SOLIDARITY OF PAX CHRISTI WITH SPANISH WORKERS COMMISSIONS UTRECHT — Cardinal Bernhard Alfink, primate of the Nether- lands and international president of the Pax Christi movement, has sent a telegram to the cardinal of Barcelona, Msgr. Jubany Arnau, in which he expressed the solidarity of his movement with the Spanish Workers Commissions. ; “Trial 1001,” the telegram of Jan. 7 stated, “has again shown the absence of fundamental rights in Spain, such as the right of assembly and the right of association, the free expression of the press, etc. The leaders of the Workers Commissions deserve our solidarity in their attempts to gain these rights.” TORONTO — “The United regional under - development Special to the Tribune TORONTO — Two hotels here have become temporary homes for almost 200 Chileans and other Latin American nationals who finally arrived in Can- ada. Many of them had spent the last month sequestered inside the Canadian embassy; others had arrived from Pan- ama and Honduras, where they had fled to escape the wrath of the fascist The victims of fascist terror in Chile are not only those murdered, imprisoned and tortured. Thousands of Chileans have been forced to leave that country in order to save their lives from the wrath of the military junta. Last week almost 220 refugees from Chilean fas- cism arrived in Canada. Although these have escaped, the Chilean people still face continuing terror and repression by the Pinochet — regime. to the tune of half a billion dol- er development of the Canadian States is not short of energy. Actually it has more energy than Canada,”: charged William Kashtan, general secretary of the Communist Party of Canada in a letter to the National Energy Board released to the press Jan. 10. Mr. Kashtan went on _ to charge that the United States wants ‘“‘to conserve its own energy resources and reserves while using up the energy of other countries.” The Communist leader called for an all-Canadian energy _pol- ity which effectively controls resource use and develops it in the interests of independent conomic development, an ex- Pandiag economy, elimination of regional inequality and rising _ Standards of living. i _He Sharply criticized Cane- dian. monopoly interests and Successive Liberal, Conservative and Social Credit governments for deliberately perpetuating through their calculated stifling of industrialization. Their poli- cies, he said, have relegated the under-developed regions of Can- ada to the status of resource and raw material preserves for Canadian’ monopoly interests, the U.S. trusts and multi-nation- al corporations. Public Ownership The Communist Party, Mr. Kashtan. said, wants a National Petroleum and. Energy. Corpora- tion under public ownership em- bracing all aspects of energy as an urgent requirement for lay- ing an industrial base to end regional inequality, for balanced Camadian economic development, Canadian sovereignty and inde- pendence. The Party is demanding price controls over petroleum and uni- form prices throughout the country. and proposes. a govern- ment subsidy. to ensure this. The government, the Communist leader said, subsidized industry lars in addition to other meas- ures to ensure their continuing high profits. Consequently it should not be difficult to estab- lish uniform fuel prices, backed by price controls, so as to en- sure adequate supply to all parts of Canada at a reasonable price. The export tax and an additiinal , tax on the multi-national oil corporations could make this possible. Five Proposals Mr. Kashtan made five propo- sals which the Communist Party says would help meet the pre- sent urgent needs. They are: 1. Firm Canadian control must be established over Canada’s energy resources at every stage of their development. This can onty be done threugh public ownership and democratic con- trol. Without this safeguard the Canadian people will lose price- less and irreplaceable assets which are decisive for the furth- ‘cerned, economy. 2. The inter-provincial pipe- line to Montreal should be built on an all Canadian route’ in order to ensure security of sup- ply. to the eastern market. Public ownership and democratic cont- rol of the pipeline could at the same time make certain that prices will be uniform in all parts of the country. As steps in that direction price controls should be instituted now over fuels and. a standard price at the lowest possible level estab- lished for all parts of Canada, with a government subsidy to make that effective. 3. A Canadian Petroleum and Energy Corporation should be established under public owner- shi) to undertake exploration, development, distribution of petroleum. Through consultation and agree- ment with the provinces con- developnient of the Athabaska Tar Sands, the North production and = ———— Chilean refugees finally in Canada junta. The first three days of their lives in Canada have been utter confusion. Even the fact that they are here at all is surrounded in a maze of govern- ment waffling and double-dealing., Un- der pressure from church organiza- tions, the labor movement, committees of solidarity with Chile, and others, the Canadian government was finally mov- ed, last Nov. 30, to announce that an undisclosed number of people forced to seek refuge from the fascist junta would be - allowed into Canada (the num- ber first quoted by Robert An- dras, Minister of Immigration and Manpower, was 600 peo- ple). ‘ Since then, proceedings have been surrounded in secrecy and RCMP screenings. Although some of those who recently ar- rived went through normal immigration procedures, 55 Chileans were admitted to the Canadian embassy early in De- cember in operations: coordinat- ed with the help of church groups in Santiago. Others, the non-Chileans, were admitted through the aus- pices of the United Nations, which had opened refugee camps in Chile for their protection. Many have harrowing person- “al stories to tell of their lives after the coup. Somes were sought by the military on trump- Continued on page 10 and the Arctic should be under- taken. Independent Policy 4. Only after the long-term needs of Canada are fully satis- fied shall surpluses of gas and oil be made available for export. 5. The aim of an all Canadian energy policy should be not the sale of raw material resources, including energy, but the sale. of the products of these res- ources, Petro- chemical indus- tries should be built wherever energy resources are found im abundance. In this way addi- tional jobs will be created, living standards raised and Canadian independence strengthened. The aim of an all Canadian energy policy should be the transform- ation of Canada into a great independent industrial _ state, persuing an independent fereign policy and developing extensive and mutually satisfactory trade with the socialist countries and all other countries in the world.
