WOMAN‘S RIGHT 1O BE ADMIRED Cttawa. Feb. 8â€"John A. Marsh (Cons. Hamilton West) charged toâ€" night the Government was following a "vicious and dangerous policy" by perâ€" mitting the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to compete with private radio stations. ' Refers to C.B.C. Plan The Government had taken a rightâ€" aboutâ€"face with regard to radio policy, he claimed. Until recently it had been the practice of the Radio Corporation to bar any Canadian station from imâ€" porting American programs. Now the corporation not only imported United States programs, tiut gave them lowâ€" cost concession and made up the deficit from the public funds and by increasing radio licenses 50 cents. Private Stations Handicapped He listed four features of the C.B. C‘s. policy which were "detrimental" to the radio industry and unpopular with the Canadian people. They were: 1. "‘The C.B. C. imports foreign broadâ€" casts tqr‘,its own network, which priviâ€" lege had long been denied the private stations." 2. "The C.BC. establishes powerful broadcast stations and will not permit the private stations to increase its M em ber for Hamilton Secorns Present Procedure ©@ as "Vicious" Policy Te c iz nc : 4 -.â€"-â€".â€"â€"â€" ECCE hag nc is ons C rates for FIRE INSURANCE Sickness, Accident, Automobile and Life Insurance Mortgages Arranged ‘ "Fruitâ€"aâ€"tives" fruit liver tablets will To Have Charmâ€"Vitali A Good Figure _ SECURITY â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" SERVICE 21 Pine Street N.

Why should the Canadian Broadcastâ€" ing Corporation, protected by Governâ€" ment license and supported by public funds, go into the radio business and comp:te with privately owned radio stations who pioneered the cause of radio in Canada?" Mr. Marsh termed the present Govâ€" ernment "as the greatest tax collector" in the history of Federal Governments. He was not impressed he said, with the statements in the Speech from the Throne which spoke of economic reâ€" covery. J. 0. Tardif, Clerk of Court, Elected Mayor of Rouyn (Rouynâ€"Noranda Press) Perhaps not in the town‘s history has there been greater interest in a municiâ€" pal ccntest in Rouyn than in that which culminated on Tuesday evenirg in a remarkable vic:ory for J.

' Pictures on Figured Paper.â€"It‘s perâ€" fectly good to use pictures on figured paper, but observe a few precautions. A lot of litile pictures on a large patâ€" terned paper don‘t work. If you want to use small or delicate pictures on figured or colourful walis, have wide mats. A large portrait with a dark egrcund can hold its own on a figured paper without a mat. Sometimes though, mirrors are better on large patterns than pictures.

(From Rouynâ€"Noranda Press) "Production" of gold in Russia has come partially from the meilting of gold coin and jewellery, accoring to Eugene Lyons whose book "Assignment in Utoâ€" pia‘" tells of his experiences there as chief correspondent for the Tnited Press. How much precious metal was recovered through "gold mining" in torture chambers, the world will proâ€" bably never â€" know that but, according to Mr. i.yons, the amount must have been tremendous. The government needed. "valuta‘"â€" valuables that â€"could be exchanged in world markets or machinery and supâ€" plies. Open m:thods of searching for concealed jewels or coin were used to "retax‘" people on their past earnings. But, says the United Press writer: "Beyond them, talked of in whispers, was the organized extortion by the special ‘gold mining‘ department of the GPU. I approach the subject fearâ€" fully, because the hurt of it is still fresh ard raw cn my mind, and because I realize that the reader will find it hard to believe, for no other episode in the entire history of the revolution has been so successfully hidden from the world. Human Ore ~ "The human ore for GP.U. smelting was gathered from all classesâ€"from servant girls with a single gold piece to former millionaires with caches of jewelsâ€"and, above all, Russians who hnad beeif receiving remittances from relatives abroad. The extortions went under the euphonism of mobilization of hidden valuta resources‘ and were an unwrittin adjunct of the Five Year Plan. Like any other branch of the economic apparatus, the GPU had its ‘control figures‘; a rig‘id commitment to extract specific sums from the populaâ€" tion. If a few people died of suffocaâ€" tion or pain. if most unfortunates were broken physically for life, if the minds of men and women snappedâ€"well, s‘:ag and dross were to be expected from any mining operation. "Those who were made to disgorg? signed formal statements ‘contributing‘ their valuta to ‘help the Five Year Plan.‘ All victims were warned never to mention to anyone what they had seen and suffered, on pain of being reâ€" turned to the torture chambers. "When I write of tortiures, I use the word in its literal sense. The entire system was nicely calculated to reduce the strongest men and women, whether janitors or celcbrated professors to the common level of slobbering fear. ‘"You just forgot that you‘re human, that there are still people who are not wild beasts, that somewhere once you heard the music and poetry of civilization," one woman tried to explain to me.

The letters, dictated by the GPU, usually made trantic appseals for specified amounts, explaining vaguely that it was ‘a matâ€" ter of life and death‘ When the money arrived it was, of course, inâ€" startly ‘contribuied‘ to the Five Year Plan. "The GPU, shrewdly assuming that anyone having valuta would probably know others similarly cursed, sought to make every victim a spy. ~An acâ€" quaintance in Kharkov had been on the valuta rack three times at interâ€" vals of a month cr two. He seemed tc have grown 20 ‘years older; his cheeks were sunken and his hands trembled. ‘The first few times,‘ he said ‘I gave them money. But the third time I had no more to give.

Only after the evidence piled up, year after year, was I driven to accept as horrible fact ‘the gold miring‘ of the GPU in all the ripe ness of its corruption. "The cruelty of the valuta torture was without a shadow cf ‘revolutionary necsssity‘; a dictatorial state merely captured its subjects and bled them white. And the victims, with few exâ€" <cptions, had come by their valuta leâ€" gally, and even under the Soviet law had every right to it. Socialist thinkâ€" ing had always placed,. human life above property. Now the Kramlin was placing property far above human life. Most of the money collected would have come into the coffers of the state anyhow sooner or later, as the ownâ€" ers gradually spent it in govamment stcres."
