MITCHELL From Page 2


Dr Mitchell said it is a well known fact
that smuggling is a way of life in that
constituency.

"if we are serious about law and order,
he said, " whether it is our sister or
brother or family or whatever, we
cannot tolerate wrong doing in the
name of not affecting the consti t uencfy
of an individual in Parliament."

in a television interview in 1989, on
which he appeared with the Prime
Minister, Dr Mitchell said. Mr
Brathwaite told the nation that, as far
as he knew, no smuggling was taking
place in Carriacou.

That was a dishonest statements nd a
serious mistake by the Prime Minis ler.
Dr Mitchell said, and Governmentns
handling of this problem (which is
adversely affecting legitimate
businesses in the State) seems to
indicate that smuggling in Carriacou is
condoned by Government.
