YOUNG COMMUNISTS ORGANIZE © \\\ i.

Fight against austerity
program mapped by C.P.

Two young men who were
elected to leading national posts
at the 20th convention of the
Communist Party of Canada,
visited B.C. last week to help
launch a drive against the
Trudeau government’s austerity
program, and to lay the basis for
the building of a Young
Communist League in B.C.

Don Currie, youthful national
organizer of the Communist
Party, attended important
meetings of the Communist
Party in Vancouver, Victoria
and Fraser Valley. At a special
meeting at the B.C. party’s
provincial committee last
Saturday, he outlined plans for a
national drive defending the
people’s living standards which
are the target of Trudeau’s
austerity program.

He told the meeting that the
Communist Party nationally is
geared to launching an
independent campaign beamed
to the working people around a
program of action to defeat the
austerity program and wage
freeze policy. ‘‘At the same time

- we will play an important role in

uniting the movements of the
people to fight back against
monopoly’s attack.”

Currie said the Communist
Party will devote special
attention to the needs of the
working class and to building the
party among industrial workers.
While in Victoria he was
interviewed by both press and

DON CURRIE, youthful national
organizer of the Communist Party,
was in B.C. last week to promote
the party’s anti-austerity drive.

TV and spoke at a meeting at the
University of Victoria at noon
Monday.

Charles McFadden, the party’s
new national youth secretary
was in B.C. to meet with youth
groups and to prepare for the
founding convention of the
Young Communist League to
take place in March, 1970. Young
Communist League branches
have already been set up in
major centres across Canada,
including Quebec.

While here, YCL_ branches

founding convention and to
proceed with the organizing of
more clubs in B.C. Twenty-five
young people have already
joined the YCL in B.C. Many
more have shown an interest in
the new organization.

Speaking at the conference
McFadden, who is a graduate of
the University of B.C., said
Canada needs a Communist
youth organization which will
carry on education for socialism
and action to meet the needs of
youth today. The YCL will be a
Marxist-Leninist youth or-
ganization which will put the
emphasis on education, action
and recreation, he said.

The opening shot in the
Communist Party’s campaign
against the austerity program
was fired this week with the
publication of an attractive and
informative pamphlet entitled,
“Say No To Austerity.’’ The
pamphlet is by William Kashtan,
national leader of _ the
Communist Party, and is a reply
to Prime Minister Trudeau. The
pamphlet sells for 25¢ and is
available at the Co-op Bookstore,
341 W. Pender St., or from the
Communist Party, Rm. 408,
Ford Bldg., 193 E. Hastings St. —
