Bevii 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.

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.

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.
