain is in the lap of the gods, as they say . His experiences afloat and ashore around three continents have left him enthused for the mission of Christianity and very much better aware of the problems facing the Church from Rome to Rio. Maybe soon we will be able to pin him down long enough to get a full story out of him.

The same night I caught a plane to New York about midnight, seeming anti-climatic after the moon walk. Last week it was breakfast and the moon, as Alan Shepard stepped out into the color television view. At least he's the first millionaire on the moon among e first half-dozen men. It all seems to be rather a bore to many of the younger generation, · surprisingly enough. It is the older people who stay glued to the TV under spacewalk spell.
