An Associated Press Dispatch
from Tel Aviv discloses anew one
of the real objectives of Israel’s
ruling circles in the recent inva-
sion of the Arab states, The AP
reports:—

‘Israel is counting on oil from
captured fields inthe Sinai desert
to bolster its economy’. The AP
then quotes an ‘industrial source’

“as saying: ‘We don’t know how long

we will occupy Sinai, but even if
we did so for a year, we could
get enough oil to give the economy
a good boost for awhile,

This is oil that belongs to the
government of the United Arab
Republic and is being stolen by
Israel’s capitalists. The claim
of ‘self defense’ as a motive for
the Israeli incursion upon its
neighbors wears thinner every
day.

) Heavy-handed stratagems

don’t heal labor splits

By OBSERVER

The reinstatement of four
locals of the International Wood-
workers of America by the ex-
ecutive of the British Columbia
Federation of Labor is a wel-
come development. Reinstate-
ment was anticipated after the
release of the report of the sub-
committee set up by the Execu-
tive Committee of the Canadian
Labor Congress. While welcom-
ing the recommendation for re-
instatement, we cannot overlook
that the report endorses the right
of the B.C. Fed. to suspend the
four locals, That could be a
dangerous precedent.

Th> die was cast for reinstate-
ment when .top leaders of the
I1.W;A, threatened to withdraw
40,000 Canadian workers from
the C.L.C. Such a mass with-
drawal would have greatly weak-
ened the B.C, Fed and a number
of labor councils would have
-been badly hurt.

GDR Etchings
for top Clubs

By E. CRIST
Circulation Manager

For the first time inits history
this year’s PNE featured an art
and handicraft exhibition from the
German Democratic Republic
(GDR) including a collection of
etchings by members of the GDR
Academy of Arts in Berlin,

This unique selection now dis-
played at the 341 Gallery at 341
West Pender, Vancouver, several
works by the Association of Art-
ist’s in the GDR as a special
Tribute to the fighting people of
Vietnam.

The etchings now on display
are a part of a series of 24 on
the Vietnam theme and won an
international. award at an exhi-
bit in Berlin, In addition they
were displayed at an interna-
tionally sponsored exhibition
*Artist’s in support of the peo-
ple in Vietnam” in Prague and
Paris where they won wide ac-
claim.

The Press Committee is happy
to announce the acquisition of two
of these etchings as prizes for
the best club in the city and the
best club in the Province at this
year’s circulation drive.

For more details call the PT
circulation department.

Along with rising sentiments
for ‘a free, Canadian trade union
movement, there is a growing
reaction against attempts by
right-wing bureaucrats of the
CLC to impose thought control,

This writer does not endorse
all the public statements by Syc,
Thompson of the I,W.A., but
neither does he endorse the idea
that the situation in the lumber
and pulp industry can be solved
by heavy-handed tactics, For that
matter, the C.L.C, sub-commit-
tee also had its reservations:
“The sub-committee is of the
opinion that the Federation would
have been wise to have submit-
ted a detailed and official report
to the Congress on this matter
and to have sought advice and
perhaps mediation assistance be-
fore imposing suspensions,”

The official reason for the
suspension was the refusal of the
locals to apologize for the public
criticism of Joe Morris, C,L.C,
Executive Vice President and
former head of the I.W.A,in B.C.
At the bottom of all this were
sharp differences over future
realignments among the unions
in the lumber and pulp industry,

It is likely that the report will
-be discussed at the October con-

eraft factory — works in the

vention of the B.C, Fed. The
convention would render a valu-

able service it if called for a.

joint bargaining council for all
unions in lumber and pulp, with
the ultimate goal of one union,
It should make it clear to the
leadership of the Fed, that ir-
respective of the merits or de-

merits of the public statements
that led to the suspensions, the
answer does not lie in excluding
locals,

The acting-president of the
C.L.C., Donald MacDonald, de-
serves a demerit badge for the
covering letter he sent out with
the 12-page report of the sub-
committee, In that letter he draws
a false parallel between the cur-
rent situation and that which pre-
vailed prior to the attempt in
1948 to withdraw the B.C. mem-
bership of the I.W.A, from the
International, “The Executive
Committee feels that the parallél
should be drawn to the attention
of the membership of chartered
and affiliated unions in B.C, in
order that they may be alertedto
the dangerous possibility of his-
tory repeating itself.”

The monopoly press, eager to
sow dissension, left the false
impression that this covering
letter was part of the report,

Whatever the mistakes of 1948,
history will absolve those who
made them, because the ideathey
advanced, for an independent
trade union movement, is gaining
more adherents with each passing
day. This writer does not advo-
cate secession as a general line
of advance. However, unless the
top leaders of the C,L.C. give
more constructive and decisive
leadership to gain Canadian au-
tonomy for the Congress and its
affiliates, the pressures and
moods that precede secession
will be intensified.
