An appeal to Canadian farmers to “stand up for peace’ as the only road to larger export trade, Prosperity and health, was made here recently by J. L. Gunia, presi- dent of Manitoba Farmers Union. REGENT TAILORS Custom-Made Clothes 324 W. HASTINGS ST. PA 8456 Gunia, in an interview, coupled his plea for peace with sharp con- demnation of Truman’s announce- | ment of possible use of the A-bomb. He declared: 3 “We farmers of Manitoba must face the issue of peace clearly as to whether we choose to organize against the warmongers, against their policy of war, or bear the consequences of war. “When we say that a stand must be taken for peace, it is because higher prices for our wheat will not mean a thing if atomic bombs are dropped upon us and our fam- ilies. The United States govern- ment has already spent over $12 ‘billion on war. Our Canadian gov- ernment is spending and preparing to spend great amounts of money every day for destruction. “Yet if we as farmers organize | for peace we are called Commun- ists. If we ask for parity prices, we are called Communists, If the housewives of our country ask for lower prices on goods necessary to keep body and soul together they also are called Communists. “The warmongers’ have only the anti-Communist slogan to bank on in order that they can have war. “On behalf of our. Manitoba Farmers Union I ask you farmers to stand up for peace as it is the only road we can find to export trade with 475 million people in China who can use much of our farm products, and let us demand that the true ‘ representatives of the Chinese People’s Republic be given a vote in the United Nations and that the people of Korea, be allowed to settle their own prob- lems.” , UNION MEN ...

C. | | armas SMR Peace vital to our wheat markets, says farm head British foreign holdings down by 50 percent LONDON British foreign investments de- clined by almost 50 percent over the 10-year period from 1938 to 1948, it is revealed in a recent study by the Bank of England entitled “United Kingdom Overseas Investments 1988 to 1948.” The decline has resulted in a ser- ious drop in interest and profits’ which formerly helped to pay for the excess of British imports over exports, and has brought an end to the British monopoly of foreign’ trade in areas formerly tied to London financially, American capital, which in many cases forced British capital out of | the picture, is filling the gap left by withdrawal of British capital, and American traders are pressing the British hard in places where Britain ‘formerly held the trade monopoly. Figures in the Bank of England survey show where British invest- ment reductions have been most- severe, For example, in India and Pakistan British investments in 1948 were only 82 percent of the 1988 figure; in Canada 61 percent; — in New Zealand 51 percent; in South Africa 36 percent; in Aus- tralia 24 percent, and in all other Commonwealth countries, only & percent of the 1938 level. In the meantime, U.S. invest- ments have been pouring into: Canada to such an extent that Professor Robert A, Brady, author of a recent study of | Britain, remarks that “Canada: is being increasingly viewed in certain circles as a sort of 49th _ state of the United States.” India is the subject. of recent study pamphlets published by the Rockfeller controlled Chase Nation. al Bank, which paints an inviting future for American imperialism there. “Americans aré now assured equality with Indian investors,’ the study states, “and in addition, con- vertibility of current profits.” — — 4 Copper Mountain Miners’ Union | oe LOCAL No. 649 __ "Copper Mountain, B, c ; EXTENDS SEASON'S GREETINGS a a | UE ee TT dT * a t COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON 22 from © | SOINTULA LOCAL & UNITED FISHERMEN & ALLIED WORKERS oe / UNION. © . i Y New Year’s Party = CABARET STYLE ELECTRICAL WORKERS CENTRE 111 Dunsmuir St. 4 oe Saturday, December 30, 9 p.m. to? | FUN, FAVORS, DANCING TO GOOD ORCHESTRA $5.00 per Couple Tickets: People’s Cooperative Bookatine: - 337 Ww.
