Shipyard 2 Contracts _ Continued > Despite current reports that the Ottawa government's ac- tion in continuing shipbuild- ing to ease‘ the critical situa- tion caused by the sudden end to the Pacific War. in the opinion of a spokesman for “the Boilermakers and Iron Ship- builders Union, the situation is Still critical, and cancellation of layoffs will ‘not affect’ the hun- dreds of workers who received their termination notices during the past week. “While we welcome this. move on the part of the government.to meet the immediate situation,” Bill White, Boilermaker — presi- dent told P.A., “we are still, go- ing ahead with our plans for. a. conference with Premier Hart, in Victoria on’ Thursday, and. with the City Council on Friday.” White stated “that. while the government’s action will allay the situation for a period, it is no substitute for a reconversion program. He warned that if the Situation is allowed to deterior- ate, there will be trouble, al- though the unions are attempt- “ing. to do all in their power to prevent an outbreak of vresent- ment reaching the proportions of disorderly demonstrations. D. B. Carswell, director gen- eral of shipbuilding for the fed-. era] department of munitions and supply announced on Tuesday that shipbuilding will be con- tinued on the contracts at pres- ent held by Vancouver shipyards. “We want to prevent anything so drastic as laying off all the shipbuilding men,” he said. “We will try to keep things balanced.” It appeared obvious that the reason for this action by Ottawa was the immediate reaction of organized labor to the sudden cancellation of contracts and shipbuilding. Organized labor is determined to press for open discussions on future. in- dustry and reconversion, and plans to hold conferences be- | tween government - management labor representatives would be | carried out. White also pointed out that men who had already been laid off from the shipbuilding indus- try would not be greatly affected by the Ottawa ruling. “A number of our union. mem- bers have already been through Selective Service, but many of the thousands -of jobs “that Selec- tive Service has ben talking ebout seem to have disappeared,” he told P.A. Cases were. cited where men have reported to two or three plants on instruction from selective service only to be informed that the jobs are no longer available and that the plants concerned are laying off men instead of employing them. It appeared obvious that selec. tive service records’ will have to be brought up. to date before any realistic picture of the job situ- ation can be had. : The union has been informed that the completed hulls will be turned over to War Assets Corp- oration for disposal, and one or two ship operators are of the opinion that at least some of the displaced workers may again find» employment while comple- tion of constructicn on unfinished T in the Balkans as totalitarian come as-a shock to the working people of the world who -had greeted with such enthusiasm the great Labor victory in Britain just a féw weeks ago. Bevin’s speech was reportedly cheered to the echo by the Tory opposi- tion. Such enthusiasm is under- standable. For Bevin’s position is essentially the same as Op- position Leader Winston Church- ill, who just a few days previously had also turned the guns of his cratory on the “Communist ter- rorism sweeping Europe.” There is' widespread confusion now as to the reasons.for the similarity between the foreign policy of the Attlee government and that of its Tory predecessor. | Yet an examination of the Labor Party’s past record in the field of foreign affairs, coupled with its first moves upon assuming of- fice, indicated strongly the: direc- tion Attlee and Bevin would take. For one thing, Bevin has made mo move to replace Lord Halifax as British ambassador to the.Uni-_ ted States, or Reginald Leeper as ambassador to Greece. Both have very smelly reputations. Halifax was one of the original Cliveden Sang who engineered the Munich betrayal. Leéper was in charge of the British embassy in Athens at the time of the intervention in Greece. Had Attlee and Bevin any intention of making a drastic new orientation in British for- eign policy, Halifax and Leeper would have been the first to be kieked out. The fact to remember is that the big monopolists of Britain are exerting tremendous influence on policy, and certain of the “old Bevin Foreign Policy In Best Tory Tradition - LONDON— British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin's first speech on the Labor government's foreign policy, in which he blasted the newly-formed democratic governments and Communistic, must have guard” of the Labor Party, tra- ditionally in favor of a strong Empire which means a few more crumbs on the tables of a favored section of the British working: class, are only too willing to yield to such pressure. They apparently count on the fact that full im- plementation of their domestic program of reforms and national- izing of industry will outweigh in British labor’s eyes any weak- messes in foreign policy. That they are mistaking the temper and desires of the British worker is obvious. One of the main reasons for Churchill’s*de- feat on July 5 was British Labor’s hatred of his reactionary foreign policies. Six years of war had taught them the indivisibility of peace and collective security, the need of having democratic and stable governments in Europe as a guarantee against a resurgence of fascism and new wars. And a reactionary foreign policy by Britain which aims’at maintain- ing the police government of Greece or turning back the ag- rarian revolutions now in pro- gress in the Balkans, is made no more palatable simply because it is being carried through by a La- bor government. : It would be a mistake to have too many illusions as to how far the Labor government can go. But it is certain that British la- bor will not allow Mr. Bevin’s dangerous maneuvers to go un- challenged, and that a big strug- gle will be waged to bring Brit- ish foreign policy back into line with the demands and realities of the world situation. ; NO OOOOOOOOOOOOO* 4 DOO OOOO ODO OOOO OOOOOOS DOO©O®OO®o®® CLASSIFIED DOOD OOO®O©©62©©2 64 FOD\OOOOOO©OOOOOO 4 4 MOYOY. et )OOO@© OO: ye OG A charge of 50 of five for each insertion cents for each cents lines_or less with 10 additional line is made for notices appearing in this column.
