Bengough Says Era Of Plenty Possible OTTAWA.—“Labor’s biggest job is to get people thinking “in terms of plenty. The war has taught us that we can pro- duce anything we need in superabundance,” declared Percy R. Bengough, “In four years of war we have, in Canada, expanded our produc- tive capacity to an extent greater than we would have done in 25 normal years. Why, in view of that, were hundreds of thousands in want 10 years ago,” Bengough Said. “The masses of the people do not want to go back to fear and want; the consciousness of the workers generally has been awakened.” Bengough reported conversa- Rehabilitation Symposium Topic The Women’s Council of the Labor-Progressive Party will sponsor a symposium to discuss proposals for rehabilitation of returned men and women on Sunday, June 11, at 8 p.m. in Boilermakers Hall. 7 “Speakers will be Tom Barnard, past provincial president of the Canadian Legion; P. A. Lewis, president, provincial command of Army and Navy Veterans in Canada, Mrs. Kayla Culhane, member of the Women’s Coun- ceil, Charles Stewart, business agent of the Street Railway- men’s Union, and Jack Hender- son, newly elected provincial president of the Canadian Legion.

I told the veterans they were asking for peanuts. In ask- ing that returned men get job preference they were thinking in terms of old-fashioned scarcity instead’ of the possibility- of jobs for all.” Controls will have to stay, be- lieves Bengough, because with 2,000,000 new jobs to be found in Canada for returned men and women and displaced war work- ers, direction will be needed. “I believe in large scale pub- lic works. There is no excuse in Canada, with the amount of ma- terials we have, the skilled and unskilled labor, why we should go without hospitals, schools and sewers. We can Satisfy all our needs and have full employment. There is no limit to the good life we can have if we will only give up our ideas of curtail- ment,” he said. = Union House J. Mirras, Mgr.

DAN CING Carle Hodson’s Orchestra Phone PAc. 4835 for Rentals in Eastern Photographed by 24 camera- men who advanced with shock troops in the great offensive that broke the Nazi grip on Russia, the film offers shocking, graphic evidence of Nazi atrocities. Alexander Dovyzhenko, famous Soviet director, conceived the plan for the making of Ukraine in Flames, an official record of the great offensive that drove - the vaunted Wermacht out of the Ukraine, but felt his film could not tell the whole story of Nazi crimes and the Red Army’s vengeance unless it in- cluded enemy material, and so captured Nazi film is carefully inserted in this great document- ary picture. Among the unprecedented Scenes shown in the film is the exhumation of the bodies of 14,000 murdered civilians and Red Army prisoners. in the Babi Yar Ravine on the outskirts of Kharkov.
