2,000 "Boat People"hold demonstration

By JOHN LEICESTER

HONG KONG (AP) - About 2.000 Vietnamese boat people, fearfulthat they may soon be forced home, sang songs and demandedfreedom during a peaceful demonstration in a Hong Kong refugeecamp Tuesday.

The daylong protest at the campon the islet ofTai AChau signaledmounting anxiety among the 27.000 boat people in Hong Kongfollowing the lifting last week of the U.S. trade embargo on Vietnamand the prospect of tougher measures to oust them.

"The last several weeks have definitely been very hothere," DavidIreland, a Hong Kong-based lawyerwho campaigns for boat people,said in an interview. "They realize that things are coming to a head."

Tension has heightened further over a meeting scheduled forMonday in Geneva. at which governments and the United Nationswill discuss the boat people.

One proposal is to deal forcibly with those who won't volunteertogo home. but won't actively resist repatriation.

Tuesday's protest was at least thethirdat Tai AChau insix months,said camp superintendent Alan Newton. The protestors gathered ona soccer fieldand shouted that "theyare prepared togive uptheir livesfor freedom," he said.

Many shouted slogans against Vietnam's communist governmentand said they did not want to go home. Newton said.

Three weeks ago, about 2.000 people at Tai A Chau demonstratedagainst plans to deport an orphaned teenager to Vietnam. rather thansend him to his aunt and uncle in California. The U.N. agreed toreview the case.

Ireland said another demonstration would be held Wednesday atthe High Island Detention Center, which houses 2,000 Vietnamese.

Boat people began turning up on southeast Asian shores in 1975,after U.S.-backed South Vietnam was seized by the communistNorth. Some 1.5 million fled their country.

Since 1988, Hong Kong has given refugee status only to the 15percentwho can proveajustified fearof persecution athome. Humanrights groups complain that genuine refugees are being repatriated.The Hong Kong government denies this.

According to King, it would bea lot more feasible to address is­sues such as minimum wage, im­migration, laborrelations, taxsys­tem and others in one packagerather than on a piece-meal basis.

King's suggestion came at.atime when the federal govern­ment is hot on the trail of reformsin light of current congressionalefforts to tie up continued federalfunding assistance for the CNMIto changes in local economic andsocial policies.

Most recently, the need for suchreforms have been observed to bemost urgent after the Clinton Ad­ministration proposed a phaseoutof Covenant funding assistancefor the CNMI after October 1996.

Mismanagement cause of business failureBy Rafael I. Santos

MOST businesses in the com­monwealth have failed to suc­ceed either because of poor man­agement or lack of knowledge inentrepreneurship. '

This is according to Eric G.M.Jackman, chairman of the SmallBusinesses committee of SaipanChamber of Commerce.

In a press conference yesterdayat the Aqua Resort Club, Jackmansaid business owners, mostlythose which fall under the smallbusiness category, fail in theirbusiness endeavor because of lackof experience in operating a busi­ness.

He told journalists that smallbusiness owners normally en­counter difficulties in followingbusiness regulations, processingof business documents such aslicensing.

Jackman, asales and marketinginstructor at the NorthernMarianas College, said such busi­nessmen need assistance fromgroups like the Saipan Chamberof Commerce. .

A collaborative effort to helpthese entrepreneurs find answersto their business problems, isneeded, Jackman said.

According to him, a regularmeeting organized by the cham­ber can be of help to such busi­nessmen.

'They can make connections,"he said.

Jackman wasspeakinginapressbriefing that washeld toannouncethe celebration of Small BusinessWeek.

The chamber has set May 1-7as the Small Business Week, inconjunction with the NationalSmall Business ConsciousnessWeek.

The week-long celebration wasaimed at showing the chamber's"commitment to small busi­nesses," according to Jackman.

At the same time, the celebra­tion intends to build awarenessamong entrepreneurs and poten­tial businessmen asto what prod­.ucts and services are availablelocally.

Jackman said it is the desire ofthe SCC to encourage small busi­ness owners to join the organiza­tionwhere they can gel assistanceon how to run their business bet­ter.

SCC also wants to tap potentialbusinessmen to start their ownsmall businesses "that are essen­tial to the development of thecommunity."

Small Business Week will beobserved with the theme "Now Isthe Time."

According to Ellie Freedman,Chairperson of the Invitation andProtocolsubcommittee, thethemeis very appropriate as "this is thebest time to be in business."

As part of the celebration,seminar-workshops on how tostart a business and how to run anexisting business better, will beconducted, she said.

Questions on how to go through

Hundreds of demonstrators de­manding a permanent price roll­back barricaded road intersectionswith tree trunks and boulders, butthere was no violence.

Protestant pastors and RomanCatholic priests supporting thestrikers concelebrated religiousservices at one of the barricades.

.Protests were a reaction to agovernment-sponsored increasein fuel prices that went into effecton Jan. 28.

"If the government does notshow any intent of budging fromits position on the levy, the(Movement's) self-imposed re­straint will have to be lifted in afew days time," Briones said.

Groups opposed to the increasealso called for a nationwide strikeon Wednesday.

Governmentmoves to enddock strikeOTTAWA (AP) - The govern­ment introduced a bill Tuesday toend the dock workers' strike thathas shut down West Coast ports.But it still needs the unanimousconsent of all parties to keep thebill moving through Parliament.

The bill would send 3,500 dockworkers back to their jobs and setrules for a federal arbitrator toimpose a settlement within 90days.

The arbitrator would take finaloffers from the InternationalLongshoremen's andWarehousemen's Union and theB.C. Maritime Employers Asso­ciation and decide on a newagree­ment which would remain in ef­fect until Dec. 3 I, 1995.

BobWilds, presidentof theS.c.Maritime EmployersAssociation,said he is disappointed the gov­ernment had to step in but is satis­fied with the terms of the pro­posed legislation.

Gordie Westrand, president ofthe International Longshoremen'sand Warehousemen's Union, de­clined to comment on the bill.

Solons move to put back teeth in Ethics LawTWO BILLS reinstating an im­portant provision taken away lastyear from the Government EthicsLaw have been submitted to eachhouse of Legislature.

House Bill9-56 authored byRep. Ana S. Teregeyo and SenateBill 9-3 introduced by Sen. PaulA. Manglona will both attempt tobring back restrictions withinPublic Law 8-11 on public offi­cials and employees using gov­ernment office or staff for politi­cal purposes.

Such restrictions were takenaway with the enactment of P.L.8-28 in September of last yearprior to the 1993 general elec­tions.

According to the Findings andPurpose section of Manglona'sbill, the enactment of P.L. 8-28was contrary to the overall intentof the Ethics Law which he him­self authored.

P.L. 8-28 was an amendmentbill sponsored by Rep. Jesus P.Mafnas in the Eighth Legislatureto allow the use of governmentfacilities in political rallies andsimilar activities.

"P.L. 8-11's prohibition on uti­lizing public facilities for politi­cal purposes reinforces clean,open and honest government.However, as originally drafted,its application was broadly inter­preted. Such interpretation pro­hibited any political activities ofany sort in any government build­ing or on any public land, includ­ing parks and auditoriums,"Manglona said in his bill.

"We have replaced 12 perimeterfences with one relatively low one,"said spokesman Peter Guilford.

An EU official who demandedanonymity said ministers reachedagreement after they'burieddiffer­ences on restricting imports fromChina and a Portuguese demand forspecial safeguards against textileimports.

Ministers agreed quotas for sevencategoriesofChineseproducts:foot­wear, glassware, porcelain, othertableware, radios, toys and gloves.A proposal to put quotason bicycleswas rejected.

Guilford said ministers agreed toallow 35 million pairs of rubbersoled shoesbeimportedfromChina,compared with a proposed 22 mil­lion pairs.

He said ministers also voted toexclude shoes worth more than 12European currency units (dlrs 13.4)from any import restrictions.

''This means thatbrandslike Nikeand Reebok won't be affected" byquotas, Guilford said. "We're leav­ing the top end of the market open."

Ministers also approvedcommer­cial defense instruments, whichBrittan said would streamline EU.inquiries and actions on unfair trad­ingmethods, suchasdumpinggoodson EU markets at abnormally lowprices.

Yet the Cowboys, Bills and Gi­ants are big beneficiaries of theNFL's new compensatory draftchoice system. Set up to help thepoorteams,it's morelikelyto helpthe rich get richer.

The NFL concedes the imbal­ance.

"The stronger teams generallyhada deeperpoolof talentto lose,"saysHaroldHenderson,theNFL'sdirectoroflaborrelations. "Inmanycases, those top teams promotedtheir own developing players tostarting positions rather than signother clubs' veteran free agents."

Krossand his team bf research­ers say in their study that peoplewhomanagegolfcoursesappearto

That turned out to work to theadvantage of good teams.

The Cowboys,who will get the16thpick in the secondround, andtheGiants,whowillgetNo.17,arethe two best examples.

The Cowboys signed no freeagents-theywereprohibited underthe rule that restricted the league'sfmal four in 1992 from signing aplayer unless they lost one, a ruleno longer in effect.
