European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 17, 1985, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 columns George will the stars and stripes sunday november 17, 1985 we need a Shorf acrimonious Summit meeting it has been said there arc iwo ways 10  darkness be a Candle or inc Mirror that reflects it. At the Summit president Reagan Musl be the Mirror reflecting inc few candles not yet snuffed out by Gorbachev s no stalinism. One flame flickering Low is Sergei Khor Doro Vich. In 1977 he became manager of the russian social Pund. Thai Posi was open because the previous occupant had been arrested. The social i und. Based in Zurich is a Charity founded in 1974 by Al expander sol he Natsyn and funded by worldwide royalties from the the gulag  it docs nothing other than support families of prisoners of conscience in the soviet Union All of them victims of soviet disregard of inc Helsinki accords. On March i. 1983. After 15 months in a Kocib investigation prison. Valcris Cpin manager of the fund for Leningrad was put on soviet television to make one of those confessions that loom so Large to the soviet charade of Justice. Appearing broken he said he had confessed with the help of an  he con fessed that the fund is As the Kremlin constantly has charged a Western spy  five weeks later Khor Doro Vich was also arrested. In the years before his arrest he had been fired from his Job harassed in his Home and provoked in the streets by Kab thugs posing As thugs. In prison he was regularly beaten by persons gifted at leaving no visible races on victims. His face was unmarked. The rest of his body w As almost entirely Black and Blue. Ribs were smashed. He received a Light sentence of three years in a strict regime concentration Camp on the Arctic coast. That term is due to end next year. In a transparent trick to con fuse foreign critics the Kremlin has amended the criminal code to permit arbitrary Extension of Light prison terms. Vicious sentences arc imposed piecemeal under a Law concerning malicious insubordination to the demands of the administration of a corrective labor  Yuri Andropov gave the soviet Union two things that Law and a protege named Gorbachev. Kho Dorovich is of course protected by the Helsinki accords. Soviet Law is a tissue of such  when a Young artist Sergei a Atoria was arrested for dissenting and wanting to emigrate he told his interrogator that his activities were protected under the libertarian Lan Guage of the soviet  the interrogator said Fine. You will be charged with unwarranted exercise of constitutional  in March 1985, Kho Dorovich was sentenced to 46 Days in an isolation cell with his warm clothes taken away subsisting on reduced rations. Then came four months hard labor with 30 minutes a Day allotted for a  his health is de Clining. His life May hang on Reagan s willingness to express in Geneva a special interest in him. Reagan like most people Only More so has a cinematic mind. He clarifies his thinking and animates his passions with reference to particular cases identifiable individuals whose situations can be framed focused and Frozen in clearly imagined scenes. This is not a weakness least of All one Peculiar to actors. I is a common and useful habit of mind that can yield moral strength. So when Reagan enters the room he will raise human rights issuer with Gorbachev. When human Sirj ils question arc raised with soviet officials they put on elaborately rude displays of boredom Roll ing their eyes doodling glancing at their expensive Western watches and finally saying with heavy weariness can we not go on to serious matters this Summit will be Worth the considerable trouble if As Summit enthusiasts Hope Reagan and Gorbachev get to know one  if that happens the Summit enthusiasts will be dismayed because Reagan will return to Washington furious and  relations will be better meaning More realistic meaning colder. That is one reason Reagan should raise with Gorbachev the Case of Kho Dorovich. As Reagan does this he should Sec cinematically in his mind s Eye the methodical breaking of Khordoc Rovich s ribs. To Wuh Nolon poll it s a ratings sweeps month William Buckley Tufu s argument is embarrassingly simple minded if i were . Botha which thank god i am not. I would hire the South african secret police to put up huge hidden purses around the world for the purpose of inviting Bishop Tutu to speak against apartheid. There was a Golden moment a couple of months Back when the Bishop remonstrated against Black violence at the expense of other Blacks in South Africa threatening if such fratricide continued to remove himself and his family to the United states to live. But Ever since then he has spoken without apparent inhibition reaching an apogee of Rhetor ical recklessness when he spoke before the United nations informing that body that the president of the United states As also the leaders of Britain and West Germany were  if everyone who opposes economic sanctions against South Africa is a racist then Alan Paton is a racist. And if the author of cry the beloved country is a racist then we should All seek to be racist and conscript another word to describe racial invidious Ness. What is the matter with Bishop Tutu his line of argument is embarrassingly simple minded certainly the support of this racist policy South Africa s is racist he says. What h wrong with that generality i to maintain diplomatic relations with a country and to Trade with that country is not necessarily to endorse inc Domestic policies of that country. With whom does the United states Trade with almost every country there arc a few exceptions historical anomalies like Cuba North Korea Vietnam. If Bishop Tutu s Iron generality held up then it could As easily be said about president Reagan that because he deals with Iron cur Tain countries he is pro communist. 2 there Are men of unimpeachable racial toleration i have cited Alan Paton who oppose the imposition of sanctions. Arc we to Call chief Butch Loczi of the zulus a racist because he opposes sanctions but Bishop Tutu he now reveals has been harbouring suspicions for a very Long while. I m supposed now As a Nobel laureate to speak responsibly and All that sort of things and i tried to but i just think we re seeing closet racism coming into the open. It is highly unlikely that or. Reagan would have the same indifference if the casualties had been  Bishop tulu s reference Hutc is to 700 people killed during the violence of the last year in South Africa. Tutu forgets that Only a few weeks ago he was bemoaning the violence being inflicted on Blacks by Blacks on indians by Blacks on Black by coloureds. But of course tulu s Point though morally arresting is historically groundless. Six million White jews were killed by Hitler in a supreme act of Pinnacle genocide and yet the War the West finally fought against Hitler was not animated to save the jews. The death sentences imposed by Stalin on White kulaks came to 10 million. The deaths imposed by Mao during the great leap Forward came to 27 million were we anti yellow for declining to intervene and the per capita deaths in Cambodia were the highest of the Century. Not Only did we do nothing about it we made a great show of doing nothing about it. Add to which this important difference in these other countries in our lifetime people were executed for inc sin of being what they were for being jewish in the Case of the nazis for being literate in inc Case of the cambodians for being vaguely in the Way in the Case of map. To say that there is genocide going on in South Africa is to renounce elementary distinctions. Those who arc being killed in South Africa Are those who Are pro testing by Force civil arrangements that Are discriminatory and cruel yes but genocidal no. Bishop Tutu is especially inflamed because or. Re Gan speaking the week before at the United nations did not name South Africa As one of the five trouble spot Over which he proposed that the soviet Union and to United Stales exercise joint responsibility. But of course or. Reagan in speaking of Ethiopia Angola Afghani Stan Cambodia and Nicaragua was speaking of Fly areas of the world troubled by the military intervention of the soviet Union in Pursuit of its insatiable appetite to dominate the world. If Bishop tulu would allow his disorderly mind to Rel for a few moments on what it is that the soviet Union operating in Ethiopia through the Black monster Mengistu. Has done to the ethiopian people he might recognize what is the difference Between biological deaths irom starvation and the indignities of life in a discriminatory society. Bishop Tutu can t Advance his own Case by discredit ing the reasoning of its apostles. C Una Vetrul Pru synd pm
