“GOODWILL TOWARD MEN.” The atrocities of U.S. puppet troops in South Viet-
nam grow daily more vicious as they try to stem the tide of the people’s libera-
tion struggle. This picture shows a supporter of the National Liberation Front
strung up by his arms as his tormentor approaches him with a knife to force

information from him.

Labor win in recount

Last week’s issue of the PT
reported that Don Downton,
school board candidate with labor
and NDP backing in the Ioco
area, missed being elected to Co-
quitlam school board by three
votes,

Since that time a recount has
taken place, The recount left
Downton tied withSamuel Kilbert,
chief engineer for Imperial Oil
in the area, Returning officer
John Fleming broke the tie by
casting the deciding ballot in
favor of Downton,

Fleming’s vote was cast after
he examined the candidates’ pro-
grams, the way in which they con-
ducted their campaigns, andother
factors, It was the first contest
in the area in 26 years, dur-
ing which time school board
members were elected by accla-
mation of provincial cabinet ap-
pointment,

Downton’s program included
more help for education from
Victoria and Ottawa, more varied
courses for the district’s young
people, establishment of a‘‘ Par-

NEW YEAR’S EVE FROLIC

S. Africa freedom fight
needs a boost from Canada

By PEGGY CHUNN

‘Peace on Earth, Goodwill To
Men’’—one of the oldest and most
powerful slogans ever printed,
Its appeal is universal and, at
this time of year particularly,
our thoughts and feelings go be-
yond our usual narrow, dome-
stic selfish, interests,

Will Canadians, as_ they go
about their holiday festivities,
take the time and effort to ex-
press their support of the South
African people in’their struggle
against the vicious Apartheid
(pronounced ‘‘ Apart-Hate’’) poli-
cies of the Verwoerd govern-
-ment?

A small pamphlet issued by the
Canadian Apartheid Committee in
Toronto poses a number of ques-
tions of interest to us — Why
should Canadians be Concerned
about the Internal Policies of
South Africa? , , What are these
policies? , , What is meant by
apartheid? , , Will such a pol-
icy affect the lives of Canadians
in any way? , . What can Cana-
dians do to help?

This paper has during the past

year carried a number of art-'

icles and news items pointing out
the tremendous natural wealth of
South Africa, the domination both
economically (the white people
constitute one-fifth of the popu-
lation, but get about two-thirds
of the national income; and the
Africans do most of the hard

work in the country), and poli-:

tically, as expressed in the pol-
icy of Apartheid...

This word literally means
‘¢apartness’’ and is expressed in
the system of settlements! the
hated ‘pass’ system, the power
of the government to hang poli-
tical offenders, to keep them in

prison indefinitely without trial;
to arrest without warrant; to re-
move the right of habeas corpus
and the use of torture to obtain
confessions etc,

Does all this affect Canadians
in any way? The Committee states
as follows:.‘‘The effect of such
repressions cannot but have
international repercussions, The
vicious racial discrimination of
the South African Gov’t, will al-
most inevitably lead to rebellion
and bloodshed, It will be another
international crisis and a threat
to world peace, Canadians and
many other U.N, nations are
likely to be involved.’’

Surely no thinking person re-
quires more proof of the accur-
acy of the above statement than
is already known, not only in
the fight-back of the South Af-
rican people, but in the examples
of the peole of South Vietnam,
the Congo, Cyprus and so on,
for their. right to live at peace,
economically secure, for a life
with dignity and fulfillment,

Can we Canadians help? Again,
to quote the Committee; ‘A world
wide economic boycott has every
chance of changing Verwoerd’s
policies, Economic sanctions
along with strong moral repre-
sentation could change the course
of history in South Africa,’

So, by not buying any of the
well known products of South
Africa we are performing an act
of solidarity and brotherhood that
is deeply appreciated by South
Africans, :

In addition, financial help is
badly needed; as was revealed
by a letter recently received
from Alfred Kgokong, Director
of the Department of Information

and Publicity, African National |
Congress. The letter states, in
part:

‘tWe have, since 1961 produced
and sent to people throughout —
the world, ‘Spotlight on South Af-
rican Freedom News’, free of —
charge, Our production and post-
age costs have now grown so big
that we face the serious possibil= _
ity of closing down our Publicity
Dept, unless our readers come to ©
our assistance,

‘€As you know, Dr. Verwoerd
has-a powerful propaganda ma~
chine, well financed by the big-
monopolists in and outside of
South Africa, Your, assistance
will be very greatly appreciated
if you will help us to collect
funds in Canada,’’

~ Besides contributions, they are
also interested in contacting new
readers for the abovenamed pub
lications, In either case, the ad-
dress of these heroic people is:
