paper: from 1936 to 1939,
when the Daily Clarion came
out, and for six months in
1947 when we had the Daily
Tribune.

The first time we were
timely and the daily paper
lived, to be stopped only by
world war.

The second time we made
a serious mistake; we miscal-
culated the political scene;
1947 was the year of the on-
set in earnest of the cold war
which had been signalled by
the 1945 atomic bombs, and
it was not the right time to
start the Daily Tribune. It
was a sore loss.

There will be a third time.
When will that be? We can-
not say. But of one thing we
can be sure! It will come, and
this time for good!

Our paper has a fine fut-
ure. One day it will be the
great metropolitan daily
paper of the workers of Can-
ada, with its own radio and
television stations too. There
is no doubt about it: the 40
years up to now have been
years of preparation.

SEE ‘TURN FOR THE BETTER’
CHINA STRESS AGRICULTURE

By BERT WHYTE

PT Correspondent
PEKING — After three dif-
ficult years, China’s economic
situation has begun to take a
turn for the better, Premier
Chou En-lai said in his report
to the Second National Peo-
ple’s Congress of the People’s
Republic of China, which held
its third session in Peking
recently. re
Chou call-
ed for unity
of the people
around the

: “pe r sistent
i t and untiring
efforts to overcome all the
difficulties on the road ahead,
to fulfill the tasks of adjust-
ing the national economy and
eliminating once and for all
the conditions of economic
poverty and backwardness, so
as to turn China into an ad-
vanced, prosperous and social-
ist country.”

He proposed and the depu-
ties adopted 10 “adjustment”
tasks for this year.

(1) To strive to increase
agricultural production, first
of all the production of grain,
cotton and oil-bearimg crops.

(2) To make a rational ar-
rangement of the production
of light and heavy industry
and increase the output of
daily necessities as much as
possible.

(3) To continue to retrench
the front of capital construc-
‘tion and use material, equip-
ment and manpower where

_they are most urgently

needed.

(4) To reduce the urban
population and the number of
workers and functionaries to
an appropriate extent by per-
suading, first of all, those who
had come from rural areas to
return to rural productive
work and strengthen the agri-

cultural front.

(5) To make stock inventor-
ies and examine and fix the
amount of funds for each en-
terprise so that the unused
material and funds would’ be
used where they were most
needed during the present
adjustment.

(6) To ensure that the pur-
chase and supply of commo-
dities is well done and market
supply conditions improved.

(7) To work energetically to
fulfill foreign trade tasks.

(8) To adjust cultural, edu-
cational, scientific research
and public health undertak-
ings and improve the quality
of their work.

(9) To carry out firmly and
thoroughly the policy of
building the country with dili-
gence and thrift, to reduce ex-
penditures and increase
revenue.

(10) To continue to improve
the work of planning to en-
sure an all-round balance be-
tween the branches of the
national economy in the order

SEEK PEACEFUL
SETTLEMENT OF
BORDER DISPUTE

China will continue to press
for a peaceful settlement of
the Sino-Indian boundary
question, the foreign ministry
emphasized this week.

All Peking papers are cur-
rently featuring the publica-
tion by the foreign ministry
of documents relating to the
border dispute and efforts on
the part of China to negotiate
a new agreement on trade
and intercourse with India.

All documents have been
distributed to deputies attend-
ing the third session of the
second National People’s Con-
gress.

“The Chinese government
has always worked for a
peaceful settlement of the
Sino-India boundary question
left over by history on the
basis of the five principles”

of agriculture, light industry
and heavy industry.
DEVELOP DEMOCRACY

Democracy must be devel-
oped still further in ‘the poli-
tical life of the state, Premier
Chou En-lai stressed.

He said efforts should be
made to create a situation in
which there was both central-
ism and democracy, both dis-
cipline and freedom, and both
unity of will and personal
ease of mind.

Dealing with the interna-
tional situation, he pointed to
the growing strength of the
socialist system and the up-
surge of the national libera-
tion movement as two great
tides of historical significance
since the Second World War.
The world capitalist system
was in the process of further
decline and dissolution. The
revolutionary cause of the
world’s people would surely
triumph.

ON PEACE POLICY

China has consistently pur-
sued a foreign policy of peace,
said Chou. China has always
advocated the settlement of
international disputes through
negotiations, firmly stood for
the banning of nuclear wea-
pons and supported the strug-
gle waged by the peace-loving
countries and peoples of the
world against the afms ex-
pansion and war preparations
by imperialism and for the
realization of disarmament.

The deputies unanimously
aproved the general line and
the concrete policies carried
out by the government in for-
eign relations.

Regarding the national eco-
nomy and political life of the
state, they expressed full
confidence that difficulties
would be overcome and new
victories won.

A delegation of the Nation-
al People’s Congress will pay
a friendly visit to the Demc-
cratic People’s Republic of
Korea in the latter part of
April.

People were the losers
in Jamaican elections

weOR the imperialists with
r large holdings in Jamaica,
and the wealthiest of the local
capitalists, the choice between
the two major parties in the
island’s April-11 elections was
a “heads I win, tails you lose”
proposition.

The masses of the people
stood to lose whichever of the
two parties won.

This estimation was con:
tained in a statement by the
People’s Freedom Movement
of Jamaica, published in the
“Freedom Newsletter” on the
eve of the elections.

The two main parties are
the Jamaia Labor Party, head-
ed by Sir Alexander Busta-
mente, and the People’s Na-
tional Party, led by Norman
Manley.

In the elections Busta-
mente’s JLP won 26 of the
45 seats in the House of Rep-

resentatives, while Manley’s

PNP won the remaining 19.

At dissolution the PNP held:
27 seats, Labor 15 and inde-
pendents three. ;
Bustamente’s first. an-
ent after his election.

nouncem
was that he would

victory

seek a defenSe treaty with the
United States to ‘‘protect us
against foreign invasion.”

This was seen as a calum-
nious and completely unwar-
ranted attack on Cuba, less
than 100 miles away.

The PFM statement delar-
ed that there “is no longer
any appreciable difference be-
tween the two major political
parties,’’ and called on voters
“to cast their votes against
both the major parties and
pile up as impressive a total
vote as possible against the
alternating two-cousin rule.”

It added that the ‘most im-
portant task confronting the
progressive forces at this time
is to help break down this
widespread belief that there
are only two alternatives —
one cousin or the other.”

(The “cousin” reference is
to the family relationship be-
tween Bustamnte and Man-
ley.)

Both Bustamente and Man-
ley, declared ‘the statement,
see eye to eye on Jamaican
independence. Both have vied
to outdo one another in offer-
ing encouragement to the dir-

ect investment of foreign
capital in Jamaica through
tax “holidays” and other in-
centives.

The PFM, asserted the
statement, is the only party
in Jamaica that stands for
socialism and for the use of
foreign loans to create a pub-
licly-owned sector of the eco-
nomy.

However, since it is not yet

government, the PFM urged
voters to cast their ballot in
each constituency for the
most popular third party,
whether the candidate repre-
sents the People’s Political
Party or is running as an
independent. -

(The PPP, a newly-formed
party, ran 16 candidates in
the election, while indepen-
dents contested eight seats).

In putting forward its elec-
toral position, the PFM also
decisively rejected the “‘nega-*
tive attitude of the two groups
of persons who are engaged
respectively in painting slo-
gans and issuing forged hand-
bills advising the people. not
