Page 10 — May 26, 1945 McKean Urges Unity Of Progressive Forces _ Scoring the CCF defeatist attitude toward the promises of the post-war, Fergus McKean, LPP Provincial Leader, addressing a constituency meeting in Penticton under the auspices of Yale Constituency Committee for Alan Clapp, federal candidate, stated, “His- tory has shown that depression ‘does not breed SOS MSc, but instead it breeds fascism.” “We now have the oeparmmlny to move forward,” McKean con- tinued, “but the defeatist line, adopted: by the CCF, offers no hope but depression to men who have fought against fascism.” “Tn a coalition, dominated. by the progressive forces of the trade unions, Labor Progressives, sincere unity minded CCF, and Independents, maintain for the Canadian people that unity and progress that rep- resents the bright hopes of the peace.” He stated that the LPP has eleven candidates in the field in BG. ten of whom are trade unionists and the other a farm- er. This, it was pointed out, is in imarked contrast to the CCF who virtually have no trade union or labor representatives among their leadership. “The great hope for Canada is that as an outcome of this election, the people elect a gov- ernment in which labor has a share equivalent to its magnifi- cent contribution to the defeat of fascism in Hurope.” McKean concluded. “In the markets of the devastated countries, of India, of China, and of South America, are the opportunities to maintain full employment. Under govern- ment supervision and planning this war has proven that this is possible. It is no less So in time of peace.” Alan Clapp. candidate for the federal constituency of Yale, Stated that the policies and pro- gram of the Labor Progressive Party imply an equivalent of what is taking place in the inter- Pational field. “From the lead established at the historic conferences of the Big Three, and followed up by the democratic governments now in existence in almost all Huro- pean countries, it is essential that Canada elect a government which includes the greatest pos- sible labor representation. Pro- gressive measures are planned, but the voice and power of labor will be necessary to make the necessary amendments and se- cure that social security which is implicit-:in the promise. of the future.” “Partly Dry Mill-Run Fix -- $5.50 Per Cord HONEST VALUE Fuels 2239 Cambie FA. 0469 Pender.

LONDON, May- 17—National- ization of “most of the heavy in- dustries” im Czechoslovakia and especially the huge armament works such as Skoda has been made essential by the war, Hu- bert Ripka, Czechoslovak Minis- ter of Foreign Trade, declared here this week. Termine eround- less the suggestions that his gov- ernment’s plans to socialize in- dustry were the results of Soviet influence, Ripka stated that state control of private enterprise would be extended “even if no Soviet Union existed” as a great power. Nationalization, he said. was the only program capable of fulfilling the needs of Czechoslo- valda. ALLAN CLAPP LPP Candidate for Yale Eliason Scores CCF Speaking from the floor 09f an election rally held in Cran- brooke for Harvey Murphy, LPP Candidate for East Kootenay. A. QO. Eliason, local leader of the CCF and former CCF pro- wincial candidate, stated: “The policyt of the CCF is a ruinous one; if this policy is pur- sued it can bring only national disaster upon the Canadian people. “Within the CCF.” SEliason continued, “I haye endeavored to bring about the unity which your party has advocated, and with which our local €CEF rank and file are in almost unanimous ac- cord.” “At our District Convention at Jafiray. we passed a resolution requesting our Provincial and Federal executive to explore the possibilities of promoting such unity, but nothing was done about it. If the CCF were willing to be part of such unity, we would have been assured against vote splitting.” NORTH STAR AND PACIFIC BRANDS B.C.
