Housing

Editor, P.A.:

Since the termination of the
war and the critical condition
created due to mass layoffs,
housing has been more or less
moved from the front pages of
the papers and relegated to a
position of obscurity behind the
elassified ads. Neither the ter-
mination of the war nor the

critical layoff situation, while.

important in themselves, jus-
tify the removal of emphasis
from this major point.

Considerable elation was evi-
denced by the sluggardly city
eouncil when it appeared that
the civic machine would miracu-
lously ease itself out of low gear
and get moving on the housing
question some two months ago.
Judging by the hysterical re-
ports in the press and the
promises of Cornett, Buscombe,
Jones, et al, houses would ap-
pear, full of gadgets, gardens
and returned servicemen like
mushrooms sprouting up over-
night, Vancouver was.on the
verge of harvesting a bumper
crop of low-cost housing, and
you could take the City Coun-
cil’s word for it. Not only that,
but they had a firm of entre-
preneurs who were willing to
sink money and American en-
terprise into the building of
hundreds, if not thousands, of
homes for Vancouver’s house
hungry citizens.

But as is the case with many
of the Council’s promises, they
gave every impression of be-
ing self-induced mirages, con-
jured up like ghostly shapes in
a fakir’s erystal ball, the result
of the type of self-hypnosis
that leads the City Council
to believe that they are actual-
ly going to do something about
housing. The highly-vaunted
Council scheme proved to be
another one of their long list
of broken promises, having less
body and substance than the
breath of spring.

The stark, cold, and definitely
not comforting fact remains
that Vancouver has not got
the housing, nor any inkling of
when such housing will be got.
The City Coucil are undoubted-
ly chuckling over the fact that
history has given them another

opportunity to conveniently for-
get their resposibilities.

Vancouver’s Nine Old Men
of the City Hall had better stop
awelling in their dream world
and do something about hous-
ing. The end of the war and
mass layoffs have not solved
the question of housing. The
need for housing is more acute,
if anything, than it was before.
Now is the time for action in
this question, and the people
are demanding something more
than promises from the City
Council.

No Credit

OCIAL Crediters have a program, a policy, a party line (insofar as
they can be called a party), and even the littlest shrimp amongst
them tries. to identify himself with it.

At a yrecent meeting of Town Meeting of the Air, one of the minutiae
from that small time group from the cesspool of reaction, a journalist
of the penny-a-line type, named Rose, got an emotional jag on at the
very suggestion that there might be some democracy in tthe Soviet
Union.

In protest against his lying insinuations of slave labor, concentra-

tion camps and secret police and his puerile outburst that ito show signs’

of friendship for the Soviet people is hypocrisy, a number of the audience
got up and left the meeting. In the boorish manner of his tribe, the
clownish interrupter shouted after them, ‘‘They’re yellow, not red;
they can’t take it.”

But was that anything to be surprized at? The man is a Social
Credit advocate. That is to say, he is linked with all the anlti-Semite,
anti-Labor, pro-fascist, semi-Nazi elements in Canada, from one end of
it to the other.

Here are some of them: Norman Jaques, M.P. for Wetaskiwin,
speaking in the House of Commons alt Ottawa, quoted with evident gusto
from the alleged professor Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom;” “. . . the im-
petus of the movement towards totalitarianism comes mainly from two
great vested interests, organized capital and organized labor. Probably
the greattest menace of all is the fact that the policies of these two most
powerful groups point in the same direction.” Jaques, by quoting fthese
words, makes them his own. .

Another political buddy of Rose is J. Ernest Gregoire, vice-president
of the Social Credit Association of Canada, proclaimed friend of all the
“corporatists” in Quebec, Chaloult, Hamel, Drouin, etic. During the
Quebec election, Gregoire fathered the following. statement at a politi-
eal rally: “I think of the men of the Bloc as friends; their leader, Laur-
endeau, is a gentleman and a well cultured man.” The “Bloc” is ‘the
Bloc Populaire, the Quebec fascists. And as for Laurendeav being a
gentleman, so was Hitler and Mussolini and this journalist Rose.

A tthird hook-up with Rose, is Solon Low, Social Credit Jew-baiter,

who draws the inspiration for his policies from Hitler. Speaking at

Vernon on Sept. 30 last, Low stated his whole policy in a few words,
thus: ‘‘We are proud that we are the only effective barrier to socialism
... We will not rest until it is dead and buried.”

Hitler put it in slightly different words but they mean the same
thing He wrote in Mein Kampf (or had someone else write for him),
“The question of the future of the German nation is the question of the
destruction of Socialism.”

What Hitler did to Germeny is nothing to what will happen to
Canada if her destiny is put into the hands of political porch-climbers
like Jaques, Gregoire, Solon Low and the journalist Rose.

Press Drivel!!!

ELL, here we are again, launched into the throes of another press
drive. ‘he slave-driver who is in charge of it must have learned
somehow that I have been having a couple of weeks’ “rest.” $100.00 in
donations and 50 subscriptions, she says with a bland countenance which
works up gradually into a glamorous, come-along, smile. That is our
share without any trimmings. ,

Last spring we were only asked to raise 30 subs without any cash.
Of course we sneered at that. It was almost beneath us. Soa we raised
the ante to 60 subs. and $100.00 in donations. We made that handy
and quite a little over in cash. So in this drive we are paying for spring
enthusiasm even before we start.

Well, there are special circumstances in this drive which should
inspire us to do. even better than we did last time. We are right in
the middle of an election campaign in which we must put out almost
every effort. That may mean a failure on the part of some of our
friends to do their best for the P.A. on the mistaken notion that the
election is the more important.

Important as the election is, we must not allow ourselves to fall
into such a false position in this drive. The press drive is actually
part of the election campaign. . Without the P.A. the necessary election
work would be increased manyfold. With an increased circulation of
the P.A. it will be lightened accordingly. This is the only possible cor-
rect way to look at the question. ;

I believe we can make the quota and increase it as we did in the
spring drive. Already we have made a start. Sergeant Jack Phillips,
whose contributions to our paper have been a source of interesit to most
of our readers has sent a ten dollar donation to our column from Hol-
land. With a five-spot from one of my oldest friends, we are starting out
with 15 per cent of our cash quota. ; : . :

I hope everyone who was on Ol’ Bill’s committee in the last drive,
and in all the other drives, will line up to help us this time. I am
not so well placed to make contact with possible sub-rustlers at this
time as before, so if you are one whom I might persuade if I met up
with you, drop in and see me at 209 Shelley Building and give me a
chance to convince you. If you don’t need convincing drop in and get a
sub.-book and donation card anyway If you are too far away for that
write to me for them. If you will undertake to get the subs. and do-
nations I will provide you with the equipment. ? ;

‘There is another way you can help this column to raise its quota
if you can’t sell subscriptions or solicit donations. "You might put on
a card party or other social event in your home and tturn in the receipts
—or, if you have some uneonsidered trifle for which you have no
further use, and nobody else has any use for either, it could be made into
a prize for a raffle. Cora Phillips bottle of rum brought in $49.00 in
the last drive See how easy it is?

T am sure many of our readers can think up evem better schemes
than that. I am pretty dumb at that kind of business: myself. aa

The main thing is to keep the paper going, growing and flourishing.
help it and it wil help us!
Mie Remember 50 subscriptions and $100 cash (or maybe $200.00 cash).
