JOIN THE BUCCANEERS

For $75,000 you too can
live in luxurious retreat

By LESLIE MORRIS

TORONTO—Just before dawn on the morning of December 3 a young unemployed
man of 24 left his wife and three babies in the one room which is their home.

Shortly afterwards he was arrested by Toronto detectives and charged with shop-
breaking. The police say that he was found in a closed restaurant with a lighted candle stub.

The detectives who locked
him up said there was no food
in the one-room home.

What sort of father would
he be who watched his child-
ren starve in a land of plenty?

Now consider Edward Plun-
kett Taylor, CMG, - Canada’s
multi-millionaire, the man who
knows a good thing when he
sees it, especially when it
means money.

He has his hands in many
things, from chain stores to
race horses; a patron of the
arts who launched his finan-
cial career on a sea of beer.

Every time you lug home a
case of Dow’s, O’Keefe’s, Car-
ling’s or Brading’s on Friday
night, you pump money into
Mr. Taylor’s pockets, just as
you do when you buy a bit of
lumber or go shopping for
your week’s rations at Domin-

ion Stores or buy Texaco gas

for your jalopy.

In fact most Canadians work
in ene way or another for Mr.
Taylor and his fellow beer
barons.

Mr. Taylor, needless to say,
doesn’t have to break into a

restaurant in the murky win-
ter dawn looking for food for
his kids. In fact, his dawns are
not murky at all. They are
peaceful and fine. He spends
the dark and dismal winter
days Toronto is afflicted with
in the “greater peace and quiet
which the islands of the
Bahamas offer,” to quote a
touching article he wrote for
the Financial Post.

When you strap-hang your
way home from work or bull
the car along think of Mr.
Taylor’s invitation “to get
away from extremely heavy
traffic and other forms of con-
gestion.” :

How can you reach this para-
dise? By taking a TCA Super-
Constellation to “the new air-
port at Windsor Field” says
Mr. Taylor. It is “located only
six miles from the Lyford Cay
area” in the Bahamas.

What is Lyford Cay? It is
Mr. Taylor’s new empire, lo-
cated on the property of the
people of the Bahamas. “Lux-

the Financial Post, describing
the “inside story of this fabu-
lous $12 million Canadian de-
velopment in the Bahamas.”

Do you want to buy a lot in
Lyford Cay, at the west end of
New Providence Island, where
it-is now “just right for golf,
ideal or swimming”? Where
the temperature is holding
steady at 78 and “not a cloud
in the sky?”

If you want to be on the
beach, which is so handy,
“bottom price is $40,000; top
is $75,000.”

If you are a rung down on
the Canadian social scale you
will have to be satisfied with
a lot on the driveways which
Mr. Taylor is building. They
“run from $20,000 to $30,000
each.” :

But if you aré among Lyford
Cay’s proletriat you must be
satisfied with a_lot which
“overlooks the sea from the
hills that rise beyond the golf
course.” it sells for a paltry
$10,000 to $15,000.

Mr. Taylor looks after every-
thing. He assures. prospective
settlers that “the government
of the Bahamas is stable gov-
ernment.” And for those of
you who groan under income
taxes, indirect taxes (which
you don’t see but feel) you
will be comforted to know
that there is a solution.

According to Mr. Taylor,
“the colony, which is self-
governed, has favorable tax
laws, no income taxes, and no
death duties on real estate and
only very small death duties
on other assets.”

In this “self-contained com-
munity of gracious homes”
which Mr. Taylor has organ-
ized for Canadians who want
low taxes and stable govern-
ment (and low death duties)
people who “treasure their
own privacy” are preferred,
like Brig. C. D. McCarthy and
Col. W. E. Phillips of Canada,
or the Earl of Dudley, Lord
Astor, and the Earl of Faver-
sham from Britain.

“Tt will function without
fanfare,” says the Financial
Post of Mr. Taylor’s new em-
pire for weary millionaires. It
provides for them “a _ placid,
exclusive retreat.”

This is how white million-
aires have found Nirvana in

a British colony of Negro
people — all thought out and
organzed by Mr. Taylor, whose
long experience in such mat-
ters is described by F. and L.
Park in their booklet, The
Power and the Money.

The enterprising spirit of the
man is seen in this quotation
in the Parks’ booklet from a
report given by Mr. Taylor in
1933 when he was putting the
boots to 23 rival breweries:

“. . » with consolidation an
accomplished fact, and half a
million dollars cash in the
bank, we would be in a posi-
tion to make the operations
of any one of the above listed
companies so disastrous that
they would be forced to con-
solidate with us or go out of
business.”

The Bahamas are situated qn
the old Spanish Main where
Henry Morgan and his bold,
brave mate stole Spanish gold
to help British capitalism in
its period of primitive accumu-
lation.

Primitive indeed were Hen-
ry’s exploits.

But Mr. Taylor is up-to-date.
He has streamlined buccaneer-
ing. He combines his owner-
ship of the land of the Baham-
ian people with the provision
for his fellow buccaneers of
placid and private retreats
from the hurly-burly of Cana-
dian life — the Inco strike
and the growing jobless army,
the desperate father seeking
food for his children. And —
masterly touch, to soothe the
the bourgeois soul, all this and
lower taxes too!

What do you think about it,
dear reader? What price these

Canadian patriots of the bull-

Modern buccaneer

dog breed? What price the
modern buccaneer?

What price the men who
have looted our couhtry and
spend their declining years
not even in Canada — but on
the “sandy beaches and blue
Caribbean,” in “luxurious pri-
vacy” on somebody else’s land?

Mr. Taylor wants his private
empire to “function without
fanfare.” And well he may be-
cause there are deep political
lessons to be found by Cana-
dian workers in his activities.

We have, as Bernard Shaw
said of Britain, “a superabund-
ance of rascals” in this country.

Let there be the fanfare that
Mr. Taylor wants to avoid. Let
the “exclusive privacy” of
these gentlemen and _ their
ladies be rudely disturbed.

The pitiless glare of public
exposure should be directed
alike on the young unemploy-
ed father of three hungry
babies and their social and
political opposites—the dollar-
patriots of Lyford Cay.

Finally, consider this:

In a socialist country you
would not find starving babies
whose father is compelled to
steal.

And — rest homes by the
blue sea for peace and quiet
are not the source of profits
for rich men, neither are they
retreats for surfeited million-
aires, they belong to the peo-
ple.
