FARM
NOTES

Here are some key excerpts
the Draft Resolution
for the coming convention of

‘the Communist Party of Can-
-ada:

“The position of the agricul-

‘ture in the Canadian economy
“is steadily declining. Its share

of the national income is fall-

“ing. The number of farmers in

the population is dropping ab-

‘solutezy, not only in relation
“to the size of the population.

“The capitalists

openly boast

that the day of the small farm-
er is gone; monopoly capitalism

thas forced him off the land in
many cases or onto marginal

“farms; and where if he stays on

the land it is virtually asa
hired man for the big monopo-
lies. The monopolists have the
aim of eliminating entirely ag-
ricultural production by a fam-
ily working on the land and
its replacement by the big cor-
poration farm where all work

“is performed by wage-labor.

“Like all other sections of
the economy, agriculture is
deeply affected by U.S. domin-
ation, by the high prices charg-
ed for machinery and other
industrial products which are
made by predominantly U.S.

“corporations, by the dumping

of U.S.:farm products, an on-
slaught on our wheat markets
and the gobbling up and clos-

‘Ing down of Canadian process-

ing plants by U/S. interests.
“Canada’s food production
must be placed at the disposal
of mankind. Eighteen hundred
million people in the world live
on the edge of outright starva-
tion. There is a vast area to
which Canada’s farm goods
could be exported immediately
in volumes that would still fur-
ther expand farm production.
“State credits to help farm-
ers stay in production, includ-
ing those who want to farm
cooperatively; export credits

‘to enable other countries to,

buy Canada’s food (as has be-

‘gun in the case of China and
~Poland, but which needs to be

vastly extended): a floor under

“prices to the grower: control

-the

-~ern techniques,

rod

of the prices of machinery,
tilizers, etce., by state action;
nationalization of the
packing and processing mon-
opolies; the application of mod-
at state ex-
pense—these and other steps
would increase Canada’s food
output, save the family farm
and give protection to the far-
mers.”

Caron iells annive

rsary meeting:

‘Capitalist en

a Communist society.

“The sweep of Socialism is
irresistable,’ said Charles Ca-
ron, provincial organizer of
the B.C. Communist Party, in
a lecture on the occasion of
the 44th anniversary celebra-
tion of the October Revolution
at the Fishermen’s Hall last
Sunday.

Caron traced the history of
the Russian Resolution; the
unsuccessful 1905 Revolution;
the building of the Communist
Party under the leadership of
Lenin; the successful October
Revolution and the leading
role of the Soviet people in de-
fense of the
working class since that time.

“The leading role of the
Soviet people in the interna-
tional working class movement
was and remains indisputable
to date, in the period of Com-
munist construction,’ Caron
said. .

He recalled the epic strug-
gles of the Soviet people: the
intervention following the rev-

CHARLES CARON

olution; reconstruction period;
the first Five-Year Plan:for in-
dustrialization; the role of the
Soviet Union in fighting for
peace through the League of
Nations; its heroic sacrifices
and great contribution in the
war against fascism: the recon-
struction following the Second
World War and the Seven-year
Plan which laid the basis for
the present program of the
CPSU for the construction of
a Communist society.

Caron outlined the measures
contemplated in the new pro-
gram of the Soviet Union, and
cited figures to show that the
material base had been created
for the building of a Commu-
nist society, and that the pro-
cess of changing the social re-
lations between the peovle
had already begun to take
place. :

Throughout his each he
placed much emphasis on the
peace policies of the Sov‘et
Union. It was recalled that
Germany had _ initiated two
world wars at the cost of one
hundred million lives.

Now with the shift. in
strength, US. imperialism has
become the main enemy of,
peace and social progress and
is actively trying to. provoke. a

nuclear war around the Ger-

international |.

d heralded

by Socialist Revolution’

“The October Russian Revolution heralded the end of
the capitalist system, and gave fruit to hundreds of years
of struggles of the working people by the construction of

man problem, in order to try
to reverse the course of social
development.

e :

Caron pointed out that while
the Soviet Union has put forth
proposals for peace and com-
plete disarmament, workers in
the main capitalist countries
have been unable to compel
their governments to pursue
peaceful policies.

It is this hard fact which
compelled the Soviet govern-
ment to resume nuclear test-
ing, after having unilaterally
stopped testing as an example
to the world.

In this light, he continued,
it is not only moral but neces-
sary that the Soviet people,
who lost 17 million dead in
the last war, make prepara-
tions to defend themselves and
block the nuclear holocaust
the imperialists plot against
humanity.

The Soviet government
stands ready and willing to en-
ter into serious negotiations
for ending all tests along with
proposals for complete and
general disarmament with
whatever inspection is neces-
sary to enforce it.

Imperialism is menaced by
socialism, not through war,
but by the peaceful competi-
tion in which socialism must
emerge triumphant.

In conclusion, Caron re-
ferred to the world system of}
socialist states, with Cuba as
its bridgehead in this hemi-

sphere, and the forty new
states which have recently
gained their independence

from imperialist domination.
“In this period of transition
from capitalism to socialism
all roads lead to Communism.
That is the heritage of the Rus-
sian Revolution,” he .conclud-
