•One example of the repression in. Viet
Nam said ven Hove is the 'introduction of the
internal passport system.Under the system,'
the people ate legally tied to the village or
town. They must receive permission from
the local authorities to go to nearby towns. In
• this system, people living in Lucknow would

reason for the trip or the person is not

In a land where simple farmers once

which determines how much they will 'be
paid. If the state is having financial
problems, farmers may work from dawn to --
dusk arid' receive nothing for their efforts.
Destruction of traditional social life is
another form of repression says ven Hove.
The people trusted their religious leaders in
the old republic. Now, the monks have been
sent away and the Buddhist priest in a

• BRIBERY WITH GOLD
Many westerners do not understand the
• process of bribery which occurs to permit a
person to fleee Southeast Asia. They read in.
• the newspapers that these people bribe their
' way out of -their country with gold.
Mr. ven Hove describes the igold these
people.. have' as being similar to family
heirlooms treasured by Canadian families.
The gold is in the forth of family heirlooms
from weddings and Buddhist family cere-
monies which has been handed down from
one generation to another. Just as Canadian
families have old wedding rings belonging to
their great-grandparents and jewellery and
antique furniture, the Asians have gold.
They gather together their heirlooms and
transformit into a form which an be used to

allow them to get out of the country.
• The fact that 'the refugees have gold in
their possession to bribe their way out of
their country does not mean they are rich.
The common attitude is if these people are
rich, why do they need the help of sponsors
. in other countries.
