Education, too often grieviously inadequate among Communist groups, By VIVA FLOOD has become the order of the day in North Vancouver. Besides the educational periods of the regular branch meetings (and they actually have those), the LPP branch months conducted a Marxist study class. The group, a _month, under the enlightening guidance of Charlie Marx’s ‘Value, Price and Profit” is the work now under discus- Sion. In conjunction with theor- etical study, the members are at- tempting to answer for them- selves practical, everyday ques- tios that arise out of current events by applying Marxist analy- sis. Thus, questions are handed out, and the comrades present their answers at the next meeting, on the basis of whatever facts they have been able to dig up. One such question recently dealt with was: What, if not the strike, is the cause. of the lumber shortage? (People tend to forget that lum- ber was hard to get before there was a Strike.) B-C’s ‘annual lumber produc- tion averages 3 billion board feet. By law the export of lumber out is limited to 65 per- cent. We are committed by treaty to send 50 percent of it to the United Kingdom. In 1945 the actual proportion of 3B.C-produc- €d lumber sold in Canada was 43 percent. Of this 55 percent was sold in Wancouver and the Lower Mainland.

If you think a moment you will remember that 50,000 houses is the number the IPP petitioned the government not so long ago to build over all Canada in a year, There were some people, too, who regarded this a fantas- tic demand. Obviously, 50,000 houses were not built in Vancou- ver and Lower Mainland last year, Yet, the books show that that -we did have sufficient him- ber. What happened to it?
