Morse asks Vietnam vote

—death in that war,

tration to present a declaration
of war and to defend it before
the American péople.

“The operation of the United
States in South Vietnam is an.
illegal, unconstitutional opera-
tion, It cannot be justified by the
President of the United States.

“J call on him again, from the
floor of the U.S. Senate, to send
to Congress a declaration of war
resolution, and let it be debated
in Congress. Let members of
Congress be counted, as to wheth-
er or not they want to declare war
on South Vietnam, to officially
and legally send boys to their
and let the
American people make their ac-
counting of that kind of vote.

“I say to the American people:
Tell this government to get back
within the framework of inter-
national law, and stop a course
of conduct that amounts to inter-
national outlawry. For that is
the present program ofthe United
States in South Vietnam.”

He quoted from the U.S. Con-
stitution to prove his point that
no president has the right to send
the U.S. flag “... into a battle-
front, followed by American boys,
to die under that flag, without
first declaring war.”

“Jt doesn’t take much to get
arrested these days,’’ he writes.
¢sSomeone may simply denounce
a personal enemy or 4 job com-
petitor as a communist. In Belo
Horizonte, capital of the state of
Minas Gerais, a Chinese rest-
aurant owner was arrested on the
theory that, as a Chinese he might
be a spy for Peking.

‘In Sao Paulo, Gov. Adhemar
de Barros proudly told me that

he had arrested over 3,000 per- -

sons in his state, including every
labor leader he could lay his
hands on, communist or not.
‘Only about 10 percent got away,’
he said with satisfaction.”

e “The cost of food and cloth-
ing (but particularly food) in the
Masset area is very high. While
the Committee consider the pres-
ent food allowances are com-

The brief urges the holding of
a public meeting in the near
future with the B.C. Indian affairs
commissioner in attendance to
consider the problems touched on
in the brief.

Mine-Mill determined to win

The special Mine Mill conven-
tion held in Vancouver last week
pledged to win concessions from
the giant Consolidated Mining and
Smelting Co. in the Kootenays.
“The union is determined to fight
through and if a strike in the
main Cominco operations isnec-
essary, there is no doubt the
union will act... .

“The outstanding issue remains
the defined working week with
premium pay for hours worked
on Saturday and Sunday,” said a
special resolution which was un-
animously adopted by the con-
vention.

Harvey Murphy, veteran Mine
Mill leader, said that since his
first association with coal and
metal mine workers in 1928 he
had never seen the amount of
unity and fighting spirit that now
exists among Cominco workers.
Murphy’s contention was sup-
ported by the District Officers’
Report, which stated:

«This year closely parallels
the great movement of the work-
ers in substantial wage increases

and improvements in conditions
of the militant struggles of the
workers of Canada immediately
after World War II in 1946.”

The report pointed out “raid-
ing was imported into Canada
from the U.S. and was the out-
growth of the cold war that was
developed to break up the allia-

-ance of the victorious people that

brought death to fascism and

which had advanced the cause of
labor to new heights of achieve-
ments in the U.S. and Canadian
labor movements.

“While (Hal) Banks was as-
signed to do a job for big busi-
ness on the waterfront, Steel
was given that assignment in
the mining industry.”

On the crisis of Confederation, ’
delegates adopted a resolution
which said: “We believe the most
important step towards unity of
all Canadian people is by the
establishment of a true Canadian
Constitution, providing equality
for all.” This was an endorse-
ment of remarks made by Jean
Pare, Vice-President of UE, who
addressed the parley.

Further resolutions dealt with
the demand for withdrawal of
nuclear weapons from Canadian
soil and the complete abolition
of all nuclear arms in the world;
and a call to the Bennett govern-
ment to withdraw licences that
at present permit logging and
mining within parks in B.C.

pace,

Drive falls behind!

Last week we experienced the worst week of the drive. Only
r office, leaving us still below the halfway
mark with only a little more than two weeks time left to make

This one poor week has drastically changed the drive
w days ago we sent out a letter from our editor

to all press clubs, congratulating them on the splendid effort
o far, and asking them to wind the drive up on time—on

But now, instead of being some $1,300 ahead of last year’s
we have actually fallen behind by $200—and all in the
space of one short week. We aren’t reaching for the panic
putton yet, but we wouldn’t be fair to ourselves or our readers
if we failed to sound a note of alarm at this point.

At this moment, the drive is in poor shape!

Check the standings below, check up on pledges, on dona-

tions, on plans and preparations for public fund raising. In
short, let’s get the campaign back on the right track.
