Readers Discuss Labor Unity

Dear Friend:— - - A

I was happy to see that a dis- | *¢@l activity than ever before. [made the supreme _ sacrifice.
cussion has been launched The unfortunate thing to date,|Those who were fortunate
through the columns of your however, is that the CCF leader- | enough to return have learnt the

‘paper on the important question
unity in the forthcoming
provincial elections. To my mind

of labor

no questio1 is: more important to

labor in .the
than that it should enter
epproaching contest clear in

immediate future
the
its

objectives and with a united vote.

Since my veturn to
from’ overseas

widespread feeling

Canada
Ihave found. a
ef despair

among the workers in B.C. This
despair arises from the obvious
fact that the working people
have not achieved unity in their
ranks on the political field. Dur-
ing the federal election campaign

it was impossible for

anyone

with an open mind not.to See that

what the workers wanted more
than anything else was a chance
to cast a united vote. When the
results of the federal vote be-
came known there was consider-
able bitterness in the ranks of
labor. The reason Was obvious.
Even the blind could see that had
the CCF and the LPP reached
electoral agreement and prevent-
ed a split labor vote that more

_labor representatives would have.

been elected to Parliament.

This is the simple lesson the
federal election taught us. No
attempt on the part of some of
the CCF leaders to explain away
their reasons for refusing elec-
-toral unity can answer-the de-
mand of the workers for a unit-
ed vote in each riding.

The LPP is to be congratulated
on its timely appeal to the CCF
to start preparations now for the
provincial elections, and to en-
sure that the disunity of the
federal contest is not carried into
the provincial field. The plan is
simple. Let there be an under-
standing reached that in each
riding only one progressive can-
didate will stand for election, and
that a united vote will be gath-
ered for that Person. Herein lies
the g¥eatest chance for our suc-
cess. This is the policy that
would arouse enthusiasm among
the workers of British Columbia
and bring them into greater pol-

need for cooperation. I’m certain
that the youne CCFer from New
Westminster who died at my
side in the last action I was in
would echo my words if he were
alive: “Unity brought us victory
on the battlefield over fascism;
let-not disunity bring defeat’ to
the progressive people in the
postwar period.”

Yours for progress,

PTE. MAURICE RUSH.

Plans Outlined
For LPP Picnic

The third annual United Na-
tions pienic, an event which has
become a high point in the sum-
mer activities of the progressive
and labor movement, will be
held this year at Conferedation
Park, on August 5, commencing
at 11 a.m.

A wide variety of attractions
feature the program this year
and included in these will be a
musical porgram, folk dancing
and songs of the United Nations,
wrestling, boxing, track and
field events, novelty races, ponies
for children, and many other
games and amusements.

The Miss United Nations con-

ship has turned a deaf ear to the
appeal of the LPP and to the
Wishes of «the working popula-
tion. Instead of considering pro-
Posals for unity they have
launched an attack on the LPP
and are busying themselves writ-
ing long winded articles opposed
to unity. They have trotted out
all of the ola anti-cooperation
eguments, and have not refrain-
ed. from using a few of the
choicest red-baiting arguments
of the past.

For @ movement which claims
to have cooperation as the basis
of its policy and thinks so much
of the word that it is incorporat-
ed in its name, the CCF through
its official leadership, is show-
ing very little understanding of
the true meaning of the word.

Tt would be fatal for the B:c.
progressive movement if the CCF
were to persist in its ‘policy of
going it alone in the provincial
€iections and refuse to cooperate °
with the LP Pand trade unions.
Labor’s strength in the next
legislature will reflect the meas-
ure of labor-progressive unity
achieved. It is the task of every
thinking worker—whether: in his
elub, union, or on the job to
speak up for unity. We may not
have long before the election
takes place. The time to talk, |
work and fight for unity is now.
