By V. VICTOR PORT PICKETING: Continues at this writing, The office work- ers strike which has idledthous- ands in the valley is a fine ex- ample of militant action, The strike is actually a crusade, a class struggle of the workers, The man Clyne is a tough cus-- tomer and is using all tactics to break the workers down, Valley Tidal Wave Victims would have been compensated for their losses at ninety-nine cents on the dollar if the unliberal Lib- eral Prime Minister had given but one fifth the amount he pledg- ed to the Alaska ’quake victims, If this isn’t subversion ask any Alberni Flood Victim, The ans- wer will be in stronger tone, but, essentially the same, One con- solation there will be few Liberal votes from the valley in the next Federal Election, * * NANAIMO’S LATEST: The lo- cal rag held a voluntary poll of readers as to their preference of a distinctive flag or the Red Ensign, It seems six hundred wanted the Ensign, while one hun- dred preferred the new distinc- tive flag with the Maple leaves, The fact that more people said they preferred the Red Ensign pleased the editors, And whynot? Does not the owner of this rag have a title purchased from the British, the country who designed the Ensign, * It seems, to be a good Cana- dian today, one must be anti- Canadian, or at least pro- Yank, or pro-British, Must we always have ‘‘hand-me-down’’ flags, **hand-me-down’’ foreign policy, and ‘‘hand-me-down”’ titles in order to prove we are not anti- American, or anti-British, which ever the case may be, The most difficult thing to be is, just Can- adian, * * REMORSELESS REMINDER: The recent dastardly murder ofa * Island news, ‘views and comments school girl in Squamish, reminds local residents of the two double murders here at Nanaimo that still remain unsolved, Something is lacking in crime solution in* capital offences, It is to be hoped the Squamish case has a better conclusion than Nanaimo’s four murders received, It isn’t that the Islandis not well policed; the same force that had a young man from Cowichan dis- charged from the Navy because it was thought he had an uncle who once belonged to the Communist Party, does all investigation on the Island, There are still thou- sands who think it is far more important to solve murders than it is to solve the riddle of what a persons political leanings may be. Lest it seem as though the . police are inefficient, be remind- ed these are the same officers who caught a man defacing the streets with ‘‘No Nuclear Arms’”’ signs, and a fine was levied; also _ the same department that helped - convict a man who stole thous- ands from the B,C, Ferries at which time a suspended sentence of six months was meted out, The same month an Indian woman was convicted of shop-lifting and she got a nine month stretch in the Provincial Gaol, You just can’t ¥ get away with anything, except murder, and the record proves the case, ' * * HEARD and OVERHEARD: The anti-labor Provincial Govern- ment is about to legislate a bill ‘to force arbitration in-all labor disputes, The last man to do that was named Schichelgruber, * There is much concern about flooding in the Delta, Members of the government are hoping the run-off will slow down before a spell of hot weather melts the remaining snow too quickly, It would save much embarrassment too much, ‘How to avoid split’ How to avert a split in the world Communist movement was out- lined in a recent article in the Soviet Communist Party news- paper Pravda, The threat of a split is a reality with which the world Com- munist movement must reckon, it said, “From the point of view of Marxist-Leninists, the emerg- ence of temporary differences between Parties is not some extraordinary event, ' “The point is to strive by joint effort to overcome these differ- ences in the interests ofthe com- -mon cause,” said the article, the eT Picture above shows Soviet Premier Khrushchev (left) and British Labor Party leader Har- old Wilson (right) during their recent talks in the Kremlin, Three days of detailed and far- ranging talks ended last week with a banquet in the Kremlin given by the Soviet Parliamen- tary group in honour of the Labor Party delegation, Wilson said he was very pleased with the talks, He re- leased an 11-point statement from the Labor Party delegation which outlined a proposal for an- nual summit meetings, during & e Khrushchov, meetings of the U.N, General Assembly, which, he _ said Khrushchov supported, The Labor Party statement also revealed two new proposals, One was for a U.N, convention making it “illegal for their na- tionals to assist other countries in the manufacture of. nuclear weapons and missile systems,” The second was that another U.N. convention should * require all nations to register with the: HAS CURE FOR WARMONGERS. Veteran trapper William ‘Bill’ Johnson of Sirdar, B.C., sent along his regular donation to the PT campaign, a list of this year’s fur catch which, even with fur prices up a little, probably - didn’t ret him half the price of a second-hand mink coat. He sent us the above picture with his third wolverine and a fine suggestion on how to atop war: “I'd like, said Bill, ‘‘to turn him loose in a roomful of war- later, Another Alberni would be i moneecs and sta nd back and watch the war.” Wilson talks conclude U.N, all sales of arms E hibit the private sale of a There was also 4 that there should be an mental project for Eas co-operation for econo social advancement “som in Africa,” Wilson were discussions on the P posed against the spread weapons and for a nuc in an agreed zone in C& Europe.
