“Maximizing this profit de-
pends on being able to infiuence
the market to make it behave as
they want it to, which is to their
advantage and our disadvantage.
By being national and interna-
tional in scope, the corporations
are able to move. production
from one part of the country or
continent, to the other, thus de-
feating the efforts of farmers
who try to counervail this power
by using regional, provincial or
commodity organization.

“As a further — insurance
against any intrusion in this
area of exploitation, corpora-
tions use a portion of the pro-
fits accrued to manipulate the
politicians, to get the right kind
of laws passed to allow them to
keep on doing it.

“As world-wide organizations
continue to merge, creating
larger conglomerates, we must
recognize the concentration of
economic power at the com-
mand of a very few people, and
in the light of this, how reluc-

tant and helpless politicians are .

to challenge it.”

Mr. Miller made a strong plea
for national farmers’ unity, as
did the women’s president, Mrs.
Veronica Opsitnik, who said:

“Qur purpose as an organiza-
tion is to be progressive and ac-
tive, and have the daring and
courage to change antiquated
jurisdiction structures and insti-
tutions that bind and confine
farmers from being effecive...

“Corporations operate _ and
structure, not as individuals by
commodity, in regions, in prov-

inces, in compliance with the:

BNA Act, but have crossed

provincial boundaries, national’

boundaries, and are internation-
al, merged and in control of all
types of commodities, regulate
production, in control of the
market place, in control of set-
ting prices for the products we
buy and sell. we
“Farmers, by forming the Na-
tional Farmers’ Union, are now
in a position to do the same. We
are organizing as farmers re-
gardless of commodity or re-
gion because we have learned
that the problem of the western
grain farmer is that of the east-
ern livestock feeder, and that
applies right across the board.”

outlook. From the simple demand

—respect people!—the child will’

be led with time to an under-
standing of internationalism and
to a readiness to be friends with
the people of other races and
nationalities, to help them if
their cause is just. There is a
straight line which leads from
the demand to teach others
everything you know yourself to
collectivism, mutual help and
assistance. :

Firm conviction demonstrates
strength of will. Without convic-
tion life is impossible; it lacks
courage, heroism, is devoid of a
spark of beauty in day-by-day
contacts. Without it one cannot
be a good citizen.

The child who ‘studies history
will be enthralled by the names
of Galileo and Giordano Bruno,

the Russian Decembrists and -

French Communards (In Canada
Louis Riel, Mackenzie, Papineau,
Dr. Norman Bethune) the leaders
of the proletariat and heroes who
have fought for the freedom of
their country. This study could
begin with leafing through the
family album. The boy looks at
the portrait of the grandfather:
a man with youthful eyes, stub-
born lines at his mouth and a
dimple in his chin; a fine, hand-
some face. The child has heard
that his grandfather was impris-
oned for 16 years in the Schlus-
selburg Fortress for his partici-
pation in revolutionary struggles.
But details are important; those
details which bring his grand-
father close to the understanding
of the 14-year-old boy. His par-
ents must see to it that these
details are provided. Isn’t that.

Sometimes we call this “edu-
cation based on traditions.”
Wonderful traditions exist in
many families. And here our
children who so love the role of
pathfinders have an enormous
field of activity. Let them find
out everything about their wor-
thy forefathers, let them write
it all down, and tell their young-
er brothers and sisters how their
grandfathers built great cities
and brought to fruition wonder-
ful projects where there had been
nothing before. That is how the
that life could
not be lived otherwise. :

The children of one Moscow
school started a game — who
could do the greatest number of
useful things for their school in
secret. Since then the headquar-
ters of the game have received
the following reports: “The ink
spot that has been on the. wall
in the corridor on the second
floor for three days has disap-
peared today. Nobody knows
who removed it or when.” The
next day it was: “An unknown
group of children brought 50 pots
of Parma violets to decorate the
window sills of the biology room
and school corridors.” After that
the school children left six films,
showing pictures they had taken
during hiking tours in the North,
South, East and West of the
country. Even the leader of this
tourist group, the geography
teacher, or any other teachers,
never knew who had shot the
films.

This game is very popular
with school children. It makes
them proud of their comrades.:
They take part in it with great
pleasure and devote their time,
inventiveness and labor unstint-

ingly. to their school, Paes hod

Pablo Neruda, world-renowned poet, has
been nominated the Communist Party's candi-
date for President of Chile. Neruda heads the
list of Communist nominees for office in the
coming national election.

The nomination of the renowned poet and
holder of the Lenin peace prize was hailed at
a meeting of thousands of workers in Santiago,
where Neruda was presented as the railroad

fighter for peace and justice.

Neruda pledged that he would devote all.

~ Distortions of
events in Egypt —

The press of the United States,
and a number of other Western
countries, has launched a fever-
ish anti-Arab and anti-Soviet
campaign. Imperialist, reaction-
ary propaganda has endlessly
tried to hamper the steady devel-
opment of friendship and __co-
operation between the Soviet
Union and the Arab countries.

The reshuffling of officials in
the UAR Arab Socialist Union
and the Egyptian armed forces,
which was reported also in the
Soviet press, was the cause for
the latest fit of inspiration in
the propaganda machine of im-
perialism. It is clear to all sober-
minded people that such reshuf-
flings are not something out of
the ordinary, that the point at
issue is the distribution of the.
cadres inside the country in such
a way as to most expediently
conform to the tasks facing the
United Arab Republic and its
peoples.

The facts presented to the
public have been treated in an
absurd and unscrupulous way.

The Cairo Al Ahram recently
wrote as follows about this:
“The United Arab Republic has
in the past days become the ob-
ject“of a purposeful, previously
prepared’ propaganda campaign
in the course of which certain
facts have been treated wrongly.

Egypt. Furthermore, that a coup
detat has supposedly already,
or nearly taken place . ... One of
the newspapers, followed by the -
Western agencies, reported that
Ali Sabry, member of the higher
Executive Committee of the
Arab Socialist Union prepared .
the coup, and that the Soviet
Unioh was involved in this at--
tempt, At the same time, they
based themselves, on the one
hand, on the fact that Ali Sabry
did not perform his ordinary ac-
tivities in the Arab Socialist
Union, and on the other, on cer-
tain new appointments made in
the armed forces of the United
Arab Republic and changes in
the leadership of one of the lead-
ing newspapers. Al Ahram
stresses that the psychological
war and all kinds of tricks in
which certain United States or-
gans have achieved such great
art, aré doomed to failure and
that fighting Egypt will not de- _
part from its principles .and
national interests.

Western propaganda has
launched the latest campaign not
because they feel secure, other-
wise why resort to such falsifi-
cation and deception of the pub-
lic? They would like to divert
attention. from the anti-Arab
policy of the imperialists who
render active assistance to Isra-
el’s aggressive policy. At the

~ same time they of course try to

cast aspersions on U.S.S.R. po-
licy in relation ,to the Arab ©
countries. But the falsification
of facts will not change the real
state of affairs. _—Pravda
