rersonal freedom, the Tories also
intend to attack the Labor cam-
Faign for nationalization and
controls by producing paper
schemes. of control which to the
uninformed elector may appear
to have all of the attractions and
none of the disadvantages of
nationalization. In this regard
previous proposals with regard
to basic industries, notably min-
ing, which were rebuffed in’ the
Commons will be brushed off and
made more presentable for the
voting public.

Prime Minister Churchill, as
the leader of the Tories, will at-
tempt to popularize his four-
year plan, and the White ‘Papers,
and will use the Education Act
as the solid proof that the
Tories have more to offer than
good intentions. They are pre-
pared for Labor’s attacks on the
abandonment. of the MHealth
paper with the retort that the
Labor representatives acquiesced.
The prestige and experience of
Churchill is_to be treated as the
main~asset in home as well as
foreign affairs. The claim will be
made that the man who organ-
ized the vast industrial war ef-
fort can turn with equal efficiency
to the problems of the postwar.

A substitute proposal was

Wilson, Ball and Gartlan and was
presented at the Council meeting

would result.

Bridges CaseEnds
In Union Victory

A seven-year fight to prevent
|the deportation of Harry Bridges,
prominent west coast labor lead-

er and internationally known
leader of the Longshoremen’s
Union, resulted in success this

week, when the United States
Supreme Court handed down the
ruling invalidating a deportation
order held against Bridges.

Justice William Douglas de-
livered the court’s 5-3 opinion
ywhich closed the books on an at-
tempt to ship Bridges back to
Australia on the trumped up
charge of “communism” instigat-
ed by anti-labor elements. Bridg-
es had previously been ordered
deported by Attorney-General
Biddle, who held that the leader
of the Longshoremen’s Union
was a communist. The decision
was appealed to the supreme
court, and the fight, which has
been supported by the entire
trade union movement, was suc-
cessfully concluded in the recent
supreme court decision.

WASHINGTON — No immed-
iate upward revision of the Little
Steel formula is contemplated,

elared recently after conferring

tion of the proposal. Councillors

ed their votes in opposition to
the substitute proposal and stood
in -fayor of accepting the

Unity Move
By Labor
In Norway

STOCKHOLM — The executive
committee of the Norwegian
Trade Union Federation has
recommended that the Labor and
Communist parties -enter into
negotiations with a view to mer-
ger. “It is extremely important
for the influence of the working
class on the developments in
Norway during the postwar per-
iod that all forces tinite immedi-
ately in one labor party,” the
trade union body declared on
May 23. ‘

Both the Communist and Labor
parties expresed willingness to
conduct negotiations, and the
Communist party has formed a
committee to “investigate the
possibilities for political and or-
anizational unity.” As yet no re-
sults have been announced.
will
and

The Communist committee
also inform King Haakon
Premier Nygaardsvold of - the
party’s work during the war and
its attitude on current questions.
The committee will also estab-
lish connections with other labor
and progressive organizations
and parties to assure the people
a government which can secure
the material and cultural needs

of the majority of the people.

The Communists’ attitude to-
ward the question: What kind of
government for Norway? was
presented in a letter to the*Labor

| party and the trade unions.

Power should be ins. the ‘hands
of the working people,, the\state-
ment said. A demécrati¢ Bovern-

fishermen should be organized by
collaboration among workers’
unions and political organiza-
tions, the cooperative movement,
farmers’ organizations, intellect

ual associations. This govern-
ment can include democratic rep-
resentatives of middle class par-
ties, the statement added.

The government’s job will be
to create good and safe condi-
tions for all, the Communists
explained, but the whole people

widen and build democracy, lift
the people to a higher cultural
level, secure progressive econ-
omy, build natural resources and
work for friendship and collabor-

ation with all nations.

In a special statement issued to the press, R. H. Dz

President of the National Council for Soviet-Canac
Friendship, scored the “‘undertow of anti-Russian propa;
da, as the council took the lead in the celebration of Canad

Soviet Friendship Week.

“We find a curious similarity
between the anti Russian cam-
paign carried on in this country
to that conducted in the United

| States by the isolationist forces,”

Davis continued. “The Nazi’s
most powerful weapon is propa-
ganda to create disunity between
the Allied Nations. Russia is
their main target. Numerous
Nazi agents are at large and at
work throughout the world.
Much of today’s anti-Soviet and
disunity propaganda can _ be
traced to the efforts of such
agents.”

A highlight in Vancouver’s
celebrations came as Max Chic,
executive director of the Council,
visited the city. In a statement
to the press, Chie stated that
“Russia definitely wants to trade
with Canada, but insists on long
term credits. He predicted that
within the next year, Canadian
businessmen, farmers, high
school and university students
will be making exchange visits
to the Soviet Union under a plan
which the Council hopes the
USSR will approve. The director
stated further that already it is
clear_ that extensive trade is pro-
posed - with Canada, including
airplanes,. shics, and electrical
equipment. a

Mayor Cornett, in a statement
released to the press, called on
the peeple of Vancouver to -co-
pay tribute to a

bring about a better understand-
ing between Russia and those
nations which fought alongside
her against a common enemy.” «
