But stapled inside this cover is an- other pamphiet entitled, “How to Liquidate the Farmer.” The latter pamphlet is a publication of the Forward Publishing Gom- pany. It is a complete misrep- resentation of what the LPP or any other progressives have ever said on farm questions and in essence tries to persuade the farmer that his chief enemy is the urban industrial worker. Alberta LPP Leader James MacPherson deneunced the for- gery as a “clear attempt to give the impression that my party is for the ‘liquidation of the farmers.’ ” ; The © Forward Publishing Company is as fraudulent as the Wainwright forgery which bears its name. Its existence first became known last year when it was discovered that vicious little pamphlets bearing its imprint were being mailed out to edi- tors, clergymen, public figures and private individuals across the country. with the sugges- tion that the “message” of the pamphiets be passed on. The “message” was anti-labor, with the strong flavor of a decade lone gone by. President and treasurer of the company is Morley Smith, KC.

Three prizes o£ $250, $150, and $100 have been donated by trade unions for the three most outstanding works shown, and negotiations are under way to secure special awards from unions for the best work depict- ing their respective industries.

Buscombe Would Leave Admission of his failure to grapple with the important problem came when Bus- combe was ruled out of order at a Town Planning _ Commission meeting, where ne had tried to- defend himself against accusations from mem- bers of the commission who scored the council’s “inadequate efforts.” One statement made by Bus- eombe, who shied away from discussion of the housing for veterans. plan until public pres- sure forced the matter into the open clearly revealed the coun- cil’s stand on the housing crisis: “We have nothing to do at the present time with civilians who “drift in here looking for places to live, or with setting up a sort of Santa Claus fund from which we don’t get anything back.” Prot. EF; E. Buck, member of the commission, asked Buscombe a straight question: What has the postwar housing gorge done ? Buscombe answered that it was a “postwar problem, and our committee has not met re- cently.” While Buscombe uses the present crisis as an excuse for failure to consider postwar problems, he has no plausible excuse for his attitude towards the housing: for veterans plan itself. Although veteran’s fami- lies remain homeless, making daily rounds of the rooming- houses, the Powell Street slums, the Bus- we (pF Housing Registry, “Housing Until After War combe hedges by bargaining with the federal government for more profit in the scheme for the city sinking fund. The fact that, according to his figures, the government will make a profit of $104 on the 250 city lots, the federal government proposes to buy for erection of veterans’ houses even if it pays , the city $540 for each jot, Bus- combe sees as a big stumbling block in the way of action. Bus- combe arrived at his estimates by carefully figuring the rents which would be paid by tenants at the end of 12 years. Mayor J. W. Cornett, how- ever, felt that “surely the- houses would be worth some- thing to the city ai the end of the 12 years—surely every- thing could not be lost!” It has also been pointed out that value of the lots stands at only $350 to $400. to the government would be $5.180. At the end of twelve years the city would be able to buy back the houses at a total cost of $1,000. Members of Vancouver Re- habilitation Council. meeting with Buscombe and other alder- men, pointed out that a lot with a house on it Cannot possibly be worth less to the city than a vacant lot. “he city would actually be creating potential assets.” clared Hon.
