this week on completion of

LPP election
rally Sunday

Nigel Morgan, LPP provin-
cial leader and candidate in
Vancouver Centre, will out-
line his party’s program and
introduce all LPP eandidates
in the GreaterVancouver area

at a final election rally, to be
held this coming Sunday, Sep-
tember 16, at 8 p.m. in Pender
Auditorium, 339 West Pender

Street.

Auditorium Wednesday night
this week, in the course of a
slashing attack on Premier
Bennett’s “giveaway policies.”

Morgan said he received his
information on the pending
coal giveaway from members
of the United Mine Workeers
in the area.

“The California press this
week has been discussing an-
other pipeline to carry Cana-
dian oil directly to California
for U.S. industrial expansion,”
Morgan continued.

“A new batch of Forest
Management Licenses . are
ready to be finalized. . Addi-
tional shipments of unmanu-
factured wood pulp and forest
resources are being contem-
plated once’ these licenses go
through — which means still
more B.C. jobs down the pipe-
line,

“Premier Bennett has call-
ed the election now in the
hope of getting his govern-
ment safely re-elected as the
first step to proceeding with
these deals and carrying out
his. secret agreement with
powerful foreign monopolies
for an extension of the give-
away.

“The future of British Col-
umbia hangs in the balance.
Shall we export our resources
and with them our jobs, or are
we going to use them to ex-
pand our own industrial de-
velopment? Are we going to
develop the vast power po-
tential of this province in a
way that will benefit the peo-
ple of B.C., or are we going
to drift along for another five
years, content with being mere
hewers of wood and drawers
of water, with all its conse-

quences in terms of. employ-—

ment, business opportunities,
and professional and scientific
development?

“Next Wednesday, Septem-
ber 19, the people will go to
the polls to express their
opinion on these questions.
We need elected representa-
tives in Victoria who can be
counted on to halt the give-
away of our hydro, gas, oil,
forest and mineral resources.”

Eden govt
threatens
Nasser

LONDON

The Conservative govern-
ment of Prime Minister Sir
Anthony Eden_ threatened
Egypt with naked aggression
this week. :

Only a few days after Brit-
ish Communist leader John
Gollan had said that the in-
stinctive Tory imperialist re-
action to nationalization of the
Suez Canal had been for Ang-
lo-French military interven-
tion and warned that peace
was not safe in the hands of
the Tories, Eden proved the
charge correct in his bellicose

speech to the House of Com-
mons.

Eden said the Western Big
Three — Britain, France and
United States — were setting
up a new international asso-
ciation to run the Suez Canal.

If Egypt could not be made
tg accept multi-national con-
trol of the Suez Canal “by the
pressure of international opin-
ion,” he said, then it must be
made to do so “by other
means.”

Labor leader Hugh Gaits-
kell who, in the earlier debate
on August 2, encouraged the
governnient in its stand, said
that during the intervening
weeks “wide differences of
opinion have emerged in the
country and there has been a
very animated and serious de-
bate in the press.
