Remember! — it was U.S. pressure
to force nuclear arms on Canada which
brought on this election in the first place.
It was the U.S. determination to de-
government and
help elect their obedient servant, the Lib-

liamentary crisis.
Is it not clear then that these are

Morris tells large city rally —

Addressing a giant election
rally at the Pender Auditorium
last Sunday, Leslie Morris, na-
tional leader of the Communist
Party, pledged that the party
will do all in its power to in-
crease the NDP popular vote from
one million in the last election
to two million in the current one.
The reason for this was because
the NDP was the only major
political party committed to flat
rejection of nuclear weapons, he
said. 3

The birth of a great third party
movement is taking place in Can-
ada and in Quebec in particular,
Morris stated. ‘History is being
made before our very eyes.”

Tracing the Liberal party’s rec-
ord of betrayal and subservience
to Washington, he quoted exten-
sively -from a 1960 speech by
Liberal defence critic Paul
Hellyer, a speech — in which
Hellyer said: ‘We should scrap
the Bomarce . . . it is a piece of

ICBM is like fighting a sword
with a toothpick.

But the Liberals have since
changed their minds about the
effectiveness of the Bomarc be-
cause Canada’s prolonged refusal
to accept nuclear arms has con-
stituted a thorn in the side of
U.S. imperialism.

This fact, when taken with re-
eent rebuffs of U.S. policy in
Italy, France, Britain, West
Germany and Southeast Asia, has
forced the Kennedy administra-
tion to take a ‘‘get tough’’ policy
with Canada. “And what better

He went on to predict that “‘if
a Liberal government is return-
ed on April 8, we will soon go far
beyond the Bomarc _ missile.
ICBM'’s and intermediate missiles
will be installed in our country,
exposing the hypocrisy of the
Liberal’s present ‘purely defen-

arms.”

He further warned that our
diplomatic relations with Cuba,
our wheat sales to China, our
empty seat (marked Canada and
held in reserve) in the Organ-
ization of American States would
soon quickly be resolved in favor
of the wishes of the U.S., under
Liberal rule.

oughly debunked by’ Morris, who
said that the only kind of gov-
ernment that party was _ inter-
ested in producing was one which
would completely cave in to U.S.
pressures on all fundamental
issues.

“What’s wrong with a minority
government, anyway?’’ he asked
his listeners, adding: “‘Let’s keep
politics fluid in this country —
they‘ve been in the deep freeze
long enough! It’s not such a bad
idea to have politicians face the
electors a little more often”

While pointing out the dangers
in a Liberal win, Morris made it
very clear that there is still time
to prevent this — despite the fact
the big money of Bay St. and St.
James St. is backing its chosen
party.

“But a Tory government would
be no guarantee against nuclear
arms, because that party is split
on this issue,’’ he said. Social
Credit, on the other hand, has
two policies on this question—one
for Quebec and another for the
rest of the country.

Calling for the election of a
no nuclear arms government,
Morris concluded by stating that’
“we are on the front pages of
the world press and we must
demonstrate to the world that the
parliament of this counry will
not kow-tow to Washington.”

The audience of 1,000 was treat-
ed to a skit on the election,
written and presented by the
Labor Drama Group, and to the
offerings of two competent folk
song groups. Leading trade union-
ist W. A. (Bill) Stewart acted as
