bomb, progressive disarmament,
and a five-power peace pact.

Canadians have good reason to
want this hideous weapon destroy-
ed, for it is well remembered that
Canadian soldiers at Ypres in
World War I were first to feel
the effect of poison gas. This wea-
pon so outraged the conscience of
humanity that even the Hitlerites
dared not use it in the second
world war.

It’s Canadian uranium that’s
being plundered to make this fiend-
ish new weapon for Wall Street.
It’s Canada’s externa] affairs min-
ister and our UN Atomic Energy
Commission representative Gen-
eral A. G. L. McNaughton who play
the roles of chief stooges for Tru-
man in delaying—for over three
years—action on the UN General
Assembly resolution of 1946 favor-
ing the outlawing of the bomb.

It’s Pearson and McNaughton
who pretend to speak for Canada,
who stand before the world as
ghoulish apostles of more and still
more A-bombs for the mass anni-
hilation of peoples.

They, like President Truman,
can only carry on this diabolical
game by pretending to do the ex-
act opposite. Feeling the world
pressure, Truman chose the oc-
easion of laying the corner-stone
of the UN’s permaneht home on
October 24 to make what the dailies
headlined as a fresh plea for in-
ternational atomic cooperation. He
said he wanted to be sure that
“atomic energy will be devoted to
man’s welfare and not to his de-
struction.”

But then, just as if Wall Street
really did have an atomic monop-
oly, and just as if the Soviet !Un-
ion had not two weeks ago made
yet another proposal for banning
the bomb, he dished up the same
old Baruch plan proposed by the
U.S. since 1946.

“We will support this plan and
wil] continue to support it unless
and until a better and more ef-
fective plan has been put for-
ward,” he said.

‘A. “better and more effective plan”
was put forward by the Soviet
Union in 1946. “Better and more
effective’ because the Baruch plan
is not a plan to ban the bomb a
all. - :

The Soviet plan is.

The Baruch plan does not pro-
pose international cooperation. It
proposes a world atomic monop-
oly for the American trusts.

“The Soviet plan proposed ban-
ning of the bomb and international
cooperation from the first. And
since 1946 the Soviet Union has
made several compromises to ré-
move every last possible excuse
from those who've tried to block
it. :

Now Canada has joined with the
US., ®ritain, France, and ‘the
Chiang Kai-shek outfit in .declar-
ing the UN’s Atomic Energy Com-|
mission couldn’t succeed because
the Soviet Union wouldn’t give
up its “sovereignty.” That was the
give-away. :

And the Soviet Union, only two
weeks before, had offered to lay
all information on its atomic
bombs before the UN and chal-
lenged the U.S. to do likewise.
Soviet spokesman Malik proposed
an international armaments cen-
sus. i

Because no subject has been the
subject of more distortion in the
big business press, the Pacific

plan and the Baruch plan.

Next time you hear somebody
telling you the Soviet Union won’t
agree to international control, tell
them the facts. The quicker most
people know the facts the quicker
Canada will stop being a catspaw
in the most ghastly racket ever
invented by the merchants of
death.

but he’s an enthusiastic supporter of our paper; and a fellow

getting work, apparently, for he’s well] ahead in the race for
top honors in the sub drive.. .. Holding down second spot is
WILF ROBSON, a consistent press builder from away back.
Robbie sends in a few subs every week, and has a good fighting
chance to head the list when final returns are tabulated in the
Pacific Tribune on November 18 (all subs turned in up to and
including November 15 will count). .. .

GEORGE ANDERSON from Copper Mountain combined
with LENA LIPSEY of our business office staff to do a bang-up
job of sub-getting recently. While Lena was visiting Copper
Mountain, George introduced her to score of miners. Aftér
listening & a double sales talk, three dozen miners became sub-
scribers and another dozen promised to take subs come pay
day. . .. s ws

Best all-round work in the campaign has been done by the
seamen, who set an example which other industrial workers
could follow. A committee of seamen. carefully canvassed the
crews of every ship docking in Vancouver; the plan worked, and
the WCSU boys head the group parade. eo

CHARLIE CARON of North Vancouver has been sending
in a pile of subs, and his group are all perking over there.
We don’t know what the secret of their success is; if they have
found any new way to get subs, other than the old and always
reliable method of hard work, we'd be glad to hear about it... -.

Our WEST END supporters really got going this past few
days, and forged past the consistent sub-getters from KIT-
SILANO, who were among the front runners for several weeks.

VICTORY SQUARE lumber workers are on the job, too, keeping
just a nose ahead of the hard workers from NORQUAY.

More than 1200 subs have been turned in to date; the
equivalent of about 1000 one-year subs. Because a flock of subs
began to pour in from plrovincial points this week, along with
many letters promising surprising results within the next 106
days, we decided to extend the final tabulation date until
the middle of the month, when we will publish lists of prize-
winners and all the drive figures, incliding the complete stand-
ings of groups and individuals. ;

So, if you’ve made a pledge and havyen’t quite fulfilled it
yet, you have another few days to complete the job. A pledge,
once given, is a serious thing. We hope and expect that every
supporter who gave us a pledge to raise a certain numbee of
subs will do his or her utmost to live up to it.

Remember, our future depends on your work.
