It blew up a revolutionary storm in every part of the world. Today, there is hardly a country without a Communist Party or a party sympathetic to socialist nations and the colonial empires of yesterday have almost disap- peared. “The three great revolutionary streams of our time, the world Socialist system, the international working class and the national liberation movements are determining the pace and direction of history. There may be tem- porary setbacks now and then, like Chile, but the recent events in Portugal and Greece bear witness to the overall thrust of historical development.” With these confident words as a foundation, Jack Phillips, provincial organizer of the Com- munist Party, went on to contrast the foreign policy of the Soviet Union with that of Canada and to compare stability and growth of the Soviet Union and other socialist nations with the instability, un- certainty and crisis of the capitalist world. The occasion was the banguet and dance to com- memorate the November 7, 1917 Russian Revolution, held in the Sunbury Hall, Delta and sponsored by the North and South Fraser WANTS HELP OF PT READERS H.K. Warren, Vancouver, writes thanking readers who responded to _ his appeal for supermarket tickets on ground beef. He says the picture becomes ‘‘grimmer and grimmer”’ as the tickets come in, and asks that PT readers continue to send them in. He writes: “Apparently the Food Prices Review Board accepted the prices only from the wholesale outlets in Vancouver and the only retail outlet they quote is Woodwards. ’ The FPRB quote Woodwards as low as 79c per pound, but in months of checking I have been unable to find any ground beef in Woodwards below 98c and the latest was $1.75 a pound. “Tickets I have received to the present indicate that the price ranges up as high as. $1.79 per pound . To complete my research I want tickets from Vancouver Island points, Prince Rupert, Dawson Creek and Prince George.”’ Price tickets should be sent to: H.K.

Phillips called for a-more in- dependent Canadian foreign policy “in the interest of world peace and in the interest of the Canadian people.” Drawing attention to the fact that the two strongest powers in the world are the Soviet Union and the U.S.A., Phillips drew a graphic picture of the economic and political crisis in U.S.A., the violence in the streets, the corruption in public life and the flourishing pornographic trade. “Ifyou contrast this decadence in the U.S.A. with the steadily rising prosperity in the Soviet Union, with the vastly superior quality of Soviet life, with the in- spiring public morality in the Soviet Union, you must come to the conclusion that socialism is the only answer to the fundamental problems that trouble us in the so- called western world.”’ Phillips closed his address by making a strong appeal to his listeners to join the Communist Party, with special reference to the younger people in the audience. ‘Join the party where the action is today, join the party of the future. Join with us and work for socialism, the greatest, the most humane society ever devised by man.”’ Soviet opera stars find warm Last Sunday in The Queen Elizabeth Theatre Canadians enjoyed a rare cultural event. According to the terms of the cultural exchange agreement between the federal government and the government of the USSR, two distinguished Soviet artists, coloratura soprano Yevhenia Mirosschichenko and baritone Dmytro Hnatiuk appeared in Vancouver as part of a Canada- wide concert tour that will ultimately take them to 16 Canadian centres. The first half of the program consisted of flawless rendering of classical arias including selections from Verdi, Delibes, Mozart, Donizetti and others. Both singers demonstrated their abundant skills combined with perfect modulation, phrasing and wide vocal range. To the delight of the audience which filled virtually every seat in the auditorium, |the second part of the program was made up of Ukrainian folk ‘songs and some contemporary’ selections, culminating with two beautiful folk duets that ended the concert. Throughout the entire concert, both artists — already renowned as stars of the Kiev opera — main- response tained a close contact with the audience which responded with warm applause and a final stan- ding ovation. It is fitting to remember that these two gifted singers are only part of the varied panorama of Soviet culture. Each year, 80,000 Soviet young people enter one of thousands of conservatories throughout the USSR. Both Miroschnichenko and Hnatiuk are products of that extensive cultural process, the former having risen to stardom as a singer from her previous position in a radio equipment assembly factory. She is living proof of the opportunities that socialism offers young people. Above all, the concert demon- strated that thestriving for detente and its expression through cultural exchange can be pleasurable in- deed. This kind of positive social and cultural contact between the people of Canada and the USSR is exactly what the world needs more of. The governments of the two countries should be congratulated for their initiative and should be encouraged to deepen and expand all forms of exchange and cooperation. - —Osmo Lahti MAC-PAP November 23, 1974 — Fisherman’‘s Hall : 7:30 p.m., at 130 E.
