they spumed Louis St.
urent's pretense that the Atlantic pact meant “peace in our lifetime.” And again they were right.

But in the House of Commons not a single CCF member from British Columbia voted against the
Atlantic pact or abstained from voting. With M. J. Coldwell, CCF national leader, Angus MacInnis,
Rod Young and other CCF MPs from B.C. went against the democratically voiced wishes of the ma-
jority of CCF supporters jn the province and voted against peace and the true interests of the Canadian
- people for a war pact designed by the monopolies and trusts of Wall Street.

That could not have happened if there had been even one Labor-Progressive MP in the House to
expose the Alilantic pact for the war alliance it is.

Will you, when you cast your ballot on June 27, also vote against peace,
terests? Can you place your hopes for peace in any candidate of any party alread
the Atlantic pact? Peace must be fought for, and your vote for the candidates of
party is your assurance that you will have the men to fight for peace in the next

against your own in-
y committed to support
the Labor-Progressive
parliament.
