Ryerson, author of “French Canada” and managing editor of National Affairs Monthly, on behalf of the Labor-Progressive Party, to a meeting of the Kitchener-Waterlos Friendship Council, Monday, Oct. 30.) Progressive-Conseryative spokesmen and their entire press are manifestly intent upon utilizing the issue of the employment overseas of the NRMA force in order to disrupt In the course of this campaign, which is aimed at Ottawa rather than Berlin, these gentlemen are endeavouring to perpetrate a monstrous hoax on the by the electoral “machine” of the Tory party! 'The so-called “Independents” led by F. Dorion and J. S. Roy, “Sndependent” conservative MP’s are the Quebee front for the party of Messrs, Drew, Meigzhen and Bracken. Hiven the ultra- conservative Le Devoir (October 26) revealed the operation of the tory machine in the founding of this new agency of subversion. That is not all. ARCAND TIEUP The Duplessis Union Nation- ale party, which is the direct ereation of the provincial Con- servatives, was in power in the three years which preceded the outbreak of war. They then ac- tively promoted pro-fascist pro- paganda, via Adrien Arcand — publicity director for the Quebec Conservatives for the 1985 elec- tion campaign, editor of Mr. Du- plessis’ organ in Montreal, L’I- lustration, and at the same time “chef supreme” of the Canadian Nazi party. Arcand is now in- terned: but— The present Duplessis govern- ment is at present engaged in negotiation with one of Arcand’s chief lieutenants, «still at large, with a view to instatinge him in the. government set-up. (Let M. Omer Cote, Duplessis” provincial secretary, deny this if “he sees | fit to do so!) MISREPRESENTATION Unprincipled misrepresentation of the military situation has be- come a chosen weapon of our political reactionaries. Should the government con- clude that the military situation. warrants the sending overseas of the NRMA force, Canadians will give it full support. The labor-Progressive Party will do all in its power to mobilize sup- port for the measure, in French as in English Canada, while con-= tinuing with all vigor the struggle to redress the burning grievances and inequalities, so- cial and economic, which beset French ‘Canada, and without Canadian unity will perforce remain halt- whose solution our ‘ing and vulnerable. Trail workers in electing those they consider best able to rep- resent them and is essentially a blow directed at trade unionism. As such it is vigor- ously resented by the workers of Trail. The third lie, that Trail CCF members are dominated by the LPP is not new to Trail CCF members. The Trail delegate to the last CCE provincial conven- tion was called a “Communist stooge” in answer to his efforts to carry out his instructions and work for a policy of working elass unity. It indicates the depths to which Trotslkyite ele- ments within the CCF have sunk in an effort to purge every unity proposal in their party. The last lie, that Mr. Herr- idge has betrayed the CCE and has failed to organize and strengthen the CCF clubs in this district, is, to say the least, re- = Ca HASTINGS BAKERY 716 EAST HASTINGS HAst. 3244 : Let Your Baker Bake for You Purity — Quality volting to the CCE and people of this district. Mr. Herridge’s activities on behalf of the trade union movement are well known throughout B.C. And it is also known that the West Kootenay CCF has been the strongest organized district ‘in B:C. until recently, when the anti-unity policies of the executive began to-indieate fear of interference by the membership, thereby hindering the organization. This fear of the membership con- trasts with Mr. Herridge’s re- fusal to take any steps without approval of the rank and file. The refusal of the CCE pro- - vincial executive to accept Mr. Herridge’s nomination is giv- ing -West Kootenay - workers new experiences and knowl- edge in the struggle against those who split the ranks of the people and betray the cause of the workers.
