All ther countries, $7.00 one yeat surpluses of others will be sharply eroded or become de- ficits. But the U.S. trade deficit (running at an annual rate of $4 billion in the second quarter) is far less important than the out- flow of U.S. capital, mostly cor- porate ($16 billion at annual rates in the same quarter) and there is no attempt to curtail that hemorrhage. The outlook, then, is for more U.S. ownership abroad and an extension of the U.S. economic hegemony. This prospect is one that holds special perils for Canada. It suggests, quite clearly, that our economic role in U.S. eyes is that of hewer of wood and drawer of gas, if not water as well, The whole thrust of cur- rent U.S. policy is to pull manu- facturing with the jobs that ac- company it back into the U.S. heartland — and auto produc- tion pacts be damned. . The real assault on Canadian independence and economic via- bility, therefore, is only just be- ginning. In these circumstances, it would be exceedingly unwise if (1) our government rushed too many offerings to the bar- gaining counter, OF (2) failed to make jobs a quid pro quo of sales of resources, OF (3) ne- glected to get our own econom- ic machine running as smooth- ly and strongly as possible.

The call of the Ontario Committee of the Communist Party, led by William Stewart, in the momentous election that culminates Oct. 21 is to unite at the polls to smash the facade of Tory gov- ernment behind which big corporations and international monopolies have rul- ed Canada’s key industrial province for 28 years. : Five Communist candidates, seeking election to the Legislature, are leading their party’s campaign for unity. In those crucial constituencies — cru- cial because election of Communists to Queen’s Park will mean a great victory for the cause of uniting the labor and democratic forces of Ontario — and in all the other Ontario constituencies where their program is being widely distributed, the Ontario Communists’ eall is: Unite at the polls to defeat the Tories and to elect New Democratic Party and Communist members to the Legislature! With plant closures and unemploy- ment rampant as monopoly unloads its economic crisis on the backs of workers and farmers, more and more Ontario people are seeing that the defeat of the Tories will, as the Communists are say- ing, “make it possible to win jobs, inde- pendence, democracy, and a peaceful and socialist future.” - CIA—go home! The United States Central Intelli- gence Agency — on the very day the Trudeau government imposed the War Measures Act for the first time in peacetime — issued an urgent warning to its agents “to temporarily break con- tacts with the FLQ” in Quebec. Thé reason? According to the’ Octo- ber 16, 1970 top secret document, “the Canadian government’s measures might have undesirable consequences.” First — and last — reports from Ot- tawa were of “enormous interest” in the damning document, made public less than a fortnight ago. Since then, silence. Not a murmur from the government, and from Parlia- ment not a syllable of enquiry, let alone of protest. Why? When the CIA broke contact with the FLQ it was, obviously, because CIA agents were active in the terrorist group, using it as a cover to weaken Canada. This fact alone should have been enough to move the Trudeau govern- ment to protest at once to Washington, with the complete support of all mem- bers of Parliament. Both the government and parlia- ment, however, know this is only part of the full revelations in the secret memo. For the CIA directive to its agents was that they “temporarily break contacts” with the FLQ. A year has passed. Now with USS. imperialism’s wide-open economic as- sault on Canada, there can be no doubt the CIA has restored the “temporary” break with the FLQ terrorists and is continuing its underground attempts to. cripple the unity of the working people of our country, the unity that is deci- - sive in the struggle to save Canada’s independence. The Trudeau government and Parlia- ment must no longer remain silent. Puppet president U.S. imperialism has again shown there are no limits to its hideous hy- pocrisy in South Vietnam. Its puppet president Thieu, whose political life would end the minute the U.S. removes the props it uses to sup- port the whole putrefying Saigon re- gime, has been “re-elected.” With 91.590 of a police-controlled ballot. And now Nixon’s men in South Viet- nam mockingly posture in “democra- tic” protest that they don’t think Thieu really got 91.590!° Re-Action Canada The Crystal Ballroom charade of the Action Canada founding convention, so patently and expensively rigged by Paul Hellyer, was such a resounding bust that one might think this reac- tionary political group died at birth. It may have. At least, in the original form in which the millionaire former Liberal cabinet minister cast it, Action Canada went pfft! when a couple of hundred people lost themselves in the expanses of the Toronto hotel ballroom that Hellyer had hired for the show. The reactionary policies he preaches, however, did not disappear when the convention chandeliers dimmed. Wage controls, legislation to ban strikes — “nearly everyone, myself included, is sick of strikes” — the whole package of monopoly’s most reactionary anti- labor measures is dished out by Hellyer in the name of opposing monopoly. And what does Hellyer mean by “monop- oly”? Why, the trade unions and all the trade union rights the workers have won in long struggle! This rank political opportunist is frantically trying to work simultaneous deals between his gasping Action Can- ada and the Conservative and Social Credit parties. The Tory Globe and Mail invites Hel- lyer as an individual to stop flailing his lifeless political movement around Con- servative heads and to join that party, as “his natural home.” To the Social Credit bigwigs who at- tended the Action Canada wake, Hel- - lyer declared he is “disturbed” that Ed- mund Burke Society members are run- ning under the Socred label in the On- tario elections. His disturbance is superficial, for appearance only in the glare of convention publicity. The fascist-like Edmund Burke Socie- ty holds the same views Hellyer does about trade unions, about wage freezes and no-strike laws. Only they spew the whole liturgy of hate. “Whites unite” is the racist slogan they’ve painted just a few steps away from their Toronto anti-labor, anti-peace, anti-communist headquarters. And there, as large as life on the door, is Real Caouette’s pic- ture, flanked by those of the EBS-Social Credit candidates. _No. The reactionary policies of Ac- tion Canada aren’t dead, however life- less its founding convention. . .
