Year UNITY THE KEY HAROLD NORTH BURNABY, writes: Congratulations to the Labor Committee of the C.P. for open- ing up a very necessary and im- portant question of what does the future hold for labor. The future for labor and the Canadian people can be very bright provided we can grasp the key, namely: to unite the entire labor movement against the common enemy — monopoly and their hand maiden, mono- poly governments. Those who purport to speak for labor and fail to work for unity of labor, organized and un- organized, will find that history will pass them by. As an example, in the indus- try in which I have been employ- ed for the past fifty years— wood- working, there are seven dif- ferent unions competing for favored positions. At the same time the lumber monopolies now extend their influence into other industries and other countries and are united against us with the full backing of monopoly governments and the courts. The first step for the working class is to recognize our work- ing class concept: ‘‘An injury to one is an injury to all’’ and take steps to set aside our sectional interests and develop the unity in action below which would in time force the need for unity of the seven union against the common enemy. Space will not permit me to develop this all important question which is the key, i.e. UNITY. : UNION LEADERS DAVE GIBBS, VANCOUVER, — B.C., writes: The problem with the trade union movement today is the so-called union leaders. During the past few years most trade unions have changed and now operate as a big business. Many union leaders now line up with management, and are only interested in what they can personally gain through “deals” with the boss and selling out the worker. Ten years ago nearly two- thirds of the workers were organized. Now less than one- third of the Canadian workers are organized. On August 27 the working class voted Socred, hoping for a new. type of job security. I don’t know why they would look to the © Socreds for help, but then why PRITCHETT,, sold them out, that offers no job security, and no answers to labor’s pressing problems? Our only hope now is to organize all labor under a ‘‘One Big Union’ and thus defeat or eliminate our socalled union ‘leaders’. TRIBUTE TO HO JERRY DELANEY OF COURTENAY, B.C. has dedi- cated the following poem to the memory of Ho Chi Minh, late President of the Democratic Re- public of North Vietnam and leader of the whole Vietnamese people in their courageous struggle against U.S. aggression. Ho Chi Minh is dead, Long Live Ho Chi Minh. Long may he live In the hearts Of his people; And his people Are of all mankind, Yes, his people Came from everywhere; To all of them He was ‘‘Uncle Ho”’. Toll the bells For a great man. Toll them hard and long, For of his like There’s been very few. For twenty-five years Of blood and sacrifice He fought for the independence Of his country, For the Freedom of his people. He inspired them To heroism, _ He inspired them To great victories; And he shall continue To inspire them Until the last invader Yes, dead as he is, Uncle Ho will triumph; And his nephews and nieces Throught the world Will celebrate With his beloved Vietnam The glorious day of Victory. And dear Uncle Ho May you hear us soon Toll those bells again During that day— The Day of Independence, Freedom, and Peace. NO SHORT CUTS HARRY BALFOUR, KAMLOOPS, B.C. writes: Per- haps voters in B.C. don’t know how lucky they are! In the August election they missed being sucked in with the B.C. equivalent of Harold Wilson- ism by a country mile. Or maybe ‘‘lucky” is the wrong word. Better to say that with the rapidly more obvious collabora- tion-with-big-business direction the miserable raggle-taggle _ N.D.P. leadership were taking. it left working people no place to go.. Certainly it was a well planned try of the “professional” right wing of the N.D.P. and their hangers-on. And every indica- tion now is that this planning went deep down into every con- stituency so that, (except where the few more truly progressive previous M.L.A.s were running), even the candidates themselves appear to have been hand-picked by the provincial office who tolerated no interference from anyone! In the Kamloops riding, where so many people of all walks of life looked for a change, this ‘‘no interference’ took the form of gross irregularities in pro- cedure at the nominating con- vention to get ‘‘their’’ man in as candidate with, believe it or not, a silent, smiling Berger looking on! But while the N.D.P. debacle may, in a sense, now be past history, life will go on. The con- flicts between the monopolies and the people remain. THESE battles have to be fought out with something more than meaning- less ‘‘name’’ weapons. Indeed, who ever heard of defeating real tigers with plywood ones! In fact, until the decisive element of the people of B.C., (the hundreds of thousands of working people with their van- guard trade-unionists), are moved to take a GENUINE left trend no meaningful change can - take place. There are no short cuts to this goal. The way is rough and tough and complex. And, of course, the right way to it will be found, though just when this will be is the big question and challenge at this time. : But altogether. while the August election may have been a debacle for the present N.D.P., the fact that the little Bergers et al have had their day in court is not all the world. On the con- trary, perhaps, to thousand of forward looking people in B.C. it has been more like a good dose of salts!
