Why refugees in Lithuania? The camp is full of refugees from all over the world. Many are from the old USSR. However many are also from the Indian This begs the question as to are Indians, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and Afghanis doing in Lithuania? There is a two-fold answer. First they were double-crossed by criminal racketeers who, for a fortune. promised to them into mainland Second the tries of the European are intent on creating a ring of buffer client states which will operate as a first from Fortress Europe.

Not yet fully capitalist, but in transition to capitalism, their role is to act as buffer zones to control migration into Europe.

The LithuaDave Landau ON FRIDAY 17 September People Against Eugenics, a coalition supported by the Genetics Engineering Network, Disability Action Network, National Assembly Against Racism, Searchlight and the Jewish Socialist Group, stopped a meeting of the Galton Institute from hearing racist speakers, Clyde Whitney and Arthur Jensen.
The Galton Insitute, which used to be called the Eugenics Society, had its two day annual conference in the meeting hall of the Royal Zoological Society.
The Institute has the support of a number of respectable academics and had speakers from organisa. tions such as Marie Stopes International as well as an Oxford Professor.
On the same platform was Richard Lynn who, on the Thursday spoke about creating a "quality population in the new millenium and was interviewed in the far right magazine "Right Now" advocating immigration control to prevent race mixing. which would pollute the British genetic stock.
On the Friday Glayde Whitney. who wrote a laudatory foreword to a book by David Duke, former leader of the Klu Klux Klan, which claims that jews and blacks are conspiring against white Americans, was due to speak. He was to be followed by the Annual Galton Lecture, which was to be given by Arthur Jensen, who claims that the IQ difference between black and white people in the USA is genetically caused, and that "Headstart" programmes to improve An enci achievment are therefore a waste of money Before Whitney was due to speak, a woman from People Against Eugenics stood up and exposed Lynn, Whitney and Jensen for the vile racists and anti-disabilists they are. The Chair was trying to shut her up and a group of Eugenicists were just about to manhandle her when they were surprised by about 20 activists who stormed the platform, unfurling a banner with the slogan Diversity not DiscriminaSocialists against racism and fascism Essays by 12 authors including Ernest Mandel 130 pages £5.00 including postage from Socialist Outlook, PO Box 1109, London N4 2UU After a frank exchange of views the eugenicists retired to the foyer to await the arrival of the polico, comforting themselves with remarks like, "they must have escaped from the zoo".
However, they were to be disappointed because the Royal Zoolog ical society declaco that discredon was the better part of the valour and decided that it was unwise for the meeting to continue.
People Against Eugenics occupied the hall until it was clear that most people had gone home and then came out to talk to awaiting journalists.
Jensen never gave the Galton Lecture and was last seen leaving Regents Park in a hurry with some genetically modified tomatoes splattered across his shirt.
