New Year resolution
Rae Masse, Ft, Steele, B.C.

_ Writes; I am one lone individual

of the multitude of mankind, away
out on Brewery Creek, up Down-
drift Gulch, out of old historic
Fort Steele, For my one and only
Tesolution in this Canadian Cen-

tennial Year { present for you
the following:

Whereas I am so vitally con-
Cerned about ending the dirty
war in Vietnam, it still seems to
Me that a conditional, negotiated

Peace is not the answer to this

bloody Senseless war,

It should be resolved by all that
€Se insane marauding barbar-
Ns from the ‘‘Land of the Free”
5 driven from the land of the
Pee nese People, And that they
: Made a living spectacle and
Xample before the eyes anc
“ae of all the peoples in this
orld, That the U.S, bullies be
Pees to their knees, and taught
= a this enlightened age of
a th century that might is no
Ber right. That the power: of
fis almighty” dollar be at long

Ba scrge Collins, Vancouver,
ites; I am sending in a scarce

a

warmongers, and in-:

dollar to begin the New Year
right. Not that I’m a slave to
the calendar, which seems to be
an excuse in many quarters to
celebrate something or other.

I believe that maybe a failing
among too many people is waiting
for aconventionally ordained mo-
ment before a progressive effort
is made, This shows itself plainly
in the Pacific Tribune when we
sum up the progressive efforts of
the paper at the ‘year’s end.

Meanwhile the political picture
shows some improvement in other
parts of the world, and has given
the UN a bit of a boost as an
effective world body. Somehow the
image of Canadianism is modified
somewhat in the process. More of
the world’s people note the poli-
tical atmosphere of Canadian liv-
ing, which is incompatible with
the production level of its inhabi-
tants.

Not only Canadian labor in gen-
eral, but the progressive element
of labor should especially feel a
little more disposed to Canadian
welfare with the means at hand,
The PT has been of this quality
west of the Rockies in the life-
time of some of its supporters.

The level of support should be
more of a persistent quality,
which some of our more progres-=
sive forbears showed in the ini-
tial stages in the creation of trade
unions and a fighting press in
early British Columbia.

ALD. RANKIN
TO REPORT
TO VOTERS

“I feel it is my duty to report
back regularly to voters and to
labor on business being dealt
with by City Council and my
stand on issues as they arise,”
said Alderman Harry Rankin
this week in a letter to labor
papers in Vancouver.

Rankin announced that he pro-
poses to prepare brief reports
at regular intervals for labor
papers dealing with questions
of general concern to all Van-
couver residents as well as issues
of specific and particular concern
to labor. z=

“Citizens need this infermation
to form intelligent opinions on
issues and have a right to know
where their elected representa-
tives stand,” said Rankin.

| eR Viet medical aid

passes $20,000

The Canadian Aid for Vietnam
Civilians in Vancouver announced
this week in its bulletin that it
had raised $20,000 and was now
aiming to reach $50,000 for medi-
cal aid in 1967,

When the group was first
formed last January it set itself
a $20,000 target which was com-
pleted in December. The response
to the appeal of the Committee,
headed by Dr, A. Inglis, has come
from all across Canada.

In January the Committee is
planning to extend its drive. A
special printed brochure is being
mailed out to hundreds of trade
union locals along with a cover-
ing letter appealing for contribu-
tions for medical aid.

Also, in January, hundreds of
people will receive two copies of
a special two-color appeal for
medical aid for Vietnam with a
request that they be mailed to
friends who might contribute to
this humanitarian aim, The pur-
pose of this project is to extend
the appeal beyond the circle of,
people who have already made
contributions,

The December-January bulle-
tin says: “We urge those who
have contributed so generously
to see their friends and askthem
to help. With the increased bomb-=

ing many more civilians are in
need of medical aid.”

Monday of this week Dr, A,
Inglis sent a letter to all news-
papers welcoming the aid the
Federal government has decid-
ed to give to South Vietnam, but
criticising Ottawa for failing to
extend aid to all Vietnam, on the
basis of strict impartiality,

“The needs of civilians in
South Vietnam are very great
and according to the Internation-
al Committee of the Red Cross,
help is most desperately needed
in North Vietnam and regions
under control of the National Lib-
eration Front in: South Vietnam,
That is so because these areas
are under constant heavy and
increasing attack by U.S. forces.”

Inglis points to the recent
stand of the Canadian Council of
Churches which asked the Gov-
ernment to extend aid to both
North and South Vietnam, and
urges Ottawa on behalf of the
Canadian Aid for Vietnam Civili-
ans, “to render aid to the whole
of Vietnam — and we hope others
will join in these representa-
tions,” :

Contributions for medical aid
can be sent to the Canadian Aid
for Vietnam Civilians, P.O, Box

‘House should give top
priority fo prices probe’

“Parliament must take up the
interim report of the Joint Com-
mittee on Consumer Prices as
top priority business,” said a
statement released by the Central
Executive of the Communist Party
of Canada this week.

The statement said:

“The Canadian people cannot
accept as satisfactory the report
of a committee which has inves-
tigated soaring food prices for
several months, and still cannot
say who is to blame.

“On the basis of the clear evi-
dence before the committee, the
guilt rests squarely on the great
food trusts controlled by men
like Garfield Weston and E, P,
Taylor, They have used their
monopoly position to wipe out
competition and to jack up the
price of food far beyond its real
value — despite the efficiency of
modern production and merchan-
dizing methods, They have ex-
tended their control of food pro-
cessing from the producer to the
consumer. :

establish

“These trusts must be broken

up in the public interest. Ifpres-
ent anti-combine legislation is”

too weak to do this, then new
laws must be passed, The gov-
ernment must stand ready, if
necessary, to take over food
processing and distribution and
operate it as a public enterprise,

“As a first step, a Prices
Review Board must be set up
with full power to deny the food
tycoons the right to raise their
prices,

“We believe the recommenda-
tion of the Committee for a De-
partment of Consumer affairs
has merit, providing that that
department is given the person-
nel and the effective power to
clearly
standards of quality and: packag-
ing, to wipe out the sale gimicks
which the big chains now use to
mislead the consumer, to limit
the vast spending on advertising
and to police a genuine code of
ethics in merchandizing,
