$35,000 EEKS TO GO $12,000 $12,000 — and only three weeks left in which to raise it. That’s the picture as we enter the homestretch of our drive with a little over $28,000 turned in to date. It’s still not nearly enough, and we have to rely upon you — our readers and supporters — to make that final push that will not only get us to the $40,000 target figure but put us substantially over the top. With just three weeks left, we can’t afford to sit back and take it easy, but rather every press club must redouble its efforts to ensure that June 19 will be an evening of true victory. $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 JUNE 19 Keep this date open for PACIFIC TRIBUNE VICTORY BANQUET Renfrew Community Centre NO MORE HIROSHIMAS The armaments industry is one of the major inflation-causing industries. Since 1945, Canadian government spending in the arms race and in war have cost ap- proximately $75 billion. All this money has come from the tax-. payer, and is enough to have built three million homes. at a cost of $25,000 each. Instead this money was (and still is) taken out of such socially useful fields as housing, education and health care and put into ‘‘defence”’ spending that provides nothing socially useful, but only adds to the profits of large corporations such as Lockheed, General Electric, Krupp, Lyton Industries and Imperial Oil. While providing no product or service that is useful to Canadian people, spending in the defence industry means fewer jobs for Canadians. One-billion dollars spent by our government in the area of social services (hospital, schools, ete.) produces 100,000 jobs. But the same amount spent on ‘‘defence’”’ creates only 50,000 jobs. But consistently, year after year, the federal government increases the portion of its budget spent in the defence field. Today, with cutbacks in social services, with wage controls cutting back on the standard of living of Canadian workers, all in the name of ‘restraints,’ more and more money is poured into the one area where government spending is most harmful to the economy. Ata time when there is a greater chance for world peace than ever before in history, our government, on orders from NATO and NORAD, increases the arms build-up in the name of defending Canada’s sovereignty. Our Armed Services are under the command of a foreign power through NATO and NORAD.

E What Canadians need is not to pay $300-million to Lockheed, but to have that money funnelled into social programs that will provide jobs and services. Canadians should tell the federal government to use our money for creating jobs and security through peaceful production and putting the money wasted on armaments into human needs.
