“Our. organipation has a
tremendous job to do. We
must ask ourselves, who is
going to fight for a future for
young Canadians? By the fu-
ture we first of all mean the
right to live.

“Young Canadians cenand
peace, and who is going to
lead their struggle? It cer-
tainly won’t be the Tories or
the Liberals! It is up to us to
lead, we are the only youth
organization in Canada which
can and does fight for the
rights of all young Canadians.

“We must demand that
Canada cut itself off from the
American war machine, from
NATO. That the Americans
be permitted no rocket bases
en Canadian soil, that all U.S.
troops be withdrawn from
Canada.

“Only if we carry out this
struggle can we call ourselves
the vanguard youth organiza-
tion.”

This section, from the main
report delivered by Monica
Samuelson, B.C. -secretary of
the Socialist Youth League,
set the tone of the SYL an-
nual convention held in Clin-
ton Hall last weekend.

Some 50 registered dele-
gates from Greater Vancou-
ver, Fraser Valley points, Vic-
toria and Nanaimo attended
the two-day parley to map a
plan of action for the coming
months.

Highlighting the convention
were reports showing that the
SYL had doubled its member-
ship since the beginning of
the year. Enthusiastically en-
dorsed was a resolution pledg-
ing to again double the mem-

Youth convention
maps peace action

bership between now and
January, 1960.

Key tasks for the coming
period were outlined as fol-
lows in the main report:

@ Above all, the SYL must
fight for policies of peace.
The future of young Cana-
dians depends on disarma-
ment and the stopping of nu-
clear tests. As long as im-
perialists are in control of
the U.S. ‘government, there is
a danger of war. But Canada
can unhitch itself from the
U.S. war machine and this is
what we must fight for.

@® We must work at all
times in the interests of Cana-
dian youth. Unemployment is

one of the greatest threats ’

facing young Canadians. So
is Bill 43. We must ltelp youth
to fight back.

© We must do a better job
of popularizing the achieve-
ments of Socialism among
young Canadians. The con-
trast of life under socialism
with life under capitalism
cannot fail to excite the im-
agination of all young Cana-
dians and it is up to us to
see they have a chance to
know the difference.

@ We must at all times
seek unity with other youth
groups. The public worke we
do will give us many chances
to find unity, if not on one
question,, then another. Also
public forums, the youth fes-
tivals, sports and cultural ac-
tivities give such opportuni-
ties.

Monica. Samuelson was re-
elected as provincial secretary
and an executive committee
was elected to guide the or-
ganization’s work throughout
the coming year.

Mine-Mill takes referendum on”
affiliation application to CLO

“TORONTO — A referendum
vote of. the Mine-Mill mem-
bership in Canada will be
taken July 21 to authorize
the union’s national execu-
tive to make an application
for affiliation to the Canad-
ian Labor Congress on the
following terms: ,

@ That Mine-Mill affiliate
intact as a national union.
@ That all present constitu-
tional rights of the member-
ship shall be maintained.

@ That Mine-Mill is prepar-
ed to accept the same obli-
gations and enjoy the same

rights as any other Cofigress~

affiliate.

The decision of Mine-Mill’s
national executive board to
submit this question to ref-
erendum vote was discussed
at a meeting in Toronto on
May 26 with the western dis-
trict executive board and
representatives from major
local unions.

“Over the past few years,”
says a union bulletin sent to
all locals, “the national offi-
cers have been pursuing this

question and have tried to :
obtain from the officers of ¥
the CLC a clear position om
the conditions for affiliation.

“The Winnipeg convention
of the union stated emphati=
cally no applicotion could be
made by the Mine-Mill offi-
cers until the CLC terms
were fully clarified. This the
Congress officers refused 10
do until an application was
received. Thus the issue of
affiliation has been stalemat
ed.” 4
