| eos as | LPP OPEN LETTER Demand Winch take arms race stand A demand that Harold -Winch, CCF candidate for Van- couvér East, take a stand for an early summit meeting to end the arms race, a cut in arms spending, and disengagement of Canada from NATO “if he expects the working people of Van- couver East to vote for him on March 31” was made this week by the Labor-Progressive party Vancouver East constituency committee in an open letter to the CCF. “Vancouver East has always been a working man’s riding and we want to kep it that way,” said the LPP letter. “The Labor-Progressive party is anxious to cooperate with others in this federal election to prevent the Tory, Liberal or Social Credit winning this seat. For that reason we have decided not to run a candidate at this time. “However, we feel there are important issues of public policy which need to be clear- ed up and for that reason we are addressing ourselves to you through this open letter. “We in the LPP welcome the stand taken by the CCF on such issues as trade and rec- ognition of China and unem- ployment. We feel that on these issues we can work to- gether. However, there is one ‘Vital issue on. which the CCF and Harold Winch have failed the best interests of the work- ing people. | “We refer to the official ‘CCF support of the arms pro- ‘gram and NATO by which ‘Canada remains tied to the ‘U.S. foreign policy of John ‘Foster Dulles. It is not enough ‘that Harold Winch should ‘criticize Dulles. Even the cap- italist press is doing that to- ‘day. All will agree that Can- vada could face national suicide if we remain tied to Dulles | MIURA, J] ROOFING f ; REPAIRS ‘@ Duroid, Tar and Gravel Gutters and Downpipes : Reasonable NICK BITZ MU. 1-6031 Subject ‘brinkmanship,’ But the link that ties Canada to the Dulles policy is our membership in NATO, which CCF leaders support together with the Lib- erals, Tories and Social Credit. “It is the opinion of the LPP that for one who seeks to represent an important work- ers’ riding like Vancouver East it is necessary for that person — in this case Harold Winch — to take a forthright stanqg on the vital issue of peace. We believe such a stand should:, “Support an early summit meeting and agreement to end _the arms race; “Cut the $2 billion arms budget and use the money to create jobs, raise living stand- ards, cut taxes; : “Disengage Canada from the Dulles-dominated NATO war alliance; “Oppose U.S. bases and speak out against U.S. missile bases in Canada, as the Labor party is doing in Britain; “Condemn U.S. bombers fly- ing over Canadian territory with nuclear weapons and end U.S. control over Canadian air force.” PATRONIZE CEDAR FUEL & TRANSFER Phone: 566-R-3 _ Cedar, B.C.

Water Board commissioner Theo V. Berry, in charge of the matter is being pressed by the board to speed up demoli- tion of the house. Hitch is that the house is Occupied by an unemployed worker with a wife and six children, and Berry is loath to institute evic- tion proceedings. : Extension of the Water Board premises requires extra parking space, under a city bylaw, and Ald. Anna Sprott warned the board last week that it can expect “no mercy” from the city. If eviction proceedings are started, what will happen to the unemployed tenant and his family? A Pacific Tribune reporter called at 2225 West Tenth this Unemployed father of six facil eviction asks, ‘Where week and talked with Jimmy Burton, the jobless tenant. ‘TY'd be glad to’ move, but what landlord will rent to an unemployed man with six children?” said Burton. “You can’t blame a landlord for re- fusing to rent in such circum- stances. If I was a landlord I'd probably fee] the same Way.” . “Have you — been told to move?” eNO. ssaid= Burton: “The newspapers. mentioned the eviction threat, but I have, heard nothing directly. Tl Say this — I have nowhere to g0 and I certainly don’t in- tend to have my children and my furniture tossed into the street.” Burton’s wife, Grace, had scne to hospital for treatment that afternoon.
