Neorg CN and the Charter of

After a sharp tussle at the 21
Commonwealth leaders’ confer-
ence in London a final communi-
que was adopted in which the
African leaders failed to get a

‘firm commitment by the British

government to hold within three
months a constitutional confer-
ence to bring majority rule to
Rhodesia,

However, they did force a
pledge from Prime Minister Wil-
son that if there was noprogress
in his negotiations with Rhodesi~
an Premier Smith in “a reason-
ably speedy time,” he would be
ready to “consider promoting
such a conference.”

This limited pledge on the
stormy issue of Rhodesia, which
still leaves the British govern-
ment many escape clauses, left
almost all the African leaders
unsatisfied.

Like last year’s communique
set out what the African leaders
had demanded, including their
call for a constitutional confer-

i

ence, appeal for the release of
the prisoners and suspension of
the present constitution, It re-
affirmed its opposition to any
unilateral declaration of inde-
pendence by Rhodesia’s Premier
Smith on behalf of the white
minority.

The only Commonwealth lead-
er to disassociate himself com-
pletely from the Rhodesia section
of the communique was President
Neyere of Tanzania,

The communique also reaf-
firmed last year’s condemnation
of South Africa’s apartheid poli-
cies and “took note of the widely
expressed regret at the failure
of the Portuguese government to
give due recognition to the legiti-
mate political aspirations of
Portuguese territories in Africa?

Prime Minister Pearson who
arrived back Monday night from
London is expected to report to
Parliament on the work of the
Commonwealth conference.

LABOR ROUNDUP:

Public ownership of oil
industry urged by labor

In its brief to the royal com-
mission on gasoline prices, the
B.C, Federation of Labor has
questioned the much-advertised
“performance-boosting addi-
tives” of the gasoline sold, In
the opinion of the BCFL any as-
sessment of the gasoline price
structure must also include an
assessment of the properties of
these gasoline additives, Other-
wise they are merely advanced
to create ‘an atmosphere of com-
petition” where none exists,

“We find our major oil com-
panies,” states the BCFL brief,
“competing not on price, but on
beer glasses; beach balls and
tiger tails. These are now part
and parcel of the massive adver=-
tising campaigns which give the
semblance of competition with-
out the substance, Thus are hun-
dreds of thousands of B,C, motor-
ists deceived.”

The Federation brief advanced
the idea that the real answer to
the problem is not gimmick ad-
vertising to cover up monopoly
price control, but in* public own-
ership of the oil industry.”

The salmon net fishermen of
the United Fishermen and Allied
Workers Union this week voted
over 78 percent rejection of the
Fisheries Association two-year
contract terms and salmon prices
offered. °

A UF&AWU press release
stated that in the rejection of the

Association’s proposals, the sal-
mon fishermen have “,.. in ef-
fect, instructed the Negotiating
Committee to go back to the bar=-
gaining table and get a better
offer from the Association.”

In addition to increased fish’

prices the union’s demands in-
‘clude:

“Workmen’s Compensation
coverage paid by the companies
for all net fishermen effective
this year; a voluntary Medical
Plan paid for by the fishermen,
with the companies making ad-
vance payments in 1965 and with
the companies paying half the
cost in 1966, We are prepared to
bargain on these terms but we
consider the Association must
make. a further move if we are
to finalize an agreement.”
