By the time this is printed, the
federal election will be over,
and our new government will be
watched with interest as they
start to run this nation’s busi-
ness,

_ Goodness knows, there’s much
to do and in the weeks of elec-
tioneering many things, of vital
concern in our every day living
were conveniently overlooked as
the politicians particularly ofthe

two old line parties hammered:

and blasted at each other trying to
convince the voters that they were
the ‘‘good guys’’ and the others
were the ‘‘bad guys’’,

Among the myriad of prob-
lems facing Canadians, is the
ever-increasing cost of living—
and warnings have been sounded
before now that inflation is a
very distinct possibility here un-
less measures are taken to hold
living costs down.

Tommy Douglas, national
leader of the New Democratic
Party, in one of his Vancouver
speeches said ‘‘that gyps, frauds
and extravagances”’ are rocketing
the cost of living in Canada,
**Why should this be so, when the
prices received by our farmers
and fishermen are actually.
falling?’? He pointed out living
‘costs have risen five per cent in
the past two years, while farm
prices have dropped 4.5%,

Mr. Douglas went on to give
several examples of what he call-
‘ed frauds used against con-
sumers: ‘‘In some brands of
washing machines, he said the
motor is a sealed unit. Once the
warranty expires, if any part of
the motor wears out, the whole
motor has to be replaced at the
purchaser’s expense; ‘‘but what

Women’s news

is worse, he went on to say,
‘fengineers tell us that some of
the motors are actually designed
to wear out after a certain period
of time,

And while prices soar beyond’
all reason, it is interesting to
take a look at the financial state-
ments of some of the larger
companies, for example, the 1964
financial statements of Northern
Electric, Canadian General Elec-
tric, and Canadian Westinghouse
all show enormous increases in
net profit for 1964 as compared
to 1963 . . . (just one example,
Canadian General Electric net
profits were up 23.7% over 1963)
and out of whose pockets do these
high profits come?

Clearly, immediate action is
necessary to protect our standard
of living. Mr. Douglas named
some proposals his party would
put into effect if elected—such
as a/price board, curtailment of
dishonest advertising, and acon-
sumers’ bureau to test market
products for quality.

Just a short while ago, the
Women Against High Prices
Committee of B.C. called for a
government commission to en-
quire into the prices of food and
other necessities of life.

The final point the Women’s
Committee made, was that during
such an enquiry NO government
should allow any increase in the
price of such staples as milk,
dairy products and meat, and that
there be NO increase inthe price
of public ytilities such as gas,
electricity, bus or ferry trans-
poration and telephone services,

The help of every consumer is
certainly required to get such a
campaign on its way. Could you
sit down and write to your new
M.P., or your old one if re-elected
and demand that one of the first
tasks of our new government is

action to stop runaway prices and °

stabilize our living costs?

Right of dissent issue
in McCarran Act trial

WASHINGTON—The Commu-
nist Party was put on trial here
last week under the McCarran
Act in U.S. District Court, This
is the second trial of the Com-
munist’ Party whose attorneys
indicated they will again chal-
lenge the constitutionality of the

Act.

The first trial of the Commu-
nist Party in December, 1962
resulted in the conviction and
imposition of a $120,000 fine,
It was the first time in the his-
tory of the U.S, that a political
party was put on trial,

In December 1963 the U.S,
Court of Appeals reversed the
conviction on the grounds that
it violated the constitutional
right against self-incrimination
of the Party’s officers who would
be required, under the Act, to
register the Party, 2

The Appeals Court ruling,
however, declared that the gov-
ernment might re-open the case
if it found a volunteer willing
to register the Party, The Ap-
peals Court ruling was left in
force when the U.S. Supreme
Court refused to review it. On

CP urges new 12-mile limit;
hits fisheries falsification

Support for the establishment
of a ‘twelve mile offshore limit
drawn on a headland-to-headland
baseline with exclusion of all for-
eign boats from fishing in Cana-
dian territorial waters,’’ was
combined with criticism of un-
scrupulous efforts by Liberal
politicians to use the fisheries
jurisdiction question as a tool
of the cold war, in a statement
issued by the B.C, Executive of
the Communist Party last week,

‘Allegations published in the
Vancouver Sun regarding the
stealing of ‘halibut net lights’
are indicative of the deliberate
falsifications being used’’ Nigel

Morgan, B.C, leader of the Com-
munist Party declared. ‘‘Net
lights are not involved because
halibut are taken by longline
and nets don’t enter into it,’’
he pointed out, |

‘*Another deliberate misrepre-
sentation lies in reprinting com-
plaints made by Canadian fisher-
men in the Gulf of Alaska, (taken
up by the Canadian government
and officially declared ‘closed’
months ago) as if they referred
to last week’s appearance of the
Russian trawl fleet in Queen
