Common Market ‘bonus’ to destroy food — up prices

The ‘Common Market’ coun- tries of France and Belgium are currently destroying hundreds of tons of fruit and vegetables, French farmers are estimated to have destroyed 1,000 tons of Grade A tomatoes, while in both countries crops are being plow- ed under or stacked in huge compost piles. This move is aim- ed at “stabilizing” prices rather than selling these foods off cheaply,

It is reported that the French and Belgium farmers receive a “destruction bonus”, paid out of ‘Common Market’ funds to keep consumer prices up,

In West Germany and other

European countries there have _

been massive protests by con- sumer bodies, taxpayers, and in many instances political leaders,

Many British labor leaders who strongly oppose Harold Wilson’s desperate efforts to take Britain into the ‘Common Market? are now more opposed than ever since this food destruction became

public.

‘Harsh winter’ warning for British people

The British Communist Party last week warned that “the harsh- est winter for years threatens the working people,” as unemploy- ment grew sharply, Itis estimated that some 7,500,000 people live in poverty, three million of them children,

In a statement, the CP Political Committee said that after 12 months of frozen wages, higher prices and growing unemployment as a result of Wilson’s July 1966 measures, the government’s bankrupt policies are becoming evident to the people,

The statement said that far from solving any problems, these policies had been the main factor in bringing about the present grim situation,

The British CP calls for re- placement of the incomes policy by new policies of higher wages, pensions and benefits and for cuts in the arms budget and ex- panded trade with socialist coun- tries. It urges the government to “step by step” take over the big monopolies,

“Why is the country faced with this critical situation? Because the government has refused to tackle the basic causes of the economic crisis,” says the statement,

“It has carried on where the Tories left off, determined to maintain Britain’s role as an imperialist power, and the City of London as a world financial centre,

Du Bois club leader killed in Texas

George Vizard, 23-year-old Texas DuBois Club leader, was shot and killed Sunday morning, July 23, Vizard was at work in the ice locker of a grocery store when he was murdered by several shots in the back,

Vizard had at one time been a full-time worker for the Students for a Democratic Society with whom he continued to maintain close ties.

Money in the store’s cash reg- ister was untouched, Customers discovered the body.

Peace activists in the area

have charged a political assasin- ation, Vizard was one of the best-

| known figures of the -Left in

Texas, as a fighter for peace in Vietnam, for Negro rights, and

for labor’s efforts to organize farm workers in the Rio Grande Valley,

He was recently arrested for his participation in peace activ- ities, and was beaten by the Austin police,

A recent state-wide meeting of the DuBois clubs, organized by Vizard, had protested Houston police action against Negro stu- dents at Texas Southern Uni- versity, and the attacks of the Texas Rangers onthe farm strik- ers.

Local sources believe threats against Vizard had their origins in the Texas Department of Pub- lic Safety, The Minutemen in the Austin area have become ag- gressive recently.
