we! ~ HE HAD THE QUALIFICATIONS! ‘Full citizenship’ demanded > in letter to Mrs. Fairclough | William Stewa rt, Com- munist candidate in Vancou- ‘ver South, last week sent a letter to Mrs. Ellen Fair- clough, Tory Minister of Immigration, in which he stated that: “I have received post cards from people in my constituency claiming that a policy of discrimina- tion is in effect in Canada against hundreds of foreign born Canadians.” “J have been in contact with some of those who have made these allegations and it appears that there is full justification for their charges. The letter asks Mrs. Fair- clough if she considers this discrimination in keeping with the public image of John Diefenbaker, who at great pains to appear be- fore the Canadian people as the champion of civil rights and Canadian democracy.” It concludes by demanding that the Dept. of Immigration cease this political discrim-. ination and “accord full citi- zenship” to those who have been deprived of it. Issue is survival! Cont'd from pg. 1 We can solve none of our great problems if we are not a free and _ independent country, in charge of our economy, our foreign policy, our diplomacy. A Communist vote says these. things as no other vote can do! Only the Communist candidates get to the heart of the crisis of our - time. If there is a Communist candidate in your riding, vote Communist, for the party of peace and survival. 6 * * In all ‘other constituencies, vote for the New Democratic Party candidates. Hundreds of thousands of votes for the NDP candidates and the election of a large number of NDP candidates would begin to break the death - grip on Parliament held for so long by the Tories . and Liberals. It would unfreeze politics, help to restore Parliament to the people and take it out of the hands of the U.S.-Cana- dian clique of monopolists who run this country for their own profit hungry in- terests. ~ We realize that the NDP leaders have failed to make the fight for Canada, and the fight for peace, the real issues of this election. Some of them have sullied the NDP. by spreading anti-com- munist poison. But the real thing is the NDP Party—not its leaders. The NDP belongs to the people who built it, who pro- vide the finances, who look to it for leadership, who want to make it the popular alternative to the Tories and Liberals. The time will come when the workers and farmers who built the NDP will change its policies to meet their needs. Help to take Parliament out of the hands of the old- line parties, and open the road to peace and progress, by voting NDP where there are no Communist candi- dates. * * Sd Some people are saying: “T¢ I am against the Tories, I should vote Liberal, other- wise I will waste my vote.” That is wrong and very shortsighted. To think that way is to fall victim to Lib- eral propaganda. There is no difference between Diefen- baker and Pearson. They stand for the same policies; they are birds of a feather. And your vote — which brave men have died to win —is not for sale; it is not a counter in a bingo game, it is not a dollar on a political horse- It is your sacred way of voicing your opinions! Use your vote to defeat the Tories and Liberals! Use it to: defeat the Social Credit party, the party of the “right,” tainted with John Birchism and anti-Semitism, an anti-labor party, an anti- democracy party. * ~ * The greatest political need of our country today is for a mass united people’s move- ment, for peace and Cana- dian independence. The Communists are part of that movement. Nothing can separate us from it. Canada needs a new Con- stitution and a Bill of Rights, a new pact between English and French Canada guaran- teeing full national rights and equality to the French- Canadian nation. Canadians need a Parlia- ment which is in the hands of the people, and not a tool of the big American and Canadian monopolies. There are threats to demo- cracy from Tories, Lib- erals and Social Credit. But there are great defend- ers of democracy—the ordin- ary people of Canada, who love their country and want to see it prosperous and at peace. This election is a testing’ time. Vote against the Tories and Liberals, who have sold us to the United States and placed peace in great danger. Vote against Social Credit, the party of the ultra-right! vote New Democratic Party as a way of breaking the Tory and Liberal political monopoly. Vote Communist where our party has candidates. Let us take the destiny of our country into our own hands! The Issue is Survival! fis = CALLS FOR UNITY ‘Canada’s survival at stake McEwen tells large rally — A crowd 6f 1,600 people enthusiastically greeted Communist candidate Tom McEwen and NDP provin- cial president Tom Berger last Sunday, June 10, at the Powell St. Grounds. The occasion was an all- candidate meeting, which was sponsored by the Van- couver Labor Council and the Vancouver Unemploy- ed Council. George Hahn (Social Cre- dit) Stewart Chambers (Tory), and Jack Nicholson (Liberal) were roundly booed, and the continuous heckling forced Nicholson at one point to make the state- ment that if he were elected, he would press for a policy of trading “with the whole world”’. McEwen told the meeting that the three key issues in this election were the physi- cal survival of Canada, the political survival of Canada as a nation, and the economic Survival of our country. He pointed out that on . point one our survival under either a Tory or Liberal gov- ernment was highly question- able, since both parties were committed to nuclear arms; that, on the second point, “integration means. stagna- tion”; and, on point number three, that only the people of Canada have the right to decide “what Canada will manufacture and with whom we will trade.” -economy would put Tom Berger said tha NDP disagrees with thi line parties’ theory thé! pool of unemployed is ne sary,” and that a pla Canadian citizen to W0 He charged that “th ure of this country 8 decided by elected rep! tatives, but by large bu! interests’? and asked for support because ‘“neith the old line parties restraints on the COIP elite.” : However, he marred very fine statements — in reply to a question, dulged in red-baiting, that the NDP did not Communist support ang pudiated it because of fundamental difference tween the two parties: Earlier, in reply to 4 lar ~ question, McEwe? also stated that there some basic difference tween the NDP and munist parties. “However,” McEwe? on, ‘the New Dem?
