The message points out that the June 18 election solved none of the people’s problems. “A few days before the vote John Dienfenbaker said he would end unemployment by August. “No sooner was the elec- tion over than Diefenbaker took Canada to the American pawnshop and slapped an- other $1 billion American mortgage on it. “He said Canadians must tighten their belts. He open- ed the way to lower living standards, lower wages and increased unemployment. “Diefenbaker deceived the people. He and the Tory party are utterly discredited.” The statement points out that both Tories and Liberals are parties of the sell-out of Canada to the USA, and that there is no need for Ameri- can-imposed “austerity”, if we put the Canadian economy to work for Canadians. “The danger of thermonu- clear war and impending economic disaster . . . require new national policies. “The time has come for a great forward advance by the New Democratic Party, the trade unions, the farmers and business people. “Canadian economic policy will never be’ independent until Canadians become mas- ters in their own house. “Democratic intervention by the people in the affairs of our country, to gain great- er control of public affairs, to compel action by Parlia- ‘ment and to end once and for all the parliamentary mono- poly of the two old-line par- ties—this is the need of the hour,” says the statement. 10 POINT PLAN “The Communist Party of- fers this 10-Point Program of Jobs and Lower Prices to meet the immediate crisis and long-term interests of Can- ada. Communists will take the Program to the people, and fight for it. “1. Stop the rise in prices of the necessities of life, by instituting laws prohibiting any further increases being imposed by the profiteering monopolies who control pro- duction and the market. “9. Establish export-import controls to reduce our de- pendence on the U.S.A. for manufactures, stimulate Can- adian manufacturing and pro- vide jobs for Canadians by processing more of our raw materials at home. “3, Ban the export or with- drawal of capital, Canadian or foreign. Mobilize Canadian capital for investment in na- tion-building projects, under the control of a public invest- ment board. “4. Send trade missions to “all countries, to conclude in- dependent, mutually benefi- cial agreements. “5. Support a World Econ- omic Conference to end the coldwar in world trade and replace reactionary trade blocs such as the European Common Market. “§. Impose higher taxes on the monopolies, tax capital gains and reduce income taxes on working people. “7 Resume the public works program which Diefen- baker intends to cancel. Re- ject the U.S.- Canada draft treaty on the Columbia River power project and develop Columbia power as part of a national power grid. “8. Reduce the _ military budget by 50% and go all out on the world arena for: disarmament. “9. Introduce a 30-hour, 5- day working week, with pay increases to maintain and in- crease present wage scales, and a job training program for young people. “10. Adopt a national Med- icare Plan—sponsored by Ot- tawa with the agreement of the provinces, to protect the people’s health and to defeat the reactionary attack, exem- plified in. Saskatchewan. * * a “These steps are fully with- in the power of Parliament. “Canadians who voted against the two old-line par- ties . . . can compel Parlia- ment to act. “The unity of labor and the farmers, of all patriotic and democratic French and Eng- lish-speaking Canadians, can bring out of the parliamen- tary stalemate and minority government a new and pro- gressive force to change the drift to crisis and war . “We appeal particularly to members and supporters of the New Democratic Party to take up these matters and act on them; to all trade un- ions to unite and swing into action against the Diefen- baker ‘‘Austerity’” program; to the farmers to join with labor against the attack on living standards. “Send deputations to M.P.’s and to Parliament to make the voice of the people heard,” concludes the state-, - ment. This appeal to Canadians, of which excerpts appear above, will be distributed in 500,000 copies across Canada. Expect Record Grain Harvest This year’s grain harvest in the Soviet Union is expected to be the largest in history. A harvest of 160 million tons is foreseen. Largest previous harvest of 141 million tons was in 1958. ween NO PIPEDREAM — This oil pipeline is called the ‘Friendship Pipeline”. It went into operation recently when the first one million tons of Soviet oil moved through to Czechoslovakia. It will be nearly 3,000 miles long and will pipe oil to Hungary. Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Contrary to what Canadians are used to seeing—their oil pumped into the U.S. for industrial pur- Soviet pipeline poses — in this case Soviet oil will help the industrialization of Eastern ‘Europe. It is dramatic evidence of the kind of eco- nomic co-operation existing between Soc- ialist countries.’ Photo at right shows the Pipeline crossing Soviet land.
