victory for peace, ca

A demand that the Canadian government “make a start
in the direction of peace by bringing home the units of
the Special Force which are now in Korea,’ was made last
week by Tim Buck, LPP national leader and the LPP na-
tional executive committe. “Peace, by withdrawal of our
troops and letting the Koreans run their own affairs—that
is the only sane and democratic policy consistent with the
spirit and letter of the UN Charter,” the LPP statement
declared.

Headed “Cease the Criminal War Against the Korean
People! Bring the Canadians Home From Korea!’’, the
declaration concluded by urging all Canadians to demand
of the St. Laurent government: “Bring the Princess Pats
home! Seat China in the UN! Stop the interference in
Korean..people’s. affairs!’

LPP call to people

“The Labor-Progressive party enters 1951 under the banner of the struggle for
peace,” declares a New Year message issued this week by the national executive commit-
tee of the LPP. “The five hundred million signatures to the historic Stockholm peace
petition is our guarantee that the camp of peace is the camp of the overwhelming major-
ity of mankind.”

Partial text of the message follows:

The coming year will be a crucial
one for our country and the
world. It will be the task and
the honour of the working class _
and its democratic allies to en-
‘sure that the momentous changes
to be made in Canada’s national
policies shall be changes which
help to prevent a third world
war.

agents are committing our coun-
