LIBEL

Munro and Dean, dated April 17,
read: “In accordance with your
instructions, we have had this
matter settled by obtaining a re-
lease from Brown in favor of
yourself and the other defend-
ants, and by obtaining a court
order dismissing the entire ac-
tion without costs to any party.

“We now beg to enclose the

release, along with a copy of the -

court order, and to advise that
the sum of $750 has been duly
paid to Brown’s solicitor, Mr.
T. A. Dohm.”

The order ‘of the Supreme
Court of British Columbia read:
“Upon the application of the
Plaintiff for an Order dismissing
this action without costs to any
party hereto; and upon hearing
the pleadings and proceedings
had and taken herein; and upon
hearing Mr. Thomas A. Dohm of
Counsel for the Plaintiff, and
Mr. John Stanton of Cousel for
the Defendants consenting;

“This court doth order and
adjudge that this action do stand
dismissed without costs to any
party hereto.”

Settlement of the libel action
— which arose out of reports
published in the Pacific Tribune

on the Clarence Clemens case—

means that the demand advanced
by this paper for an annulment
of the coroner’s jury verdict by
the attorney-general can now
become the central issue in this
paper’s fight for justice and
against racial discrimination.

“Attorney General Robert Bon-
ner has assured the many trade
unions and other organizations
which have protested the ver-
dict in the Clemens case that
his department will inquire into
all the circumstances. That in-
quiry must be held without fur-
ther delay,” said PT editor Tom
McEwen this week. (See editorial
on page 5.)

Morgan’s statement continued:

“The 15-minute ‘free time’
broadcasts are heard every Mon-s
day at 10:15 p.m. over the CBG
network and independent sta-
tions throughout the province.
Provided to give’ radio listeners
an opportunity of hearing all
political parties that qualify un-
der the CBC’s White Paper, the
LPP had been left out of the
original allocation of time.

“Application for inclusion of
the LPP in the series, and sup-
porting evidence that the LPP
will definitely qualify under CBC
regulations with a minimum of
20 candidates was submitted to.

Caple this week.

“Announcement of the dates

Hailing the recent speeches of Premier Malenkov of the Soviet Union and Presi a nited

But he cautioned that the test would depend in the first place on the cease-fire ee nighes

levels.

In a direct appeal to the Cana-
dian’ government, Dr. Endicott
urged that it act at once to call
on the five great powers to “sit
down and negotiate a peace
treaty to end the cold war before
it becomes a hot war and turns
our country into a graveyard.”

“Let them get together and ne-
gotiate and let them write out
their agreement as a pact of
peace for all the world to see.
That is what would revive and
restore the UN to the purposes
of its noble charter. A pact of

While welcoming Eisenhower’s
address, the Canadian peace
leader was not uncritical of its
terms, stressing that the aim of
the peace movement was to
seek “solutions, not proof of
causes.”

Carrying through of the prin-

ciples outlined by Eisenhower :

hinges on agreement of the five
great powers, Dr. Endicott said.

“President Eisenhower makes
no proposal for a meeting to
‘start negotiations. He leaves his
proposals hanging in the air, but
the logic of his speech calls for
a high level meeting and negotia-
tions. This is the task for the
growing force of the peace
movement, here and in the U.S.
and in every country—to bring
that meeting to pass.”

In listing the five Powers, the
speaker made it clear they should
include People’s China. “The
fatal: weakness in the UN today

DR. JAMES ENDICOTT

is that the charter has been in-
terpreted by some smart cor-
poration lawyers so that China
is read to mean Formosa. China
is the mainland of China and
that government must be admitt-
ed to the council chambers of
the world without delay.”

Eisenhower’s treatment of
causes of the cold war would
generate differences of opinion,
Dr. Endicott told his audience.
“The peace: movement has al-
Ways concentrated on solutions—
solutions mutually acceptable—
and we found at Vienna that
agreement was possible only if
we agreed to deal with solutions
and not with causes, History will
