WASHINGTON — According
to figures released by the U.S.
Commerce Dept. this month,
American ownership in Canada
jumped by a staggering $1.24
billion to a total of $24 billions
In 1972.

And the significant thing
about this expansion of U.S.
Ownership in Canada is that
almost all of it was financed by

nesses.

Last year a survey by the
U.s. Commerce Dept. produced
a similar trend, and prompted
the then leader of the New De-
Mocratic Party, T. C. Douglas,
to say that a whopping 94% of
U.S. investment by subsidiaries
in Canada was being carried out
by using profits made here.

Survey shows that U.S. owner-

increases also taking place in
mining and smelting and the
petroleum industry. ..

were released, a report of the
Science Council of Canada warn-
ed that Canada faces critical
economic problems because of
the high level of foreign owner-
ship of its industry.

The report said foreign-owned
industry has established itself in
Canada’s major economic sect-
ors, using the technology devel-
oped by parent corporations, and
it blamed the federal govern-
ment for allowing this to hap-
pen, saying “Canadians are in-
creasingly becoming hewers of
wood and drawers of water.”

While exports of natural re-
sources continue to soar, Can-
ada’s trade deficit in all kinds of
sophisticated manufactured pro-
ducts is growing, the report
says.

These include machine tools,
scientific instruments, chemicals,
computers and a wide range of
engineering and design capabil-
ities.

This is where the jobs of the
future are, and yet federal gov-
ernment policies have encourag-
ed this predicatement, the report
says,

“Not only does Canada do no-
thing to restrict the process,”
the report complains, “but
through its policy of non-discri-
minatory support for all comers
(and through incentive pro-
grams), it offers positive induce-

“yients-to accelerate it.”

END U.S. DOUBLEDEALING

Henry Kissinger flies to Paris and
back, Saigon emissaries and U.S. mili-
tary chiefs exchange visits, President
Nixon pontificates about peace coming
soon — and yet the U.S. protracts the
signing of the ceasefire agreement to

-which it has long since agreed. U.S.

bombers are continuing their raids of
death and destruction in Indochina,
Thieu has been supplied with astound-
ing numbers of war planes and other
supplies — and the USS. itself has no
thought of withdrawing from Vietnam.

A New York Times despatch from
Saigon tells of 10,000 American “civili-
ans” that will stay in South Vietnam
even if the ceasefire is signed to “do
everything from running the South
Vietnamese military’s personnel and
logistics computers and communications

network to teaching the air force how
to fly and maintain newly provided
planes.”

Only world action can compel Nixon
to sign.

The Canadian government has not
said a word on this, but is reportedly
currently running interference ‘for the
U.S: in delaying actions for the Euro-
pean Security Conference. External
Affairs Minister Sharp is reported de-
manding free access of anti-socialist
agents and propaganda into the social-
ist countries as the price of agreement
on security.

France has rebuffed U.S. attempts to
transform the conference as a “meet-
ing of two blocs” with the American
heading the capitalist side.

‘War's end top priority

“The struggle to compel the
U.S. government to sign the
agreement with the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam must be at
the top of the list of tasks,”
Communist Party leader Wil-
liam Kashtan told a meeting of
the Party’s central’: committee
in Toronto last weekend.

Mr. Kashtan’s report analyzed
the recent federal election and
proposed action in the coming
period (read excerpts from the
report on page 7 and a report
of the discussion on page 4).

The Communist Party is plan-
ning to send a delegation to Ot-
tawa for the opening session of
the new Parliament on Jan. 4,

other parties.

perialism have compelled the
forces of war to retreat,’ Mr.
Kashtan warned that imperial-
ism “remains an aggressive,
predatory system.”

The meeting endorsed the
idea of fielding double the num-
ber of candidates in the next
federal election, which could be
called very soon, to influence
the struggle for turning politics
to the Left and fighting to win
votes and elect Communists as
an indispensable part of elect-
ing a larger bloc of progressive
MP’s to Parliament.
