DON'T MISS READERS — |
CONFERENCE THIS SUNDAY |"

Readers of the Pacific Tribune in Greater Vancouver
will gather this coming Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in the Pender
Auditorium to discuss the work of their paper.

These Readers Conferences have become an annual
event: and serve a very useful role in the life of the paper.
From these conferences have come valuable suggestions

for improvement.

They have also served to bring the Pr staff we
readers closer together so that there emerges a deeper
understanding of what is needed and what the problems

are.

Now that the paper is again growing in size and circu-
lation, the conference this Sunday is being looked forward
to with keen interest and a large turnout is expected.

Tavon affair’ reveals
crisis in Israeli party

Israel’s ‘Lavon affair”
veals a “sharp crisis within ens
Mapai ruling party, frighten-
ing irregularities in the rela-
tion between army and gov-
ernment and a mass of forg-
ery, slander, moral corruption,
personal - intrigue and what
have you,” according to a re-
cent issue of the Israeli Com-
munist - Party’s’ information
bulletin.

‘While the ‘security mishap’
itself remains well submerg-
ed,” declares the’ bulletin,
“events seem to point. to the
fact that Mr. Ben-Gurion, ev-
en while in retirement, played
an important, decisive role in
the conduct of military mat-
ters behind ‘the backs of both
the minister of defense (La-

his hands on the reins of the
most sensitive section of the
state machinery, thus acting
illegally according to the ten-
ets of democratic oii ancl
ary procedure.”

In demanding a thorough in-
vestigation of the ‘affair’ by
the Knesset’s (parliament) for-
eign affairs committee. Com-
munist MP. Shmuel Mikunis
said:

‘Tt is one of the most clear-
cut facts.of how our militar-
ists exploited and continue to
exploit the specific term ‘se-
curity reasons’ for political
and other goals—even against
the minister of defense if he is
not to their liking.”

The “Lavon affair’ ostensib-
ly turns around a_ particular
“security mishap” which took
place some six years ago and
which resulted in the resigna-
tion of Lavon, then minister of
defense.

“The leaders. of. the main
stream of the labor movement
in -North America are. not
playing the role they should
and. must,”. Bob Robertson,
vice president of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen’ Si and
Warehousemen’s Union, . told
the district convention of that
union in Vancouver last week.

“The crying need is for re-
duced hours of work to com-
pensate for’ increased. produc-
tivity and longer ~ life “span,

level necessary to maintain
prosperity and employment.
George Meany and the other
top’ leaders have nothing to
say -on this matter but are
busily engaged in campaign-
ing for more money for bigger | u:
atom bombs and missles.’ he
stated.

—Rowertson cited decree to
the convention to show ; the
extent to which monoply in
the USA was gouging the na-

‘tional economy. é :

“Corporation profits have
risen from $5 billion, after
taxes in 1939,.to $24.6 billion
after taxes in 1959. This is an
increase of 392%. During the
same period industrial wages
rose from 66.3¢ an hour to
$2.22 an hour or an inerease of
251%. Ina twenty year period
rofits have risen 50% faster

“Automation can mean ots
ger profits for the boss: and.
lay-offs. - for the worker, or
shorter hours.and a better life
for the workers — it’s up to

is unity, not only within a
industry. but between
