_ LABOR ROUNDUP: ‘Face electorate now, Mac’ demand British Communists “A thousand judicial inquiries will never absolve the Tory gov- ernment from its crimes,’ said British Communist Party leader John Gollan.last week, commen- ting on the release of the Den- ning report on the Profumo scan- dal. Gollan said in a public state- ment that “The essence of the Denning Report that no one in authority is to blame. If any- thing the Prime Minister and his colleagues were not sufficiently ‘men of the world to scent what was going on. ; Society and the Establish- ment, especially the security ser- vices and by implication the Tory Party, are whiter than white. “We should not allow the Tories to use the Denning report to close the book on this scandal. Parlia- ment must be recalled to probe this report. “But one thing Denning does show: that great ‘security’ men- ace in the Profumo scandal was non-existent. From the start La- ber has been shooting at the wrong target. “The real target was the cor- rupt social system made ten times worse by 12 years of Tory rule...

USSR hits Malaysia scheme The Soviet government news- paper Izvestia last week branded the Malaysian Federation as a **neo-colonialist band, which was called upon to hold together the disjointed remnants of British possessions inSouth-East Asia.’’ In an article signed by Izves- tia’s Observer Vladimir Kudry- avtsev, the Moscow evening paper, quoted by Tass, said: *‘Seperately all these pos- _sessions in South-East Asiahave little strategic value. But if un- ited they serve as a kind of bar- cier from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. _ Izvestia said disruption of dip- lomatic relations with the Phil- _lipines and Indonesia was the new state’s first act in the for- eign policy sphere. It had thus started life by agerevating the international sit- uation. “The defective scheme of the British neo-colonialists imme- diately yielded equally defective fruit,’’ the newspaper continued. This was a ‘‘most indicative beginning symbolic of: the pre- sent policy of the senile Bri- tish imperialism.’’ The architects of Malaysia had worked with a crudeness such as had never before been witnessed in the work of British colonists.

Last week, at a «embership meeting of Local 97 of the Iron- workers union, secretary Andy Grant said that a telegram had been sent to the Canadian gov- ernment expressing oppositicn to proposed trusteeship over unions in the maritime industry. Although the locai’s member- ship decided to send the wire, a group of members strenuously op- posed the action on the grounds that it would tend to condone un- ‘warranted interference in local business, as the request for the action had come from its inter- national headquarters. ; Officers of the executive re- fused to comment on reports that the telegram had actually been _ sent before the membership had met to endorse the action. They did not wish to discuss internal union business in public, they said. The local row coincided with reports from all over the nation, saying that every international union with headquarters in the U.S. had sent similar instructions ° to all locals in Canada. Last Tuesday, Vancouver Labor Council heard a letter from CLC president Claude Jodoin, in which he stated that VLC condemnation of the trusteeship scheme “will be submitted to the next CLC executive board meeing for con- sideration.”” e As its contribution to Canada’s centenary celebrations in 1967, the CLC will publish a “History of the Trade Union Movement in Canada.’ Eugene Forsey, CLC Research Director, will be res- ponsible for the publication. e The province’s brewery work- ers, who averted a strike at the last moment, have disclosed that terms of settlément included a wage boost of 18c an hour. -The union had been demanding 26c, to bring wages up to a par with those prevailing in Ontario and Quebec. The raise is spread over a 2- year period, with 12c being retro- active to January 1 of this year and the added 6c taking effect in 1964. The settlement also in- cluded a 4-week vacation after 11 years of service (instead of 15) and other fringe benefits. e Another labor-management con- ference is slated to be held. This one, hosted by the provincial gov- ernment, will be held at UBC on | October 23 and 24. The B.C.

Also that the union has little concern for the member who is laid off andfades away from union life. Still another UAW man ex- pressed the opinion labor’s fail- ures are due to the tendency to ‘*Depend on the Democrats or the Republicans.’ He called for more vigorous and independent political action. “Until that is done, the labor movement as we know it today -will regress further and further. Maybe what I am saying is we ought to have a labor party?’ At the conclusion, one of the UAW group thought the confer- ence examined problems ‘‘in a rather limited context.’’ He sug- gested a further examination of whether there is a ‘‘correlation between the rise of the right wing in American society and the attendant decline in the labor movement.’’ Also, whether it should be assumed that ‘‘the eco- nomic system is _ inevitably healthy and that it is going to continue that way.’’ He observed that if the econ- omy declines there might be a ‘*radicalization’’ of a sort. He further suggested discussion of FINDS DAMAGE the problem whether a militancy — is likely in the labor movement if at the same time the position is taken that the cold war against’ Communism must be pressed.
