Tanganyika celebrates ‘liberty

~The joy on the faces of
these Tanganyikans, here
shown celebrating their
recent independence and
shouting “Imperialism,
-get- Qut of Africa” speaks
for itself.

One of Africa’s. largest
countries with a population
of nine million, Tanganyi-
ka had only 450: doctors to
eater to the medical needs
of the large population.

Rich. in natural resourc-
es Tanganyika produced
cotton, coffee, ivory, tin,
lead, gold and diamonds—
but all of it was for the
British colonizers.

Now the people of Tan-
ganyika are taking their

_destiny into their own
hands and plan to use the
wealth of their rich coun-
try for the good of their
land and its people.

Our countries ‘have “enter-

of demorcatic revolutions for
national liberation. Now, it
is no longer just a question
of our countries being sover-

having an independent policy;
but in practice political inde-
pendence has to be com-
pleted with economic inde-
pendence.

Women’s parley pla
Victoria delegation

When women get together things get done, and fil

conference held on Sat., F

eb. 3rd at the Fishermen:

Hall, 188 E. Cordova was no exception. The conferen¢

culminated in a decision to
pile a brief to be presented

set up a committee to col
to the B.C. Legislature b

large delegation of women from Vanceuver, Frase

Valley and several Island

nounced later.

The gathering was spon-
sored by the Trade Union
Women for Peace, a small
but active group organized in
1960, who has given leader-
ship in the trade union aux-
iliaries on how women can
best.-work for peace.

The 51 delegates and ob-
servers from. unions, union
auxiliaries and peace groups,
including UFAWU Vancou-
ver and Steveston Shore-
workers Locals, and Fisher-
men’s, Longshoremen’s and
Ironworkers Women’s Aux.,
as well as individuals from
Vancouver Island and _ the
Fraser Valley, heard Emil
Bjarnason' of the Trade Un-
ion Research Bureau speak
on
Family Budget.”

He showed how a cut in
the arms budget could direct-

ly raise our standard of liv-
ing if we press for more
schools, hospitals and _ in-

creased public services in-

-stead of allowing tax money

to be wasted on obsolete
arms, at the rate of $22
billion since 1945.

The main speaker in the
afternoon session was Mrs.
Mickey Beagle, well-known
organizer for the UFAWU,

who: urged women to work
with all groups who desire

peace.

In_ her. talk she aici’
how many. questions concern-
ing women’s rights, equal
pay, and the care and educa-
tion for chilldren can be
closely linked with the
struggle for a peaceful world.
