ONLY the name will be on the ballot for Communist Party candidates and not their party affiliation — as it will be with Also don't be misled by a disruptive Maoist group calling itself ‘Communist Party of Canada ( Marxist-Leninists).’’ They are there to confuse you. Vote the following Communist candidates if you live in a riding in which they are ‘Comox-Alberni — Burnaby-Seymour — TURNER v. )X campaign for new policies Cont'd from pg. 1 system that can’t even provide jobs, and are more willing now _ that ever before to listen to new _ ideas put forward by the Com munists. Sean Griffin, Vancouver South, has concentrated on the prob- lems facing young people. A university graduate and a ship- yard worker, Sean has addressed _ several college groups, high school and all-candidate meet- ings in the past few days. He told a Brittania High school meeting sponsored by the Area Council that the LIP and “The mining companies say it's only right they pay no income tax--due to the high risks they assume...’ Shang Gg PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1972—-PAGE 12 OFY programs set up by the Liberal government are meaningless; that university en- rollment is down because youth cannot get jobs to help finance their education while federal grants for students are being cut. He pointed out that the Com- ‘munist program calls for a ship- building program which would utilize the talents of thousands of professional and skilled tradesmen, with benefits to the whole community and Canada as a whole. Eric Waugh, in Burnaby Seymour, told the audience ata packed hall in Seymour Heights school, that the only way we can create jobs is by nationalizing the big corporations. He said the Communist Party is the only party that says we must get out of NATO and | NORAD. Although the danger of © world war has lessened, there are still many danger spots in the world which could blow up into war, and military pacts such as NATO and NORAD only add to the dangers. Waugh, also a_ shipyard worker, pointed out that if Canada created a shipbuilding program it could make five extra jobs for every one directly involved in the building. In Vancouver Kingsway, Bill Turner and his committee workers have concentrated on the price gouge by the food mono- polies, and have spent several afternoons distributing the Pacific Tribune and. other material before the doors of the shopping centres. Turner told an all-candidates meeting that food prices have risen by 40 per- cent since 1968, profits for com- panies such as Westons, Safeway, Super-Valu, etc., have never been higher, but that the price gouge and tax gouge is bearing more heavily by the week on the average citizen. As the Tribune went to press Wednesday, the six Communist Party candidates were sche- duled to appear in a total of 37 meetings, TV and radio pro- grams, with several such ap- pearances scheduled for one day in the case of some candidates. The measure of the impact the candidates have made in their platform and TV appearances is shown in that they receive the most questions from the floor, and often are asked to remain long after the scheduled hour to answer many questions, particularly by students. The Maoists, a group which has no discernible program for Canada or Canadians other than red-baiting and disruption, have turned out in full force (all 20 of them) to heckle— not the Liberals or Tories, but the NDP and the Communist Party candi- dates. In the provincial elec- tion they screamed their slogan “Don’t vote’’, but for some reason (probably explained by an inflow of finds,) they are now putting up some candidates who to date have advocated. no program other than taking over ‘‘by the gun.”’ Merchant marine now urged at labor rally Members of the six maritime unions which sponsored an election rally.in Templeton school Monday evening were not given the opportunity of asking a Liberal party representative any questions, for nary a Liberal showed up. Only*the NDP, the Communist Party, and the Conservative candidates were present to outline their party’s program for a Canadian merchant marine. Bill Stewart, of the Marine Workers union, introduced the topic by describing how successive Liberal and Con- servative governments had deli- berately sold out the shipping industry in Canada. ‘Since 1945’’, he said, ‘“‘we have succeeded in dismantling the Canadian merchant marine and dismantling all the sub- sidiary industries which were running full tilt during the second world war. The ships that haul away our natural resources pay no taxes to Canada, and_ carry away our jobs.” Roger Howard of the NDP said it was plain crazy to see Canada, with one of the longest coastlines in the world, without its own merchant fleet. He pointed out the Darling Report (a govern- ment paper) had urged more than two years ago that Canada’s coast trade be reserved for Cana- dian vessels; that permits should be directed towards ~ replacing foreign vessels by Canadian vessels. He asked ‘When is the Liberal govern- ment going to do something about it?” Maurice Rush, Communist Party candidate, said the near empty shipyards on B.C.’s west coast stand as a monument to the duplicity and the broken promises of the Liberal and Tory governments. Less than two years after cabinet minister Ian McKenzie gave his rosy pledge of always maintaining a Cana- dian merchant fleet, the Abbott plan to exploit and export our natural resources came into being. The first casualy was our — merchant ships. Rush said the cost of setting up publicly-owned facilities to build and maintain a first class merchant fleet would be only about 20 percent of what we are spending on so-called ‘defence’, but the benefits which would accrue to’the whole Canadian economy from such a ship- building program would pay us back a thousandfold. * OK OK Delegates to the recent Vancouver Labor Council meeting endorsed a resolution — that the Labor Relations Board be instructed to hold open hearings on the validity of the — Christian Labor Association of Canada as a legitimate trade union. The request will be sent to — the provincial Minister of Labor, Wm. King. A representative of the Retail and Wholesale Union said he hoped, now the Mediation Com- mission has been done away. — with, that the Labor Relations Board as it is presently constituted, will be the next to go. Another delegate said the Labor Relations Board had provided a ‘field day’’ for ~ companies. To obtain certi- fication has become increas- ingly difficult for the Board uses the ploy that certain appli- eations for certification are “inappropriate units.”’ In other business the VLC heard that the ‘‘hot’’ label has. been removed from Kayline products, and that Dares Foods, Kitchener, Ont., were still on strike and needed support:
