COMMUNIST PARTY MAY DAY MESSAGE

UNITE! DEFEND JOBS,

N this May Day 1975, Canadian
workers are voicing their de-
mands for an end to layoffs, for
an end to monopoly price-fixing
and profiteering, for a roll-back
of prices and profits, a curb of

monopoly and the multi-national cor- -

porations which are the chief culprits
behind galloping inflation, and for a
policy of full empoyment as a right for
every Canadian.

In resolutions, meetings, demonstra-
tions and every form of mass-action, in-
cluding strikes, working people reject
the concept of any and all so-called
“equality-of-sacrifice” to help solve an
economic crisis for which the working
people bear no responsibility.

Today we are living in a world where
the forces of peace and of socialism are
advancing, while the forces of imperial-
ism and war are being pushed back,
isolated and defeated. This reality
makes it an urgent necessity for Can-
ada to reassess both domestic and fore-
ign.policy in conformity with this new
reality. Both present and future needs
of Canadians demand a complete rever-
sal of national policy in economic, social
and political spheres.

The Communist Party, mindful of the
fact that capitalist monopoly domina-
tion, both foreign ‘as well as domestic,
constitutes a block to economic and
social progress, works for an alliance
of all anti-monopoly forces here at
home and for solidarity with the forces
of peace, progress and socialism abroad.

Canada must stand four square for
detente and against those who advoc-
ate cold war and confrontation. It must
go all out in support of the peoples
striving for national and social libera-
tion.

ity—

e the working class must go all out
in pledges of support to the heroic peo-
ples of South Vietnam and Cambodia
and see that medical supplies, food and
clothing are sent them

e the working class must strengthen
the campaign for. the release of Luis
Corvalan and all other political prison-
ers in Chile, and join hands with the
peoples everywhere to bring about the
defeat of the military junta

e the working class must pledge so-
lidarity support to the people of Por-
tugal and tell NATO and U.S. imperial-
ism — Hands Off Portugal!

e the working class must raise its
voice for an end to racism, apartheid,
and anti-semitism, and for the right of
peoples everywhere to develop their
own resources and determine their own
destiny without outside interference.

On this day of international solidar-

RADE UNION RIGHTS!

_ expense of the muli-national corpora-

Not least, in face of the power of the

multi-national corporations the work-

ing-class and trade union movement on
a worldwide scale must strengthen
their unity and cooperation in every
way.
e

May Day 1975 finds a powerful and
growing trade union movement engag-
ed in a struggle to: a) defeat the mono-
poly offensive on living standards, on
jobs and on trade union rights; b)
ensure that the fruits of technological
change accrue to the working people in
the form of jobs for all, economic sec-
urity and a better life: c) redistribute
the national income in favor of working
people who produce all wealth, at the

tions and the wealthy.

United economic action must be com-
bined with united political action based ;
on cooperation between the New Demo-
cratic Party and the Communist Party
toward the end of curbing monopoly
power through nationalization of the
commanding heights of the economy,
including natural resources, energy,
transportation, communications, banks
and national credit.

Forward to Canadian independence,
international solidarity with the forces
of peace, democracy and _ socialism,
toward a socialist Canada. :
