New Party Farm Program

The New Party has now issued its final draft program for presentation to the found- ing convention in Ottawa July 31st. It includes a section on agriculture entitled “New Hope For The Farmer.”

How well does this farm] program meet the needs of our farmers? How well does it deal with such key issues as guar- anteed prices, stable markets at home and abroad, the dump- ing of U.S. farm produce into Canada and the whole prob- lem of the cost-price squeeze resulting from increasing U.S. monopoly_ control over what the farmer buys and sells?

A section of the program states:

“The New Party will free

the cost price squeeze. It ‘will lower farm production costs by ending monopoly control over farm machinery, fertil- izers, chemical and other sup-

NEW YORK—tThe national executive of the U.S. Commu-

plies. Co-operatives will be encouraged and assisted to meet needs in these fields and where necessary public owner- ship will be developed.”

The program states further that:

“A New Party government will institute a parity price policy to provide levels of farm income consistent with the rest of the economy. It will do this through a system of guaran- teed prices, supplemented by deficiency and other compen- satory payments where neces- sary. Until greater stability of prices and income have been achieved, floor prices will be established as required.”

So far so good. But what about the all-important ques- tion of U.S. farm produce being dumped into B.C. and other parts of Canada thus forcing our own farmers out of production? What does the New Party propose to do about U.S. ownership and control of the implement, chemical and fertilizer firms, and of the other corporations which buy and retail what the farmer has to sell? On this question of U.S. control the farm program is strangely silent. Why?

This will be dealt with in this column next week.

nist Party has issued a state- ment answering the charges of Attorney-General Kennedy in connection with the recent Supreme Court decisions in effect outlawing the Party.

“Under the guise of anti- Communism,” the statement says, “and the hoary ‘foreign agents’ canard, the Attorney- General tries to conceal the fact that the enforcement of this law means the liquidation of the Bill of Rights and the attempted suppression of every movement in this country for peace, social progress and democracy.

“As Justice Black pointed out in his dissenting judg- ment, it is a fateful day in American history when this country outlaws a political party; and this is what the McCarran Act proposes.

been ‘foreign agents’ and we |f

will not embrace a lie and assert that we have been, even for the Department of Justice, by registering under the Mc- Carran Act.

The executive of the Com- munist Party goes on to say: “The haste with which At- torney-General Kennedy vows to move on the McCarran Act, only confirms the double stan-

dard of justice which exists in

our country.

“It is one law for the big monopolies and the Dixiecrats, and another for the working class, the Negro people, and the fighters for peace and pro- gress.

“But America is not only a

land of powerful, untouchable

monopolies and Dixiecrats, it is also the land of Jefferson, Painé, Lincoln, Frederick

Douglass and Franklit 7 Roosevelt. in
