In - fact, the likelihood is that there will be an even more intensive _ pressure for the kind of sellout — _ that has already taken place in oil, in iron ore, and is now taking mace in Columbia River power. This likelihood is revealed in - Financial Post article which Treports on a U. S. government study on that country’s need for hydro power, natural gas and concerned, oil in the next 20-40 years, This study, the Post says, Tosa indicates the U.S. need _ for Columbia River power, Can- _ adian natural gas and oil, from : eedstine fields in Canada and from future production in the tar sands,’? As far as existing oilfieldsare their production is already some 90 percent control- ed by the U.S. and other foreign - companies. U.S. eagerness to use _ an atom bomb to blast oil pro- oO ee duction from the tar sands has _ at times reached scandal propor- tions in this country, _ The study of U.S. energy needs was confined to the U.S. area west of the Continental Divide and was concerned with fuels for electric generation in the’ eo vereers U.S, ; pe letup i To give you some idea of what is involved; Total energy use in the U. S. West is expected to double by 1980; electric genera- tion would quadruple and ther- mal generation would multiply, Perhaps some of these figures show why fastbuck operators like ‘British Columbia’s Socred Pre- mier W. A. C. Bennett can hope to make a mint by satisfying some of these huge power needs of expanding U.S, industry. But piping and pumping this power south of the border in- stead of using it to build factor- ies on this side of the border will leave Canada an industry- stripped wasteland, : There’s another angle involv- ed. The U.S, study also shows that “Stop thief!” Eccles in the London Daily Worker ewe ae ae LOOKING FOR UNUSUAL BUYS § AT POPULAR PRICES? — — CHINAWARE — LINENS ee se So ee ee = mets ee in U.S. pressure | _to grab up our resources by the 1970's, the Yanks will be using more and more nuclear power, This will ease off their need for hydro power and natur- al gas. Look what is bound to happen if we follow the advice of some ef our country’s present ‘‘states- men’? who propose to tie the development of our power poten- tial to U.S, neéds. When they no longer meed our power we’ll be left both without an industry and without power markets, But that’s one of the disadvant- ages of being an economic satel- lite. This should be an old story for Canada. When we let our west- coast lumber industry become almost totally reliant on the U.S. market instead of encouraging the development of secondary’ industries here, the Yanks start- ed threatening us with tariffs on lumber imports. When we allowed our country to become dependent: on Us; money markets for short-term loans, the U.S. threatened to slap a tariff on the export of this kind of capital to Canada, thus creat- ing the danger of a tremendous balance-of-payments crisis, Some day soon, Canadians may be forced to draw the conclusion _ that American economic policies are guided by self-interest and not brotherhood, From there it’s only a short step to seeing the need for Canadian independence. U.S. Govt. presses drive ‘ Mine Mill Six present and past leaders of the Mine Mill union have been found guilty in a Denver court of “conspiracy to violate the Taft-Hartley nhon-Communist affidavit” provision that has been _Tepealed four years ago, They were retried even though _ their previous conviction on the same charge was reversed by the appeals court. The six were given until October 7 to file an appeal and remained free on bail. The charge against them was _ applied retroactively.on the claim the men ‘falsely’? filed non-— Communist affidavits between 1949 and 1956, a period during which the U.S, government, with the aid of the testimony of only its paid informers, claimed the six were Communists. Anger covers entire U.S. at Birmingham murders The murder of six Negro child- ren in a Birmingham church recently has touched off a wave of anger throughout the United States. This anger was effectively ex- pressed by Benjamin J. Davis, of the U.S. Communist Party, ina telegram to President Kennedy, in which he said that the Neg- ro people have received ‘‘a blow to their sour*and they ery out that the murderers oftheir child- ren be avenged and the seg- regation system that spawned such bestial racists be brought down once and for all,’? The first stunned shock which travelled across the country with the echo of these blasts has giv- en way to adamant demands for action from every quarter. The Negro owner of a store -by the church fumbled helpless- ly with his handkerchief as the tears streamed sown his face and, in words whose sentiments express the inermost feelings of 20 million U. S. Negroes, said: “My grandbaby was killed in there. You I feel like blowing the whole town up,?? From headquarters of the Na- tional Association for the Ad- vancemant of Colored People, executive secretary Roy Wilkins branded the killings as a ‘de- liberate mass murder” encour- aged by Governor Wallace. “If the government will not furnish more than piecemeal and Picayune aid,’? said Wilkins, ‘‘Negroes will marshall such re- sources as we possess and em- ploy such methods as our des- peration may dictate, ’? Hurrying to Birmingham from Atlanta, the Rev. Martin Luther King fired a telegram to Pre- sident Kennedy which declared in part; “I am convinced that unless some immediate steps are taken know how I feel? - by the federal government restore a sense of confidence in the protection of life, limb ant property . . we shall see Birmingham and Alabama t worst racial holocaust the nati has ever seen,’? U. S. District Judge Clarence W. Allgood, summoning the gra jury into special session to in dict anyone obstructing court: ordered desegregation of Bir ingham schools, spoke of tht church dynamitine. *T can think of of no greate heresy or more blackening ; against humanity,’? he said. Ht added that neither the cou nor the people of Birmingh should rest until‘‘the insane mu derer or murderers of thos children are brought to the b of justice,’”? In the strongest statement all the U, S. Worker was on newsstands witha front-page e torial headed ‘Justice Deman Death for Wallace and his Dyn miters.”? The editorial called Walla “the No. 1 criminal at large l this country” and “fa cold- blooded murderer”? and © aa that ‘‘the balance of justice d S mands that he pay with his life for his crimes.’’ “Check your tires, oil, level, sir?” ONTARIO ELECTION S CENE Labor breakthrough coming, says Morris Another big breakthrough is on the agenda in Ontario and the province will have another labor government soon, Leslie Morris, national leader of the Communist Party, told a provincial election rally in Hamilton Centre. The meeting also heard Wil- -liam Devine, the party’s cand- idate in Hamilton Centre, Morris recalled 1920 when the Tories and Liberals were ‘knocked off their pins?’ by the election of a labor-farmer gOov- ernment, Twenty years ago, he said, the CCF elected 34 mem- bers to Queen’s Park and ‘‘on a memorable night’? Liberals, CCF and Communist MPP’s unit- ed to throw the Tories out, ; The CCF at that time came — within an ace of taking the pro- vincial government, Morris stat- ed, and could have taken it if its leadership had not shrunk before its responsibilities, The working people of the pro- vince are going to have to realize that a collective bargaining agreement will not solve the big problems of jobs and job secur- ity, decent pensions and national- ization of U.S.-owned industries, he said, Nor can these tasks be accom-- plished by the trade unionsthem- selves, said Morris, The rallying of all sections of the people, in close alliance with the farmers, is needed, The leadership of the New democratic Party, however, is t still not what it should be, de-_ * ‘side U.S. control. industries can be returned to the mp hese * _ September 27, 1963 — PACIFIC TRIBUNE — Rage clared Morris.
