The production of wealth is

the hands of labor in its ability to

I already detect a false note

suggested we owe Premier
Bennett a vote of thanks for his
twenty years administration.
For what?

Let us hope the statement of

Mr. Barrett was only brought
about by his joy and enthusiasm

over the election of his party and |

that it does not go deeper than
that.

At any rate the NDP will have
to be guided and it should put its
ear to the ground at all times;
something which was lacking in
the Socreds which finally
through arrogance and lack of
vision ensured its complete
defeat.

Oregon, writes: I have been
reading your paper for quitea
few years. As an older citizen of
these states, ve been thinking a
bit. And the more I think, the
more I realize how far ahead of
us you Canadian brothers are!

Back in the days of slavery a
slave could escape from the
south, but the north would return
him to slavery! Only if he
managed to get to Canada would
he really be free.

Today our youth try to escape
this war in Vietnam and must
also go to Canada. You folks are
away ahead of us politically. I
trust you will stay this way. I
admire you for this reason.

Today, in 1972, this U.S. isa
base for real fascism! Iam an
old man now, but I can well see
the trend. Our citizens have been
brainwashed better than Hitler
could have ever done. Why? I
don’t know the answer to that
question, but the Vietnam war
could just as well be on Mars as
my brothers consider it. Why! I

don’t know the answer. Do you?

GET OUT OF NATO

R. Hamilton, Vacouver, writes:
Canada’s continued role in
NATO AND NORAD is danger-
ous. The sooner we get out the
better. As bad would be a U.S.-
dominated Common ‘‘Thieves’’ ,
Market as advocated by the
former premier of B.C., WAC

Bennett.

These schemes are dominated
by U.S. imperialism which has
given us nohing but crisis and
war for generation after genera-
tion. And in this so-called
enlightened generation Canada
is making millions from arms
and assorted military equipment
that is used by the Yankees in’
Vietnam. Now England is
training troops in Suffield,
Alberta, to be used to kill Irish,
and perhaps Welsh. . .

One year after setting up
concentration camps in North
Ireland, the English decided
more troops would be needed to
try to beat the Irish into submis-
sion. England had to get permis-
sion from — note! — US.
General Goodpaster, NATO
commander — who announced
approval only after receiving
ae blessings of Tricky Dick

Nixon.

These right-wing gov-
ernments of Almighty Dollar in
London, Dublin and the USA, and
no doubt with the tender blessing
of Ottawa — are behind these

moves.

Brothers and Sisters, let us
continue forward as we did in the
election. For too long we have
suffered at the hands of the
Liberals, Socreds, Con-
servatives — mouthpieces of the
Almighty Dollar. We need new,
dynamic, principled policies to
gain peace, security, dignity and
freedom around the world. Up
the rebels!

Vancouver girl takes part
in unique Cuban project

The George Dimitroff Sec-
ondary School in Cuba is
probably unique in the world. It
was built by young people — 85 of
them from 27 nations, and it was
conceived and built within one
year.

Taking part in this exciting
project was Donalda Greenwell
of Vancouver, a member of the
Young Communist League who
left here last winter to work with
others in the World Federation
of Democratic Youth which was
the sponsoring organization.

Donalda says the main purpose
of the project, was to stress the
internationalism of youth and to
help Cuba in the struggle to build
a better life for her people.

The school is situated in the
midst of the citrus fruit area
some twenty miles from
Havana. Today it stretches
among the orchards — four
buildings of three stories each.
with cafeteria, track and field
areas, space for baseball and
volleyball, and a theatre, hospi-
tal facilities, and dormatories
for 500 girls and boys.

Here Cuban students will
combine work and study. They
will spend the week at the school
working part time in the
orchards, and will spend their
weekends at their homes in
Havana and other parts of Cuba.
There are 11 of these schools in
the area.

In charge of the construction
was the Cuban organization for
construction, DECA, and used
in the buildings was cement
prefabricated blocks, (made in
Cuba) and electronic and
plumbing. materials from
England, Japan, and the socialist
nations.

Donalda says Cubans are most
happy people with which to
work. They work hard, know
their responsibilities, but when
the work day is over are able to
completely relax with music.
dancing and song. During a
cyclone which struck the island.
she recalls, they danced and
sang and ignored the raging
storm, then cheerfully went

about cleaning up the debris left
by the winds.

At first it was hard to com-
municate, she says, but it wasn’t
long before everyone spoke a
sort of pidgin Spanish and this
sufficed to keep the lines open.
Everyone stayed ina camp fitted
out with movie house, activity
areas and sports fields. There
Was no shortage of food, and
alwavs the Sundays when busses
took them to Havana to sight-
see. loll on the beautiful
beaches. or visit with Cuban
families.

Part of this international
brigade spent their time building
some 28 houses in the area where

_ there was need of homes for the

workers in the citrus fields. She
Said a highlight of the stay was a
visit from Fidel Castro who
came to thank them for their
contribution.

Donalda savs they finished the
project some 25 davs ahead of
schedule because not long after
their arrival the young people
decided to work a five and a half
day week. Their enthusiasm and
the enjoyment they had in the
building of a school for their
Cuban brothers and sisters is
something she will always
treasure. Donalda says.

Certainly in the building of
this project there is a message
for those who say young people
don't want to work. Donalda
Greénwell is only one among
many who say they would gladly
undertake such projects in any
country which. like Cuba. has
been the victim of U.S. imperial-
ism and is pulling its way up
through the strength of its own
people and its friends around the
world.
