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. Lettuce, fresh
18,167,097 lbs. Onions, fresh
13,158,541 Ibs. Potatoes, fresh
38,707,200 lbs. Tomatoes, fresh
19,138,219 Ibs.

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!

‘Thre are no bosses here,

workers run new Cuba’

Trinidad Iglesis, who addressed a Vancouver May Day
Rally this year, is back in her Cuban homeland and wrote

a letter to some friends she
print excerpts from her letter

“Today in Cuba there are no
more bosses. fhe workers are
the ones who are collectively
directing the country. 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. One hun-
dred buildings for social clubs
each one with a library, TV,
ete.

“This year the government
has spent 80 million pesos in
agricultural machinery. In ev-
ery State Farm and Co-opera-
tive they have medical care, a

“In East Havana a huge pro-
ject is under way. Hundreds of
buildings have been construct-
ed on the shores of the seas,
and thousands of apartments
are already enjoyed by the
workers. For every four build-
ings a nursery is erected.

“It is with formidable effort
of the workers, peasants and
the people from all ranges of
life, that we are building the
‘New. Cuba; Free Land of
America’. ?

Jobless pickets stop evictio

The British Columbia Feder-
ation of unemployed won its
first eviction case a week last
Tuesday when it prevented the
eviction of an unemployed
father, his wife and child from
an East Vancouver home.

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.

But for an unemployed car-
penter Andy Schwab and fam-
ily, of 1663 Adanac St., Tues-
day was not just another rain-
soaked Vancouver
On this morning the Schwab
family were awaiting the ar-
rival of the bailiff, coming to

payment for thre months rent
arrears.

Andy, having been employ-
ed some 11 months in the last
hthree years, also faced evic-
tion by his landlord at the end
of the month. Mrs. Schwab, in
ill-health herself due to a heart
complaint, expressed concern
over the health of their only
child, a three year old boy.

But on this Tuesday morn-

as early as 7:30 a.m. fellow
carpenters, plumbers, long-
shoremen, seamen and others,
members of the B.C. Federa-
tion of Unemployed, began to
assemble outside the door of
the Schwab home.

The bailiff failed to make
his scheduled appearance, and

ing they were not alone, for}
