WILLIAM TURNER Burnaby The question of developing in- dustries to give work to Burna- by’s fast-growing population has figured prominently in William Turner's. campaign.

That is why such acts must be fought by the people, who are the true guardians of democracy.” Dealing with recent changes in the world situation, Dr. Endi- cott said that public pressure could end the war in Korea and lead to world peace. “The tide is flowing in our favor,” he said, “and we must keep it flowing. But while we can be optimistic, we must not underestimate the great danger to peace presented by the new U.S. war cabinet, and its moves to spread the war in the Far East.” He called Indochina and Africa two “dan- ger signals.” “When people rise to defend their homes and their rights, we are drugged into thinking it, is some form of aggression,” he*com- mented. “But the only aggres- sors 1n Indochina are the French forces. “In Africa, after 300 years of plunder, the people are beginning to stand up and fight back. Life magazine calls Africa ‘a continent in ferment.’ Americans don’t like to use the word revolution. Per- haps we'll see the Daughters of the American Revolution chang- ing their name to the Daughters of the American Ferment!” Dr. Endicott urged his listeners to study President Eisenhower’s recent speech on foreign policy, which he felt contained many pro- posals which peace supporters could agree with. “When Eisen- hower said that armaments can- not bring security, but could only lead the country to bankruptcy, he was repeating what we in the peace movement have been saying for a long time. “In the past I’ve been called a stooge of Moscow.. Now, I sup- pose, I'll be called a stooge of Washington. Well, I’m willing to be a ‘stooge’ for anyone or any government putting forward pro- posals for peace which I can agree with.” The Canadian Peace Congress supports Sir Winston Churchill’s call for Great Power negotiations, said Dr. Endicott, and regards the coming Commonwealth Ministers’ Conference as a great opportunity to tip the scales for peace. “Deeds count more than words,” observed the speaker. “The most important deed that President Eisenhower could do at this time would be to ask the Soviet Union and China to sit down with Britain, France and the United States to have frank discussions on peace, Until he does, our peace movement will keep up pressure for such action.” rel TE ee STANTON, MUNRO & DEAN Barristers - Solicitors - Notaries ‘SUITE 515 FORD BUILDING 193 BE.
