Yes, that IS a wolf; and he’s at the Tribune’s door — or soon Will be if we don’t pick up the pace of our annual financial drive. We're Not trying to frighten anyone, but with only five weeks left 'n the drive period, we're still nearly $20,000 away from our goal Of $40,000. That means we need $4,000 each and every week between now and June 19 to make that $40,000 which we need to continue our Operations. The next few weeks will be crucial to the success of our drive. € will have to start now in making the big push that will not ow teach the $40,000 figure, but put us substantially over the Op. Already, a number of areas have shown us the way. Surrey has raised more than $500 above their quota of $1,500. Burnaby has Surpassed their target figure of $1,800. And Campbell River has turned in more, than we had asked them for. And a number of Other clubs are pushing the three leaders, including Vancouver East which has raised over $2,200, and North Vancouver which has turned in more than $1,400. But, some of the other areas are falling further and further behind each day. We know that the support for our paper is there, and we know that our readers are willing and eager to donate to our drive. But, they have to be asked. : As we push on into the second half of our drive, this is no i time to falter. To ensure that June 19 will be a real victory ¢ | Celebration we can’t leave anything to chance. Every possible f Onation, no matter how large or how small must be collected, and every club must oversubscribe its quota. ; ‘ Sth ial (BY DRIVEL New energy policy urged A call for an all-Canadian energy policy based on public ownership was made last week by. William Kashtan, Canadian Communist Party leader on behalf of the party’s central executive. The~ letter, -sent “to”. Prime Minister Trudeau and leaders of opposition parties as well as all provincial leaders, said Canada is confronted with a major energy crisis as a result of past and present policies of Liberal and Tory governments. “Instead of adopting an_ all- Canadian energy policy based on public ownership, these govern- ments have, and continue, to open the door to the takeover of energy resources by U.S. multinationals. This is the cause of the crisis.” The letter said: “The crisis will continue and deepen until an all-Canadian energy policy is adopted. “‘A world price for energy, as proposed by the federal govern- ment and some _ provincial governments, will not resolve the crisis. All it will do is guarantee maximum profits for the multi- national corporations and the extension of their ownership of an invaluable resource using Canadian taxpayers’ money. “A world price for energy will stimulate inflation, add to the cost of living and to the cost of production in industry. In turn it will lead to unemployment. This is not a policy. It is criminal folly. “The Communist Party of Canada insists that the two-price system for energy be maintained, one for exports, the other for the internal market. All exports of energy should either be tapered off at an accelerated pace or annulled completely. Instead of playing with words about self-reliance or _ self- sufficiency the federal and provincial governments must agree to the adoption of an all- Canadian energy policy based on public ownership of all energy resources of which there are ample supplies in Canada. This would ensure adequate supplies of energy for in- dustrialization and for the in- dependent economic development of all parts of the country. The whole of Canada and all her people would be the beneficiaries of such a policy rather than selfish and narrow interests of the multi- national corporations.” Miners leader mourned A veteran trade unionist, who played a leading role during the 30s in bringing trade union organization to the coal miners on Vancouver Island, Thomas Edgar Webb, passed away in Victoria on April 30 after a long illness. He was 76 years of age. Born in England, he came to Canada as a young man and went to workin the Nanaimo coal mines. During the ’30s, when being a member of a union on Vancouver Island meant you had to work underground or face being fired and blacklisted throughout B.C., Webb was one of a band of Com- munist miners and woodworkers, who during this period built the unions underground in the mines and woods until they became strong enough to come out in the open and challenge the employers. When the United Mine Workers of America finally issued its charter to the Nanaimo coal miners, and the union came out in the open, Webb was elected its first president. For many years he remained a popular miners’ leader, fighting to bring in many improvements for miners, until ill health struck him down. During World War II he served in ‘the Canadian Scottish Regiment. Funeral service was held in Sands Westwood Chapel of Flowers in Nanaimo, Wednesday, May 5. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Ivan (Annie) Brown of Nanaimo.
