Soviet Bloc Press Slams Nixon China Trip as Baseball Diplomacy
Hungarian and Polish papers condemn the Nixon China visit as base ball diplomacy while the Soviet Union stays silent. Cairo papers call it a grave shift in power, with Al Ahram praising the move as power politics and Al Gumhuriya calling it wise. In Warsaw and Budapest reactions flag the potential complications and strategic realignments. Egypt maintains official silence amid a 15 year Soviet friendship treaty. Abba Eban endorses face to face talks and Vietnam’s Tran Van Lam welcomes world leader initiatives toward peace. The strongest Asian opposition comes from Nationalist China supporters in Hong Kong.

Paper theft years raises RCMP security questions
The federal government dismissed the theft of confidential RCMP papers from a Long Sault Ontario station as unimportant while reports say the documents could endanger lives. Dr Morton Shulman said a buyer offered 5000 for their return and 20000 during negotiations, a claim tied to a James Bond like scenario. The Globe and Mail said the papers, including RCMP informer files and organized crime material, raise serious questions about RCMP security and investigative methods. GCoyer downplayed the incident noting no major event. Detachments nationwide would require heavy investment to guard against such leaks. The Long Sault detachment was described as unimportant despite the risk.
