Pe, Labor's Choice

c¢Fg LECT JACK GREENALL” has become a popular slogan
in the New Westminster by-election where hundreds of

campaign workers and trade unionists are rallyine behind the
Labor Progressive Party candidate to send genuine labor rep-

resentation to the provincial legislature.

Greenall who has spent the greater part of his life in the
Royal City has earned the respect and admiration of all who
know him. He has always been connected with the struggles
of the people, from the unemployed struggles of the hungry
‘thirties to the struggles for trade union organization. His out-
standing record in the IWA where he has been instrumental
in bringing organizaion to thousands of loggers and sawmill
workers has won him wide support in the ranks of organized

labor.

s

Greenall stands out as the peoples candidate in this elec-
tion. He offers the people a chance to send a man to Victoria
who fully understands the problems of the New Westminster
area and is prepared to fight for those measures needed to
ensure full employment and industrial expansion in the post-
war period. He offers to organized labor a chance to elect a
man who has learned the problems of the trade union move-
ment from the ground up, who fully understands from years
of experience the legislative measures necessary to give labor

the lawful protection it should have.

He is a man who will go to Victoria, not as an opposition-
ist, but prepared to take a realistic view on every question and
prepared to cooperate with all progressive forces to support
those measures which are in the best interests of his constitu-

ents and the people of the province.

Jack Greenall stands out as the only alternative to the
coalition candidate. This means in fact that he is the only
alternative to the Lory choice, for it is evident that the
nomination of “Boss’’ Johnson was a concession to the Con-
servative half of the coalition. Mayor Mott, who was also a
nominee, would have been more acceptable to the Liberals.

Evidence of the strength of the campaign Greenall is
putting up is seen in the withdrawal of Fred Hume from the
race and the belated nomination of Eddie Mills in an endeavor
to split the labor vote. Hume a onetime Liberal who entered
the contest as an Independent after failing to get the support of
the coalition for the nomination, withdrew his candidature

this week.

It is generally conceded that the CCF nominee, also a last
minute decision stands little chance.

The issue facing the people of New Westminster is plain.
Tory choice Boss Johnson, or labor's choice, Jack Greenall.

Trade Unionists must join forces with all progressive

democratic forces in the riding to defeat Johnson and ensure.

labor representation in the provincial house. Splitting tactics
must be ignored and all forces rallied behind the candidate
who can and must carry the seat.

Elect Jack Greenall; . . Labor’s choice.

In Pass

| [PSSOEe is dead. He was-caught, tried and

shot by his Own countrymen. They hung his
foul corpse by the heels in the city of Milan and
the people tame to spit upon the remains of this
ersatz “Caesar.” He died as he lived, a craven
zoward.

In his last hours he tried to barten his al-
ready lost “Empire” for -his miserable life, and
eried a terror-stricken\“No! No!” to the firing
squad of Partisan patriots who carried out the
sentence. He has paid with his life.

The Italian Partisans
were not alone when ‘they
fired the shots that ended
the infamous career of this
cowardly braggart. The peo-
ples of Greece and Yugo-
slavia were there, all of the
underground fighters - who
helped to drive this rat to
his final corner. The cor-
ner where he did not even
fight like a rat but suc-

cumber in pitifull (Gf one
can use such a word in this
connection) fear.

[eats cannot expiate the crimes of these
criminals. They have caused too much suf-
fering, destruction, and murder. They have
violated every canon of human decency. There
is no punishment within human conception that
can fit their crimes.

Hitler is reported dead; they tried to make
him a hero in death, a man who died at his com-
mand post in Berlin. Hans Fritsch], Nazi propa-
ganda minister says he and Goebbels committed
Suicide. General Hisenhower debunked this de-
eeption when he revealed that the Feuhrer had
been ill for some time. Sick with the knowledge
that the monstrous machine he had built was
being ground to pieces under the steam-roller
of the Allied advance from Fast ‘and West. Sick
with the fear of the mighty Red Army erushing

Around Town

HE Parent-Teacher Federation has asked city
council endorsation of a resolution to be for-
warded to Canadian delegates at the San Fran-
cisco conference. The resolution asks Canadian

World Security delegates to
stress the importance of in-
eorporating into the curric-
ula of schools and univer-
sities throughout the world
subjects that will give a
deeper. understanding of
world problems and
people. In’ view of the vast
changes resulting from
events of the past few years,
this is a fine suggestion, and
it is encouraging to mote
that it comes from those
people most concerned with
the future of our schools, the
parents and the teachers.

If, during the past twenty years, our schools
and universities had given young people a clear
picture of the Soviet Union, an understanding
of the dangers of fascism, and a better insight
into the problems of world cooperation, how much
disunity, prejudice and distrust could have been
avoided. If our schools had followed a policy

of working to dispel such mistaken theories as -

racial discrimination, how much stronger would
our own country have been to withstand the
trials of the war!

But improvements in school curricula im-
mediately create another problem, that of ob-
taining better teaching personnel. The task of
teaching young people the principles of demo-
cracy is not one to be entrusted to a poorly edu-
eated, badly trained man or woman. School
teachers who were frozen to their jojbs because
of an acute teacher shortage caused primarily
by low wages which drove them to other pro-
fessions will be now free to change jobs on
September 1. It is to be expected many will
turn to other trades—and who can blame them!
Despite the popular misconception that a teach-
er’s job means soft hours and long summer
vacations, every teacher knows that evenings are
spent correcting papers and preparing the next
day’s work, and that the “long summer vaca-
tion’’ is more likely to be spent at summer school
than at the seashore.
