The number of jobless hit 8.3 percent in November 1978.

The 1.2 percent monthly increase was the largest since StatsCan Started keeping quarterly records in 1945, an agency official said.

Soviets want to oust Kania

“There are growing signs they want (Kania) out. The Soviet people are being told in a propaganda campaign that the Polish party has failed to keep the country in line with. socialism,” the diplomat said.

The moves against Kania coincide with a new threat of a national strike over price in- creases, calls for cuts in

defense spending in Solidarity’s national program and Walesa’s

success in tightening his control over the [0 million member union.

against the alleged waste of taxpayers’ dollars by all levels of bureaucracy, he sometimes appeared to forget which country he was

in. But his frequent references to America nevertheless brought repeated applause.

“I don’t know how it is in Canada,” he said “but Ive got my suspicions... You got a big raise this year (in taxes) and [m telling you if you don’t do something about it

In the United States, Jarvis said, bureaucracy runs government and neither president nor senators can do anything about it. “Now I wonder if you've got some, of

that up here?” he asked. His answer was an im- mediate commotion of

clapping and guffaws which was loud and long.

If you put money in the hands of the people “how in the hell does it hurt the country?”

The answer to his own rhetorical question, “it benefits citizens, not bureaucracy,” provoked another outbreak of clap- ping.

In discussing the success of Proposition 13 Jarvis stated that the initial goals of the proposition were to stop foreclosures on homes due to the inability of homeowners to pay property taxes, and to reduce the cost of government.

He reported complete success in the attainment of the first objective, main- taining that 7,000 properties a month foreclosed before Proposition 13 was effected but none foreclosed after it.

The second goal, cutting

government costs, has not been reached according to Jarvis. But he was quick to contend that the reason for this is the healthier California economy which followed the institution of Proposition 13.

He said over half a million new jobs were created, unemployment and welfare costs dropped, while income tax payments rose proportionally, and a surge of consumerism caused by lower taxes and more jobs meant a boost in sales tax to the government giving it more money to spend than ever before.

In an overview of the American economy, Jarvis gave Reagan three options; either he must reduce government expenditures, raise taxes, or go broke. He said there are no govern- ment employees on social security because “they've got a better deal.”

“Same here” came a cry from the audience. -

The question period at the end consisted mainly of personal statements of support for the speech and the petition which was then being signed by members of

the audience.

“Fm sick of being a vic- tim!” exclaimed one person. Another said people should not support the petition and suggésted an “equitable

division of the school tax -

burden between residential property tax. and provincial government revenue,” but “he was booed down.

Jarvis ended the evening

saying that in order for Canada to remain a free country it is important for people to regain control of the country. He then said, in

reference to aie recent Campbell River fishing trip, that Western Canada is so nice “I almost wish it was part of the States.”
