ments, all calculated to freeze
wages.

Cake for the rich and crumbs
for the poor, this is the content
of the Turner budget.

To create employment re-
quires a budget which is direct-

ed to expand the purchasing
power of the people and thus
expand the home market. Pur-
chasing power can be expanded
by reducing taxes, direct and
indirect on low and middle in-
come groups, by expanding
social security measures, by a
drastic increase in pensions to
at least $100.00 per week for
married and by pursuing policies
which will raise wages and in-
comes for the working people
of our country.

Canada needs a budget for
people, to raise standards,
create jobs and strengthen inde-
pendence. Mr. Turner has moved
in the opposite direction. He has
presented a budget for the cor-
porations, particularly the U.S.
corporations, and for the
wealthy.

Call on party chiefs
to tell U.S. to stop

"President Nixon's blockade of North
Vietnam's ports and harbors is a mad

act of desperation bringing the world
to the brink of war. The Government
and Parliament cannot be silent at this
time. We urge you to condemn this mad-
ness, demand Nixon end the bombing,
lift the blockade, get back to negofia-
tions and out of Vietnam."

This was the text of a telegram sent
on Tuesday to Prime Minister Trudeau,
Conservative leader Stanfield, NDP
leader Lewis and Creditiste leader
Caouette by the Central Executive of

the Communist Party.

Earlier the party's leaders issued a .

ress release declaring: "President
Nixon's act of desperation has brought
the world to the brink of war. His deci-
sion to mine and blockade the ap-
proaches and harbors of the Democratic

Republic of Vietnam is not only an act

of desperation, a measure of the bank-

ruptcy of his policy of Vietnamization,

A statement issued Tuesday
by the Canadian Peace Congress
points out that “steps are under-
way to bring all Toronto peace
groups together in a united ac-
tion to stop the bombing, lift the
embargo, get back to negotia-
tions, and get out of Vietnam.

“United demonstrations in all
major centres across the country
is the need of the hour to stop
Nixon’s mad gamble with the

eace of the world,” is the call
of the Canadian Peace Congress,
signed by organizational secret-
ary Alex McLennen.

In a wire to President Nixon

it is equally a threat to world peace. By
choosing the futile and dangerous course
of military escalation and military vic-
tory he is taking the world on a course
which could lead to a third world war.

"With world peace in the balance
neither the Government nor Parliament
can remain silent. They must condemn
this desperate gamble with the fate of
the world and demand that the Nixon
Government stop the bombing, lift the
blockade, get back to negotiations and
withdraw its troops from Vietnam and
allow the people to determine their own
affairs free of outside interference.

"Now is the time when all democratic
and peace loving forces in Canada and
labor in the first place need to unite
their efforts in a powerful movement to
compel the Nixon Government to stop
the killings by withdrawing from Viet-
nam.

"If Nixon wants to commit political
suicide, let him, but don't allow him to
tear the world down."

ister Trudeau the Congress calls
Nixon’s action ‘“‘a criminal act’
and “a brazen violation of inter-
national law” that constitutes
“the most alarming danger to
world peace.”

Washington to rescind their
order and insist that the parties
involved go back to the confer-
ence table and negotiate the set-
tlement of the confiict in Viet-
nam in good faith,” the wire
concludes. “We urge you, Mr.
Prime Minister, in the name of
peace, to speak out in Parlia-
ment on this question.”
