Dear Frank, Dear Frank, I am most distrubed by the recent statements by Mr. Mark Plummer concerning the local churches. During his talk on the campus on 2nd August, and subsequently in the radio talk-back the next morn­ .jear Frank, ing, Mr. Plummer falsely charged the local churches Hookers of being a cult. Mr. Plummer, who proudly claimed I am somewhat surprised at John Waugh’s attitude to to be a researcher, admitted that he had not done any an earlier letter in CRACCUM by Simon Monks, over the research on the local churches. His ridiculous conclu­ Dear Frank, recent action of the Law Students Committee in granting sion that the local churches are a cult is derived by subsidies to members of sporting teams.

No doubt the industry would create some employment, but in the long term, it is inevitable that they may bring out the pollution diseases. Although a petrochemical complex is apt to be seen'as a symbol of ‘industrialisation’, it is nothing

but the greatest source of air pollution. In Yokkaichi CRACCUM SEPTEMBER 5 PAGE 9 city in Japan, for example, there are three groups of petrochemical complexes (called ‘combinat’). As of December 1970, 44 people had died and more m than one thousand citizens suffered from lung cancer or the famous ‘Yokkaichi Asthma’, because of the dis­ charged sulfurous acid gas. Nitro-oxide chemicals are also the main pollutants. In addition to air pollution, water pollution arises.

Having run short of suitable industrial land in ANTI—KOGAI • Japan, and heavily criticised and hard pressed by the anti-pollution movement, the Japanese firms are feverishly thrusting out into ‘virgin soil’ overseas. They see it as potentially extremely profitable to Mill* export their capital and technology to ASEAN countries to take advantage of their rich natural resources, limitless supply of cheap labour, || f political and economical situations under repres­ sive Security Acts, and potential growing markets. And what makes the rapaciousness of Japanese capital in ASEAN all the more terrifying is that they will inevitably reproduce there the ‘KOGAI’ that saps the lives of the Japanese.

The dispersal of ‘KOGAI’ is already being realized here and there - for example; a petro­ chemical plant, a joint venture by Japanese and American multinationals, located in the Industrial District of South Korea. According to the report of Lifson and Tsu Kamoto, an American and Japanese active in the anti-pollution movement, the Korean farmers and fishermen in the area are : - already severely victimized by the petro-chemical plants operating in the industrial district. Every day, these people see the plant gradually assume its imposing shape; monitoring Japanese radio news, they think of and find their own future images in the patients of Minamata Disease in Japan. In Japan, these industries have refused to accept responsibility for the tragedy for nearly 20 years.
