ONTARIO C.P. URGES
ANTI-MONOPOLY UNITY

Firm and enthusiastic sup-
port for the party’s policies
of forging the united front
against the U.S. - Canadian
monopolies and their old
party agents was the main
theme of the 8th provincial
convention of the Communist
Party of Ontario which met
recently.

Ontario leader Bruce Mag-
nusson in his report drew
sharp attention to the cynical
role of the big monopolies
who, taking “our iron ore,
nickel and other metals, na-
tural gas, oil and forest pro-
ducts, are not concerned
about tomorrow and what
happens to the Canadian
economy when these re-
sources are gone.”

National party leader Les-
lie Morris warned of the dan-
ger that the right wing will
kill the New Democratic
Party if it is not challenged.
He said people joined the
NDP because they feel the

Demand inquiry into
Native Indian plight

Despite repeated requests
from various sources, B.C.
Indian Commissioner J. V.
Boys adamantly refused to
investigate Native Indian
conditions in the northern.

part of the province and the

Yukon.

The Native Brotherhood of
B.C. has turned to Indian
Affairs Minister Ellen Fair-
clough in its search for the
establishment of a Royal
Commission to investigate the
matter.

The letter to Mrs. Fair-
clough followed on the heels
of a similar letter sent to her
last week by the United Fish-
ermen and Allied Workers
Union.

In its letter, the union stat-
ed that the entire system of
medical services provided for
the Native people of B.C.
“needs thorough investigation
and drastic improvement.”

“Our members have ample
experience with inadequate

AID TO ALGERIA

and Red Crescent societies of
the USSR. :

‘treatment provided to the
Native population at various
points along our coast,” the
letter said.

It drew Mrs. Fairclough’s
attention to three Native com-
munities without medical ser-
vices, all of which have been
the subject of frequent reso-
lutions from the union and its
Women’s Auxiliaries.

Kashtan charges U.S. monopolies
block Canadian job making policies

William Kashtan, labor sec-
retary of the Communist
Party of Canada, told a pub-
lic meeting at the Fisher-
men’s Hall on April 15 that
Dominion Bureau of Statistics
and other government figures
on unemployment were mis-
leading.

Quoting Bruce McDonald,
a researcher for a leading
Toronto daily newspaper,
Kashtan charged that there
were more than
workers whose unemployed
benefits had expired and
were therefore no longer
“officially” listed as being
unemployed. When this fig-
ure was added to the -ad-
mitted total of over half a
million persons seeking em-
ployment, it presented a pic-

650,000

ture of well over 1,000,0%
people who are unable ;
find work, he charged.

Kashtan pointed out
the main obstacle to betterill
the employment picture
