Please note adver- €nts in this issue for Van- Ver 5 Points, and other provincial tiser From time to time and due to the crisis of world imperialism we have been faced with big issues such as the War Measures Act and its aftermath, the monetary crisis when U.S. President Nixon sneaked into everyone’s living room via television and announced to the world he was imposing certain economic restrictions supposedly to protect the U.S. economy. So-called statesmen were in deep despair especially on the ten percent surtax. The Pacific Tribune in a very timely way not only gavea clear cut lead and has consistently pointed out how Canada is vulnerable to the disastrous decisions and actions of the U.S. government, On all issues the Trib is there fighting for us, for peace, our jobs, security and our future. - the right of trade unionists who have and will be fighting monopoly and reactionary governments. So let’s all strike a blow to keep the PT coming. Continue to help furge unity of all labor against the common enemy the boss.

Photo shows some of the 2,000 UBC students who last Friday blocked border points to protest the Amchitka test. Bales of hay were placed across the roadway to stop all traffic. High school students from Burnaby marched to the U.S. Consulate in downtown Vancouver last Friday to protest the test. Young Communists condemn H-test On September 26 the Young Communist League held its second provincial policy and election convention since its inception. The convention accepted a number of resolu- tions including the demand that President Nixon use his power as president, as ratified by Congress, to halt the Amchitka blast. Any argumentation that the Soviet Union has just recently let off a test is spurious because Nixon can use this halt to set an example of how willing are the Indian author to speak on Pakistan Pakistan, Bangla Desh and the Future of Humanity”’ is the title of a public address to be given by Dr. Usha Mahajani in Christ Church Cathedral on Friday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m. : Dr. Mahajani, who was born in Poona, India, has just returned from a visit to that country where she made a first hand study of the appalling problem of the refugees from East Pakistan and the conditions in East Bengal. Now a professor of Political Science at Central Washington State College, Ellensberg, Dr. Mahajani has her Ph.D. in In- ternational Relations from John Hopkins University and was a Research Fellow in the Depart- ment of International Relations at the Australian National University from 1962 to 1967. She is the author of a number of publications, and has contributed articles to Australian, English, Indian, Philippine and American journals. Chairman of the meeting will be Father James Roberts, Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Admission is free and a collection will be taken for Pakistan refugee relief. Co-sponsors of the meeting are, in addition to members of the Peace Action, League, United Nations Association, Vancouver & District Labor Council.

Other resolutions included the demand for a subway and inter- urban system instead of freeways; the call for a ward system in Vancouver; the demand for low rental housing developments and development of secondary industry to provide jobs instead of providing welfare recipients as cut-rate labor to compete with the unions. The convention adopted a three point program for its next year’s work, The main emphasis is to be on the continuing struggle for job opportunities for youth. This is to be accom- panied by a broadened cultural program aimed at reaching many new youth at their own level. The third point is to coor- dinate our organizational and educational work on the three campuses in order to increase our influence in this field. Highlight of the meeting was the organizational report of a 50% growth in the YCL since our last convention. This growth has lead to the establishment of a new club in the Port Coquitlam area. The enthusiastic parti- cipation of members in dis- cussion indicates at least as big a gain is possible in the coming year.
