gage in speculation, profiteer-
ing, or any form of politieal
corruption, held fully ac-
countable by law for their
criminal actions and to make
all MLA’s subject to recall at

the demand of their constitu-

I will go to the polls to elect
those who will represent us

next few years. Fateful years
they. will be too!

Eight years ago:B.C. voters
turned: out the Liberals and
Tories because of their big
business, anti-labor policies.
The people wanted a change.
But Social Credit has proven
itself to be just as much, or
more, of a servant of these
same . interests, only more
anti-labor and more corrupt.

They have surrendered our

lies, many of them foreign-
owned and controlled. .They
have increased taxes. Their
policies have added to unem-
ployment. And now instead ‘of
leading the people to fight
against the grave danger of nu-
clear war, they are lulling the
people with the false security
of basement shelters.

The -Communist Party has
consistently worked for unity
of all labor, farmer and other
democratic’ forces on a pro-
gram of people’s- needs to

change this mad course and
break the stranglehold of big
| business on our lives. Unfor-

every attempt to build such

needs.

An Appeal To The Voters.

By NIGEL MORGAN, Provincial Leader, Communist Party of Canada

“rT
and its
servant, Social Credit.

The 19 Communist candi-
dates in this election are cam-
paigning strongly for unity —
ALL-IN UNITY — on a labor
and people’s program. I invite

you to-read and study our
platform. Compare it with
that of the CCF and other

parties, and. you will see for
yourself that it is the only
one that clearly and- boldly
sets out the real issues in this
election campaign. That is
why -the big business-control-
led press and radio are trying
to hide from the electors our
program, or even that we are

|in this election.

The election of _Commun-
ists to the Legislature will
give. labor and ithe people
spokesmen who will fight. in
parliament and out, for your
needs. I appeal to you ie
VOTE COMMUNIST OW

|SEPTEMBER 12th, and to do
all you can to help elect Com-
|munist candidates.
