Use of atomic energy for industrial pur- poses will hasten the process and usher in an age of abundance which will make communism pos- sible.” : Morgan called for socialism and trade with the socialist sector of the world; urged banning of the atom bomb and a return to the early principles of the United Na- tions. : “If we don’t compel our govern- ment to speak and act for peace, UO Eh Oe Ra bacon 3 subs 3 subs subs. subs! subs subs , subs ’ subs 4 subs subs subs! 3% subs sees Laas Pa 2 1075 it is we who will suffer, just as surely as we are suffering today from our refusal to trade with one- third of the world’s peoples,” he said.

Pointing to the fact that a third of mankind now lives under Com- munist and people’s governments, the LPP leader stressed that all they require is peace, and if there is continued peace “nothing can prevent all mankind from eventu- ally being united under. the ban- ner of socialism.” Capitalism, he said, had not been able to establish itself on a stable basis since the end of the war, but the people’s democracies have con- tinued to expand and grow. : Nineteen forty nine, the year that the Chinese people estab- lished their own government, marked the beginning of a new era. “Just as the Russian revo- lution of 1917 marked the turn of the Socialist revolution, sO FIR — SAWDUST _ ~ WOOD * : Provincial Fuels IMMEDIATE DELIVERY — PHONE ANYTIME — NORTH 2020 - OR PACIFIC 3748 rising people's > does not come from Europe. st be fought for in N.

The discovery that the USSR had the atom bomb, he said, had re- sulted in the sharpening “cold war” attack by North American capital- ism against their Own people. “The Marshall plan countries,” he emphasized, “are in a crisis, while the Soviet Union, China and the New Democracies are forging’ ahead. Production in those coun- tries has increased by a minimum of 40 percent, while, in the United States, an economic crisis is rapidly approaching. Having failed to~turn the cold war into a shooting war, the American imperialists are at- tempting to maintain super profits by turning the cold war against |the working class.” The cold war, said Buck, was also being turned against the “partners” of American imperi-” alism, with Britain and the de- valuation of the pound being a classic example of an American cold war plan which will make possible the buying up of Euro- an industries cheaply with U.S. dollars. ; The LPP leader stressed that the cuiwent drive against progressive unions in the U.S. and Canadian labor movements was another part of U.S. imperialism’s cold war. It was a cold war drive, he stressed, which was designed to divide and split the labor movement at a time when capitalism was going on the offensive and when the need for labor unity was vital to fight back against layoffs, speedup and wage cuts. ‘ “Any member of the labor move- ment who t&kes part in the drive \to split the unions is serving the -| employers,” Buck said. “Those who fight for unity and against the splitters aie also fighting the cold war. For the cold war isn’t just the war of Wall Street against the Soviet Union; it is also the war the monopolists are waging against the people in the effort to main- tain the profits they have lost in Eastern Europe and Asia.” Buck paid a glowing tribute to the Soviet people who have trans- formed a sixth of the earth, both tphysically and- politically in the face of gigantic obstacles. “We should hail,” Buck said, ‘not only the tremendous achieve- ments of the Soviet Union, but should also hail the fact the Soviet Union has demonstrated to the peo- ple of the whole world their desire to use atom energy for peace, “Here in Canada we must take up the fight for peace and against the cold war; against labor split- ting and union-busting; for higher wages, better working conditions, for economic progress and towards a Socialist Canada.” ’ | tries. World trade need stressed by Rush —VICTORIA, B.C. A resolution calling for increased trade with the Soviet Union, China and the New Democracies was unanimously passed at a rally here commemerating the 32nd anniversary of the founding of the USSR as the world’s first socialist state. by Maurice Rush, LPP provincial organizer. “The present ‘cold war’ policy of the Canadian government is lead- ing our country down the road to economic depression,” Rush charg- ed. “The Chinese People’s Re- public has stated that it plans to build thousands of miles of rail- roads. This market for railway ties alone would greatly help the de- clining job situation in B.C.’s lum- ber industry.” Describing life in the Soviet Union Rush said: “The Soviet Constitution guarantees every citi- zen the right to work at decent wages; equal right for women; freedom from racial discrimination. Medical care and _ hospitalization are entirely free and these social services are administered by the trade unions. “These and many other funda- mental rights can be guaranteed because in a socialist democracy production is carried on for the benefit of the people and not sole- ly for profit, as in capitalist coun- Socialist democracy is the most advanced stage of democracy humanity has ever reached.” The rally was addressed ‘I've no special lity’ . morality - Howe 4 S OTTAWA Trade Minister Clarence Decatur Howe, darling of the gib corpora- tions in the federal] cabinet, was identified as the chief culprit in the government plot to withhold pub- lication of results of the flour- milling probe, as the tangled web of wartime intrigue to maintain high profits, of monopoly price- fixing, and of election bribery un- rolled here. “I claim no special morality,” Howe declared in justifying his prevention of release of the flour report and his stern fight to bm prosecution of the 11 companies.
