| FARM NOTES U.S. Farm Produce Dumped into B.C. Is U.S. farm produce being dumped into B.C.? Are B.C. farmers being denied even the right to sell in the home mar- Ket? The following Ricco issued by the Canadian Horticultral Council (source — Dominion Bureau of Statistics) seem to give the answer: These are some of the imports into B.C. for 1960, most of them (if not all) from the U.S. Apples (resh) 9,563,836 Ibs. Peaches, fresh 2,263,512 Ibs. Strawberries, fresh 6,399,606. Ybs. Strawberries, frozen 1, 069,986 lbs. Cabbage, fresh 7,- 217, 599 Ibs.; Carrots, fresh 10,757,894 Ibs. Celery, fresh 9,990,125 lbs.

As is well known, U.S. in- terests haye bought up B.C. canneries, closed them down, and now send canned fruits and vegetables into B.C. from their American canneries. Look at these figures of the imports of canned goods into B.C. in 1960: Apricots, canned 367,316 Ibs. Peaches, canned 4,297,834 Ibs. Tomatoes, canned 6,279,301 Ibs. Tomato paste canned 1,- 104, 214 Ibs. Tomato juice 10,- 684, 956 Ibs. This is called “economic in- tegration”. U.S. corporations come in and Canadian farmers get out!

My Jand, Cuba is a small country in comparison with Canada. We have only 61% million peo- ple and before the revolution in 1958 a million people were out of work. If we compare this figure with Canada it would be like having three million Canadian unemployed. “But in Cuba today not only is there no unemployment, but also a new life for the peasant and workers has been built. Especially is this true for the peasant who was the most ex- ploited of all before the revo- lution. “Fidel and the Revolution- ary Government has already given 31,425 titles of property to the campesino and peas- ants. There are 2,000 ‘‘Tiendas del Pueblo”—stores of the peo- ple—where the peasants can get anything they need from food to appliances.

Les McDonald, who took part in the action to block the eviction, writes the following account for the Pacific Tribune. * Tuesday after Thanksgiving was one of those sombre, grey, Vancouver mornings with drizzle in the air. A return to work for some, after the long weekend. A weekend perhaps of merry-making, and turkey and all the trimmings.
