NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. A political rally held in Henry Hall here on Friday last week unan- imously named Tom McEwen as Labor-Progressive party candidate to contest Coast-Capilano constitu- ency in the next federal election. The nomination was moved by Ivan Birchard of Seymour Heights and several seconders, both members and non-members of the LPP, spoke on the necessity of putting forward people’s candidates who would lead in a political crusade against the ruinous war policies of the Liberal and Tory parties. In his acceptance speech McEwen pointed out that as an outcome of their smashing defeat in the pro- vincial election, the Liberals were now engaging in political bribery as a method of trying to win back some of their lost support. “Elevation of the present member for Coast-Capilano, James Sinclair, to the cabinet as minister of fisher- ies, and a like ministerial promotion ‘for Ralph Campney, member’ for Vancouver Centre, is an old game of the professional politicians in at- teripting “to” overcome reverses at the-polls,” declared McEwen. “The “new minister of fisheries has been a good yes-man for both the” Wall “Street monopolists and our own home-grown variety, as any brief study of Hansard .will show,” stated McEwen, have yet to hear of Sinclair raising his voice against the government’s policies which are bringing most of our key provincial industries, in- cluding fishing, to the brink of ruin. “These policies have closed or shut out traditional markets for B.C. produce, given over a great deal of the rich resources of this province to the Yankee warmongers, committed Canada to a suicidal war pact iinder the domination of Wash- ington, and, as if that weren’t enough, the St. Laurents and Sin- clairs can only give Canadians a future perspective of more of the same. aie “Our job in this federal election campaign, beginning from tonight, is to take the program of the Labor- Progressive party For Canadian In- dependence ‘And People’s Democ- racy into every home in this consti- tuency, to win people to the idea that through the medium of a broad people’s coalition they can run Can- ada for themselves, instead of leav- ing the job longer to the political Charley McCarthys of the war trusts and monopolists.” Outside workers seek 15-centfhike Vancouver’s 1,500 outside civic employees aré expected to ask for am across-the-board increase of 15 cents an hour in coming wage neg- otiations with city council.
