mg week to support the LPP

Under Canadian control for the

that friendly letter

i Reason for the recent friendly
etter sent by H. R.. MacMillan to
Temier W. A. GC. Bennett was
Tevealed this week when the gov-
introduced its amend-
ments to the Assessment Equal-
zation Act in the legislature.
‘The act provides that there
Will be no change where a fixed
assessment below the actual

Value has already been agreed

Alberni operations, even though
the present plant is worth in the
neighborhood of $30,000,000 and
the company is planning a $30,-
000,000 expansion program.

No wonder H. R. MacMillan
looks upon Premier Bennett as
a bosom pal!

In 1933 MacMillan - Bloedel
made a net profit of $11,315,668
and in 1954 a net profit of $12,-

PEAGE CALL

Commonwealth heads
discuss H-bomb peril

“So long as nuclear weapons
exist, some crazy person ‘or. peo-
ple might use such weapons... .
We must prohibit the use of
these weapons. We must do-’so
in the interests of humanity.”

This was the observation made
by Marshal Gregori Zhukov, new
Soviet defense minister, in an ex-
clusive interview in Moscow this
week with U.S. publisher and
newspaperman William Randolph
Hearst, jr.

Zhukov quoted an old Russian
proverb: “A bad peace is better

than a good war.” He reiterated
the often-stated peace policy of
the Soviet Union and said: “It
is better that we think less about

war plans and more about avoid-

ing war.”

.From Vienna, where the bur-
eau of the World Council of
Peace met recently, came anoth-
er strong call: for “destruction
of all stocks of atomic weapons
wherever they may be and the
immediate stopping of their man-
ufacture.”

Declaring that “any govern-

ment that lets loose atomic war
will forfeit the trust of its peo-
ple and find itself condemned by
every people of the world,” the
World Council of Peace appealed
for a world-wide signature cam-
paign to stop the use of atomic

weapons, and announced that a
great world assembly of peace
forces would be held in Helsinki
on May 22 this year.
