of South African goods

Claude Jodoin, president of the
Canadian Labor Congress, has
called on the Canadian trade
union movement to back the re-
cent United Nations appeal for
a boycott against goods from
South Africa.

In a.-é state-
ment issued in
connection with
Human Rights
Day, which is
celebrated by
the UN on Dec.
10, Jodoin con-
demned the

JODOIN violation of hu-
man rights by the Republic of
South Africa.

“. . South Africa,”’ he said,
“has refused to change its laws
and practice of racial persecu-
tion and apartheid and has. pro-
claimed a way of life for its in-
habitants which in its total wicked-
ness and brutality can only be
compared to the policies of Hit-
ler Germany.”

He referred to the recent sabo-
tage laws which made protests
against apartheid punishable by
death and stated: ‘In brief, apar-
theid means the political, social
and economic domination of
nearly 12 milion non-whites by
three million whites.”

Meanwhile, a number of Afro-
Asian nations are working on a
General Assembly resolution de-
manding an immediate embargo
on aid to Portugal.

The neutralists’ measure was
aimed at the supply of arms to
Portugal by its NATO allies for
use against African liberation
struggles, particularly in its col-
only of Angola.

The U.S., in an attempt to head
off this move, was reported to be
considering introduction of a
resolution which would call for
dispatch of a single UN com-
missioner to probe conditions in
Angola. But the Afro-Asians are
opposed to this sidestepping of
the issue and are virtually cer-
tain to defeat it in the General
Assembly.

Informed sources have __indi-
cated that the proposed measure,
in addition to the embargo, would
also press for Security Council
sanctions against the regime of
Portugese dictator Salazar.

Birth of a
drama group

The PT has learned that a
Labor Drama Group is in the
process of being organized in
the city of Vancouver. The
founding conference has been
called for Sunday, Dec. 16,
at 2 p.m., in the Pender Audi-
torium Canteen (offices of the
B.C. Peace Council).

The conference is expected
to discuss the aims and ob-
jectives of the proposed
drama group, will hear an
outline of a series of classes
(based. on the world famous
Stanislavsky method) and will
devote some time to a play
reading.

All stage enthusiasts, as
well as people interested in
scenery, props, makeup, etc.,
are urged to attend this pre-
liminary conference.

HUGE ORE FIND
IN YUKON

OTTAWA — Major mineral
development in Northern
Canada this year was the big
ore strike on the Yukon-
Northwest Territories border.
There rmzy be 20 to 40 billion
tons of ore in body.

The discovery could have
a major effect on the economy
of northern Canada, provided
U.S. interests don’t grab it up
‘first for shipment to the U.S.
or sale to Japan.

City communists hit
election intervention

The Vancouver Communist
Party has issued a statement in
which it says that ‘‘the people
of Vancouver — Protestant, Ro-
man Catholic and. all other
denominations — will resent the
intemperate remarks of Arch-
bishop Duke concerning the Van-
couver civic elections.”” (The
archbishop had, shortly before the
elections, bemoaned the fact that
there were “‘Communists running
for civic positions.’’)

Labelling the churchman’s at-
tacks as ‘‘shades of the Inquisi-
tion,’’ the statement added:

“Perhaps the real intention of
(his) remarks are better revealed
in an estimation he makes of the
kind of council needed for the
City of Vancouver. It sounds for
all the world like an extract from
Wm. Rathie’s election program

and leaves little doubt as to the
real intention of the Archbisho!
remarks.

“However, the seriousness of
the Archbishop’s partisan inter
vention in Vancouver civic pol
tics lies in the introduction of 7
ligious convictions and prejudic® —
into municipal affairs, plus
open call for illegalizing the Com
munist Party.”

Pointing out that there is ‘no
group in Vancouver which has Ss?
consistently ‘represented th®
needs of Vancouver citizens more
faithfully than has the Commul
ist Party,’ the statement con
cludes:

“Archbishop Duke makes no
contribution either to civic byes
tics, or the Catholic commun!"
by such ill-conceived remarks:
