w ise У99 Quoth Caligula
By PETER ELISH
National President
Gaius Caesar Germanicus was a'
Roman emperor who ruled from 12
B.C. to 41 A.D. He is better known to
us as Caligula. Translated from
Latin, the name means, "little
boot". This affectionate name re-mained
with him even though he was
the cruelest of a motley bunch of de-praved
Roman emperors.
However, in one of his half-san- e
creative moments, he had an in-spired
idea that may have some
merit in the present whirl-a-wi- g at
our nation's capitol.
A president, as well as an emperor
is judged not only by his ability and
wisdom, but also by the caliber of
men and women that he selects to
serve as his advisors in the various
cabinet and a group of advisors that
dwarf all previous cabinets in inepti-tude
since the days of President
Harding. Let's take a look at some of
the appointees.
"A president, as well as an
emperor, is judged not only
by his ability and wisdom,
but also by the caliber of

to serve as his advi
sors.
As President Reagan nears the
mid-poi- nt of his administration, it is
quite apparent that he has selected a
cabinet and a group of advisors that
dwarf all previous cabinets in inepti-tude
since the days of President
Harding. Let's take a look at some of
the appointees.
There is Secretary Haig. Perhaps
he is doing a lot of things against his
better judgement. . .Let's hope so.
Whatever the outcome of the Falkl-and,
fiasco, his jet jaunts up and
down' the Atlantic Ocean will not
serve any useful purpose to our na-tion.
"Besides dignifying a group of
cutthroat fascist leaders in Argen-tina,
it is a "no win" situation for us.
Secretary Haig has helped to estab-lish
an incoherent tunnel, vision
foreign policy throughout the world.
His only major speech was a few
weeks ago "pooh-poohin- g" the nu-clear
freeze movement Like his
boss, he holds to the theory that a nu-clear
war is survivable and winn-abl- e.
3UZNOAFRICKA REPUBLIKA
NAJROBI (Od dopisnika Tanjuga) --
Najvisi predstavnici juznoafrickog rezi-m- a
aparthajda, s premijerom Pieterom
Bothom na celu, u viSe navrata su katego-rick- i
demantirali da imaju bilo kakve ve-z- e
s pokusajem drzavnog udara u Repu-bli- ci
Sejseli prosle jeseni. Njih je, medu-tim- ,
utjerao u laz nitko drugi nego osobno
Ludi Mike, famozni pukovnik Michael
Hoare, koji se proslavio joS u vrijeme
intervencije bijelih placenika u kongoan-sko- j
provinciji Katangi, a sada odgovara
pred juznoafrickim sudom za otmicu avi-on- a
indijske kompanije na sejselskom ae-rodro- mu.
Hoare (63) je bio predvodnik grupe od 45
bijelih placenika koju je netko unajmio,
naoruzao i dobrano platio da skine s vla-s- ti
socijalistickog predsjednika Republi-k- e
Sejseli Alberta Renea Cijela zavjera te-k- la
je prema programu, sve dok se place-ni- ci
glumeci strane turiste, nisu iskrcali
na sejselskom aerodromu Victoria. Sejsel-- '
ski je carinik malo bolje zagledao prtljag
jednog od turista i tamo nasao rasklop-ljen- i
automat. Na znak Ludog Mikea pla-ceni- ci
su zapucali, ali su sejselski cuvari
Then we have the likes of Jim
Watt, the Interior Secretary. His
views of our mineral resources, the
parks and public lands, are that they
should be exploited by the predatory
interest that he served so well for
years as an attorney. He is oblivious
to the fact that preservation of our
public lands, our timber and mineral
resources are one of our greatest
assets.
Then we have Anne Gorsuch, head
of the Environmental Protection
Agency. Ms. Gorsuch is a protege of
the Coor family, the anti-labo- r, large
contributors to the Reagan cause.
Since her appointment she has whit-tled
down her staff, whereby effec-tive
enforcement of the Environ-mental
Act is hardly possible.
Gradually she is loosening the stan-dards
that have been established to
prevent acid rain damage, anti-emissio- n
hazards and pollution dam-ages
due to toxic chemical dump-ings.
These decisions, if un-challenged,
will increase the
seriousness of environmental haz-ards
to our health and well being.
How can we forget Richard
Schweiker, the former liberal before
election and conservative after his
election as Senator from Pennsyl-vania.
He not only believes that the
poor should get poorer and the rich
richer, but as Secretary of Health
and Welfare, he wants the Depart-ment
to snitch on sexually active
teenagers who come to the health
centers for advice.
I could go on and talk about the
rest of the blundering crew that are
the palace guards of the present ad-ministration
from the ill-fate- d
former Security Advisor Allen, the
wheeler-deale- r C.I.A.'s Casey, to the
incompetent economic advisory
staff of the president.
The performance of the Reagan
staff has been the laughing stock of
.Washington. On occasions they are
an embarrassment to our nation and
the world. Maybe these sycophants
are not free to express their indepen-dence,
but have to hew to a preor-dained
policy established by others.
If that is the case, then the idiotic
Emperor Caligula was not so crazy
after all! Instead of being surround-ed
by a cackle of incompetents, he
appointed his race horse as his chief
counsel. . .on occasion he attended
state dinners. At least Caligula had
enough sense to ordain the whole
horse as a counselor instead of only
the rear end.

POVRATAK MALARIJE
WASHINGTON — U zemljama u
razvoju biljezi se "dramati6an povra-ta- k
malarije", od koje tamo pati бак
214 milijuna ljudi. Prema podacima
Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije
(WHO), napori da se malarija stavi
pod kontrolu pofietkom pedesetih
godina bili su veoma uspjesni. Broj
slucajeva u Africi, Aziji i Latinskoj
Americi sada se vise nego udvostru-6i- o.
Krajem sedamdesetih godina,
prema podacima WHO, od 342
milijuna ljudi koji zive u Africi, 291
milijun bio je izlozen inficiranju torn
parazitskom boleScu. Oko milijun
djece mlade od pet godina godiSnje
umire od malarije u Africi.

sudom sam brani. On je iznio vise doku-mena- ta
kojima se dokazuje da juznoa-fric- ki
rezim ne samo da je odobravao za-vje- ru
protiv Sejselske Republike, vec je
opskrbio napadace oruzjem i municijom
za izvrsenje puca. On je od predstavnika
juznoafrickih oruzanih snaga dva mjeseca
prije pokusaja puca dobio 75 automatskih
pusaka, 10 rucnih bacaca raketa, 100 rake-t- a
i 24.000 puscanih metaka. Ludi Mike
se nekoliko puta susretao visokim funk-cionari-ma
sluzbe sigurnosti i vojske pre-torijsk- og rezima i dobio uvjeravanja
daljnjoj podrsci izvrsenju puca.
Posto je stvar neslavno propala, bijeli
placenici su po svoj prilici ostavljeni da
sami vade kestenje iz vatre. Cak je i prvo-bitn- u
optuzbu jednog od placenika, Marti-na
Dolinceka, koji je uhvacen i ceka sude-nj- e
na Sejslelima, Pretoria kategoricki de-mantir-ala
Najzanimljivije je da ni speci-jaln- a
komisija Vijeca sigurnosti UN nije
uspjela naci dokaze umijesanosti JAR
pokusaj puca
Iznio ih je, eto, onaj od koga se to najma-nj-e
ocekivalo, osobno voda placenika Lu-di
Mike.

MOSKVA — Nestabilne prilike u
Poljskoj ponovo se u Moskvi objaS-njavaj- u
kao posljedica propagand-no- g
i slidnog djelovanja amerifike
obavjeStajne sluzbe CIA. U opSir-no- m
б1апки o tome "Pravda" tvrdi da
CIA takvu aktivnost provodi preko
radiostanice "Sloboda" i "Slobodna
Evropa" u Munchenu, 6ije suradnike
list naziva "pavijanima".
Iz tog napada na americku obav-j'eStaj- nu sluzbu i minhenski radio-cent- ar
proizilazi da su nedavni
nemiri u Poljskoj prouzrokovani
njihovim djelovanjem, koje "Pravda"
karakterizira kao "diverzantske akci-je- "
i upozorava da one "poprimaju
sve oStrije forme". Sovjetski list
tvrdi da se takvim djelovanjem
poduzimaju pokusaj i ponovnog or-ganizira- nja
antisocijalistifikih snaga
u Poljskoj i da se "kontrarevolucija
poti6e na nove provokacije i
ispade".
U б1апки se kaze da spomenute
radiostanice 6esto emitiraju na polj-sko- m Sifrirane instrukcije "agentima
zapadnih obavjestajnih sluzbi" u
Poljskoj. List tvrdi da je u instrukci-jam- a
CIA minhenskim radio-stanica-- ma
predlozeno da u svojim emisija-m- a
suprotstavljaju poljsku partiju
armiji i drzavi, a Poljsku drugim
socijalistiCkim zemljama i da stvara-j- u
uvjete za pretvaranje poljske crkve
u "vodedu opozicionu politicku sna-gu- ",
kao i da reklamiraju ideju
stvaranja "neokatoliCke politifike
stranke".
"Pravda" tvrdi da je jedan od
osnovnih pravaca te propagande
"klevetanje Sovjetskog Saveza i
medunarodnih saveza koje je zaklju-6il- a
Poljska".
