eee Speaking at a Foreign Trade WeeéleCétimittée luncheon in New York City, Sec. of Commerce Henry A. Wallace stressed the need for lowering tariffs and permitting reciprocal trade after the war if the U.S. is to have full employment and prosperity. L. to R.: Pres. William K. Jackson of the Boston ‘Chamber of Commerce; Wallace and Dr. Fred I. Kent: LPP Candidate CallsFor New Deal In Skeena The new world-wide importance given to Alaska and the Canadian Northwest, and the vast unrealized potential in raw materials lies completely unexplJoited in the areas of northwest British Columbia coupled with the need for a gov- ernment pledged to the realizing of the full industrial and pro- ductive capacity of the wealthy northland formed the basis of a radio speech delivered this week “by Bruce Mickleburgh, Labor- Progressive Candidate for the federal riding of Skeena. e “To meet the immediate threat of Japanese attack and then to arm the powerful forces which will in all likelihood sweep upon Japan across the North Pacific, ‘the Alaska Highway was com- pleted with breathtaking speed end the Canol pipeline bégan to pour Arctic oil inte Whitehorse in the Yukon from where it was refined and fed into the gasoline tanks of thousands of planes, trucks and many other types of equipment. Closer to home, the Skeena Highway, which had been a political football for a genera- tion was completed under the stimulus of war at a cost of thirteen million dollars and air-| ports built at. Terrace, Smithers, - and other nearby points.” Pointing out that the planning that had so successfully met the demands of the war, Mickleburgh stressed the need for carrying the planning into the postwar period. “The huge prospective markets that exist across the Pacific can create a flow of trade far surpassing anything we ever dreamed of in the old days be- fore the war. We cannot find full employment in Canada for |: the people who today operate cur enormous. productive me- chine together with those who are coming out: of the armed forees unless we work within the framework of the United Na- tions, to repair the war-deva- stated countries and raise the living standards of the colonial and semi-colonial countries.” “The Pacific Northwest will become .a new. crossroads. of world trade,” Mickleburgh con- tinued, “and.in this setting we can look forward with confidence to a future for.Skeena. We must problem of raise our sights: from prewar levels. Those days are gone and Wwe must never let them return. We can help to make sure they do not, return. if we play our part in. uniting business, labor and agriculture throughout AI- aska, Yukon, and Northwest se 4 Urge Truman Return To -— FDR Policies “NEW YORK — Expressing alarm “at the growing ‘signs of dissention among the’ Big Three,” the United Office” and’ Prefessional Workers (GIO): ex- ecutive board this week called upon President Truman, to inter- |- vene'“to ‘restore Roosevelt’s for- eign Policy. as the mandate and guide to our State Department and to-our delegation at San Francisco.” Speaking on behalf of, 66,000. white collar workers, the board, - in session here, stated: . “On the basis of the purposes for whick it was called — the estublisnment of machinery for guarding world peace — the San Francisco conference has record- ed constructive achievements. However, the conference has be- come subverted from its stated purpose by permitting its delib- erations to become a sounding board for reactionary interests seeking to undermine interna- tional accord. The mounting signs of crises in international relations have had their sharpest expression in the admission of fascist Argentina to the confer- ence and in the current differ- ences with respect to Poland. “The establishel policy of the United States as expressed by the late President Roosevelt has apparently. been seriously com- British Columbia so that we in promised«if not abandoned.

Calling for realistic planning based on the requirements of the people of Skeena andthe north- west, Mickleburgh concluded, “In demanding. :the- fulfilment of the long. dream.of the full development. »of. the - north we shall not be‘asking for handouts.

Meeting in Oslo, the Labor party ‘stated: “The Nor- wegian Communists have proved that they stand on national and democratic ‘bedrock in the same Way as the Norwegian Labor party.
