Fellow - Canadians: Seventy-five years ago organized labor in North America chose the First of May as a
Si day of demonstration for the 8-hour working day. : :

whe that time, the labor movement of thé world has celebrated May Day as an occasion for unity and the}
laboy Hood of all who labor in all countries. May Day has become a great working-class tradition, a time when

Canadians must stand by

U.S. monopolies.

It is fully possible to change
the course of our country’s de-
velopment, from economic
crisis to prosperity, from war
to peace, from armaments to
disarmament, from entangle-
ment in U.S. military alliances
like NATO and NORAD ‘to
neutrality and disengagement.

PEOPLE’S VICTORY
IS POSSIBLE

The situation in the world
today, when millions are on
the march to peace and econo-
mic security, when socialism
is the strongest influence and
imperialism’s strength is de-
clining, gives the working-
people of our country, and

especially the organized labor
movement, a splendid chance
to defeat the monopolies and
to change the present policies

of Canada.

The New Party being form-
ed this summer, if it is based
on all-in unity of all progres-
sive Canadians, and adopts an
anti - monopoly platform of
jobs, peace, and Canadian in-
