GREAT LEADER Speaking on behalf of the na- tional committee of the LPP and as the Ontario leader, leslie Morris (whose address will ap- pear in the next issue of Na- tional Affairs Monthly) traced the historic role that Tim Buck has played in CGanada as the builder and leader of a scientific socialist party. Morris said that he was con- fident that under Tim Buck’s and his party’s leadership “that the opportunism and self-seek- ing, the alien influences and the partisanship, which hold back the fullest development of inde- pendent labor political action as the indispensable partner in the) ¥ democratic coalition will be de-|& feated . Morris stated that the LPP|® “fights for the no-strike policy and sees the need to combat the o narrow trade union policy of the GGF strike fomenters.” FOR POSTWAR PROGRESS Emphasizing the policy of the i: party he leads, Tim Buck stated that it would continue to work and devote its energy for the election of a postwar federal government of democratic coali- tion. Such a government, he said, would be able to work in HAst. 0340 766 E. Hastings Hastings Steam Baths Vaneouver, B.C. Always Open.

Buck welcomed the recent statement of the president of the Bank of Nova Scotia that income, production and employ- ment must be an a higher level in the postwar years than in 1939, and pomted out that there were many Liberals who were willing te cooperate with labor for better Canada. At the same time he scored the state- ment of M. J. Coldwell, national CCF ieader, who has stated that he would welcome a federal coa- lition government composed of Tories and reactionary Liberals. The LPP leader made it clear that he and his party would support a postponement of the federal elections if the course of the war made such an event necessary.
