LPP policies proved right

“The outcome of the Geneva
Conference has opened up far-
reaching possibilities for British
Columbia and Canada,” LPP pro-
vincial leader Nigel Morgan said
in presenting the main report
at the weekend Labor-Progres-
sive party convention in Clinton
Hall here.

Since Geneva _ international
tensions have relaxed notably;
proposals have been agreed to
for the exchange of parliamen-
tary, cultural and student dele-
gations and trading relations are
being negotiated with the Soviet
Union, said the LPP leader.

“Socialist peace policies are
triumphing over imperialist
war policies. Geneva was pos-
sible becauSe of the compelling
demand of people everywhere
for peace. |

“Geneva has proved that the
LPP was right in taking up the
struggle for peaceful co-exist-
ence. ;

It was right in fighting against
Canada’s being made a pawn for
John Foster Dulles and his fantas-
tic line of ‘massive retaliation.’

“Tt was right in opposing ‘‘in-
tegration’ of Canada in the U.S.
war economy and ruination of
our country’s bright future by
pushing it backward to make it
a raw material reserve for big
Yankee war trusts.” :

To meet successfully the new
conditions of peaceful co-exist-
ence, said Morgan, the LPP will
fight for extension of cultural
and trade relations, with socialist
countries, for building of great
industries in Canada to process
more of our raw materials at
home, and _ redistribution of
government revenues to solve
the growing crisis in federal-
provincial and provincial- munici-
pal fiscal relations.

In the report presented by Alf
Dewhurst, provincial organizer,
work done by the LPP during
the past year was reviewed and
plans projected for the coming
period.

Last year the LPP “set out to
awaken the public conscience over
the U.S. grab of our resources,”
said Dewhurst. “We _ projected
our ideas. vigorously through the
columns of the progressive press,
in newspaper advertisements,
leaflets, radio broadcasts, briefs
to governments and civic bodies,
by petitions, and through dele-
gations to the legislature and city.
councils, and -by motorcades in
the main populated areas.

“These ideas, first projected
by us, have become the ideas
of a growing number of influ-
ential people and organizations.”

One of the finest examples of
united people’s action was the
fight to roll back bus fares in
the Greater Vancouver | area.
“Our party in Greater Vancouver
energetically helped to develop
this campaign,” said Dewhurst.
“Tens of thousands of people
took up the fight in one way
or another. Our slogans became
their slogans. And for the first
time in the history of the B.C.
Electric it had to yield to the
people’s will and roll back fares
from 15 cents to 13 cents.”

Supporting the Pacific Trib-
une’s current circulation cam-
paign, Dewhurst said the paper
was “the best medium for pro-
pagating progressive ideas” and
called on LPP members to win
new readers.

Turning to electoral work,
Dewhurst said the LPP will run
at least 40 candidates in the next
provincial elections. “So far 17
of these candidates have been

nominated. But we have 23 more

nominations which must take
place this coming year. This
means that our provincial staff
will have to visit constituencies
in northern and central. B.C.,
establish LPP organizations
where none exist at present, and
help select candidates.”

CCW says women want
end to fear, insecurity |

TORONTO

“Women of Canada want an end to the fear and insecurity which has resulted from

years of cold war.”

convention of the Congress of Canadian Women; held last weekend in Toronto.

This was the theme of the main report submitted to the fifth national

Attending

were 140 delegates from CCW chapters and associated organizations across the - COREE
Peace, defense of children and advancement of women’s rights were among the question —

receiving greatest attention in

the two-day discussions.

In her report to the conven-
tion, Mrs. Marge Ferguson, CCW
national secretary, called upon
the government to cut military
expenditures and transfer the
funds for essential social services.

“Now that controlled disarm-
ament appears possible,” Mrs.
Ferguson said, “our government
must be convinced that the war

[budget of $2 billion can be cut,

while still providing for the
necessary defense of Canada.

“This could make possible
new social security measures,
such as national health insur-
ance, maternity benefits, gov-
ernment subsidized low rental
housing, adequate unemploy-
ment insurance and scholar-
ships for our young folk... .
These are rights of Canadians,
living in such a rich and pros-
perous country as ours.”

The CCW secretary called for
an intensive drive to win wage
equality for women in industry.

There is a wide gap, she told
the delegates, between the wages
paid to men and women for the
same work. Twenty-six percent
of all employees in Canada are
women. But in manufacturing,
which has a larger percentage of
women workers, wages paid to
women are 37 percent lower than
for men.

On every’° woman worker hir-
ed in manufacturing, the em-
ployer makes $2.96 more profit
per day on a woman worker than
is the case with men. ;

Mrs. Ferguson expressed great

tween Canada and other coun-
tries.

“We hope that the people of
the Soviet Union and Canada
will as a result of these visits
get to know each other better,”
Mrs. Ferguson said. “The CCW
will help to bring greater under-
standing to Canadian women of
the advantages accruing from
friendship with all countries.”

The CCW secretary announc-
ed that an invitation extended
to Soviet women to visit Can-
ada has been accepted and
that a delegation of the Soviet
Women’s Anti-Fascist Commit-
tee will visit Canada in 1956.

A manifesto unanimously
adopted by the convention, read
in part: :

“Let us exert all our energies
and every art of persuasion to
assure that the path of peaceful
negotiations and world friendship
is adhered to... . sok

“Let us advise our govern-
ment to act in the councils of the
nations to foster trade and cul-
tural exchanges between all
countries, to forge true unity
within and through the United
Nations organization, to abolish
all weapons of mass extermina-
tion, to reduce armaments to the
requirements of national security,
to secure lasting peace.

“Let us insist that the great
store of human energy and ma-
terial resources that is now flow-
ing into armaments be turned to
better the life of our people, to
promote the arts of peace, to
provide health protection for all
Canadians, a decent livelihood
