The crippied tanker THE COLLISION off the Isle of Wight between the 'Allegro' and the Pacific Glory', which left a tanker aground, on fire and leaking oil, was, by any standards, a disaster. Eight men were killed in the explosion which followed the collision, and hundreds of tons of floating oil threatened the coastline. But it could hardly be described as an unpredictable disaster. In fact, since the 'Torrey Canyon' ran aground three years ago and polluted the Cornish coast experts have re- peatedly warned that a similar disaster was almost inevitable.

The giant tankers are a rela- tively new kind of vessel. They are among the largest ships afloat and have been built in large numbers since the clo- sure of Suez made the Cape route a necessity for Mid-East oil imports. Japanese yards are currently building tankers up to half a million tons, and even bigger ' ships are the drawing on boards. Crowded In the crowded shipping lanes around Britain the lack of manoeuvrability and the speed of these ships poses big dangers. Their stopping distance is about six miles and since they travel at about 16 knots the tankers are extremely vulner- able. Their cargoes are highly inflammable, increasing the risk involved in even slight collisions. And they are bound only by rules of road developed in the days of sail. These problems are a night- mare in themselves, but they exacerbated by others are Meeting of estate workers in Matale. nationalization of the banks is in the coalition government manifesto, they cannot go ahead because of the immense amount of loans given to the Ceylon government. It is certain that the coalition government is not going to change the economic structure of Ceylon which is crippled tanker Pacific Glory sinking off the Isle of which spring from the oil and shipping companies' all-out profit drive. • Tanker schedules are calculated so as to wring the last ounce of work out of the huge ships. Turn-round times have to be strictly adhered to and ships enter port on tide and leave on the one next. Added risk Productivity deals involving of flexibility mobility and labour have added to the risk.

Under these deals key jobs concerning the safety of the entire ship can be entrusted to men who lack thorough train- ing. Under-crewing—with con- sequent overwork - provides its own hazards of tiredness and inattention. Flags of convenience are another of danger. source Standards required of ships' the rules of officers under some of these 'convenience' countries may be much laxer than they ought. And the tankers themselves may be less than adequately tested for safety. All these factors contribute towards the hazards of a really bumper tanker disaster.

Britain is a prime target. The English Channel is one of the world's busiest waterways, and with many archaic regula- tions still operating, it is one of the most dangerous. With all these dangers, it is only a matter of time, accord- ing to many experts, before a tanker disaster engulfs the whole South coast in oil.

These are not 'trade union' struggles, but for life itself.

The industrial wage minimum is about 8s a day and even young engineers and doctors earn only about £6 a week. These wages are higher than those of the landless peasants and above the average income of the "peasant producers'.

Wages-direct or indirect-are related to the average life expec- tancy, which is 35 years-half that in the oppressor nations.
