NEW PAMPHLET TO SPARK CAMPAIGN FOR NEW JOBS 5 CENTS Reproduced above is the vover of a new pamphlet issue* by the Communist Party. I+ is available at the People’s Co-0> Book Store, 307.W. Pender St., at a cost of five cents a copy. Below are reprinted some excerpts from the pamnvble:: It used to be said by well-meaning people that thr cold war meant jobs. It was a shortsighted point of view that SR eae by Leshe Morris how the cold war causes unemployment pinned employment on the arms race. But many held it. When the Avro Arrow was abandoned and thousands thrown out of work, eyes were opened .. . : Not only are there no steady jobs in producing war materials, but death resides in them. War is not what it used to be—confined to soldiers and sailors. It is total war—the aim of which is the annihilation in the wink of an eye of entire populations .. . e * There are over half a million official unemployed. an4 thousands more “unofficial” We have a “permanent” army of unemployed now. an41 automation is adding to it. * For 15 years now this country has been pushed bv the Liberal and Tory governments into a situation where we have neither military nor economic security. This policy. execute alike by Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Diefenbaker, has for its rur- pose the “integration” of Canada with the USA. “Integration” means “woven together,” but in this case the ‘‘weaving” is very uneven, to say the least. The main threads are American, the tag ends are Canadian ... So, our economv must not become chiefly a manufactur- ing economy, but one which will produce raw materials for the USA while we import finished goods from the USA. Actually, what we are doing when we export raw materials to the USA is to export. Canadian jake = aviueaver cis Americans that rightly belong: to Canadians. And we also “export” thousands of our trained professionals to the USA because our industries are not sufficiently developed to em- ploy them here .. . * * Almost two-thirds of our trade is with the USA. and is at the mercy of the USA. The Americans do not hesitate ty raise barriers against our raw materials if they find it in their interests to do so. But the same things does not annly to the Canadian imports of U.S. manufacturers. We are almost com pletely dependent on them, as well as on parts end machine tools... There is more American money invested in Canada, with 18 million people, than in Latin America, with 200 million people: $17 billion as acainst $19 hillion. This huve invest. ment is here not for the kenefit ef Canadians. but for nrofite to the U.S. investors. Hundreds of millions of dollars in profit go to the U.S. owners every. year, or are plowed back as in- vestments in Canada to tighten the stranglehold on our economy. * * The trade unions. the farmers’ organizations, Canadian businessmen and employers who are the victims of the big American mononvolies. the New Democrstie Party. the Com. munist Partv. thousands of Tory and T.iberal voters whe are dissatisfied with the old-narties. all should jain their voices in demanding new policies for Canada. to take our country out of the swamp of unemployment and the danger of war, and along the road to peace and prosperity. A recent issue of ‘Vecher- naya”’ in the Soviet Union devoted most of a page to a translation of a story by Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock. Over 52,700,000 Soviet citi- zens have 11,700 million roubles deposited in nearly 70,000 savings banks.

In the greater interest of peace and co-operation he- tween our two countries ‘vis complicity must end.” Gen. de Gaulle, in a nation- wide broadcast said the Evian pacts foreshadowed an inde- pendent Algeria “if she so de- sires,” but added that indis- soluble links had been forged. between Algeria and France during the past 132 years.
