NANAIMO, B.C.

crisis of national policy. Shall we
continue to militarize or shall we
industrialize?”

This was the question raised by
Ernie Knott, LPP candidate for
Nanaimo, when he spoke to a

meeting in Extention last week.

Reduction of arms spending in
Canada would make money avail-
able for development of industry
such as the long-promised steel
mill on Vancouver Island, said
Knott. It would make money avail-
able for repair and expansion of
needed community services.

“We still have not got a Greater
Nanaimo Water -Board. The price
of the new water systems—$3,000,-
000—is less than the price of one
medium bomber. I think we can do

increases. Its policies are shaped
to serve the interests of its Am-
erican masters, not Canadian

consumers.”
