The above cartoon apppeared in a recent issue of The Fisher- man, organ of the United Fishermenand Allied Worker’s Union New recipe for Canadian cake The Vancouver Women’s Committee of the Communist Party has issued an election leaflet in which it gives the follow ing recipe for a “Johnny Canuck Cake”: First, check all ingredients for the “Canada First’’ label, using- the same items and quantities as in a Yankee Stew. Take raw logs, cut, trim and mold into various sizes and shapes, as boards, furni- ture, houses, plywood; cull out less likely logs and flake, soften and cook; roll into newsprint, paper, cardboard boxes, envelopes and other finished products. Add natural gas, water power, minerals and_ land; combine with people to make steel, Canadian motor cars, engines, etc.; blend with un- employed until fully dis- solved; put in warm place such as China and Cuba; -re- place with such ingredients as sugar, silk and spices. Take Bomarc bases and other armaments and remove from backs of Canadian peo- ple. Shape large arms bud- get then remaining into schools and_ hospitals; fill with trained personnel and modern equipment. Use gen- erous amount still left to cut, fill, spread and top new roads. Mold remainder into high- er old age pensions and na- tional health insurance. Cut all ties with NATO, NORAD, and other military alliances. Knead Canadian foreign policy, throwing out all evi- dences of foreign domination; shape into Canadian neutral- ity, garnishing well with free- dom and independence. WILL SERVE 18 MILLION CANADIANS! The leaflet, which is beam- er at women voters, poses this “Johnny Canuck Cake”’ as an alternative to a mess of “Yankee Stew,” which can only be digested with the aid of generous helpings of Diefenbaker - Pearson brand castor oil, and states: “For best results on the Johnny Canuck Cake, vote Tom McEwen in Vancouver East and William Stewart in Vancouver South.

The DBS figures under- mined claims by Tory Trade Minister Hees that Canada was in for a trade surplus of exports over imports this year. : Last year was. the first time in a decade Canada ex- perienced such a surplus, but observers noted this was due to the sale of grain to China. March imports showed an increase of 16.4% while ex- ports rose by only 9% to give a‘trade deficit of $55 million as against $19 million in the same period a year ago. The import jump came de- spite government efforts to devalue the Canadian dollar and this was seen as evidence that the recent pegging of the Canadian dollar at 92% cents (U.S.) did not contain the Tory-promised vision of expanded export markets for Canadian goods. DOMINATION CONTINUES The DBS figures offered evidence that U.S. domina- tion of the economy, initiated by the former Liberal gov- ernments, was steadily con- tinuing. Biggest factor in the higher import figure was an fewer jobs—especially of skilleq nature — than lost through the jumP imports from the U.S.—?? on a short- and longté basis.
