CIO Demands Plans

To Meet Reconversion

The CIO executive board,

following a meeting in Wash-

ington, D.C., last weekend, made public a -series of resolu-
tions embodying its principal program on the human aspects

of reconversion.
In a resolution addressed to:
the President -of the United

States, the CIO board charged

that the general decline of pur-
chasing power of thes workers is
seriously impeding the morale
and efficiency in the war on

Japan. :
“Unemployment, increasing
job insecurity and decreasing

weekly wages to meet a rapidly
rising cost of living, do not pro-
vide the basis for an expanded
program of post-war economy of
full production and full: employ-
ment,” the resolution reads.

The . resolution “warned that
“unrest and ugly resentment -of
the workers” is- apparent
throughout the country due to in-
action on wage policy.

‘The CIO called for a 20 per-
cent wage adjustment, a minj-
mum wage law of 65 cents to
eliminate sub-standards, passage
of $25 for 26 weeks unemploy-
ment insurance bill. Another res-
olution called for a concentrated
effort for a guaranteed annual
wage.

The fight of the merchant sea-
men for a 55 cent hourly mini-
mum wage was endorsed and all
CIO organizations were called
upon to help the National Mari-
time Union campaign to ‘win

Communists in the struggle of
France to free itself from Nazi
and . Vichy oppression, in the
course of a press conference in
Vancouver this week.

“The French Communists were
one of the most popular and pa-
triotic forces fighting in support
of the resistance movement,” he
declared.

public sentiment throughout the

country.
The new, Ball-Burton-Hatch
Bill, condemned by the trade

union movement of the USA as
anti-labor to an extreme, was
sharply criticized as an attempt
to enslave labor and a move of
reaction to smash trade unions.

in Filn
Leading local trade unionists
this week were filmed discussing

a new National Film Board pro-

duction on world security. The
film, to be released in November,
is called “Now the Peace.” It
graphically portrays the progress

of the people’s efforts to achieve-

world security from aggression
and war during the last génera-
tion. The now-defunct League of
Nations is contrasted with the
new mechanisms to guard the
peace, such as the Bretton Woods
monetary agreements and the
World Security Charter of San
Francisco. The ‘plethora of talk
which cloaked the inaction of the
great powers under the League
of Nations set-up is stripped
aside, and a main theme of the
film is that unless the powers,
great and small, act in concert in
accord with their responsibility
to guarantee economic security
to all peoples of the world, then
the new organization will meet
the fate of the old League.

The remarks of the local labor
leaders form the substance of a
discussion trailer which will
accompany the film through the
trade union circuits of the Film
Board. Many of those who took
part praised the film as one of
genuine interest to the labor
movement. ‘“Now. the Peace” was
produced under the direction of
Stanley Hawes, production direc-
tor of the National Film Board.

Recriminations Fly
At Petain’s Trial

France’s Petain trial went
Palais de Justice ringing with r
ures in‘the pre-Vichy dance of

into its second week with the
ecriminations from leading fig-
death of the French Republic.

The notorious Marshal, whose great age has not ‘mellowed

his vicious hatred of democracy,
symbolizes the Vichy regime set
up by the big capitalists of
France to sell their country-to
Hitler rather than see a people’s
anti fascist front come to power.
Ex-President Lebrun and ex-
Premiers Reynaud and Daladier
all bear a major share of respon-
sibility for the debacle of 1940,
yet, ‘unlike ex-Premier Blum,
they would not directly accuse
Petain of treason, even though
they attempt to unload all the
responsibility from themselves.
In this they follow the same
fatal pattern of thought that al-
lowed them to take Petain into
the French cabinet as a base of
cperations for his treachery. Re-
cent highlights of the trial scene
were:

@ The dramatic return of Pi-
erre Laval, arch-traitor -who
turned hundreds of thousands of
Frenchmen over to Nazi slave
gangs, well-remembered for his
entanglements. with British Mun.

Robeson Seeks
New Deal

In a cablegram sent today to
Britain’s new Premier, Clement
R. Attlee, Paul Robeson, Chair-
man of the Council on African Af-
fairs, hailed, the sweeping elec-
tion victory of the British Labor
Party and declared that the La-
bor victory represented a sweep-
ing defeat for imperialist and re-
actionary forces in all countries.

“We believe,” the cable read,
“that -the unmistakable demo-
cratic expression of the British
people in the election represents
repudiation of manner in which
American, British, French and
other reactionary imperialist in-
terests were safeguarded by the
failure of the San Francisco Con-
ference to give real guarantees
for colonial advancement and in-
dependence.”

It was pointed out that al-
though questions of foreign and
colonial policy did not occupy as
large a place in the campaign as
domestic issues, the election re-
sults show an overwhelming pub-
lic support for liberal and pro-
gressive action in all spheres of
government policy.

letter exposes the desire of pow-
erful forces in the United States
to see the surge of democratic
forces -in France brought to a
halt, a policy which sent Leahy
to Vichy in the first place and
was responsible for the notorious
Darlan-Giraud deal in North
Africa.

CCF | Members

Are Expelled

A statement issued by the pro-
vincial executive of the CCF
which met last week stated that
10 CCF members had been found
guilty of “openly supporting H.
W. Herridge against the official
CCF candidate in Kootenay West
during the recent federal elec-

tion” and were expelled or sus-
pended.

Herridge, M.P. elect for Koot-
enay West, was elected by a
“People’s CCF” campaign made
up of CCF members and sup-
porters who backed Herridge’s

stand in favor of labor unity and .

objected to him being forbidden
to run by the CCF provincial body
when the local organization,
backed, ‘by local unionists, had
nominated him.

Three of the ten found “suilty?’
were expelled, three were sus-_
pended, and the resignations of
‘four others were accepted. None
attended to show reason why ac-
tion should not be taken against
them.

Expelled members are E. O.

Johnson, Trail: John Riddoch,
Nelson; and W. Cunningham,
Rossland. Suspended members

are A. W. Morris, Salmo; H. W.
Van Oene. Trail; and A. F. G.
Drake, Rossland. Resignations
accepted are from Mr. and Mrs.
James Quinn and Mrz. and Mrs.
Peter Steliga, Trail.

The charter of the Renata CCF
club has been called in. This fol-
lows the earlier withdrawal of
the charter of the Trail club and
the suspension of the charter of
the Warfield club.
