regime in Britain being retained
by the British Labor Government.
Although elements of the labor
movement have in the past laud-
ed the stand taken by Labor
members in the British house
during the premiership of Win-
ston Churchill, that section was
silent in the face of the evidence
presented at the meeting.

Foreign Minister Bevin has
already come under the sharp
fire of labor and progressive
circles for his obstructionism
during the Council of Foreign
Ministers meeting in London
quite recently, and was instru-
mental in creating the conditions
which made a satisfactory solu-
tion of many of the problems
facing the Big Three impossible.

The use of British troops to
hamstring the upsurge of free-
dom by the liberated colonial
peoples themselves, and expres-
sion in lecal labor circles pro-
testing Bevin’s policies indicates
a growing resentment at contin-
uance of the reactionary Tory
policies.

“Housing Crisis” will be the
main topic at a mass election ral-
ly sponsored by the Labor-Pro-
gressive Party in the Bay Thea-
tre at 8 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 14.

LPP Provincial Leader Nigel
Morgan and Maurice Rush, La-
bor-Progressive candidates for
Vancouver Center, will speak.

people to unite to smash the
efforts of eastern big business
groupings that were trying to
strangle the whole north coun-
try. Stating that the finding of
‘jobs. and prosperity for all

Prince Rupert people, including
its four thousand new citizens,
was the key election issue,
Mickleburgh outlined the his-
tory of the port to show how
such monopolies as the CPR had
deliberately strangled Prince
Rupert and the Grand Trunk
Railway after the last war. He
showed how recent events were
storm signals that the same in-
terests were trying once again
to reduce Prince Rupert to a
forgotten city by-passed by
world trade, into which a most
empty and antiquated train
would chug twice. a week, with
the government absorbing the
deficits.

“Our role in the war has been
of such significance as is now
revealed with the release of
hitherto confidential information
that we might well ask ourselves
if the story of the war on these
shores might not have been
grim indeed had it not been for
our wharfs and railhead stand-
ing here ready. Our role in the
peace can be just as great, but
already we are faced. with a loss
of ten million dollars annual in-
come from last year’s.”
Mickleburgh outlined six es-
sential steps to be accomplished
to guarantee Rupert’s future and
pledged himself, if elected, to
leave no stone unturned te aid
the people win these points.

To Retard Skeena Industry

Bruce Mickleburgh, LPP candidate for Prince
opened the Labor-Progressive Party’s campaign to win la-
bor representation at Victoria for
ency of shipbuilders, fishermen,
with a fighting radio broadcast in which he called on ‘the

aid to the Prince Rupert fisher-
men’s cooperative in the develop-
ment and _ stabilizing of this
basic industry. Secondly, main-
tenance of shipbuilding. ~ Third,
new industries on the basis of
government provision of cheap
hydro-electric power and realiz-
ation of Rupert’s destiny as a
deep sea port. Fourthly, upkeep
and surfacing by Victoria of the
Skeena highway, plus modern
ship service north and south
from Rupert and to the Queen
Charlottes, plus long overdue air
service. Fifthly, government
low-rental housing projects, new
high school and hospital, ete., to
replace wartime construction, all
long overdue. Sixthly, comfort-
able and secure lives for people
through improved labor laws
and social security.

In its fight- to
victory for this program, the
Prince Rupert LPP elub has
opened downtown election head-
quarters in the new Stone
Block( and is canvassing the
city for financial contributions.
A series of radio broadcasts
announced elsewhere in this
issue are bringing the LPP pro-
gram into every home and “to
the fishing grounds and logging
camps.

Mickleburgh is running
against ex-Premier Duff Pattulo
of “Root hog or die” fame.
Pattullo, arch-opponent of co.
Operation with Ottawa in war or
peace, has reached an all-time
high in unpopularity in his own
constituency and local observers
concede Mickleburgh an excel-
lent chance of defeating him.

burgh’s prolonged fight for civie
unity in the fignt for the peace,
Pattullo’s organization of Lib-
erals and Conservatives partly
disintegrated when Duff, the so-
called_ independent, threatened
them with a shotgun choice of
supporting him or he would split
their vote anyway.

Several leading Conservatives
and Liberals, aware that Paitul-
lo had never said one word in
the house concerning Prince
Rupert and the North, resigned
rather than support him, and
Mickleburgh is expected to carry
shundreds if not more of
Pattullo’s former votes. :

With the Labor-Progressive
campaign eliminating the chance
of a Pattullo victory, the work-
ers of Prince Rupert are con-
fronted with a choice between
Bruce Mickleburgh, known to all
of them as a consistent champ-
