B. c. Fishermen
.DiSapprOve of
Biased Action

STEVESTON, B. c.. July Is
"A meeting of Steveston fish
ermen recently by secret ballot
voted overwhelmingly against
discrimination against any in
dividual on account of their
race, color or political opinion.
The voting was the result of in
stances received at Union Head
quarters of discrimination practiced
by some white fishermen against
the newly-returned japanese Cana
dams. The issue had been dealt with
at a previous meeting of the Steve
ston local with no final decision
being taken.
The meeting debated at some
length on what the policy should
be, in view of the fact that some
Steveston fishermen allegedly took
discriminatory action. 1t was re-
ported by The Fisherman, an organ
representing the organized fisher
men OF B. c., that the majority of
the fishermen did not support "the
terroristic tactics" being used. end
they felt that Japanese Canadians
should be accepted as brother union
members and treated with the same
respect as is accorded other fish
ermeri.
At the conclusion of the meeting.
Ken Udy, president of the Steve
ston local, stated: Now we have
decided the issue once and for all.
If there are any more actions taken
against japanese, the local here will
have to do something about it."

Looking Ahead
By GEORGE s. BENSON
as BIGNEss BADY"

MANY CRITICS Of our American
system use big business as q special
target for their attacks. According
to their charges. big business throt
ties competition, creates monopolies,
maltreats labor, and kills small en-
ter-prises. Their attitude toward big
business represents more than \
natural dislike 70, bigness in bust
ness. It also shows their shrewdness
in using the propaganda weapon
10 destroy our :.ysten.
If they should succeed in getting
public opinion on their side, 1t would
soon be reflected in legislation which
could well destroy this segment OF
our economy, ard eventually tuln
our entire economy into state So
cialism.
Grown Up" Business
BIG BUSINESS Is nothing but
small business grown up. They grew
up because the public allowed them
to do so. No business can become
big business without public appro-
val. Public approval cannot be
bought. It is earned through the
hard-work process of competing
against scores of other companies
and giving John @. Public q better
washing machine, dress, or automo-
bile for his money. AS demand for
a product grows, facilities must be
increased to meet that demand. A
business grows as the public with
its buying dictates.
AS business grows, it becomes more
efficient and makes possible real
savings to the public. Our $500
mass produced automobile, if built
with the tools of 1900, would cost
$4,000. Mass purchasing, production
and distribution result in economies
impossible in small business.
Public Prospers
LARGER investment provides also
the necessary extensive research de-
manded by keen competition. This
huge investment pays dividends to
workers, too. Labor saving tools null
tiply the productive capacity of the
worker and ease the load from his
back. This greater production allows
him higher pay and shorter hours
and puts him In a class far above
workmen of any other nation.
Small business mas Iareu well, IN
this progress story. You see. big
business has created thousands of
enterprises that owe their existence
to its production. without the huge
output provided by the automotive
industry, the average city would be
without its many accessory stores,
radiator shops, repair shops, filling
stations, parking lots, and garages.
Far from being exterminated, small
business continues to develop.
Big business has made a striking
contribution to our nations pros
perity and progress. AS long as it
is operated by human beings, there
will be occasions for justifiable cri-
ticism. However. minor criticisms
must not be allowed to destroy the
true Importance of big business to
a growing nation. It is essential to
a continued dynamic economy. The
public, having created big business,
will further prosper by its continu-
ance.
