Such united action is needed to set Canada upon a new course for world peace, universal | disarma- ment, independence and basic reform - of our social and political structure. The Canadian parliament must be ressured to stop the sale of arms to the USA for its war of aggression in Indo- china. This is the immediate source of U.S. deficits and inflationary pressures. It should have been the target of Prime Minister Trudeau in 1969, rather than the disastrous austerity program which has already created an army of unem- ployed. Canada must call upon Presi- dent Nixon to get out now from Indo- china. (e) There must be no lay-offs. Govern- | nts must take action to stop plant dren by imposing regulations and public ownership. If governments fail to act, workers should follow the great example of the Clydeside ship-builders. Their “work-in” proves that govern- ments and corporations can no longer deprive workers of their right to go on producing the means of life for them- selves and for society, providing the will and spirit to resist 1s organized for effective action.

We must recast our trade policies, which now reflect U.S. control and cold- war concepts, and move towards ex- panding trade with the socialist world as well as countries that have only re- cently emerged from imperialist colo- nial bondage. In short, we must put Canada back . to work. e@ Putting Canada back to work to raise living standards calls for drastic tax reform to increase public buying power and expand our main market—the do- mestic market. The tax burden must be shifted to the rich, based on the principle of ability to pay. Minimum wage laws must be revised to guarantee no less than a $3 per hour minimum. A 32-hour work-week with no loss in take-home pay. End all dis- crimination against women, including conditions of employment and pay. Massive public works programs re- lated to both urban and rural recon- struction and ample provisions for com- munication, transportation, social and cultural life for the people. Hcusing as a public utility to guaran- tee modern comfortable low-cost and low-rental homes for every Canadian family. : d Such measures, along with a new made-in-Canada constitution and an in- dependent foreign policy, must become part and parcel of labor’s demands and objectives. They cannot be realized through collective bargaining alone, but require consistent campaigning and mass political action at.all levels in both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary forms. ; A decisive voice must be won for la- bor in the’ matter of technological change. We must have a Labor Bill of Rights. Coordination and unity in bargain- ing. A merging of unions where needed on a truly democratic basis. Systema- tic promotion in trade unions of women and young workers to positions of leadership responsibility. A fully auto- nomous trade union movement in Can- ada, working in fraternal cooperation with workers all over the world. Such are the requirements for successful struggle against monopolies and their governments. No surrender to monopoly!
