weather conditions, many of the
meetings were poorly attended, it
“was evident on all sides that the
people of Skeena-are looking for
big developments in the postwar.
+ With the old liberal member Olaf
~ Hanson out of the electoral race,
“a large section of the electorate
are looking over programs and
people, rather than parties and
nostrums. There is a, growing in-
terest in the program and stand-
ard bearer of the Labor-Progres-
Sive Party, mainly because the
LPP advances a pragram that
most closely approximates the
needs of the people.
The liberal association which re-
eently tendered a banquet to Olaf
Hanson on his retirement, passed
a resolution in favor of—bring-
jng the Prince Rupert highway up
to standard specifications; con-
necting the Skeena highway with
the Edmonton-Jasper highway;
and connecting the Skeena high-
Way up with the Alaska highway.
Many of the electorate in the
rorth say,
to get very far with it when he
was in... I think we'll try this
man Mickleburgh to get things
done.”
There is also strong resentment
amone the people of Terrace at
the action of closing down and
stripping the Terrace hospital.
While this hospital was built for
military needs, the people of the
area see no reason why arrange-
ments could not have been made
with the provincial and local au-
thorities for the maintenance of
the hospital for civilian needs.
Taking into consideration the de-
plorable lack of rural hospitaliz-
2tion in Northern B.C., the clos-
ing of the Terrace hospital has
caused deep concern in the area.
The Kitsumkalum Farmers In-
“well that is a fine |

Recently Ma~ McInnes of Prince
George, noted “Marxist’’ of the
CGE in Northern B.G:, has been
on a tour down the Ene. expound-
ine the need of “socialism now?
and a doctrine of self-sufficiency
and isolationism for Canada. Mr.
McInnes is a successful lumber
dealer and business man, whose
brand of “socialism” left the bulk
of his audience cold.
The LPP clubs in Burns Lake
and Decker Lake are building up
a large circle of LPP support in
these communities, and are quite |
optimistic for a Wiciepureh Vic= |
tory. Owing to the spring thaw
and the necessity of closing the
roads, it is difficult for the peo- |
ple to get around at this time of
the year, but these clubs are lay-|
ing plans for a bang-up campaign
just as soon as, travel permits.
And in Skeena the question of
travel and distance is the greatest
problem.
Skeena has its sights raised for |
the election of a labor member |
of parliament who is prepared to
cooperate with all other progres-
sive forces in getting things done
in laying a solid foundation of
postwar progress and prosperity
for Skeena.—TOM McEWEN.

Signers of the pact included
Vicente Lombardo Toledano for
labor and Jose Lavin spokesman
for Mexican industry. They prom=
ised to elaborate a detailed pro-
gram to be presented to the gov-
ernment in the hope that it wall
become the government’s national
economic plan.
The pact has been bitterly at-
tacked in the righist press, Ul-
times Noticias, saying that “the
Communist Trojan Horse calcu-
lated to infiltrate Communists in
the fortress of capitalism.” The
newspaper cites the “strange co-
incidence” between the Mexican
pact and the one signed by U.S.
labor and business leaders, and
quotes an article by the Spanish
Trotskyist Luis Araquistan on the
objectives of the Iondon world
labor conference in support of its
contention.
