Labor will not ac- cept the “Socialism or chaos” slogan of the €CFE. On the con- trary Canadian Labor on this May Day will advance slogans to bring labor in Canada in line with the gains already achieved in the liberated countries. These aims will be mainly ex- pressed through such slogans as: “Amend P.C. 1003 and P.-C. 9384,” “Success to the & Francisco Conference.” “For Labor - Management - Govern- ment Co-operation,” “For Unit- ed Nations Unity,” “Full Pro- duction Until Victory Achieved,” “For Labor Part- nership In Government.” Yes, labor can chalk up great gains on this May Day, 1945. However, labor realizes. that GAINS DO NOT COME OF THEMSELVES, THEY MUST BE FOUGHT, FOR. Reaction ~ and if thes is still powerful, Tories should succeed in win- ning: power in the next election all of the gains of labor would be placed in jeopardy. That is why labor can and must see to it that genuine labor represen- tatives are elected to Canade’s prepared to next Parliament, co-operate with other progres- sive forces in the formation of a democratic coalition govern- ment-to the exclusion of the Labor Tories and _based on Partnership.

Treatment of Rumor The soldier-editor of a weekly: publica- _ tion at the Letterkenny Ordinance Depot here has pages about a fantastic rumor which ‘periodically goes the rounds of the near-by civilian population. : In a slightly doped-up question-and- answer column, it was recently asked if it were true that between an area of the reser vation and’ a mountain close by “‘there is a huge underground airport, complete with thousands of drums of gasoline and sup- plies, such as silk parachutes? - parachutes’ (Howard : -three years: The batior replied: “This shows he | diculous rumors are.
