New foreign policy

Cont'd from pg. 1

@ The total disassociation of

Canada from the U.S, war in
Vietnam, and an outspoken public
stand in the United Nations in
support of the propositions of its
Secretary-General which begin
with the demand that the United
States cease its bombing of North
Vietnam,

@ Withdrawal from NATO, and
the return of Canadian troops
now stationed in Germany.

‘e Active support for measures

to guarantee the peace and
security of Europe which must
involve the curbing of the re-
newed threat of revenge seeking
West German militarism.

e Promotion in every possible

way of the principle of peace-
ful co-existence between states
possessing differing social sys-
tems, including unflagging efforts
for world disarmament, exten-
sion of disintererested aid to
the developing nations, and the
recognition by Canada of the
Chinese People’s Republic, and
the German Democratic Re-

_ public,

@ Continued refusal to bedrawn

into U.S, imperialist adven-
tures in Latin America by means
of Canadian membership in the
Organization of American States.

“This would be a policy of
active neutrality for peace, It
would be a policy that would be
listened to with deep respect in
the councils of the nations, once
Canada ceased to be suspect as
a front for American imperial-
ism, and had established itselfin
the eyes of all humanity as a
country which seeks no other
interest than that of the peace of
the world,”

LABOR SCENE:

camenpt charge filed

Three top officers of the United
Fishermen and Allied Workers
Union (UFAWU), president H.
(Steve) Stavenes, secretary
Homer Stevens and business agent
Jack Nichol, have been ordered
to appear before the B.C, Su-
preme Court in Nanaimo on May
23 to answer contempt charges
arising from aCourt order issued
March 23 on the application of
members of the Prince Rupert
Fishing Vessel Owners’ Associa=
tion,

The court order directed
UFAWU officers to instruct union
shoreworkers in Prince Rupert to
handle “hot” fish on board five
vessels which had violated the
March 17 coastwise strike dead-

-line,

A referendum ballot of the
UFAWU membership -throughout
B.C, resulted in an 85,5 percent
majority voting against sending
such instructions to the Prince
Rupert shoreworkers,

**The three UFAWU leaders are
in the same position today as 30
trade unionists were inlastsum-

mer as a result of the Lenkurt .

Electric dispute,” stated Van-
couver Labor Council secretary
C. P. (Paddy) Neale at last week’s
session of the council,

**It is significant that the court
itself has initiated the action in

‘this case and the fact that Na-

naimo has been made the venue
of the hearing appears to be
aimed at removing the action
from the area where labor is
centered, It seems an attempt is
going to be made to railroad three
more trade unionists to jail”,
he said,

Neale drew attention to the fact
that the ‘‘contempt” charge aris=
ing out of the Lenkurt injunction

TAG DAY

Cont'd from pg. 1

of medical supplies to both North
and South Vietnam,

In appealing for support of the
tag day, Jack Henderson said it
would be an excellent opportunity
for concerned people to demon-
strate their compassion for the
children who bore the brunt ofan
incredibly savage and brutal per-
iod.

Rev. Christie noted that the tag
day would be an opportunity for
church people who have been
frustrated to date to show their
concern in a non-political way.

Ald. T. Alsbury moved the
motion that council give permis-
sion for the tag day. He made
mention of the fact that this was
an exceptional case and hoped
that on humanitarian grounds the
council would favor the tag day.
Ald, H, Bird seconded the motion
which passed seven to two with
Mayor T, Campbell and Alder-
man R, Atherton voting against,

was not initiated by the company
but by the provincial attorney-
general’s department, whereas in
the case of the UFAWU neither
the Vessel Owners Association
nor the attorney-general appear
to be involved, but rather the
court itself is taking action
against the union,

Neale urged all organized labor
to continue to protest “not only
the use of court injunctions, but
also the methods used by the

courts” against labor,

The Labor Relations Board
(LRB) last week rejected a bid
by the International Woodworkers
of America (IWA) for certification
at the Tahsis Co,, pulp mill au.
Gold River on Vancouver Island,
The Port Alberni IWA local to=
gether with the International Pulp
and Sulphite Union had also made
application for a joint certitica-
tion covering the Gold River op-
eration, a move ‘‘approved’’ by
both the Canadian Labor Congress
executive and IWA international
president, Al Hartung,

That is now ruled out by the
LRB rejection and the LRB
Wednesday ordered a _ vote
to determine whether the Inter-
national Pulp and Sulphite Union
or the Canadian Pulp and Paper
Workers Union shall become the
bargaining agency for Tahsis
employees,

At the Harmac millin Nanaimo
the Canadian union holds a pre-
ponderent majority of members
in the operation, despite the fact
that the LRB on one pretext or
another has so far refused to
allow the Canadian union a cer=
tification vote, Even in the case
of the IWA application at Gold
River the LRB arguments for

“rejection’’, according to many
trade union spokesmen, are open
to question,

ieee

Opening during the past week-
end in Victoria, the B.C, Dis-
trict convention of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen’s and Ware-
housemen’s Union (ILWU) heard
International President Harry
Bridges blast those American
union leaders who had become in-
volved in the receipt of U.S,
Central Intelligence Agency
(CLA) funds to pervert and cor-
rupt trade union policies athome
and abroad, He charged the
U.S, through its CIA “is seducing

-labor organizations in a dis-

graceful anti-working class con-
spiracy”,

Some sixty delegates in atten-
dance at the ILWU convention
approved the report of their ex-
ecutive officers, which stated
among other things that “the
ILWU will do whatever it can to
unite labor into a more co-op-
erative, militant body so that we
can all concentrate on the job
unions we’re organized to do,
instead of using up valuable time
on internal problems,”
