ECM will harm forest industry says Mosher

There are 5,000 less men working in the woods now than in 1956, and this is due to the policy of “economic integration with the U.S.A.”, Mark Mosher charged at a public meeting held in the Eric Graf Hall in Port Al- berni recently.

Mosher, Communist Party candidate for Comox-Alberni, told the fifty people present that in 1935 there were about 25 big logging outfits in and around the riding, but, due to the foolishness of integration, this is no longer the case.

He warned that Canada should take a strong position in relation to the European Common Market as this coun- try now enjoys a 10% prefer- ential tariff on lumber to Great Britain and 15” on plywood.

“Under the ECM this would be wiped out,” he said.

He concluded by telling his audience:

“If you don’t like the arms race it would be a pretty good move to vote Communist. A good Communist vote would even do the New Democratic Party some good.”

KOOTENAY C.P. CLUBS WILL’ BACK HERRIDGE

At a meeting in Trail on May 17th the West Kootenay clubs of the Communist Party of Canada voted not to run a candidate in the June 18th election, but to support the NDP candidate, H. W. Her- ridge, for re-election.

While sharply aware of the fundamental differences be- tween the up-and-down soc- ialist character of the NDP and the consistent working class policies of the CP of Canada, it was agreed that H. W. Herridge had spoken up in Parliament for the gen-

eral interests of workers, farmers, professional people, and small business men, whose interests and demands are fought for by the Com- munist Party of Canada.

The Communist Party will issue publicity on matters confronting the West Kooten- ay residents in particular, and Canada generally, in an all- out effort to expose the cold- war, pro-U.S. parties; to stop the Columbia sell-out and to raise sharply the interests of Canada on peace, trade and full employment.

Your TAX BILL NOW is equal to RENT in 1936: This year they took a million off big business and! soaked you, the small homeowner, 12.7 per cent more. {In 1963 and 1964 even bigger. tax increases are forecast. WE SAY STOP! Put the tax load on those who can afford to pay. Tax big business and relieve the homeowner. We ask you to support our campaign for a $2000 basic tax exemption on homes. There is a proposal now before the Van- couver City Council calling for such an exemption. If passed it would cut your taxes by $45.70 (average) a year, Sign the form below and get your friends and neighbors to do the same. Send it to the City Clerk, City Hall, Vancouver.
