English speaking Canada at
loggerheads, despite their com-
mon heeds; and has launched an
offensive, spearhead by the bil-
lionaire Ford corporation, to
break the newfound strength of
organized labor. Success for this
program of profiteering retro-
gression will lose the peace for
Canada, bring economic disaster
for our people, and give a new
lease on life to the forces of big
business fascism in this hemis-
phere.

_ On the other hand, defeat of

this program by an aroused

fighting for acceptance of
national responsibility for so-

strengthen Canadian demo-
¢racy and the fraternal team-
work of our peoples in the
days of peace.

The program for a democratic
solution of ‘dominion-provincial
relations was set forth in the

Tory sabotage and weak-kneed
Liberal temporizing and capitu-
lation to big business can only be
defeated by labor unity ‘and
peoples’ unity. Such is the stand
of the Labor-Progressive Party.

Rejection of such unity by the
leaders of the CCF can only mean
the alliance of that party with
those forces of monopoly to which
the CCF claims to be opposed.

That such an alliance in effect
exists, is all too plainly demon-
strated in the return of Tory-
dominated coalitions in Manitoba
and B.C., thanks solely to CCF
rejection of peoples’ unity, in
CCF leaders’ sabotage of the
movement for sympathy action
on behalf of the Ford strikers,
and in CCF support for ‘the.
atomic blackmail policy embark-
ed upon by Truman, Atlee and
Mackenzie King.

In world affairs, as at home,
the forces of big business mono-
poly are torpedoing the peace.
American trusts, allied with I.
C. Farbin industry, are seeking
te wreck the Potsdam agreement
on German industry, and are dic-
tating the policy of naked imperi-
alist intervention against Free
China. Monopolies such as Inter-
national Nickel: and the CPR
(which recently added to its di-
rectors that infamous man of
Munich. Sir John Anderson) are
behind the miquitous campaign
which is openly proclaiming
Canada’s North and West a base
for aggression against the USSR.

Only peoples’ unity, Jed by
united labor, can defeat the en-
emies of security and peace.

Our Northland - A Base
For World War Ill

(Time Magazine, Nov. 26, 1945)

Between the lines of a routine handout about an os-
tensibly routine military maneuver, Canadians got a quick
glimpse at the lowering future.

Next February 14, said the National Defense Depart-
ment, a small Canadian Army force, probably as few as
45 highly trained_officers and men, plus some hand-picked
observers from other nations, would start out from Chur-
chill, Manitoba, on the west shore of Hudson Bay, in a
maneuver called “‘Operation Musk-Ox.”’ In cabbed, high-
powered, 4%-ton snowmobiles, Canadian-designed for the
invasion of Norway, they would plow northward through
long Arctic nights and through temperatures 50 degrees
or more below zero. Three thousand miles later, after a
gigantic U-turn on the roof of the earth, “Operation
Musk-Ox”’ would arrive at Edmonton. The only breaks
in 81 days of isolation would be the visits of RCAF supply
planes bringing fuel and food.

Purpose of “‘Operation Musk-Ox,” said National De-
fense, is to study “winter operations generally in the Arctic
weather zone,” to assess ““the mobility_of over-snow ve-

not be won—or even fought—with tracked motor vehicles.
What soldiers knew was that the polar icecap was no longer
an impenetrable natural defense on Canada’s topside. So
“certain technical research projects in Arctic air and ground
warfare will (also) be studied ... The expedition is ex-
pected to obtain information of immense value.”’

What information—-bases? Sites for launching rocket
bombs? Reporters who asked such questions got only a
“What do you think?”
With once mentioning atoms, a cabinet minister somberly
said: “We all know that invasion of North America, if and
when, will come from the north, not the south ... We.
have to be ready . . . We have to be able to live, travel
and fight in the cold.”
