PRESIDENT REAGAN ATTEMPTS LllCAGE M SOUTH AFRICA Soviet! Perspective: IAT..JULY11.1M1 TKECA?.CU:aTl$-13 Reagan Budget Represents start Of Attack On Rights . By Laura Parks A preposterous trial balloon has been floated by the Reagan administra tion, namely; that Nami bian 'independence is somehow to be made dependent on the internal affairs within an already independent . nation, Angola.' The ascending balloon, ' filled with the hot rhetoric of VTinkage," glitters with particolored assump tions ; about Namibia, Angola and southern Africa, if not all of Africa ' itself. These monumental- - ly absurd assumptions, manufactured at the "Linkage" laboratories, have no other purpose than to stall for the . longest possible time any - and all serious interna tional negotiations for the peaceful transfer of power to Namibia's black ma jority. In this the Reagan ad ministration is proving to be an apt pupil of British colonialism and it's shameful thirteen year record of "small print diplomacy" of totally unacceptable proposals, which it knew would be re jected by the then battling Patriotic Front in the former British colony of Rhodesia, now Zim babwe. High among the pro posals is the proposition that Angola, now in dependent but formerly a Portugese colony, form a government, with Jonas Savimbi, a man selected by the "Linkage" people to play a disruptive role in Angola, similar to the disruptive role played by Muzorewa in Zimbabwe. In addition Angola would be asked, as the price for Namibian freedom, to jet rid of the troops of it's Cuban ally. Here it should : be pointed out that the ; presence of the Cuban troops in Angola resulted from massive South African military incur sions, from Namibia, deep into Angolan territory "destabilizing" the newly independent , Angola republic. - The raids became very costly for South Africa, ' largely due to the Cuban ' ; presence. Incidentally the iVLinkage'' proposal does . not guarantee that South . Africa. 'would not attack ' Angola again . in the 6 future, if notby land then ; from the air andthe sea. Then comes aViece of J naive arrogance W the type which ' frequently makes world leaders wince, and wonder about American diplomatic and political skills in dealing with complex: interna tional issues. The .., "Linkage" theoreticians 'believe that Namibian in dependence can only be won "thru us" and that African leaders must be made to realize this. Here the basic assump tion is that nations of Africa are so poor that they would surrender Namibia to a South African inspired in dependence in return for "American economic aid. Apparently the ad ministration feels that Africa has forgotten all about the invisible ; shackles of neo colonialism. The administration must have also forgotten the deep world wide dislike for racist South Africa, which could erupt into all manner of domestic and interna-, tional protests if the freedom fighters of Namibia decided to defy " the worlds of South Africa .and the neo-colonialists. and strike out on their own road to freedom. And then, of course, there are the Cuban troops, and the Nigerian troops and the promised help from the newly victorious fighters of Zimbabwe and who knows from what other quarter help may come. In any event Namibia would not stand alone and theoretical postulates of "Linkage" would even tually be tested on the harsh anvil of world realities, rather than on the soft foggy-bottoms of our newly ordained policy planners. Finally an attempt is be ing made, and this most seriously, to convince the world that South Africa will surrender Namibia . provided the Western powers recognize South African concerns for her property and white minority in Namibia. In addition, the United States would come out openly with declarations of friendship, however muted, ' By Raymond H. Boone NNPA Foreign Correspondent MOSCOW The drastic cutbacks in social programs in the ; United States represent only the beginning of Reagan Ad ministration "attacks on the ; hard-won gains of America's minorities, women and working class. That's a Soviet forecast of how those seeking equality in. America will fare under a conservative, hawkish White House that plans to spend sin un precedented $1.3 trillion in the next five years in a military buildup at the ex pense of people-helping programs. The forecast was made this month in a National Newspaper Publishers Association interview by Dr. Ignor I. Geevsky, a . Soviet expert on minorities and social movements in the United States. Dr. Geevsky, who has traveled widely in the United States and met with key leaders of American organizations pushing for. social and economic justice, said that Reagan's militaristic budget clearly shows that America's underclass and discrimination victims are the Republican president's -"first targets' and predicted that "" Reagan , i would broaden his conser vative offense against the same group of people. "The conservative forces will not stop their offenses at. the budget," Dr. Geevsky said. "They will continue on many, other grounds on the grounds of civil rights . legislation, labor legisla tion and women's rights, . . .The budget cuts were only the first step." Dr. Geevsky, whose of ficial title is Section Chief, Institute of U.S. Studies, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, cited Reagan's support of the states' rights doctrine and his lack of support of the 1965 Federal Voting Rights Act as specific ex amples of Reagan's cold feelings toward the plight of black people. The states' rights doctrine has historically been .used as an instrument to deprive blacks of their rights while the Voting Rights Act has been one of America's most effective pieces of civil rights legislation. Observing the negative impact that the return of the states rights doctrine would have on black voters, Dr, Geevsky said: "Instead of having one flbig round of battle, you would have fifty rounds of battle. So your civil rights forces would be divided, not to mention that voting rights have always been unfavorable to blacks on the state level i Commenting on the military race betwEen the United States and the Soviet Union, Dr. Geev sky indicated that it was unfortunate that there was such a race because the masses of people on both ' sides would suffer the (CQfitinued On Cage 16) kl ni vvdrrib ut . r rx -7 u: ai ata Tourist spies rresiaeni ixaunaa ut z.amuid vvuiuuiiidb him By Angle Dickerson Special to NN PA LUSAKA, ZAMBIA -Some 400 delegates from 35 countries heard Presi dent K.D.
