     U.S. to reap greater and 
     
     greater profits. What we 
     
     have fought for (as well 
     
    
   
   
    
     your schooling is, in it- 
     
     self, an indictment on the 
     
     decaying capitalist system 
     
     in Canada. It shows again 
     
     that it cannot use the re— 
     
     sources-especially our 
     
     youth—to the advantage of 
     
     all Canadians. Nor can 
     
    

    
     we look to that class and 
     
     the'political system that 
     
     executes its policies, to 
     
     change policies to favor 
     
     the people. Only the un- 
     
     ited, organized action by 
     
     the people themselves can. 
     
     This is precisely what Is- 
     
     landers must now do. They 
     
     must organize to fight back 
     
     against Trudeau's wage—cut-

     land — it should therefpre, 
     
     be owned and controlled by 
     
     all the people. 
     
    

    
     Foreign capital investmp 
     
     ent only rapes the ISland 
     
     and exploits our people. 
     
     This must stop! P.E.I. 
     
     must cease to be a haven 
     
     for profit development by 
     
     such outfits as: C.M. Mac— 
     
     Lean Ltd and Dundas Farms, 
     
     as well as corporations‘ 
     
     such as the notorious Dale 
     
    
   
   
    
     Corporation. ‘ 
     
    

    
     The Island people are 
     
     becoming increasingly fed- 
     
     up with foreign domination; 
     
     but the best expression of 
     
     this anti-foreign sentiment 
     
     was in a poem submitted to 
     
     "Letters to the Editor" in 
     
     the Feb. 4th, 1976 edition 
     
     of the "Eastern Graphic." 
     
     It was submitted by Ardalle 
     
     Russell of St. Peter's Bay, 
     
     P.E.I. Here's how it goes: 
     
    
   
   
    
     ting policies as well as 
     
    

    
     the cut—back, on people— 
     
     _oriented programs; They 
     
     'must demand programs for 
     
     Islanders; they must demand 
     
     industrial development; they 
     
     must demand a broad plan for 
     
     the agricultural development 
     
     of P.E.I. - to put more 
     
    

    
     land into production; the 
     
     same in fisheries; they must 
     
     demand education relevant 
     
    

    
     to these programs. 
     
    

    
     These programs alone would 
     
     create employment for sev— 
     
     eral times our present po— 
     
     pulation. There would be 
     
     no need to exile! 
     
    
   
   
    
     as died for) in the class 
     
     struggle throughout our 
     
     history, is being legis- 
     
     lated away before our eyes. 
     
     Our historical gains are 
     
     being eroded — to protect 
     
     the capitalist system! 
     
    

    
     Moreover, in the cont— 
     
     ext of the present crisis, 
     
     what do you, the student, 
     
     have to look forward to? 
     
     Especially those of you 
     
     who will be graduating this 
     
     spring? 4 
     
    

    
     When the convocation ex— 
     
     ercises are completed; when 
     
     the celebration of getting 
     
     an education is over, then 
     
     what? Will you have to 
     
     line up at the welfare of? 
     
     fice? I hope not; but what 
     
     alternatives do you have? 
     
     Perhaps you'll be forced to 
     
     .exile. I do not advise 
     
     that you come to Toronto: 
     
     you couldn't buy a job 
     
     there! 
     
    

    
     To have to leave your 
     
     homeland after Completing 
     
    
   
   
    
     the so—called Anti—Inflation 
     
     program. It is certain now 
     
     that Campbell will start to 
     
     'get tough" with the people- 
     
     especially the unemployed, 
     
     those on fixed incomes, and 
     
     those who, forced into un- 
     
     employment, must rely on 
     
     U.I.C. or welfare. ' 
     
    

    
     It is not enough that 
     
    
   
   
    
     federal programs have been 
     
    
   
   
    
     slashed: L.I.P.; O.F.Y.; 
     
     Company of Young Canadians; 
     
     DREE; U.I.C.; as well as 
     
     many municipal peoples pr— 
     
     grams in cities and towns 
     
     across the nation, but now 
     
     the local hacks will start 
     
     to swing their axe too! 
     
     And, on top of it all, the 
     
     Canadian Chamber of Commerce 
     
     wants to do away with the 
     
     vital family allowance. 
     
     g It is painfully obvious 
     
     'ri the extent that so many 
     
     ‘ ordinary working people 
     
     are being scapegoated so 
     
     as to enable the corpora—
