of Vancouver said, “We must recognize that this is not a fight of
the Ford workers alone; labor right across Canada will feel the
impact if the strike is lost.’ Several auxiliary locals reported
having already given financial assistance to the strikers. A wire

Why Not Think lt Over?

Might we suggest to all good union men that it would be
a aeneible thing if they discussed with their families the ques-
tion of selecting a Union Funeral Home to serve them when
the need arises. This would save time and worry, and would
insure union families being served by Union Funeral Homes.

Speaking on the need for la~
bor unity to defeat the onslaught
of reaction in the months ahead,
Sister Morgan pointed to the
fact that he majority of voters
still cast their ballots for the
Liberals and Tories, and only by
a united campaign around one
candidate in a given constituency

can they be defeated. She cited
the constituency of Cowichan-

Newcastle where Sam Guthrie
was elected with a larger major-

ity than ever before because all W E
sections of the labor movement
there united to elect him,

“This is not only important for
winning elections,’ Sister Mor-
gan said, “it is clearly indicated
already that labor’s gains in the
future will not be won easily and
the utmost degree of unity will
be necessary to achieve them.”

Exception was taken to the
remarks of Mr, Harold Winch,
stating in replying to a previous
resolution on labor unity, “work-
ers can seab at the polls as well
as on the picket line” and the
speaker charged such remarks
are not in the interest of any
part of the labor movement. Sis-
ter Morgan further pointed out
that the question of labor uniy
is not simply a question for the
CCF and the LPP, but includes
the trade unions and all progres-
sive-minded people. District

Intelligence Office of the Combined Services

working as enemy agents were caught relaying
important information to the enemy across the
Pacific and elsewhre.

We weren't fooling when we published, during
this period, a series of announcements under
the title “Let's Cut the Cackle,” warning the
public to beware of spreading any items of
secret information that came into their posses-
sion.

On behalf of the Security Intelligence Office
we take this opportunity to thank all those
citizens who so sensibly and patriotically
responded,
