Did you know the King-St. Laurent gov-
ernment is contributing to the Berlin crisis
to aid it in fitting you and every other Can-
adian into a foreign - directed master plan
for aggressive war?

The story of this calculated plot, con-
cealed by the daily press, is laid bare by the
Pacific Tribune to aid in rousing the people
of British Columbia to move for peace against
the warmongers.

Ten thousand Vancouverites will demon-
strate their desire for peace this weekend at
Sunday’s United Labor Picnic in Confedera-
ticn Park; where Maurice Rush, LPP pro-
vincial organizer, will speak on the sub-
ject, “Stamp out the warmongers!”

Ottawa is playing the Berlin crisis to
sneak through drastic measures to regiment
our entire economic fabric.

PLOT AGAINST PEACE

A detailed war blueprint is: being drawn
up in our nation’s capital to meet American
requests. The lives and jobs of every citizen
are being fitted into: it.

In the Washington ‘war bloc talks, Ex-
ternal Minister St. Laurent’s emissaries be-
hind closed doors are acting as stoolpigeons

‘One was the startling proof that
violence and shooting by the law-
less shipping companies is part
of a plot not only to break the
leadership of the CSU but also
to destroy the leadership of the
Trades and Labor Congress of
Canada. A sworn affidavit by Rob-
ert Lindsay, former business
agent for the Sullivan scabherd-
ing agency, states that he was
told by Captain Scott Misener,
president of Sarnia and Colonial
Steamships, “We have a move on
foot in Ottawa to get rid of Ben-& <q
gough of the Trades and Labor | £@
Council along with certain ele-
ments of the Canadian Seamen’s
Union.”

This was dramatic substantia-
tion that what is involved is not
two companies and one union,
but a major section of big busi-
ness, with which the government
is directly collaborating, and the
whole Canadian labor movement.

Second danger signal was the
King government’s reply to the
angry nationwide protest against "==
