More like Chile if “in U.S. interests"-Ford

TORONTO — David Archer,.

the price of eggs is going up.

He was referring to an. an-
nouncement by the federal Cana-
dian Egg Marketing Agency
that another 13 million eggs. will
have to be buried by December.
That will bring the total number
of destroyed eggs to about 28
million.

He accused Mr. Whelan of
demonstrating “mismanagement,
misinformation and unconcern”
in regard to the egg situation.

United States President Gerald Ford
has issued what amounts .to a naked
threat to any country whose govern-
ment does not suit the U.S. administra-
tion and its Central Intelligence Agen-
cy. There. was a specific reference to
Canada.

In a news conference Sept. 16, Ford
acknowledged that it is U.S. policy to
decide unilaterally what is good for
people of other countries and to inter-
vene to destroy the economy, the gov-
ernment and democracy if it suits U.S.
aims, as it did in Chile.

< IN REPLY TO INFLATION AND PRICE FIXING
Communists project people policy

By ALF DEWHURST

Communists say there is something basically
| Wrong with government policy which allows 28 mil-
lion eggs to rot in storage to artificially jack up the
Price and, allegedly, production and farmers’ in-
somes. The real outcome of such policy will be a cut-
ack in consumption particularly by low income
families; and still higher profits for the grain and
monopoly which robs consumer and farmer

The same bankrupt poli llows monopoly price

; pt policy allo n i
fixing machinery to be steamed up to raise the price
of bread and other grain products the moment the
u drops of early Fall rain descend upon the

The same to sy-turvy policy incites the state-
owned (CBC) adie and TV to foster, day in and

tion is “world-wide”. This is sheer deception — mis-

leading advertising. Inflation is only capitalist world-

wide. There is no inflation in the socialist world.
Government policy which puts people last has now

‘produced stagflation. Namely, a no growth situation

in the economy coupled with inflation. In practical
terms what the people have got out of this policy is
inflation now running at 14.5% annually, real wages
declining at an annual rate of 5.6% and an unem-
ployment rate of better than 6%. On the other hand
monopoly profit-taking is increasing at an annual
rate of 28%. BS aie 2

This outrageous government policy is a “big
business first” policy. It is whole-heartedly sup-
ported by the Liberals and Conservatives alike.
And, unfortunately, in a growing number of in-
stances by NDP provincial governments.

of millions of U.S. dollars to wreck
Chile’s economy, paving the way for the
murder of President
and the overthrow of his elected gov-
ernment, Ford said brazenly that this
was justified because the U.S. adminis-
tration had decided that it was “in the

best interests of the people of Chile and
certainly in our best interests.” ~

Asked by a reporter how this differed
from subversion in a country like Can-
ada, the president replied that any U.S.
activities are for the good of the coun-
tries concerned. Presumably Canadians
‘would be treated to the same subver-
sion, economic sabotage, arming :
of fascists, and the same im-.
prisonment, torture and summary i

The _ president’s fusilade,
which brought unbelieving gasps
from correspondents, was much
in line with remarks attributed |
to Henry Kissinger who, as:
chairman of the 40 Commission ;
which authorized the CIA’s $11- |
million rampage in Chile. Kissin-
ger said at the time:

“I don’t see why we need to
stand by and watch a country go
Communist due to the irrespon-
sibility of its own people.” Go-
ing Communist could mean al-
most anything to the rabid im-
perialists in Washington.

For four years the U.S. gov-
ernment and the CIA have lied
about their key role in establish-
ing fascism in Chile. The chill-
ing new threat by Ford that
“such actions” are “a recogniz-
ed fact” .. . “in the best inter-
ests of the countries involved,”
demands sober examination, with
urgent steps to reduce the al-
ready smothering U.S. control of
