The word going round in Moscow is that some Hundred or so cities and places hitherto m a d o inaccessible to for Eigners Wilt be opened to tourists. Russian travellers from the closed cities them selves support the Moscow report. No one knows How soon it will be. Ii. May be already Loo late for this summer s season because of the organization such a step will re quire on the soviet Side. But if in really happens it will be a Gigantic step in Arctic freeze urged by Conway Churchill Man. Up spokesmen for native people of the n o r i h w e s i territories pressed their Case monday for a halt to Gas and Oil exploration in the Arctic pending the Reso Lution of aboriginal land claims and the formation of a National Energy policy. Speaking to a conference on development of the Churchil corridor to the Arctic islands Joe Mercredi of the Metis association of the Northwest Terri lories said developers must re Cognize the disrupting effects of i their projects on the native peo i russians like everyone else Are in need a opening Russia to the West Ern world. Even when going to the few places now open to them foreigners travelling by car have to specify their route in Advance. And Only a few routes Are available to them with no diversion possible poor facilities for getting petrol for Emer gency repairs and even for refreshment. It does not seem Likely however thai a relaxation signifies an ideological sol i zoning or a Welcome for a Breeze of new ideas to blow through the land. The Rea sons Are More mundane. Looms in St. A a continued Ter can be resolved. This Board is quite it a loess t want a strike any More than we trustee e. W. Docking chair Man of the St. James Assiniboia school Board and head of its negotiating committee and Union official Joe Henderson said there had been no Lalk of strike action Al monday s negotiating m f c t i n g both negotiating teams had reached a tentative settlement but the local s rank and file refused to accept in. Or. Poitras said tuesday the negotiating team was in s i r u c i e d to get immediate parity with the Winnipeg Divi Sion but so far we be been in the membership had wanted to go on strike monday but were persuaded to wait and negotiate further. Or. Poitras said the propps a i s which both negotiating teams had first accepted would have Given is. Lames Assiniboia custodians a n d maintenance in need of hard currency and though their income from tourists has been rising in seems to have reached a plateau. The earlier enormous curiosity about the soviet Union has been partially satisfied. People do not want to visit the same old places again and again. Even Leningrad seen once or twice is enough for most people. Poor amenities the rude Ness and carelessness of in tourist officials has Given the soviet Union a bad name As a country for holi Day making. The authorities Are worried that this in come might soon dry up. The Only Way to expand in will be to Widen the Choice open to tourists encourage people o come for a longer slay and reduce the pres sure on hotel accommodation in the places most frequented now. It will bring greater reve nue to Aero Dot which can Fly packaged Tours to Hith e r t o out of Bounds places such As Gorki the Indus Lri Al cily where Volga cars Are made but which also has Fine architectural monuments. But the soviet authorities Are Gouig to have a hard time satisfying tourist de m a n d s. Hotel accommodation is often scarce and poor and ibis Means Hal until More arc built rus r. Mercredi of fort Simp son n.w.t., asked the 2.10-Odd conference delegates whal the poor Indian or Metis going in get out of it pollution headaches if you want the Northwest territories you be got to sit Down Wilh Peter gumming a Legal Arl visor to the Eskimo brotherhood and a professor Al York University in Toronto said the Eskimo people have a closer i relationship i o environment than do any other North Ameri i c a n people and aboriginal i rights must be recognized legally. He said developments in alas a Gas and Oil exploration were Frozen from 1966 to 1971 until aboriginal land rights were i clarified Anil urged that a Simi Lar freeze lasting perhaps to live years be imposed in Canada s North. J James a Valuk of the Eskimo brotherhood said settlement of the land claim Issue is a top priority. Land and water were More important to the native people than the Prospect of a menial pipeline Job that might end after Only a few years and considerable social disruption. Or. V. H.

Ruslie Docking said Nugoli i inns will continue in the Nix la Ith hotels to let of risks in which will r neither endear tourists to s the locals nor the locals to j the tourists. There is another risk for fihe regime. If tourists now commonplace Only in the big open cities like Moscow t and Leningrad begin to be seen Lirou ghost the soviet j Union Heller clothed bet j Ler equipped than the a c lives and spending freely they Are bound to reveal to the russian people so Lar i any visible Contact Wilh the.

The difference May even be magnified because tourists far from their Homeland goner ally represent the More of j fluent Section of their own j people. I one can see Hal some wed scale program of Ido i logical indoctrination May have to be undertaken by i the communist authorities to immunize local populations against the evil and envy of foreign wealth and i ways. It is possible thai to begin with travel to new places for foreigners will be Only by plane or train. Even now on some routes this is enforced but nol so much the roads Are bad. As because the russians Are sensitive about defence installations along such roads. Russians know thai a i i f i c i a 1 satellites sailing round the Earth have Mads Many Security precautions obsolete and unnecessary. But the habit and worry persist if the Range of cities and other places is extended for foreign tourists it is bound to result in a lessening of outmoded Security precautions.
