Recount denied in Burrard: judge gives seat to Socred licly brand the Socred movement. Judge McGeer in county court this week ruled against a re- count of ballots in Vancouver- Burrard, where CCF candidate- Grand MacNeil lost to Social Cre- ditor Bert Price by 246 votes. In- formed circles had predicted that a recount would have given’ the seat to MacNeil, thus revers- ing the resent position ‘of .the two parties and putting the CCF ‘out in front by one seat. as a group determined to remain in power by legal trickery. Should the Socred govern- ment adopt such a course,’ the CCF will appeal Judge McGeer’s verdict by asking a writ of mandamus from the Supreme Court. In effect, this would cite _the judge for contempt of court, “for refusing to carry out a re- count after it had been ordered The CCF immediately asked bY the Supreme Court . -tributors. the Social Credit government to -order another count under Sec- tion 148 of the Election- Act, which states that the dieutenant- governor can remove ‘‘contradicr ea tions and ‘impediments.”’ Failure -of the Socred government to ac- cede to this request would pub- The recount had been ordered . by Mr. Justice Clyne on an earl- ier mandamus writ after McGeer had originally refused a recount on a technicality (the constitu- ency had been referred to as Burrard instead of Vancouver- Burrard), ok sill —==—0 01010 The LONG and = Whet—he tried to sell you @ Sat het east?

The Painters’ Union, also on strike since June 12, voted down the 15 cent wage increase pro- posed by the building contrac- tors, since it still fell short of the $2 hourly rate already agreed upon by approximately 40 build- ing contractors in the Greater Vancouver area. Further meet- ings between LRB officials and the Painters Union in an effort to reach agreement are schedul- ed for this weekend. Ranks of striking and locked- out workers in Viancouver were swelled this week by the strike of the Film Exchange Employees Union at the Davie and Burrard distributing center.

And we must not let ourselves be distracted from the basic principle by our indi- vidual. conceptions on social, economic and political problems. We must firmly believe that it is desirable and necessary that the two great systems, as they are, should live’ side by side in peace.” ; Dr. Endicott emphasized that in some cases, a misconception about the meaning of the ex- pression ‘‘converging move- ments’? had posed some obstacle in the development of the peace movement, _ . ‘We have never claimed!”’ he said, ‘‘and do not claim today; a monopoly of peace. _. We have the greatest re- spect. for the integrity of all those who seek peace sincerely, though their proposals and views might differ from ours. And we want to discuss those views with them frankly and openly, with only, one aim in sight: peace. : “When we speak of converg- ing movements, we do not mean: converging on the Canadian Peace Congress, on the peace movement. We mean: converg- ing on the common aim of peace. Only with that understanding can we achieve friendship and, ‘unity with all those who want peace in our country.” The second important note of the discussions was emphasized Fellowship of Reconcllay with a Buddhist monk fro lon, In Berlin she met with we resentatives of Catholic am oie testant Women’s organizall’ from West Germany; with @ iy man Catholic teacher from I ‘ic who told her that “‘the Cathe, women of Italy cannot recone the idea of (war with our ? gious principles.” iv Numerous examples were te en of other developments © ‘wat side of the peace movement. serving the cause of peace: an statement of Britain’s A? pie Bevan to the effect, that wat British people will not, ma 2 the on China.” The position 3 ost - British Labor party in ° phe ‘tion to the Bonn agreement. i a call of the Quaker world ment for the end of the war, The statements for it coming from the eth Hh Church in the United state The fact that 72 percent 0 sted women polled in the un out States by the Ladies Home | wy fot nal declared their desité ; peace. “While we take no “stand aid ; wards political parties,” a Miss Jennison, “we cann® recognize that the outcome st the elections in the three © jp ern Provinces~of Canada se: effect a repudiation of Wh® happened as a result of ais armament drive.
