Regional conflicts a threat to world peace

'- UNITED NATIONS (Reuter) Secretary- General Kurt Waldheim told the United Nations Wed- nesday that regional con- flicts could draw inthe great powers and pose a major threat to world peace.

In hig annual report to the General Assembly, Waldheim urged the major powérs to stop their struggle for spheres of influence.

He said governments must develop greater confidence in the Security Council. If

’ they brought their problems to it and the council had the will and means to deal with them on their merits, ‘we would have made a decisive step forward towards world order.”

The seeretary-general said the big powers are unlikely to permit their personal quarrels to become a serious danger to world peace, but “lam very much concerned | at the possible inleraction between the tensions which exist between them and the regional conflicls which erupt in various parts of the world from time to time.”

“It seems to me that the major potential threal to world peace at the present time is the possibility that one or other regional conflict may unexpectedly become closely connected with the complex rejationship of the great nuclear powers and strain that relationship Lo the breaking point.”

Waldheim repeated his call for a Middle East con-. ference involving all con- cerned parties.

‘However formidable the difficulties, we cannot afford to relax for a moment the attempt to find a peaceful way forward. Il bears repeating that in the Middle East lime is not in favor of peaceful developments.

“We must together find some means of liberating the Middle East and all humanity from a nightmare that has lasted far too long.”

Waldheim said that until the leaders involved in the Rhodesian situation accept the fact that unilateral ac- tion will not bring a lasting solution, the situation can only worsen, with dangerous consequences to the peace of the entire area.

Sanctions against Rhodesia, ordered by the Security Council, must be failhfully observed, Wakiheim said in a review of issues to face the General Assembly when it meets next Tuesday.

He said there is no in- dicatitn that the South African government is moving away from its policy of institutionalized racial discrimination.

CONCERN OVER CYPRUS

Waldheim said the Cyprus problem remains a threal to slabilily and good relations in the eastern Medilerranean, and a burden on the UN, which has stationed a peace-keeping

. foree there since 1964.

He said that the UN force in Lebanon must rely on negotiation and persuasion

. to achieve UN objectives in

the area.

“However, if such methods prove unavailing, the Securily Council may well have to consider what other approaches are open to it under the charter,” Waldheim said.

“] hope that all concerned will be persuaded that their best interests lie in the reslored authority and ef- fectiveness of the govern- ment of Lebanon and in co- operation wilh the peace- keeping forces of the United Nations in fulfilment of the

decision of the Security Z¢ Council.” og he The secretary-general said;

terrorism in the world has not abated and “I believe thal the member states of the United Nations have an obligation lo discuss these problems in all frankness with each othr and to try to find means by which they can assist éach other in facing a peril that threalens atl,” ; .

FREDERICTON (CP) —_

Progressive Conseryalive Leader Joe Clark says he is concerned that a federal proposal to reduce equalization payments will help “break up the country.”

He renewed here Wed- nesday a Conservative pledge to include in the constitulion the principle of equalization payments to poorer provinces,

Clark told 250 party sup- porters here that the équalization principle is

fundamental to Con- federation. The gavernment an-

nounced last Friday it plans to reduce spending on transfer payments and shared-cost programs by $350 million next year.

‘Fernand Dube, New Brunswick’s finance minister, estimates this includes $220 million in equalization payments for health, welfare and other shared-cost programs and $150 million for bilingualism projects.

The equalization issue is a hot one in New Brunswick, drawing front-page treat- ment in local newspapers. However, Dube said the federal plan would probably mean reductions of only $6 million to $10 million for New Brunswick.

Clark was in New Brun- swick for talks with party officials and for a nominating meeting in the

federal riding of Fundy

Royal.

After a talk with Con- servative Premier Richard Hatfield of New Brunswick, Clark slammed Treasury Board Minister Robert Andras’s spending reduction announcement to warm ap- plause from party faithful.

“What he (Andras) is doing very seriously en- dangers the spirit and the nature of Confederation.

Clark fears ‘break-up’ of country

this country thal some of the richer regions of Canada will help some of the regions which aren’t so rich."

Equalization payments were designed to help poorer regions maintain a high standard of services. They also helped poorer provinces like New Brunswick borrow funds on foreign: money markets.

Clark said a Conservative party conference on the con- Stitution at Kingston, Onl., last year agreed that equalization payments should be included in the constitution after pleas from Hatfield and Newfoundland Premier Frank Moores.

Ottawa shouldnot have the |

power to change the equal- ization formula alone without agreement from the provinces, he said.

Clark repeatedly praised

Hatfield's role at the Kingston conference and his championing of the

equalization formula.

The national Conservative leader also attacked the government's constitutional proposals, which he said would give the ruling party power to change the
