Ask rescinding

of PUC decision

“We place the responsibility for the Public Utilities Com- mission’s decision granting the B.C. Electric application to

serve the Vancouver area with

natural gas squarely-upon your

government,” the LPP ‘provincial executive declared this week

in a letter addressed to Premier

Raw material control asked

MONTREAL Demand that the convention of the Canadian and Catholic Con- federation of Labor, which meets in Quebec City, September 11-18, eall on the Quebec government to block export of raw materials to “foreign capitalists” is voiced in a resolution endorsed by the CCCL Montreal Central Council.

Earlier, Gerard Picard, CCCL president, was reported as say- ing that “the Eastern Town- ships region in Quebec would be

transformed if, in the towns of Sherbrooke, Magog, Granby Drummondville, St. Hyacinth, in- dustries had been built to make finished goods out of the raw asbestos mined in the towns of Asbestos and Thetford Mines.

“So, when we could use our raw asbestos to manufacture finished goods at home, we let this raw material be exportedsto the United States, where it is processed and re-sold to us at a high price.”

Gist of the Montreal Central Council’s resolution was reported in Le Travail, organ of the Cath- olic Syndicates, as follows:

“Considering that our natural re- sources are benefitting mainly the foreign capitalists who come into our land to get the raw materials in order to ship them out of the country, the delegates from the Central Council want the CCCL to demand of the provincial govern- ment that it impose a strict con- trol over the companies that ex- ploit our natural resources.”

W.A.C. Bennett. “This decis- ion is further convincing evidence of government policy.” The letter called on the government to re- scind the PUC. decision.

“That policy was demonstrated in a most blatant manner recently when your cabinet forced with- drawal of the publicly-owned B.C. Power Commission from the Pow- ell River district at the behest of the B.C. Electric. :

“That act endangered the fruits of ten years of public power in British Columbia; ten years which have witnessed the superiority of public over private power in terms of service, rates, and finances to the provincial treasury and muni- cipalities. :

“We demand an end to the policy

| of undermining the publicly-owned

B.C. Power Commission. We want the people of British Columbia to enjoy the benefits of cheap natural gas, which cannot be realized un- der B.C. Electric control.

“We call upon your cabinet to rescind the PUC decision, and to bring Vancouver, the Fraser Val- ley and all other feasible areas under the jurisdiction of the B.C. Power Commission.” —

“If a worker needs any medical attention, travel expenses and wages are paid for the time spent at one of the many sanatoria or rest homes.”

Mrs. Morgan cited another ex- ample of the attention to -health.

“In the knitting mill we went through in Moscow the amount of dust in the air is measured by the laboratory right in the factory. An extensive program of sanitary edu- cation is carried on by use of films, lectures and literature.”

She said that while in the So- viet Union had a chance to ob- }serve many aspects of Soviet liv- ing and was amazed to find in the

Soviet life reflects concern for individual

“I was most impressed with the concern for the individual that is shown in every phase of life,” Mrs. Mona Morgan, who recently re- turned from a visit to the Soviet Union, told guests at three house gatherings she attended last weekend. “Emphasis is placed on health. All hospital and medical care is free and much attention is given to prevention of sickness as well as cure. Twenty-five hundred people live on the collective farm we visited outside Kiev and the hospital

short space of 10 years the Soviet people have completely rebuilt their country after its terrible war devastation. “I had to remind my- self that more than 20 million So- viet people died, 68 cities were de- molished and scores of collective farms destroyed,” she said.

“The Soviet people have their plans for their future well mapped out and made it abundantly clear to us that peace is essential to theirs fulfilment.”

Mrs. Morgan spoke at two gath- erings in Burnaby and one in Lang- ley at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gabrielson.
