Sub total for six months short of goal From January to June inclusive @ total of 1,231 subscriptions were turned in to the Pacific Tribune by press workers. This average of slightly more than ,200 subs a month is certainly inadequate in view of the urgent need to build B.C.’s outstanding labor and peace paper in this crucial period in his- tory. ®xtending the circulation of the PT is one of the tasks facing every peace worker. “What is the re- cord in your press club, and what have you personally done to win new readers?” is the question the paper is now asking all its sup- porters.

If we err, then we at least err on safety’s side.” Bengough spoke after the vote had been taken. Prior to that Gordon’s letter to council secre- tary-treasurer R. K. Gervin was read to delegates. In it he said: “Your letter that I had been barred from the council came to me as a.complete surprise. No charges were laid against me. No opportunity was given to deny, affirm or otherwise answer what- ever alleged reasons the executive may have had for its action. No attention was paid to those sec- tions of the council constitution which are supposed to protect de- mocratic procedure. .:. , “At the Montreal convention of the TLC I opposed every change in the constitution of the Congress which could be used to exclude any properly elected delegate on the grounds of his or her political opinions or affiliation. “I believe that Congress should CARLTON REALTY Homes, Businesses, Farms Insurance of All.

Certainly there can be no grounds whatso- ever for reading anything subver- sive into the desire for peace. I am not one of those who oppose peace because Communists advo- cate it.. I consider peace in the world as essential to the future progress of organized labor. “T refuse to bear false witness - Vancouver | Second Hand Store ‘ @ Stove Parts and Repairs @ Used Plumbing Supplies Tools Kitchenware 538 MAIN ST.
