aA campaign for establishment of a national power

hydro power, and spark development of a new industrial
complex in Western Canada with many thousands of new
jobs, has been launched by the B.C. Provincial Commit-

OR NATIONAL POWER GRID DEMA

As the debate on admission of People’s China in the United

3 | Nations entered its second week at the General Assembly, the
# United States and its allies, including Canada, were resorting to

new tricks to bar the world’s largest country from representation

at the U.N. |

In Canada and across the
world there is growing criti
cism of the obstructions put in
the way by NATO powers to
prevent China from getting its
legitimate seat in the U:N.

Recently, the quarterly
meeting of the United Church’s
Board of Evangelism and So-
cial Service urged that Can-
eda support membership in the
U.N. for the People’s Republic
of China.

The church body said U.N.
representation of China by the
Chiang Kai-shek regime wac
“a deplorable farce’? and that
the present government in
Peking was the effective one.

This is. the first time since

representation has been de-
bated in the General Assem-,
bly.
Fearing a straight vote, the
U.S. hopes to get the question
declared “important.” Such a
ruling, requiring only a simple
majority vote,,would mean the,
subsequently need a twpetiieds)
majority.

The U.S. is confident it can!
get the necessary one-third to
block China’s admission, which

port for the U-S. would come
from the NATO alliance and
from South American coun-
tries. H

Canada has already indicat-
ed that it will blindly fotlow
the U.S. lead on China, despite
the fact that China has become
one of Canada’s best trading

customers.

Friday, Senator Alfred J.|
Brooke, of the Canadian dele-|
gation, said Canada would sup-
port the USS. resolution ask-
ing the Assembly to say the
question Of China’s representa-
tion is a major matter requir-
ing a two-thirds vote for ap-
proval.

Observers at the U.N. say
Canada’s aim, faced with
sirong opposition at home on
the issue of China's representi-
ation, is anxious to have the
question declared “important.”
If this were done Canada could
then either abstain or even
vote for the China’s admission,
with little danger the proposal
would get the necessary ftwo-
thirds majority in any case.

The U.S. is busy drumming
up support for a “two-China’s”
stand which would keep its
stooge, the Chiang Kai-shek
regime, on the Security Coun-
cil and in the U.N. Canada’s
spokesman, echoing the Tory
government stand, told the
U.N. that. ‘a solution should
not be made at the expense of
Formosa.”

Attorney General
Kennedy is trying to force,the
U.S. Communist Party to reg-
ister as “an agent of the Soviet
Union” under the McCarran
Act.

Registration would require
the Party to identify its. of-
ficers and give details of its
finances. A 12-count indictment
was handed down by a Grand
Jury last week.

Gus Hall, who has been gen-
eral secretary of the Party,
told a press conference last
Thursday that for legal reasons

He said the Administration’s
prosecution was the first time
a political party had to plead

to stop such a thing happen-

Protests against the McCar-
