JACK HIGGINS

Peace action urged
by Bergren, Higgins

By MYRTLE BERGREN
At a meeting sponsored by the Communist Party club
held in Parksville on Sunday, May 8, provincial Communist

candidates for the next election, Hjalmar Bergren of
Cowichan-Newcastle, and Jack Higgins of Comox constitu-

ency, spoke on the theme of

“There are 832,000 unem-
ployed in Canada,” said Hjal-
mar Bergren, ‘and this is be-
cause we are mainly producers
of raw material which gives
jobs only in the first and sec-
ond stages, not in manufactur-
ing, where jobs are concerned.

“Our government is spending
too much money on arma-

ments, $100 for every man, wo-
man and child per year. As
long as we vote for cold war
politicians, the cold war will
go on. What we need is a
united labor party, but judging
from the recent CLC conven-
tion, the policy of labor buroc-
racy is divide and rule, just
like the Conservatives.

“When the day ‘comes that
the common people of this
country are as united as the
ones who make fat profits from
armament contracts, that will
be the day when this situation |

peace and jobs.

will be reversed in favor of the
people.”

Jack Higgins: ‘When the
rockets begin to fly we are in
between and will definitely
become the battle ground.
There is no defence against it
except a policy of peace and
neutrality for Canada.

“Tt is time that all across
Canada people of all political
parties should realize that we
are all equally responsible, and
let the powers that be known
that we do not agree with the
policy they are pursuing.”

Resolutions passed at the
meeting urged every effort at
the Summit conference for
peace, and a cut back in arms
spending with the money to
go for development of the
country. Other resolutions con-
demned racial policies in §s,
Africa and supported the
struggle of the S. Korea people,

Soviet space ship to
bring flight nearer

The Soviet Union took

a big leap forward toward

manned space flight with the launching Sunday of its
giant spaceship satellite weighing 10;000°pounds.

The space ship, which has a
pressurized.cabin weighing 214
tons, is fully equipped to send
back. messages on conditions
man will experience in space
flights. :

Circling the earth every 91
minutes the space ship is in
orbit from 194 to 230 miles
from the earth. :

Hailing the success of the
launching Soviet scientists say
manned space flight is now
months away rather than years.

One scientist told Soviet News
Agency Tass ‘that, “possibly
the great moment of man’s
flight into ‘space will come be-
fore this year is out.”

The tremendous weight of
the space ship has astounded :
the world. One British scientist
estimated that the successftl
launching places the Soviet
Union about four years ahead
of the United States in the
race to explore space.
