Anything is but the trut By LESLIE MORRIS New post offices, factories, roads, bridges, hospitals and ‘Schools are going to spring up all over the place, by grace of the Liberal party. = We are going to have a new industrial development tc put us all to work. Parents who want to send. their kids to high school will continue to receive family allowance for them after they reach 16. The Maritime provinces are at last going to get economic justice and the French language, by gad, will have to be spoken by civil servants. So say we all and Lester B. Pearson. * * * An end to Tory misrule, says the man whose party, when in government, gave the natural gas-pipeline to the Texas millionaires. : Back to Democracy, says the Man i the Bow Tie, whose party, without a by-your-leave, surren- dered Canada in the 1940’s and started the process of ‘‘inte- gration” with the United States so that we are more depen- dent on that country now than ever we were before. * * * % Don’t believe a word of it, friends. Listen to Mr. Pearson, writing in the United Church Observer of Oct. 15, 1961, on the subject of atomic weapons: "|. . We should not join the ‘nuclear club’ by acceptance Of nuclear weapons under national or so-called joint control. This would add little security to Canada or to the alliance, and Would be an abandonment of the stand we have taken at the ~ United Nations, and elsewhere; that the number of states Possessing nuclear weapons should be limited, rather than €xtended. : “Canada, if she became a nuclear power, would have far less influence and authority at the United Nations than she has had in the past . . . (I) can think of nothing worse than the extension of the nuclear club to an indefinite number of States: except, of course, the aggressive use of such weapons by any one state.” * * * The post offices, bridges, New Economic Development, justice for the Maritimes and family allowances after 16 years are no more substantial than Mr. Pearson’s words on the nuclear weapons in the Christian journal, the United ‘Church Observer, in Oct., 1961. He spoke falsely then, and he speaks falsely now. The only thing you can believe is his pledge to bring Nuclear weapons, to Canada if he gets half a chance. * * * That would be the start of a “new integration” with the Unitea States, including breaking off trade and diplomatic relations with: Cuba, the abandonment of the sale of grain to China — the correction of all the policies which have annoyed Jack Kennedy no end, and which the Liberals have been Sniping at for a long time. * * * To defeat Pearson’s plan to tie us body and soul to the United States in a nuclear arms straight jacket would be to begin to halt the process of national disintegration the Liberals long ago decided was the answer to the challenge of a world Moving towards socialism. ; Suicide pill for children? Professor E. U. Condon, Professor of Physics, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri thinks there should be a suicide pill in case of atomic attack and has given a little thought to the technical problems involved. The following !s taken from an article in the New York Nation by Professor Condon: “My pill would contain a copious, of mood-elevating, anti-depressment drug. action would counter-act that of the radiation hours, Then, inside the layer of that, there would be a good, strong, sleeping potion. Then inside of that, there would be a central core of the central ingredient, potossium cyanide ... Kinds of clear glass are known which turn purple when they recieve a dose of gamma rays. We would make heart shaped bottles out of ae dee to contain the pill, and they could be worn round the n on a chain.” The Professor suggests a name for the drug, For children a smaller size, DIGIGGLIN! * slow-dissolving layer Its splendid for several DILAFFIN. 1s of the world for for the cessation of monstrous idea of “DIGIGGLIN”. The successful fight of the people complete and universal disarmament, all atomic testing, will do away with the having little children wear around their necks “Women of the World,” ow mad the atomaniacs in rderers were pikers the U.S. The above box appeared in the magazine, No. 12, 1962.

In her introductory remarks outlining the origin and history of International Women’s Day, Mrs. Poloway highlighted the de- man of Canadian women every- where in her appeal ‘‘to make known to every candidate on the hustings that we reject nuclear arms in Canada now or ever.” The audience heard two guest speakers, Mrs. Anne Swankey, one of the Canadian delegates to the Congress of Women of the Americas, held earlier this year Havana, Cuba, and Mrs. Mickey Beagle, executive member of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union. Mrs. Swankey spoke on the tremendous strides made by the Cuban people in the field of edu- cation; health, housing and gen- eral social construction since the \vasion of Cuba’’ by the U.S. Everest hero Sherpa Tensing is seen here sightseeing in Mos- cow last week. He was presented with the highest Soviet sports award for his mountain-climbing feat. Twelve British mountaineers, who took part in the joint-Soviet-British expedi- tion to the Pamirs last year, have also been awarded a Soviet medal which was instituted in honour of the expedition. Tensing told reporters he would like his daughter Nima to study in Moscow. “I like everything here, especially the people,” he said. Castro government took over, comparing these signal advances with the horrible conditions of the Cuban peoples under the old U.S.- Batista regime. The speaker also gave an out- line from the reports of many of the women delegates from the Latin American countries, show- ing the appalling poverty, desti- tution and disease in which mil- lions are compelled to exist un- der repressive U.S. - subsidized governments. Mrs. Mickey Beagle centered her remarks on the struggles of Canadian women in_ various branches of industry for ‘‘equal pay for equal work’’ regardless of sex, and the need of higher minimum wage levels to corres- pond to rising living costs. “We must put all candidates on record on these issues’’, stated Mrs. Beagle, ‘since without this equal- ity, needed kindergartens, child care centres, health, etc., will not be established.” Greetings were also brought to the Women’s Day gathering by. representatives of the AUUC, Federation of Russian-Canadians, United Jewish Peoples Order, The Finnish Organization of Can- ada, and the Czechoslovakian or- ganization. Choral groups and dancers from the same ethnic organizations presented a fine program of entertainment. Two resolutions were passed unanimously, one expressing warm solidarity with the people of Cuba and the countries of Latin America and urging upon the Canadian government to ex- tend trade with Cuba, and take a strong stand ‘‘against any in- The other resolution, presented by Mrs. Beagle, urges the ‘‘elec- tion of those candidates who stand firmly for an independent position for Canada in respect to No Nuclear Arms For Canada . and to work in every way possible for general disarma- ment.” Circulation improves, By JERRY SHACK (Circulation Manager) Just imagine what an im- pact the Pacific Tribune will have on the political scene in B.C. when it publishes 10,000 copies each and every week! oe The thought of having 10,- our paper be- ing circulat- ed through- out the prov- ince every week is not wishful thinking — it is com- ing, just ‘as surely as day fol- lows night. With every new. reader that is won, with every old reader who renews his sub, with every new bundle order by a press club, (indeed, with every copy of the paper sold) we inch forward to the day when the PT will become a paper with a mass circula- tion. ; This is not intended to min- imize the very effective role now being played by the paper nor to belittle the vali- ant efforts of our press build- ers all over the province. For the results of our circulation efforts from the beginning of the year are most gratifying In January and February we sold almost 1100 copies | more this year than we did in the corresponding period last year—a healthy rise in paper sales. In addition, we gained 52 new readers during that ‘statement and, unfortunately, moves Up of a year ago — showing that the renewals are being picked up more consistently. This, of course, is a general 000 copies of - period, compared with 36 last year. Ee But perhaps the best new of all is that our total subs handed in during the past two months represent an increase of 50 readers over our figures does not apply to all clubs across the board. Some clubs have not yet handed in their renewals for January and February and press directors are strongly urged to check on this vital aspect of work.
