“Moreover it shouldn’t be
forgotten,’ continued Mc-
Ewen, ‘that should either the
Liberals or Tories win a
working majority on June 18,
one of the first sellouts they

will seek to conclude will be -

ratification of the Columbia
River Treaty in an effort to
appease U.S. impatience with
its delayed delivery. That is
the essence of Pearson’s
promise of ratification.”
DISARM SAYS STEWART

CP city secretary and can-
didate in Vancouver South,
William Stewart, addressed
an all-candidate meeting this
week at the _ Unitarian
Church.

He told the meeting that:
“The first step towards dis-
armament for Canada is to
defeat the old line parties on
June 18th.”

Tracing the record of his
party in the fight for peace,
Stewart challenged any of the
representatives to match the
efforts of the Communists in
Canada for a peaceful solu-
tion of world problems.

He chided the Liberal and
Tory speakers who “tried to
strike a peace posture, but
who were the puppets on the
end of strings manoeuvered
by the big armaments manu-
facturers and monopolies.”

He reminded the audience
that it was the Liberals who
had introduced the policy of
“integration with the USA
and that both the Liberal and
Tory governments had since
that time run Canada with
made-in-the-U.S. cold war
policies.

Stewart said that only a
sharp break with these poli-
cies and the pursuance of a
policy of Canadian neutrality,
withdrawal from NATO and
NORAD, and trade with all
countries would secure peace
and ‘satisfy the economic

s of Canadians.

charged, “has deliberately
driven up living costs and cut
wages and farm income in
order to subsidize the big
U.S. monopolies.
“Devaluation of the Can-
adian dollar is the end result
of the anti-Canadian, pro-

U.S. policies of Liberal, Tory .

and Socred governments.

“By a stroke of the pen,
recent wage gains have in
most cases been stolen back,
and for many, including pen-
sioners and those on fixed in-
come, drastically cut,” he
said.

The meeting, which was
also addressed by CP pro-
vincial leader Nigel Morgan,
was notable for the large
number of young people pres-
ent.

Citizenship rights must
be guaranteed says Morris

TORONTO “Citizen-
ship in Canada is not yet
really secure for many of
our citizezns,’”’ Leslie Mor-
ris, Communist candidate
in Toronto-Trinity and the
party’s national leader told
a luncheon meeting of the
Canadian Language Press
Club and_ representatives
of the Canadian Council of
National Groups at the
Town and Country Club on
Tuesday, May 29.

Candidates of all political
parties were invited to speak
to the Press Club on citizen-
ship, but only Mr. Morris re-
sponded to the invitation.

“Citizenship should be a
constitutional right for all
who are born in Canada, have
become naturalized, or who
have resided in Canada for
five years and wish to take
advantage of that right,” said
Mr. Morris.

“It is a right, not a privi-
lege, and parliament and gov-
rnment should be deprived
of any authority to interfere
with it. A Bill of Rights
should be embodied in a new
Canadian constitution, made
in Canada, and both constitu-
tion and the Bill of Rights
should be untouchable by
parliament. Any amendments
to a constitution or the Bill
of Rights should be made only
by a constitutional confer-
ence.”

“One of the central issues
of this election is the preser-
vation of Confederation, the
survival of Canada as a state
of English-speaking and
French Canadians,” said Mr.
Morris. “This is possible only
through a new constitution
which is founded on the na-
tional equality of both Cana-
dian nations, English and
French, and the right of seces-
sion.

“If this is not done in the
next few years, there is a

possibility that confederation,

will not survive. The unity
of English and French Cana-
dians within on state is a pro-
gressive and desirable thing,
but the present state cannot
endure if French- Canada is
deprived of the rights of full
nationhood within that state,”
said the speaker.

“This is an issue not only
for French Canadians, but
for the residents of English
Canada. It is a fact that there
has grown up, in the condi-
tions of national inequality
for French Canada, a ruling
English chauvinism, an“‘‘An-
glo-Saxon” superiority which
insults French Canadians and
members of non-British im-
migrants groups alike.

“The right of citizenship,
liberated from the prejudice
of a Minister or a political
police force, is linked with
the larger issue of a really
democratic constitution for
Canada and a Bill of Rights,”
the speaker concluded.

U.S. tests menace earth
warn Soviet scientists

Soviet scientists this week expressed strong criticism of
U.S. attempts to explode a nuclear device in space.

The director of the Soviet Meteorological Institute, Pro-
fessor Yevseyev said such nuclear explosions could “disturb”
the inter-action between the upper layers of the atmosphere
and solar energy. This may cause violent changes in the

weather.

A leading Soviet space biologist, Prof. Vasily Parin, said
such nuclear shots would complicate the stay of future cos-
monauts in space. Major Herman Titov described the tests

as “a real act of sabotage”.
