Worth: Canada’s ereat trade
union movement has proven
conclusively that only a coali-

forces can defeat Tory reaction
in the next federal elections.
The false claim of the CCF lead-
ers that their party ‘speaks for

North, as the first testing
ground, has shown that the labor
movement and reform liberalism
can work together when there is

Undoubtedly great masses of
rank-and-file CCE’ers will take
to heart the lessons of Grey
North; it is they who must re-

its speeches since the election
has shown that it is not prepared
to accept what is self-evident.
