No money for streets,
but taxes still go up

HANS KROEGER, Esquimalt:
At a recent council meeting in
Squimalt, the reeve, in answer
° a remark by a councillor anent
the deplorable conditions of side-
Walks and streets in this muni-
‘Cipality, reproved him for bring-
ing such matters up on the plea
that it would encourage others
to do the same. Later he remark-
oa that he was sick and tired of
Kitks, kicks and more kicks.”

There is nothing new or extra-
dinary in this, except that
While this was coupled with the
Tecurrent cry, “We have no mon-

Crease of real property brought
Into the assessment roll and con-
_ Sequent increase in taxes levied,
Plus an increase in the mill rate;
yet certain necessary improve-

ments, such as school grounds

neglected.

It would appear that the great-

the more revenue accruing, the
less money is available: an an-

At City College the elimination
of teachers is following a strong
racist line, with special empha-
sis on trade union members and
progressives,

The administration points hy-
pocritically to a certain number
of Jewish employees the
school and claims there is no
racism there, but Jewish teachers
are readily dropped unless they
are rabidly anti-union and par-

in

ticularly helpful in whitewashing
the administration’s racist prac-
tices; which last spring gave rise
to a nine-day student strike.

Discrimination against Negroes
is still worse. There were only
five Negroes among over .1,000
teachers, and one of these is
being dropped. Those who aré
retained are expected to endorse
and become accomplices in the
reprisals of the administration,
against students and _ fellow-
teachers who dare to protest rac-
ism and thought control.

The administration at ‘City Col-
lege goes to considerable lengths
to pretend that students are
dropped only for unsatisfactory
school work and ‘that teachers
are “not re-appointed” only for
professional reasons.

But such pretexts, either at

City College of New York or at’

Canadian universities, cannot
hide the abvious facts. A coat
of whitewash won’t long hide
festering corruption. The auth-
orities are working to convert

our educational institutions into ~

hatcheries for strike breakers. In
order to do this, they must first
eliminate every student and
teacher who insists on. being

truly scientific and honest.

PEACE CONGRESS OPENS.

U.S. policies threatening
peace of the Americas

DELEGATES FROM countries both north and south of the
United States tore apart the camouflage of the “good neighbor’’ policy
and exposed American imperialism as the greatest threat to the peace
of the Americas and the world in the opening sessions of the continental
peace conference at Mexico City this week.

Dr. James G. Endicott, leader
of the Canadian delegation, who

“was among those denied U.S.

visas to travel across the United
States to Mexico, charged:
“There is no good neighbor pol-
icy for those who oppose the Na-
tional Association of Manufac-
turers.”

The Canadian-American border,
he declared, “is beginning to
*swarm with secret police and
political stool pigeons.”

U.S. policy in “deliberately fos-
tering a war psychology” was

leading to an increasing loss of |

civil Jiberties in nations within
the !U.S. sphere of domination,
Endicott warned.

Canadian sponsors of the Con-
tinental Peace Congress include:
Rev. I. G. Perkins; Rev. D. Mc-
Keen Reid; Rev. John Wagiand;
Rev. W. G. Zwicker; Rev. Alex
Caméiron;

Dr. James G. Endicott; W. G.

ards, MLA; Steven Sawula; Dr.

Among Canadian organizations
represented by delegates at the
congress are the Canadian Peace
Congress, Canadian Slav Com-
mittee, Congress of Canadian
Women, and the United Jewish
People’s Order.
