Readers belonging te organiza- tions are asked to get their mem- bers to take a blocl: of tickets. Ask your organiaztion to make a regu- lar monthly contribution for the re— habilitation fund. Such assistance as this will soon put the boys back On their feet so that they can assist in the labor movement here.

OTTAWA chief electoral officer, which will probably become a ‘standing in- struction to all returning officers. Castonguay’s statement declares. “Any person who is engaged in his ordinary gainful occupation on the day of the issue of the Wrt (of election) with the ex- pectation of continuing to do so for 2a reasonable time thereafter, is entitled te be registered as an elector and to vote at a Domin- ion election im the electoral dis- trict in which he is so engaged, even if such electoral district is not the one in which he ordin- arily resided, provided that such 2 person is otherwise qualified as an elector. “If the name of such person has been omitted from the list, he is, in a rural polling division, stil entitled to vote upon being vouched for by a resident elector whose name is on the list” The chief electoral officers’ state- ment is also contained in an off- Cial brief which was prepared un- der direction of the special com- mittee on electoral matters in an- Swer to the unions’ submissions, Stanton explained. He said the present system of voting will be the same as was used in the 1930 elections, and since no complaints were received from any part of the country at that time, it is assumed that complete satisfaction is felt with the system. “The unions are therefore satis- fied that their point has been made, and that in the coming general elections no group of workers will be denied the franchise because they do not happen to reside per- manetly in the place where they work,” Stanton said. Continued VETERANS mey, he said, the Spanish people brought the prisoners drinks and Sandwiches and threw chocolate bars into the coaches. While in San Pedro it was the common people who smuggled out the prisoners’ letters to relatives and friends and smuggled in re- plies. Most of the men who returned had been in Franco prisons for more than a year and newspaper-— men who interviewed them learn- ed something of the conditions behind the fascist lines—bad , food, lack of medical attention for wounds, frequent brutal beat- ings under questioning by the Gestapo, German secret police.

W. D. Herridge in the course of an address to an audience which packed the Empire Theatre here last Briday evening. In calm, deliberate manner he ap- pealed to the intelligence of the people in obtaining their support for the New Democracy. He stated that the people of Ganada were in revolt against existing conditions because the old democracy had tragically failed. - Jap Arms Plants Draft Children Low Wages Driving Men From Industry TOKIO, Japan. — Refusal of adults to work in the Japanese munitions industry at the ex- tremely low rate of wages pre- vailing has resulted in a drive by industrialists to bring an ad- ditional 25,000 child workers “Production has been kept down into their plants. to the level of our capacity to pur- Over 35,000- of these child ehase.

There is but one way to do this and that is to turn out the old political parties. That will be the first job and the hardest job the New Democracy will in a munitions factory was esti- mated at approximately 37 cents a day, while women workers re- ceived 23 cents a day. Last year the daily wage for men was estimated at $1.35 while women workers received 39 cents a day. This sharp drop has driven adults out of the industry, and brought further proof of the ca- tastrophic condition of Japanese economy. have The New Democracy will dis= = tribute the national wealth of Continued Canada in the service of the people: production will be for use, not for profit; the full cooperation of the state will be needed to make the proper adjustment of wages and Prices; the monetary system will be reformed and labor will take the high place it demands. in the opinion of Mr. Herridge the Liberal and Conservative Parties now have a strange identity of policy —the main characteristic | beings to ignore realities He pre- dicted that in all probability after the next election the Tiberals and PRESS DRIVE ballos contributed 310.20; Youbou, $6.75; Campbell River, $3.50; and Ladysmith, $1.50.
