In 1970 the Trudeau ad-
ministration came forward
oe : with the proposal to grow
grass, not wheat. Tens of
thousands of farmers across
Canada have taken to the
highways and city streets
(right) in massive demon-
strations against the gov-
ernment's destructive farm
policies. 1971 will again see
their tractors roll in protest
actions.

“ The withdrawal of troops from
Quebec; the release of all those arrest-
ed, held without charge.

Such a program not only creates the
conditions for winning the one million
new jobs the Communist Party has
campaigned for, it also begins to get
at the crisis in Quebec.

The Communist Party appeals again.

to the Canadian Labor Congress, Con-

-federation of National Trade Unions,

New Democratic Party, National Farm
Union and other people’s organiza-
tions to come together in emergency
conferences on federal, provincial, and

municipal levels to work out a common -

program to protect the people from the
recession and oppression, and to press
for its implementation at all levels of
government.

The Communist Party calls upon -

working people and democratic Cana-
dians to:

® Unite to protect the working peo-
ple from the effects of the recession.
Place the burden where it belongs: on
monopoly!

® Unite to repeal the War Measures
Act and the Public Order (Temporary
Measures) Act which is monopoly’s re-
actionary way out of the crisis! With-
draw the armed forces from Quebec!

® Unite to restore and extend demo-

cratic rights! Defeat anti-labor legis- -

lation!

The attack on labor—and hence on all working people—mounted
in intensity in the first year of the 1970's. Provincial governments
increasingly turned to repressive anti-labor legislation. Labor fought
back—one of the biggest demonstrations in history was mounted at
Queen's Park in Toronto by the Ontario labor movement. A united
trade union movement in B.C. compelled Bennett to retreat.

Peace-loving men and we-
men in Canada and all over
the world salute the heroic
people of Vietnam. Their
voices rise louder and louder
in their demands: “Stop the
war in Vietnam! Withdraw U.S.
troops! Full respect for the
Vietnamese people’s right to
independently settle their own
affairs!”
