Common Market ‘bonus’ to
destroy food — up prices

The ‘Common Market’ coun-
tries of France and Belgium are
currently destroying hundreds of
tons of fruit and vegetables,
French farmers are estimated to
have destroyed 1,000 tons of
Grade A tomatoes, while in both
countries crops are being plow-
ed under or stacked in huge
compost piles. This move is aim-
ed at “stabilizing” prices rather
than selling these foods off
cheaply,

It is reported that the French
and Belgium farmers receive a
“destruction bonus”, paid out of
‘Common Market’ funds to keep
consumer prices up,

In West Germany and other

European countries there have _

been massive protests by con-
sumer bodies, taxpayers, and in
many instances political leaders,

Many British labor leaders who
strongly oppose Harold Wilson’s
desperate efforts to take Britain
into the ‘Common Market? are now
more opposed than ever since
this food destruction became

public.

‘Harsh winter’ warning
for British people

The British Communist Party
last week warned that “the harsh-
est winter for years threatens the
working people,” as unemploy-
ment grew sharply, Itis estimated
that some 7,500,000 people live
in poverty, three million of them
children,

In a statement, the CP Political
Committee said that after 12
months of frozen wages, higher
prices and growing unemployment
as a result of Wilson’s July
1966 measures, the government’s
bankrupt policies are becoming
evident to the people,

The statement said that far
from solving any problems, these
policies had been the main factor
in bringing about the present
grim situation,

The British CP calls for re-
placement of the incomes policy
by new policies of higher wages,
pensions and benefits and for
cuts in the arms budget and ex-
panded trade with socialist coun-
tries. It urges the government to
“step by step” take over the big
monopolies,

“Why is the country faced with
this critical situation? Because
the government has refused to
tackle the basic causes of the
economic crisis,” says the
statement,

“It has carried on where the
Tories left off, determined to
maintain Britain’s role as an
imperialist power, and the City
of London as a world financial
centre,

Du Bois club leader
killed in Texas

George Vizard, 23-year-old
Texas DuBois Club leader, was
shot and killed Sunday morning,
July 23, Vizard was at work in
the ice locker of a grocery store
when he was murdered by several
shots in the back,

Vizard had at one time been a
full-time worker for the Students
for a Democratic Society with
whom he continued to maintain
close ties.

Money in the store’s cash reg-
ister was untouched, Customers
discovered the body.

Peace activists in the area

have charged a political assasin-
ation, Vizard was one of the best-

| known figures of the -Left in

Texas, as a fighter for peace in
Vietnam, for Negro rights, and

for labor’s efforts to organize
farm workers in the Rio Grande
Valley,

He was recently arrested for
his participation in peace activ-
ities, and was beaten by the
Austin police,

A recent state-wide meeting of
the DuBois clubs, organized by
Vizard, had protested Houston
police action against Negro stu-
dents at Texas Southern Uni-
versity, and the attacks of the
Texas Rangers onthe farm strik-
ers.

Local sources believe threats
against Vizard had their origins
in the Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety, The Minutemen in the
Austin area have become ag-
gressive recently.
