reminiscent of the union busting

Strikers were harassed and in-

The RCMP were busy against

‘Stop bombing—heal the wounds’

Voices for Peace
at border rally

With a stirring send-off by Alderman Harry Rankin from City Hall steps,
some 70 youthful marchers started out on their long 32-mile march from Vancovu-
ver to the International Peace Arch August 6 rally, marking the 22nd anniversary
of the dropping of the first U.S. A-Bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three
days later another A-Bomb destroyed Nagasaki.

«Our Canadian delegation on
the International Control Com-
mission (ICC) is supposed to be
working for peace in Vietnam”
stated Alderman Rankin, “Yet

- our big monopolies and Crown

corporations are reaping big bon-
anza profits from the manufac-
ture and sale of Canadian arms
to the U.S, for use in Vietnam,
Already more bombs have been
dropped by the U.S, in Vietnam
than in the whole of World War
Il,

“The dropping of the first A-
Bomb on Hiroshima was a test of
the new armaments of the future,
just as was Hitler and Musso-
lini’s bombing of Republican Spain
in the 30’s, and the U.S, satura-
tion bombing of Vietnam today.

«We are not part of those war
crimes, and our duty is to make
the government of this country
fully aware of that fact, thereby
assuring there will be ‘no more
Hiroshimas’” said Rankin,

Ray Hayneé, Secretary of the
British Columbia Federation of
Labor (BCFL) was chairman of
the big Peace Arch rally, num-
bering some 2,200. Guest speak-
ers Mr, Phil Drathcrew member
of the Quaker Society of Friends
‘Phoenix’ voyage to Haipong with
a cargo of medical supplies for

the people of Vietnam, and the
Rev. J. R. Hord, Secretary of
Evangelism and Social Service
of the United Church of Canada,

BCFL secretary Haynes wel-
comed all attending the Hiro-
shima Day rally, including the
“CIA, the FBI and similar other
organizations”, Haynes scored
AFL-CIO leadership for not play-
ing its full role in the peace ef-
fort, charging it with “letting down
its membership, its country, and
the world*® by not taking an ac-
tive part in the struggle for peace
along with other community and
public bodies,

“Today”, said Haynes, “we
read of the terrible toll of death
in Vietnam like reading stock
market quotations”.

‘Phoenix’ crew member Phil
Drath, in the quiet matter-of-
fact tones of his Quaker brethern,
revealed a story of great cour-
age and dedication in the historic
voyage of the 30-foot ketch
‘Phoenix’ on its mission of broth-
erhood and mercy across the
Pacific to aid the Vietnam vic-
tims of his country’s war hawks,
But neither the intimidation nor
terror of ‘buzzing’ U.S, jet
bombers — often almost touching
the ‘Phoenix’ masts, nor the
close-up picture-taking of the

Say Bessy
:

U,S, Seventh Fleet in the Bay of
Tonkin could compel the Quaker
crew to deviate from their course,

En route to Vietnam, Drath
also visited Hiroshima and car-
ried with him to Haipong — and
to the Peace Arch rally, tokens
of love and brotherhood — and
the pledge of Hiroshima peace
workers — “Never Again”!

Drath outlined to the audience
how the Quaker Society of Friends
in the U.S, have been barred,
followed and restricted in every
possible way by the U.S, State
and Treasury Departments from
sending money, medical aid or
other assistance to the stricken
people of Vietnam, and thus chose
the courageous ‘Phoenix’ voyage
as one way of getting help across,

“Mothers for Peace” groups
from Bellingham, Portland, Ta-
coma, Seattle and other Washing-
ton State centers at the rally
made donations totalling over
$2,000. to the Quaker Society of
Friends in readiness for the
‘second Phoenix’ voyage. Another
$1,214, collection for Vietnam
eame from the audience, while
other donations were made to
Dr, Allan Inglis of the Canadian
Medical Aid to Vietnam Commit-

tee,
