‘For peace—withdraw from
NATO, ban nuclear weapons

By TOM McEWEN
peaking in Toronto recent-
S ly, Tim Buck, National
Chairman of the Communist
Party stated: “If either of
these parties (Tory or Lib-
eral) goes back with a clear
majority, that government
will accept nuclear weapons.”
That warning sounded by
Tim Buck should be heeded
by every Canadian concerned
with peace and national sur-
vival. It is already implicit
in the continued hedging and
evasions by both Diefenbaker
and Pearson on the subject of
nuclear arms in Canada. -
During his Edmonton
speech back in February
when questioned on Bomarc
installations at North Bay,
Ontario and Mont Laurier,
Quebec, Dief stated that “nu-
clear warheads would be
available in 30 minutes to an
hour - but for security
reasons couldn't elaborate.”
Subsequent statements by
Dief, cagey as they are on

the subject, all add up to the
fact that as, if and when
Washington insists, Dief
stands ready to comply. But

to say so during an election -

campaign would lose votes,
hence the demagogic double-
talk about peace and nuclear
weapons. :

And in the Liberal scrim-
mage for popularity and
votes, Pearson declares ‘no
nuclear arms in Canada now,
but future conditions may dic-
tate changes in this stand”
—another way of saying that
should Washington so decide,
the Liberal echo of John Fos-
ter Dulles in Canada during
the King-St. Laurent regime,
stands ready to oblige.

Thus it should be clear to
all thinking Canadians that
Tim Buck’s warning is not
based upon idle speculation,
but upon definite Liberal and
Tory policies and pronounce-
ments which drag Canada in-
to the Pentagon nuclear club,

‘For new national policies—
put an end to U.S. domination

By WILLIAM STEWART
H*: you heard a Single

politician running for
any of the old line parties
in this election in Vancouver
raise the question of the Port
of Vancouver?

I haven't!

A stranger to the city
would be sure, on reading
the campaign speeches of
local candidates, that Van-
couver was land-locked.

Why is it that the question
of a Vancouver port policy is
so studiously avoided by the
big business parties?

It is avoided because the
life of a deep sea port is en-
tirely governed by the na-
tional policy of a country and
both the Liberals and Tories
are in complete agreement as
to the need of. preventing any
real debate on national policy
in this election.

They are in complete agrec-

ment on this because the
giant American - Canadian
monopolies they represent

are worried that Canadians
