ENDORSE CRIMEA

CONFERENCE
The conference unanimously
expressed its whole-hearted en-

dorsement of the Declaration of
the Crimean Conference and
pledged the support of its mighty
organized forces to work power-
fully in all lands for realization
ef the important principles that
Crimea sembodies, stated Mor-
gan. “A resolution to this ef-
fect, he related, “received the
greatest ovation of the entire
12-day session; and the confer-
ence directed greetings to the
leaders of the United Nations as
well as to the commanders of
the armed forees of all our al-
lies, including Canada’s General
Crerar.”’
FUTURE OF ACHIEVEMENT
Summing up his impressions of
the results of the conference,
Morgan asserted: “Undoubtedly
the new World Trade Union
Federation will play\an impor-
tant part in furthering world-
Wide cooperation to utilize the
rich resources of the world for
the benefit of its people.

“In the liberated and colonial
countries, as well as in all back-
ward areas, the trade union
movements will be helped to
their feet and assisted in their
struggles for democracy and

higher living standards.

“The association that the con-
ference claims with the framing
of the peace, -with the -new
World Seeurity Council—both in
its economic and security as-
pects—represents “ the associa—
tion of 60 million organized
workers with the achievement of
future peace, security and or-
derly economic progress for peo-
ple the world over.”

Manitoba CCF MLA’s

Score Partisan Line

Statement of protest at the reckless policies of the CCI

leadership, by two of the five

CCE MILA’s in the Manitob;

Legislature, gave new and striking evidence last week of th.
rising tide of disgust with CCF isolationism among the peopl
in general and within GCF ranks. .

B. R. Richards and Dr. D. L.
Johnson, the two members in-
volved, made-the statement in
the Legislature after they had
been prevented by the GGF pro-
vincial executive from making
their position known to the CCF
membership in any other way.

Latest reports indicate that
the CCF in The Pas constituency,
represented by Richards, have
iully supported their MLA’s
position. Statements by nation-
al and provincial ©CF leaders at-
tacking the two men have been
characterized by the latter as
“further evidence the CCF is
being controlled from the top.”

It was particularly noticeable’
that in Winnipeg the Tory daily
“Winnipeg Tribune” attacked
the two MILA’s in its editorial
columns out of concern for ”poli-
tical honesty.”

In the statement Richards and
Johnson accused the CCF of be-
ing in the “ludicrous position of
preaching depression doctrines
in a situation entirely new, and
of trying to apply prewar poli-
cies to the postwar world.”

Stating that the CGF policy
of running candidates in every
constituency in the next federal
election -was irresponsible and
would split the progressive vote,
the MLA’s said they were con-
vinced this would. result in the
election of ‘a more reactionary
House of Commons than the
Canadian people either desire or
deserve” and called on the CCF
to reconsider its policy of ‘no
coalition with other parties.”

The statement emphasizes
that continued unity and streng-
th of the United Nations is a
first responsibility and basic to
hopes of domestic economic and
social progress, and that friend-
ship with the Soviet Union is of
special importance for this—

”?

ism.” In addition there is th
necessity of continuing thi
struggle against the threat 4@|
fascism and reaction at hom.
even after the defeat of the Ge:
man and Japanese brands.,
“Tt is our conviction,” th
MLA’s asserted, “that the lead
ership of the GCE has failed 7
take imito account these necess}
ties of present day politics.”

The CCF leadership was:
charged with being “cynics
about the entire United Nation
idea, if not actively hostile ;
any international cooperatio
short of a vague utopian fede
ation,” and of bem: “anti-Sc
viet, suspicious and narro:
minded in the extreme.”

The CCE slogan of “Socialis
Now” was termed “anrealisti |
in the extreme” by the statemei
Which continued: “We are col
vinced that neither the CCF Dy |
the Canadian people are reat
for the responsibilities of socia”
ism ait this time. We are co
vinced that there is, neverth
less, a progressive alternatiy
within the framework of capita
ism. This demands the seth
participation of workers, farme
and other progressive forces
the next government of Ganada

The MiLA’s stated that by r
fusing to consider this altern™ :
tive, “the CCF is throwing aw
its chance to make a positi
contribution to Canada’s fut.
and is inviting the success
reactionaries who may lead —

into fascism.”

Richards and Johnson made
clear that their criticism w |
levelled at the official leads”
ship and not the rank and ¢
members of whom many, th |
believed, do not approve of pr
ent policies and would repudi: |
them if given chance of fra’

“not an ideological problem but
a matter of common sense real-

discussion. pe
