Following this wordy ‘billing and coo- ing” on how much “we have in com- mon” to assure a happy wedded future, the senator gets down to the nub of his new “Canerica,” the capital of his new “sovereign” nation. “High-grade iron ore is beginning to wear thin in the fabulous Mesabi range in Minnesota.” Then a gift from the gods St. Laurent’and Duplessis; a moun- tain of ore in the Ungava wilderness of Quebec and Labrador is “discovered” and the prospective bridegroom is blow- ing a pre-nuptial $400 million “to bring these gninerals to the furnaces of the United States.” What Canada gets out of this ore per ton would make: any bride blush at the senator’s love-making. Pitchblende? Ah, my chick, there you’ve got something—fit “to.match the far-off mines of the Congo and Czecho- slovakia.” Barges with the magic word “radium” bring “this mysterious sub- stance up the vast Mackenzie river sys- tem, destined for atomic energy plants in the U.S.” Pitchblende! What a gor- geous wedding ensemble, and all for the taking. And oil in the Pacific Northwest? “A $1 billion industry might be created by piping this fuel into the United States,” but the prospective bride is a bit tem- peramental at times; she doesn’t want to be accused of shipping her “vital substance abroad’ when it could be needed in Canada? Well, says the pros- pective “groom” giving her his best Hollywood dollar-clinch, let’s end this “abroad” -stuff and get hitched. There is no end to treasures in this prospective bride’s dowry chest. Mur- mering sweet nothings about tariffs and the like being \“‘un-natural,” and en- larging on what each of the parties to this proposed “union” have “to offer the other,” the senator spots another item in the dowry chest he would be able to grab off, were the wedding duly solemnized. Power, hydro-electric power! The aluminum octopus “plans to construct a $400 million power plant at Skagway, but ...a disturbing factor intrudes ... the lakes are in Canada while the power plant’ would be in Alaska” and the pros-: pective bride thus far has refused “to authorize diversion of the (her) water. Passionately. the groom implores and wheedles. “Of course, if union occurred, then the lakes and hydro-electric pen- stocks would be within the same sover- eignty,” but so far the lady is adamant. It is to be sincerely hoped that the vot- ing results of August 10 will make her more so. The senator winds up his wedding serenade with some small talk on a few of the things that might give rise to. domestic tiffs after the nuptial knot has been formally tied. How would the Southern Dixiecrats like the _ “voting privileges” of the bride’s Indian and Eskimo people? Would we sing God Save the Queen or the Star Spangled - Banner? Would the new capital of “Canerica” be in Ottawa, Washington—- ‘“ ss or Denver, and would the new “sover eign” people like to be called “Caneri- cans,” or just plain Americans? ans Compared with the main items lis in this senator’s “Wedding With Can- ada” proposals, these are trifling mat- ters. The key thing to note is that in return for the dubious gift of Yankee “know-how,” Canada as a prospective “bride” for Yankee imperialism will be- come a permanent object of ‘ sovereign rape.

Put Canada First - Vote LPP ieee from the Atlantic to the Pacific will go to the polls Monday, August 10, to choose a government which will have the great task of guiding Canada’s destiny in the crucial period ahead. Under the St. Laurent government, supported by the Tory, Social Credit and CCF parliamentary blocs, the peace and wellbeing of Canada have been bartered for U.S. dollars and a subordinate partnership in the aggressive war adventures of the evil men of Wall Street. The gravity of the issues involved in this federal election—issues which have been deliberately obscured by the main contending parties on the hustings—cannot be over-emphasized. The choice to be made on August 10 is therefore a momentous one for Canadians. In this election campaign only the Labor-Progressive party and its standard-bearers raise the demand to Put Canada First, by bringing the real ‘issues. before the people: the need of a new national policy for Canada which will restore our country to a status of peace and friend- ship with all nations; the economic and social protection of our workers and farmers, of our homes and families, and the preservation and ex- tension of Canadian democracy. In this, the program of the Labor- Progressive party corresponds to the needs and hopes of the Canadian people. - Two tasks face all patriotic and peace-loving Canadians on Aug- ust 10. One is to roll up a record vote so that in one mighty demon- stration from coast’ to coast, Canadians will vote to Put Canada. First. ‘The other is to Vote Labor Progressive as an added assurance that the new parliament will Put Canada First. On Monday mark your ba gressive party. Old Arsenic 6 A TEACHER told me,” says Lydia Arsens, Social Credit MLA-elect for Victoria, “that communism is being taught in B.C. schools and the UBC.” Another Social Crediter, J. Allan Reid, MLA-elect for Salmon Arm, said much the same thing not so long ago. “Somebody told me”—and the witch- hunt is on. Such irresponsible attacks by men and women elected to responsible public office seem to be part and parcel of Social Credit “philosophy.” Those mak- ing them require no foundation in fact or truth. That they may be heaping an unfounded slander on the teaching or other professions does not seem to con- cern them. But it does concern the people. Probe Prince OME of the underlying causes of the pet violent clashes between Prince Rupert citizens and the RCMP are be- ginning to emerge. The first reports on these “riots,” in which teargas and clubs were freely used by the RCMP, were attributed by the daily press to the un- . ruly behavior of “drunken Indians.” That story being obviously threadbare, it has sekeret eat revised by Mayor Har- old Whalen to include “fishermen, min- ers, and tough guys coming in here Saturday night . . . who have to be handled firmly or they get out of hand. A leading Prince Rupert magistrate has publicly expressed the opinion that - “eitizens have the right not to be push- llot with an X—for the Pe Ree to and Lydia Karl Marx understood the political tactic well, even when he wrote the deathless Communist Manifesto away back in 1848. “Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as ‘communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of Communism, against the more ad- vanced -opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries? The smears of the McCarthyites are not new, but the passing years have shown the danger they pose to our lib- erties and rights. Hence the common alarm in Canada when otherwise bank- rupt politicians resort to their use. Rupert RCMP ed around without just cause.” Numer- ous letters and protests against the tac- tics of the Prince Rupert RCMP are already on hand from responsible citi- zens, charging the RCMP with “Gesta- lt behavior in the discharge of their _duties. Admission by the Mayor that “we may have had one or two men like that on the force here sometime ago but not now” is sufficient in itself to call for a full-scale investigation into RCMP ad- ministration in Prince Rupert. A thorough investigation into the ‘Prince Rupert “riots” should be ordered ‘by the attorney-general’s department without delay. ‘ PACIFIC TRIBUNE — AUGUST 7, 1953 — PAGE 5 -
