Disunity

“Unity of the CCF, LPP, and
all other progressive minded
people in Kamloops riding: would
undoubtedly achieve victory
over —.the , coalition candidate”
stated Charles H. Cook, veteran

candidate at a -public: meeting
held in Kamloops: Masonie Halli
last Monday night.: 3

“Unity in. Germany would
have stopped Hitler from reach-
ing power. Unity of the demo-
cratic, peace-loving forces out-
side of Germany would: have
crushed - Hitlef. when Germany
invaded the “Rhineland, and
/saved .Spain. What a different
world we would be living in, if
such a coursé had been follow-
ed,”,. Cook asserted. ~

Jack Phillips, a returned vet-

‘the coalition for its failure to
tackle the problems of recon-

The meeting will bring to ithe

ported the demands of organ-
ized labor for all three points,
neither’ the Coalition nor the So-
cial Credit party has affirmed
their support of these major
questions. While the Coalition
Government sent an official rep-
