THE NATIONAL - /Alp) “EX 7¥y CY%E Cou TREBLE 25 years ago... ST, LAURENT WON’T STOP PRICES GOUGE OTTAWA — The cost of - living continued its . upward flight during July. The St. Laurent government adamantly refuses to do anything to check . and reduce people’s living costs. Prime Minister St. Laurent -made this clear in his radio ad- dress of Sept. 4. On the heels of another boost of 1.3 points to take the official index to a new high of 188.9, the prime minis- ter made a national broadcast to tell Canadians they may expect increasing prices and sacrifices for the next generation as the price of Canada’s arms program. The Tribune, September 10, 1951 FLASHBACKS FROM THE COMMUNIST PRESS 50 years ago... | CAPITALISM GIVES CHURCH NEW JOB The Bishop of London is here to organize the Church of England in Canada into a dis- tributing bureau for England’s unemployed. In an address at Convocation Hall this is the way the Bishop went at his new job: “I am pleading tonight for the British Empire, the most wonderful thing in the world, for it is held together without any attempts at force and en- tirely by invisible bonds. It is a great association of free nations all of whom are absolutely free and at liberty to leave the Em- pire at any time they choose. But they do not want to leave.” The Worker, September 4, 1926 EDITORIAL GOMIMIEINT For workers’ solidarity! — The Tribune greets workers across _ Canada on Labor Day with the same un- wavering solidarity it’s proud to de- monstrate in battles week after week, the year round. And it carries in its pages, what is not seen in capitalist papers, do- zens of greetings sent by workers’ and democratic organizations. As we mark Labor Day this year a Day of Protest is being prepared, which calls for all-out unity so that labor and its mill- ions of supporters can rattle the windows of the ruling monopolies and their kept governments on Oct. 14. Government big-wigs have already started their threats — with Munro and Basford sounding off. But labor cannot U.S. risks war in Korea Canadians are again expected to swal- low the U.S. version of the “news” about Korea as in 1950. . Then, with the puppet Syngman Rhee _ regime in the South unable to win even a “fixed” election, the USA sent in its troops to attack the North, and in the absence of the Soviet Union and People’s China from the United Nations Security Council, dubbed this force a UN force. Today, with the USA still occupying part of Korea and bankrolling the foul Park dictatorship, the same “Yankee militarist propaganda is fed to Cana- dians. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has repeatedly warned of U.S. war moves, and on Aug. 7 stated that the U.S. imperialists “have now finished war pre- parations and are going over to the ad- -tor-could be that Koreans, just as easily as _the whole incident and have proof of be turned off by such threats. The big business media will step up confusion and labor-splitting between now and Oct. 14, but its “advice” to workers and their leaders turns out'to be boss prop- aganda in disguise. Workers know from their own experi- ence that the working-class press is a dif- ferent matter, fighting workers’ battles which are its own battles, bringing to light what the capitalist media try to bury. oe Greetings of solidarity on Labor Day from the paper that marches with the workers. And Iet’s do it up big on Oc- tober 14! “ venturous machinations to directly ig- nite the fuse of war.” The incident of Aug. 18, which the U.S. media presents as a soap opera, is differently told by the DPRK side, as a | deliberate U.S. provocation in which DPRK personnel had to fight for their lives.
