Units of the Indian navy at Bombay and Calcutta have been on strike, demanding equal pay and food rations with their white brothers. Thirty thousand work- ers in Bombay and CGaleutta joined the Indian navy men in sympathy strike action. Thous- ands of workers in Madras and Karachi are also on strike egainst starvation pay and con- ditions. The British government is re- ported to be sending a 3-man commission of cabinet members to investigate the Indian situa- tion and to raise again the Brit- ish version of “self-sovern- ment” for India. The proposals are Similar to that of the un; successful (Cripps mission in 1944, which was turned down cold by the Indtan people, since | it was little more than a carica- ture of Indian independence. FAMINE Irrespective of strict govern- ment censorship, the stark real- ity of a major famine in India will not be silenced oy force. Hunger and famine are no strangers to India and its teem- ing masses, but criminal govern- ment neglect, plus hoarding and black-market practices by the rich merchants, who enjoy the protection of the powerful Ma- harajas and the British-Indian government has precipitated what promises to be a major calamity for millions of India’s people. The present mass murder of Indian workers by British troops recals to mind the massacre of Amritsar, where under similar circumstances approximately 1,- 300 men, women and children were shot to death. The people of India have ex- pressed the conviction that the Four Freedoms of the Atlantic must apply to India also. and that India’s aspiration of “Swaraj’ (home rule) without the handicap of foreign impe- rialist restrictions and limita- tions must be achieved. Indian nationalist leaders have been vehement in their condem- nation of the use of troops against their people at all times, and especially so when these troops are assigned such “duties” under a labor government. Phone MAr. 7612 — . GREETINGS to Pacific Tribune from DR. W. J. CURRY {> —— Unions Continue The Fight For Shipbuilding Program The Federal cabinets answer to the B.C. shipyard unions regarding the construction of CPR boats at the coast is wholly unsatisfactory, according to G. §. Culhane, secretary of the Shipyard General Workers Federation. 5 “While your letter explains the matters governing the grant- ing of these contracts Culhane replied “i cannot accept the view that the government is power- less to act in such cireumstances. Certain jegislative proposals have been laid before the cabinet by the shipyard operators in their brief of July 28 1944, rel- ative to operation of Canada’s coastwise shipping. Further, similar representations were made by the shipyard workers through the means of a petition which was circulated in every ene of our shipyards and laid before the federal cabinet. Brief of the shipyard oper- ators referred to above recom- mended :— @ That the government should restrict the coastal trade of Canada to vessels now regis- tered in Canada and hereinafter built in Canada. @ That a national shipping policy should be enacted whereby Canadian shipowners engaged in foreign trade in and out of Ca- nadian ports will be encouraged by all posible means. including subsidies if necessary, to build and register their ships in Canada. @ That the government should give consideration, as a part of postwar policy, to the re- placement of obsolete vessels employed in the government ser- vices by new vessels built in Canada. @ That all Canadian vessels shall be built im Canada, and that the government make repre- sentation to the British govern- ment te establish a policy whereby educational orders for British Naval vessels may be placed in Canada in the postwar period. The reply from the Minister of transport lionel Chevrier for the Cabinet pleads helplessness “Matters of policy affecting this company (the Canadian Pacific Octopus), . are entirely in the hands of the management and the government is not in con- tro] in any way’’. This airy dismissal of all re- sponsibility by the Federal gov- ernment for the preservation and continued operation of the Ca- nadian Shipyard industry will not be accepted by the unions. Plans are already going forward to enlist the sympathy and back- ing of all sections of the popula- tion to bring pressure upon the govermennt to enact the neces- sary legislation, to force Cana- dian Shipping companies to build and repair in Canadian ports.
