HALT THE YANKEE AGRESSORS!

HE long-delayed CBC-TV pro-

gram “Cuba Si” is scheduled

to be featured on a coast-to-coast
showing September 24.

Made a year ago the “Cuba Si”
and its commentary, written by
Vancouver’s Doug Collins was
pigeon-holed by CBC’s top brass
on the flimsy excuse that it was
“unduly sympathetic to the Castro
regime”. This high-handed censor-
ship by CBC as to what Canadians
should or should not see doubt-
lessly stemed from Washington’s
“disapproval” and echoed by its
coldwar lickspittles in Ottawa.

Now all has been “fixed” up.
“Cuba Si’ ’will be shown, not with
the Collins commentary, but with
a panel] of brainwashed “experts”,

most of them from the U-S. cold-—

war press machine, assigned the
job for which they are eminently
fitted; to “make the best appear
the worst” and engender hatred
against the people and government
‘of Cuba.

This Goebbels war propaganda
technique ties in with current U.S.
hysteria and war provocations
ag&inst Cuba, in its encourage-
ment, financing and equipping of
Cuban_ counter - revolutionaries,
resident in Florida and elsewhere,
in their repeated hostile attacks
upon Cuba. In addition we now
have the U.S. demanding of all
NATO allies (including Canada),
for a tight embargo and boycott of
all trade, shipping or other friend-
ly relations with Cuba.

Reports already indicate U.S.
snooping on the cargoes of foreign
shipping destined for Cuba, while
U.S. coldwar agents in the ranks

Even piracy on the high seas by

Under cover of the lying excuse

all-out war upon Cuba, and im-

the nazi butcher Adolph Eichmann
was hanged. His crime, genocide;
the planned nazi extermination of
six million Jewish people. Almost.
too monstrous to comprehend, but
the world of decent humanity ap-
proved of the Israeli verdict.

Just about the time the genocide
Eichmann was dangling on the end
of a well-deserved rope, the sover-
eign state of Virginia, U.S.A. en-
acted a law, (quite “voluntary” of
course), legalizing the steriliza-
tion of “indigent” citizens.

Under this openly. fascist law,

$29.1 million profit on liquor sales,
$14, million more than finance
minister W-A.C. had hoped for, and
a good $1 million up from the pre-

At our guess, that record profit
would be approximately $20 mil-
lion net on pure water ,with liquor
making up the balance. At that,
‘statistic-wise, it means that every
man. woman and child in the pro-
vince lapped up some $65 worth of

O's of America’s most out-
standing and devoted “pay-
triots”, John McCone, just recent-

ly appointed by President Ken-
nedy to headup the notorious Cen-

tral Intelligence Agency (CIA),
made a “modest” investment dur-
ing World War II.

The country needed ships to
“carry the tools of victory” so Mc-
Cone put a $100,000 investment in
the Liberty ship syndicate and
long before the war ended Mc-

’ Cone’s hundred-grand had swelled
into a $44 million return. Who says
war (like crime) doesn’t pay?

There is no scarcity of these
“pay-triots” in our. own backyard,
as may be seen in the projected
re-opening probe into the sale of
shares in the Northern Ontario
Natural Gas Company, because of
new evidence dug up by the B.C.
Securities Commission.

We note for instance, that Ralph,
K. Farris, a scion of one of our
most distinguished families, got
himself a block of NONGC shares
for the modest sum of $300, part
of which when sold, netted him
$318,000 in cold cash. The other
part, some 15,000 shares still held
by Mr. Farris, have a_ present

“market” value of $240,000. Total
boodle on an original $300 “in-
vestment”’, $558,000. Not bad at
all.

With a dull pencil and any old
Scrap of paper Junior can figure

“bought” at 8-cents per or less and
sold at $12 or more, all adds up to
giving the natural gas consumer in,
Ontario, B.C. or elsewhere, a pro-
per gassing. The initial probe into
this gas monopoly showed “about.
40 persons made profits totalling
$15-million” or thereabouts.

Following the first probe of this
gas octopus Mr. Farris and a U.S.
tycoon were “fined” $500-for ‘‘fail-
ing to file a company prospectus’,
but Magistrate Thomas Elmore of
Toronto who presided, ruled that
‘no moral wrong had been done”
since others who had bought Nor-
thern Ontario Natural Gas shares
“had also made a good profit on
their investment.”

The “moral” is (but don’t get
the morals mixed), that “no moral
wrong” is done by fleecing the
gas consumer. Just load it on for
“all the traffic will bear’ and if
any probers turn on too much
heat, just cool it off with a trifling
“fine”, like say, $500 for stealing
a million?

The value of such “probes” is
not to reveal to the people that

_ they have been robbed. That they

know only too well. Its value lies
in the fact that the robbery (and
the robbers) have been judicially
recognized and confirmed.
The rest is up to the people?
