More budget changes announced by Gordon Liberal Finance Minister Walter Gordon announced his latest re- Visions of the current natianal budget last Monday night in the House of Commons. The addi- tional changes make a shambles of the original Gordon budget, brought down in the House early in June. In bowing to pressures brought to bear by varie business inter- ests he further accented the al- ready unprecedented bumps and bruises sustained by his own im- age and that of the Liberal party. Main changes announced were: ® The controversial 11 percent Sales tax on building materials and manufacturing equipment and machinery was slashed to four percent. From there it will move up to the original tariff in stages by January 1, 1965; ¢ Exempted printing and pub- lishing businesses from the same _ tax, but offered nothing for ma- terials consumed or expended in other manufacturing processes; MOON SPACESHIP Nit Dyad in the London Daily Worke: “Im!

Many of the so-called economic experts, in commenting on the latest budget amendments, felt that despite the repeated changes “there is still too much left hang- ing.” Even the Business Columnist of the Vancouver Province, Pat Carney, felt compelled to observe: “Critics charged that Gordon went at his goal.of reducing for- eign ownership of Canadian com. panies the wrong way “His budget revis‘ons now ap- pear te permit an American of- ficial, resident in Canada, to qualify as a ‘Canadian’ in defin- ing wheffer Canadians constitute 25 percent of a company’s board of directors. This is Canadian cwnership?”’ Seme cbservers make the point that Gerdon was and remains on the horns of a dilemma. While taking steps that superficially ap- pear te be designed tc curtail foreign cwnership, he has to re- member whose money it was that got him and his party elected. Ghana warns British about S. Rhodesia Last Monday the government of Ghana sent a diplomatic note to Britain pointing out “the grave situation likely to arise’’ if Brit- ain gives further powers to the colony of Southern Rhodesia. The colony is headed by a notorious white supremacist government. The note urged Britain to take the ‘present opportunity “to end racial discrimination and unrep- resentative government in the colony.” There would be ‘‘serious consequences” if Britain failed to do so, said the note, recalling decisions of the United Nations and the Adis Ababa unity con- ference. It recalled that when the fed. eration of Rhodesia and Nyasa- land was formed in 1953, Southern Rhodesia: was prohibited from legislating on external affairs or defence. . Following the dissolution of the federation at the end. of this year, the return of these powers to Southern Rhodesia ‘“‘will raise the most serious international is- sues,” the note warned. It said Britain has ‘‘a moral - responsibility’ to see that “no transfer. of power takes place “until suitable safeguards are as- sured.” McCarran appeal case opens The appea. of the Communist Party of the USA to have a lower court conviction set aside recently opened before the Court of Ap- peals in Washington, D.C. The party was convicted some months” ago of violating the McCarran Act by failing to register as an agent of a foreign power and was fined $120,000. In commenting on the appeal hearing, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, chairman of the. Gus Hall-Ben-_ ‘jamin J. Davis Defence Commit- tee, stated: “The logic of all the questions asked by the judges and the argumentation presented in this hearing would be to dis- miss the case outright. “But,” she added, ‘“‘this logic must be backed by the pecple’s insistent protests against enforce- ment of this unconstitutional law.” Attorneys for. the defence — John J. Abt and Joseph Forer— presented their arguments so cog- ently and persuasively that ob- servers and judges seemed deeply impressed. Benjamin Davis sat in the court room as an_ inter- ested cbserver. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers are now preparing their rebuttal. LABOR ROUNDUP: UFAWU, oil workers prepare for strikes Three separate deadlines have been set by members of the United Fishermen % Allied Work- ers Union and salmon fishermen from Vancouver to Prince Rupert are now engaged in voting on the question of strike action. The deadlines are 12 noon, aSt- urday, July 13 for salmon net fishermen, 12 midnight, Monday, July 15 for Tendermen and 11 ~a.m., Wednesday, July 17 for shoreworkers. The staggered schedule will en- : able fish caught by the salmon fishermen’ befere their strike deadline to be processed. ‘There will be no postponement of any strike deadline unless em- ployers make a pre-strike offer which the negotiating committee are prepared to recommend for acceptance,’”’ said Carl Liden, union spokesman, ‘‘and there will be no settlement for one group unless all three groups are sSet- tled.”” Salmon fishermen are demand- ing 36c a lb. for sockeye, 30c for cohoe, 15¢ for pinks and 16c for chums. The companies have of- fered 33c, 20c, nine cents and up to 14¢c respectively, and are also saying ‘‘No’’ to union de- mands for a cost sharing welfare program. “The companies have offered to cut the price of cohoe by four cents a pound—a cut of 16 2/3 percent — and pinks by 2% cents —a cut of 22 percent’’ (over last year’s prices), said Liden. ‘This is no way to solve the problems in this industry.” e ‘ Talks to avert a_ waterfront strike which would tie up B.C. and U.S. West Coast shipping are _still goin gon behind closed doors. Neither the International Long- shoremen & ~ Warehousemen’s Union nor the shipping federa- tions are prepared to make a statement as to Where matters stand, as the PT goes to press. Harry Bridges, ILWU interna- tional president, has stated that a strike in the industry would be a long and bitter one. e The Oil, Chemical’ and Atomic Workers have agreed to proceed immediately with final prepara- tions for a strike: against the oil industry. Meeting in Kamloops on- July 4, the union decded to finish taking votes in some units in Vancouver and Kamloops and to co-ordinate their action with locals in Ontario and Saskatche- wan. The union has agreed to accept a conciliation award of 15 cents an hour over two years, but the companies — Shell, B-A, Imper- ial, Standard, Texaco, Royalite, Home and Pacific Petroleum — have refused. e A charge that ‘Sefton and the other raiders are deliberately try- ing to kill militancy in their own ranks and at the same time under. cut the entire bargaining situation in the metal mining industry” was made by Ken Smith, national president of Mine Mill, following press disclosures of a settlement at the Sherritt Gordon Mining Co. at Lynn Lake, Man. between the company and the Steel union. Smith pointed out that the settle- ment failed tc provide a wage boost where the last one took place in 1961. But worse still, the contract settled for less than INCO (Sudbury) workers are get- ting now—and their agreement is up for renegotiation. In other words, Steel leaders have all but killed their bargain. ing position with the giant nickel- mecnopoly. “The workers and their families will pay the shot and all because of the bankruptcy and insane bar- gaining manoeuvres of the raid- ers. It’s a shameful piece of busi- ness,’’ Smith stated. “MANAGEMENT REGRETS THAT IT WILL ci UNABLE TO ME er WITH UNION TODAY” Roll back campaign B.C. consumers are protesting ina positive way to the problem of spiralling food prices—particu- larly - sugar. Many labor aivatiieabions have endorsed the petition of B.C.’s Consumers Committee on Prices, which calls for rolling back sugar prices before canning season to the level at which they were in Otcober, 1962. “Thousands of B.C. consumers have signed the petition,’ the commitee says in a prepared statement. The Campbell River Labor Council, among others, has fully endorsed the demands of the petition. -“Spiralling sugar prices mean more than just one lump of sugar less in your coffee,’’ the state- ment says. “It means reduced working hours and layoffs in all production where sugar is_ in- volved. As prices rise, sales drop —and the worker is always the one to get it in the neck first.’ The committee is appealing to the public to keep rolling up the signatures. Copies of the petition are available from: Mrs. J. Pow- er, 4825 Dumfries St., Vancouver. Phone TR 4.7832. Spaak visit on eve of talks On the eve of the July 15 test ban talks, Paul Henri ‘Spaak, former secretary-gen- eral of NATO, flew to Mos- cow to hold a series of talks with Soviet Premier Khrush- chev.
