Because of the government's policy of tying Canada to Wall Street's shaky economy, the slump in the U.S. is bringing havoc and distress to our people. 4 The scandal around the all-Cqnadian St. rence Deep Seaway is the latest example of - this treachery. The govern- ment has stalled on this nation-building project for years -- and now U.S. war- minded monopolies are acting to turn the St. Lawrence River, Canada's trade life- line, into another Panama Canal. The U.S. Army Command arrogantly declares: "Canada 'must not be permitted to com- plete the Seaway." The Wiley Bill now before U.S. Congress aims to establish U.S. control of the Seaway for war pur- poses -- to carry Canadian iron ore to U.S. steel mills to build armaments to terrorize the people of the world. This is how Wall Street turns Canada into a U.S. colony for its war purposes and pre- vents the development of Canadian heavy industry.
