what is Communism

There tx a great preponderance of public opinion In Canada in
favor of some further actlon by the Kovernment authorition nina

The real difficulty ds that this ly not all that there Is to Communism,
Provided a Communist docs not go to tho point of announcing that

‘The man who preaches thesc {deas may say that he 1s a Conserva-
tive, or Literal, or a Scelalist, but he Is preaching Communist doc-
trine, He holds much of the Communlst faith—even if he docs not go
to the point of announcing that he would fight for Russla against
Canada.

Tt Is very dificult to see how the law which Mr, Drow has been
suggesting, to make Communism illegal, would be enforced in Canada.
‘There should be some law In Canada, rigidly enforced, to put in jail
those who openly attack thoi own country on behalf of another nation,
which la at present coming close to threatening war. The point 1s,
however, that it {x not going to be possible to catch them as Com-
munlats. They will have to be caught as traitors.

only a new twist

According to a recent Gallup poll, Canadians are now over 90
per cent In favor of baby bonuses.

That {« not surprising.

Most Canadians have been in favor of a system of baby bonuses
since the inception of federal income taxes.

‘And just that long too have Canadians had baby bonuses. The
Principle has long been accepted that the more numerous a taxpayer’
dependents, the less tax he should pay to government.

All our current federal government did was turn an “exemption”
into a “bonus.” It looked politically much better that way.

‘Now each month the mother of each family gets her cheque from
Ottawa. To provide money enough to cash that cheque each person,
by weekly or quarterly deductions, and through increased sales taxes
4nd higher costs of foods and services, pays more money to Ottawa,
‘We are all part now of one bix family working for father at the capital
‘and he paya out the wages.

‘There 1m some merit in the’ system,

‘Thers fs also much danger.

‘We were listening the other day to a Pole, who Is now a Canadian
millionaire, relate how he got his start in business when he first came
to this country.

He asked « bank manager for a loan of six hundred dollars. Asked
‘What security he could offer, he replied, “I have a wife and four
children."

Tneldentally, he got the loan, but it was not on tho strength of
his four children. In those days they did not represent $240 por year In
baby bonusoa® Thoy were meroly an indication of stability and a need
to work hard.

‘We must always remember that our governments do not mike for
Us a single doliar. All thoy do Ia redistribute the wealth wo, as ind!-
viduals, ereate through our own labor.

Baby bonuses, unemployment Insurance, old age pensions, and other
examples of government pateralism are made possible only through a

One of the toples of the day scoms to be, “it’s too bad it {s not
election time,’ because the campalgners would hositate to usc our
so-called roads; to make personal calla (to klss the babies, as in the
good old days) would be almost impossible. Then If they had to

Yost, as other folks arc these days, no detour signs.

. It is amazing the number of cars up and down Kerfoot Road,
who have no Idex which way to go, to get in and out of White Rock.
Surely signs could be posted to let them know which strects arc
open. It is certainly keeping the neighbora busy directing traffic.

You should hear the naughty words spoken by the visitors

The water mecting: some of the reddest of faces were acon
there. It Is a vital subject as was proven by the very large audience
and they volerd their feelings freely. One thing about political life,
it Is never dull, again it proved that you can fool some of the people
some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of tho time.
P.TB, proved that.

‘The White Rock Players are so pleased with the attendance of
thelr offering of “Arsene and Old Lace,” the customers have been
more than pleased, Everyone who has attended the show are urging
thelr friends and neighbors not to miss it. Haye you been to seo it?

Some folks are complaining about tho litter strewn around the
park at the station, there Is no need of it as there are containers
there for all refuse.

Folks aro still hunting around for the Bus Depot. No signs.

HELLO BABY

The Editor,
Semiahmoo Sun.

Dear Sir:

An T think of the present status
of this district In the Surrey Mani
clipality which we call White Rock.
T wonder how we, an Ita resldents,
can be satisfied with just being =
hamlet, considering {t {s a com-
munity of about 8,000 people, with
some fine buildings, and new gov-
ernment ono to house an up-to-
date Post Office, rood hotels, bowl
ing alley, thentre, and dance hall,
not forgetting the very fine stores,
and churches, etc.

When one considers all this, they
snust come to the conclusion that
we are still In baby clothes, re-
garding our status in the Muniel-
pality, we surely missed the bus
when we voted against Incorpora-
tlon In the Inst plebiscite taken
about two years ago.

Now would be the time to start
proparing for another, so tet us get:
all the facts pro and con and ict
our nge when the chance: com:
again, as it surely must.
