ELECTION ROUNDUP ei:

Trade unionist elected
to council in Rupert

After a lapse of several yeal's,
labor again has a voice on Prince
Rupert City Council as a result of
the election of Darrow Gomez,
member of the United Fishermen
and Allied Workers Union, who ran
as a trade union candidate in last
week’s civic election.

Darrow with 531 votes was fourth
of 10 candidates contesting four
council seats. A second trade un-
ion candidate, W. D. Griffiths, ran
sixth with 393 votes. Both candi-
dates were offically endorsed by
the UFAWU and backed by organ-
ized labor.

other UFAWU member, Pete Jene-
wein, was elected to the council in
a four - way contest, polling 701
votes to take the second of two va~
cant seats. ;

Rossland voters with five candi-

dates offering themselves for three

‘One does not wait for
fights to win it’ __ Manifesto of the Second

World Peace Congress to the Peoples of the

election. j

Elsewhere in the province, and
particularly in the important Lower
Mainland centers of Burnaby, New
Westminster and North Vancouver,
progressive candidates did not fare
so well. Although most held and
some bettered their previous votes,
none succeeded in winning elec-
tion.

William Turner, sole Labor Elec-
tion candidate for Burnaby Muni-
cipal Council, with 1337 yotes, aa
tered his total last year, but Mrs.
Catherine Marsh, one of two Labor
Blection candidates for school
poard, with 1094 vetes, fell short
cf the vote she polled last year.

A second Labor Blection candi-
date, Ken Richards, polled 685 votes
in his first bid for school board.

Two Labor candidates contesting
North Vancouver aldermanic seats
were unable to break through the
machine hold of the clique domin-
ating the city, Damon Biseman pol-
ling 489 votes. and Godfrey Creech,
357 votes. However, the. influence
of their hard-hitting campaign was
reflected in passage of a referen-
dum for continuation of the ferry
service.

In New Westminster | Hugh
Clarke, despite his impressive re-
cord and his popularity in the Royal
City, was again unsuccessful in his
bid for 4 council seat. ;

Montreal, Dec. 2—If the war doesn’t get any worse Canada is going

on the great gathering.

“Despite the rubble, despite the
fact that two-thirds of the city
is still in ruins, there is no gloom
in Warsaw,” continued Gordon.
“The people are rapidly rebuilding
their city—the six year plan calls
for complete restoration of »the
capital—and people who build must
have faith that peace will conquer
war.

“Yes, the Polish people want,
peace, hope for peace, work for |
peace But make no mistake about
it—if American imperialism starts

Poland and the millions of people
between Shanghai and Prague who
are building a better world will

Ray Gardner described the ban-
ning of delegates by the Attlee
government which caused the sud-
den shift of the congress from
Sheffield to Warsaw. “When Russia,
bans a peace “congress, we will
declare her a warmonger; until
Britain or the United States allows
a peace congress, they must ex-
pect the same treatment.” he said.

Terming the congress “the
brotherhood of man in actuality,”
Gardner pointed out that 81 na-
tions were represented, some 20
more than are: in the United
Nations. “The congress was con-
ducted in nine languages with
simultaneous translation,” he
said, “but the one basic language
was the language of peace. It
is amazing how much can be
conveyed by a handclasp.”

“Never in history has there been
such a universal movement dedi-
cated to peace,” he said. “At War-
saw one felt a mighty determina-
tion to prevent war; a conviction
that differences between countries
can be solved by negotiations.’

Peace Congress urges

letters to St. Laurent
on China recognition

TORONTO

Reporting back of delegates to the recent World Peace

Congress will be linked with
as part of an overall peace
support given to the petition

This was the decision reached at
a conference of the national coun-
cil of the Canadian Peace Congress
held in Toronto last Sunday and
attended by several delegates to
the World Peace Congress.

Announcing the decision to the
press, Miss Mary Jennison, Con-
gress secretary, stated that the
Congress had already appealed for
“thousands of letters” to be sent
to Prime Minister St. Laurent urg-|
ing recognition of China as a step!
to ‘peace. The Congress, she said, |
was also urging its supporters to
interview their MPs. |

The campaign got a _ rousing
send-off at a packed meeting in
Toronto’s Massey Hlall where over!
1,300 people individually signed a
letter on recognition, after Dr. J.)
G. Endicott, Congress chairman,
affixed his signature.

“Similar signed letters from.
points across the country should.
be quickly forwarded to our of-,
fice at 49 Walker Avenue, Toronto,
so that we can send them to Ot-
tawa without delay,’ Miss Jennison
said. _

“This

action for peace with China
campaign based on popular
to ban the atom bomb.

campaign. We have already writ-
ten to the government many times
seeking recognition of China. We
are simply asking“ several thous-
and Canadians to join us in sign-

ing such a letter so as to give the
necessary emphasis in overcoming
the government’s silence.” 4
