TWO VETERANS
IN HOSPITAL

Two veterans of the Com-
munist movement and long-
time supporters of the Pacific
Tribune are on the sick list.

John Tanche of White Rock,
who is a frequent contributor
to the PT where his letters often
appear, is in Vancouver Gen-
eral Hospital, Heather Pavilion,
where he is undergoing a series
of tests.

Jim Beynon Sr., who was re-
leased from Lions Gate Hospital
some weeks ago, returned last
week after suffering arelapse.
He is undergoing some tests this
week to determine the exact
source of his problem.

The PT staff extends its greet-
ings to both, and wishes thema
speedy and full recovery.

victory fete

Early sales indicate that the
June 9 Victory Banquet willbe
filled to capacity.

The Victory Banquet has be-
come a tradition for supporters
of the PT, whereat the comple-
tion of each years drive those
stalwarts of the press whose
efforts are the backbone of each
successful drive are honored.

Each year as the targets of
our drives have increased, and
along with it the number of honor
press builders, the banquet has
developed into a major event for
the PT.

A full program is arranged
starting off with the 10 course,
home cooked meal, followed by
presentations to the honor press
builders and an address from
PT editor Maurice Rush. Popu-
lar singer Tom Hawkens will
provide entertainment, heading
up a musical program and
dance that will appeal to both
young and old.

It promises to be an enjoyable
evening. Come and pay tribute
to the heroes behind the scenes—
the press builders—and have the
time of your life.

Gas sellout to U.S.
should be blocked

Cont'd from pg. 1

structure and urged the develop-
ment of natural gas pipelines
under public control for the
development of B.C. industry.

At the time of calling for
further resource taxation, the
Communist Party emphasized
the need for a halt to further
exports of natural gas to the
United States until a study of
domestic needs is carried out
based on a planned full develop-
ment of secondary industry in
the province. The resolution,
which was adopted unanimously
by the delegates at the 20th con-
vention, called for the takeover
of Westcoast Transmission as a
necessary part of repatriating
B.C.’s resources.

One of the major points at the
hearing will be the recent agree-
ment between Westcoast Trans-
mission and El Paso signed
March 1 of this year. Under
present agreements, Westcoast
supplies 809 million cubic feet of
gas per day to the U.S. and the
new agreement, if itis approved
by the National Energy Board
will increase the export by 450
million cubic feet per day.

The provincial government
has indicated opposition to the
export and Barrett said that
while he was not opposed to
exports in principle provided
the gas was surplus to B.C.’s
needs and was supplied “‘con-

tingent upon previous contracts
being re-opened.”

Under the Social Credit govern-
ment, vast exports to the U.S.
were carried out at prices that
never exceeded 35 cents per
thousand cubic feet. At the
same time consumers paid an
average of $1.20 per thousand
cubic feet for their gas.

In speaking on the question of
natural gas exports, Premier
Barrett stated that he ‘rejected
completely that there was any
argument for a continental
resource policy.’’ But as long as
Westcoast Transmission con-
tinues to be dominated by
private, U.S. capital, gas will
continue to be exported despite
the opposition of the people of
B.C. It will be incumbent on
people making submissions to
the Energy Commission hear-
ings, and particularly on the
trade union movement to call
for the takeover of Westcoast
and a halt to further gas exports.
