/* ---------- "new journal ... gmi ..." ---------- */
We are in the final stages of developing a new quarterly journal -
Greener Management International. Covering business and
environmental issues, this journal is aimed internationally at
both business and academia; it will be management orientated and
reader-friendly and will be covering the strategic planning needs
of senior decision makers in the business world.

We are interested in receiving your suggested article on the
environment and marketing. Articles are expected to be circa 2,000
words and preliminary drafts for the first issue must be received
by the beginning of October 1992. We are certainly interested in
any case histories which you may have access to.

If possible, text should be supplied on 3 1/2" disks, with a
separate hard copy printout stating clearly the computer and
software used. Typed manuscripts should be double spaced with wide
margins. Any queries relating to the above should be addressed to
ouer Production Editor, Dean Bargh, on Sheffield (0742) 739721.

Greenleaf Publishing, a division of Interleaf Productions Ltd,
will be specialising in environmental and business titles. The
first publication will be Greener Marketing: A responsible
approach to business. We are also interested in hearing from you
should you have any ideas for future books in these areas.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to discuss
any other relevant ideas.

Please feel free to circulate this letter.

Yours sincerely

FRANCE
 The French government has announced that it is cancelling all
further contracts to take Australian toxic waste for incineration.

The announcement came after a shipment of PCB's was successfully
unloaded in France, amid angry protest by members of the
environmental group Greenpeace.

An earlier attempt to unload the waste in France were blocked by
Greenpeace supporters and the ships were also turned away from
ports in Brussels and Britain.

After being turned away from Belgium, the containers of Australian
PCB's were finally unloaded in France, after Greenpeace supporters
held up the cargo for two hours. Eighteen Greenpeace activists were
arrested.

The French Environment Minister has since announced France will
break the contract with Australia and will not take any more waste,
although it had agreed to accept up to 1,000 tons of PCB's for
incineration. He said Australia must develop its own waste disposal
facilities.

Greenpeace welcomed the French decision as an immense victory for
public opinion. (R. Australia 9/6)

BRITAIN
 The environmental group Greenpeace has accused the British
government of stepping up the dumping of ammunition into the
Atlantic, arguing London plans to dump more than 18,000 tons of
ammunition into the sea this year.

Greenpeace says this is more than the combined total for the last
five years, adding this practice violates the London Convention,
which establishes mandatory international rules for the disposal of
toxic waste. (R. Havana)


GERMANY
 Riots are continuing in Germany, with left-wing demonstrators
clashing with right-wing youths in the east of the country. The
leftists were protesting against four nights of attacks on a local
hostel for people seeking asylum. 

Hundreds of police were deployed in riot gear, backed by water 
cannons and tear gas grenades, to escort the 250 demonstrators who
came mainly from west Germany. They marched around the streets of
the medieval town, chanting anti-nazi slogans and fighting with
groups of local youths who taunted them with fascist slogans or
Hitler salutes.

In the four previous nights, right-wing youth threw rocks and
bottles at the refuge, attacking a peaceful anti-racist
demonstration and a group of citizens who held a silent vigil
outside the building. (R. Australia 9/13)

==================================== 
The Final Stage of the Uruguay Round 
==================================== 

George Bush understands, as have most of his predecessors, the utility 
of trade policies both to subdue domestic opposition  and to undermine 
foreign  resistance to  the presidential  will.   While  the Gulf  War 
established U.S.  military dominance in  Bush's New  World  Order, the 
economic  front is   problematic.   Domestic recession  coupled   with 
increasing   clout of  the European   and   Asian economic blocs, have 
challenged the abuility   of the U.S.  to  maintain   the advantage it 
institutionalized after World War II. 

Enter GATT, the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade.  This complex 
and seemingly obscure set of trade negotiations has been seized by the 
Bush administration to put real economic teeth into its New World 
Order.  The current and 7th round, begun in Punta del Este, Uruguay in 
1986, and therefore known as the Uruguay Round, is struggling to reach 
a conclusion.  The final draft proposal, presented to negotiating 
governments by GATT director General Arthur Dunkel on December 20, 
1991, was over 500 tediously technical pages long.  Buried in the 
poderous language are a number of extemely far-reaching policy changes 
that would, if approved by Congress, dramatically distort the shape of 
democracy as we know it in the United States today.  If President Bush 
gets his way in these GATT talks, it will also profoundly affect -in 
ways that could rival the impact of Columbus' arrival-the lives of 
indigenous and other Third World peoples.

COUNTER DEMONSTRATION IN SIMI VALLEY.

     On Sept. 12 Saturday Richard Bartnett the White Supremacist
from Mississippii is returning to SIMI VALLEY with his cohorts (
Nazis, Skinheads, the Klan etc.) to tout the glories of the King
Verdict. 
     A counter demonstration is being planned for that day at the
Court House in SIMI . The demonstration will include every
Patriotic group around including N.O.W., Greens , Green Party, All
known civil rights action group that we can get hold of. The one
matter that requires us to make a large showing is that the Simi
Valley authorities have granted a Permit to the Barnett mob but are
refusing to grant one to the counter demonstrators. To keep free
speech alive for all we had best make a good showing, permit or
not.
     We hope that all readers of this bulletin can come and send a
contingent. Call (805) 653-6006 for more details or call the GREEN
PARTY office in Ventura 805-653-6035. You may also leave a message

Via The NY Transfer News Service ~ All the News that Doesn't Fit

WW Editorial:

Jobs are a right

"There is a revolution going on in corporate America," a glowing
executive recently told the New York Times. "Companies getting
lean, faster moving and more flexible. It's never going to be the
same again."

He was talking about the epidemic of layoffs that has destroyed 2
million jobs in less than two years. An epidemic that has driven
down real wages and pushed millions of families below the poverty
line. An epidemic that has hit hardest in Black, Latino, Asian
and Native communities, where the majority of young people cannot
find jobs. An epidemic that shows no sign of ending.

But none of that matters on Wall Street. Profits are up 17
percent over last year--and that's what counts. "These profit
figures," wrote the Times, "reflect the fact that companies are
doing a much better job of controlling costs in the face of slack
demand. They are holding down wage increases and getting along
with fewer workers."

That's just great--if you happen to own a company. If you're a
millionaire or a billionaire who sits behind a mahogany desk and
lives off other people's labor. If you're one of that elite group
Marxists call the capitalist class.

To those "captains of industry," as they style themselves,
massive unemployment is not a tragedy, it's an opportunity. A
chance to break unions, freeze wages and cut benefits; a chance
to bludgeon workers into slaving longer hours for less pay.

They have good reason to do this. After all, the less workers get
paid, the greater their profits.

What will stop this corporate anti-labor offensive? Not George
Bush or Bill Clinton. They may carry on about "foreign
competition" and the "global marketplace." But neither candidate
challenges the "right" of U.S. corporations to improve their
profit margins by throwing workers on the street. It is the
capitalist system that drives the attacks on the working class.

All the wealth of this country is created by workers, not by
capitalists or politicians. And every single person in this
country has the right to a union job at union wages. But the
working class won't win that right at the ballot box. It will
have to be won in the same way the eight-hour day, the minimum
wage and affirmative action were won. With independent, united
mass action.

   "To derail concern over whether you should _support_their_policy_,
the PR system focuses attention on whether you _support_our_troops_ --
meaningless words, as empty as the question of whether you support the
people of Iowa.
   "That of course, is just the point: to reduce the population to
gibbering idiots, mouthing empty phrases and patriotic slogans, waving
ribbons, watching gladiatorial contests and the models designed for
them by the PR industry, but, crucially, not thinking or acting.
