To speak out against those who, for narrow partisan gain and | political expediency, would com- mit Canada to this nuclear horror, now imposed upon our country by United States dictatorial inter- ference.” These were the words of Tom McEwen, editor of the Pacific Tribune and Communist Party candidate, nominated Friday of last week to contest the riding of Vancouver South. “The Liberal party, now more clearly seen as_ the American party, its national leader Lester Pearson and his lieutenant Arthur Laing in Vancouver-South, have now become the open advocates and salesmen for the Pentagon. For the imposition of nuclear arms in Canada now, for con- tinued domination of Canadian affairs by Washington, and under the guise of U.S. ‘‘friendship”’ and ‘‘stability’’ in Canadian affairs, ready and willing to have Canada transformed into an un- TOM McEWEN Fight to save Pacific fisheries gains support The fight by the United Fishermen and Allied Work- ers union to prevent Japan- ese encroachment on tradi- tional B.C. fishing grounds was marked by the follow- ing two developments last week: e The i0 New Democratic Party MP’s from B.C. wrote a letter to The Fisherman, or- gan of the fishing industry, in which they stated their flat Women’s Day Rally Sunday The International _ Women’s Day Committee has announced that it will be holding a cele- bration on Sunday, March 10, at the AUUC Hall, 805 E.

Pointing out that they had received many hundreds of post cards relating to the pro- vosed changes, their letter stated: “Our position with respect to the recommendations is clear. We are opposed to these changes being made to the treaty and during the re- cently dissolved parliament did everything we could to have the matter referred to, and dealt with, by the marine and fisheries committee of parliament.” e The B.C. provincial legi- slature on Wednesday of last week approved a government motion establishing a select standing committee on fish- eries to be composed of mem- bers for coast constituences. The chairman will be named by the committee. It is expected that UFAWU delegates will appear before the committee to present their case. protesting satellite for the war conspiracies of the U.S. trusts and the Pentagon. U.S. SALESMEN “The difference between the Diefenbaker Tories and the Pear- son Liberals on the bringing of nuclear arms to Canadian soil is only one of degree. For political expediency the Tories would leave the issue for NATO to ‘‘decide’’, and have these horror weapons “easily accessable’ if not quite on Canadian soil. Pearson, as the Canadian echo of Washington “brinkmanship” wants them available in Canada now, while the Socreds, keenly aware of public opposition, would leave the issue to the ‘‘experts.’’ And the “experts” in this case are the Pentagon and their Canadian Liberal, Tory and Socred nuclear salesmen. ' “American imperialism has chosen the Liberal party and Lester B. Pearson to complete the betrayal of Canada; to place nuclear weapons on Canadian territory and in the hands of Can- ada armed forces; to continue the subservience of Canada’s domestic and foreign policies to the will of the Pentagon. In Van- couver-South Arthur Laing is the Pentagon’s coldwar nuclear sales- man, just as Tom Kent, shipped into Burnaby-Coquitlam, has a like assignment.” OWN MASTERS In his appeal to the constituents of Vancouver-South to reject these salesmen of nuclear weapons, Mc- Ewen emphasized that the best outcome of this historic election would be the return of a majority of M.P.’s pledged to resist the introduction of nuclear arms in Canada with the NDP holding the ‘‘balance of power’’; and for the restoration of that measure of Canadian independence’ which would allow Canadians to deter- mine their own affairs, free from interference, obstruction or other pressures upon government and industry by Washington. “Then,’’ said McEwen, ‘‘Can- ada can begin again to forge its own destiny, and greet its cen- tennial of Confederation as mas- ters in our own house, rather than as a pawn of millionaire American trusts and govern- ments.”’ CARON TAKES ISSUE WITH DAVIS ON POWER, CHARGES PEARSON PLANS COLUMBIA SELLOUT Charles Caron, Communist Party candidate in Coast-Cap- ilano said this week he wel- comes the fact that Dr. Jack Davis, Liberal Party candi- date, has “discovered” that the draft Columbia River Treaty is a sell-out of Can- ada’s resources and ties our hands for future develop- ment. “Better late than never,” he said. In Davis’ free campaign articles in the Vancouver Sun he supports the immediate building of a power site at Mica Creek, and appears to support the right of Canada to .control her own fivers, that is, the right to diversion. He also calls for a new Treaty which would allow for step by step development. Caron points out that “at the close of his article Davis makes a serious error in fact which calls into question the integrity of the author. “Davis says, ‘Canadians must remember that time 1s not all on their side. If we do nothing the United States will eventually utilize most of the flows of the Columbia’. But this is precisely the point that United States Secretary of the Interior Stuart Udall has been saying every two months for the past five years! : “In effect agreement with this point is agreement that we are helpless without the United States, that we are de- pendent on the United States, that our bargaining position deteriorates with time. Noth- ing could be further from the truth. Because we are the up- stream country the United States is dependent on us. The point of the draft Treaty is to remove the U.S. depen- dence on Canada by our voi- untary surrender of the con- trol of Columbia River flows in Canada forever.” Caron pointed out that Dr. Davis does not speak for the Liberal Party. In fact, through Lester Pearson, the Liberal Party is officially on record for quick signing of the draft Treaty with a few minor revisions thrown in. this Jack Davis that national leader Lester Pearson is on record for the draft CHARLES CARON, who week reminded Liberal Columbia Treafy except for “minor changes” in wording. “The Liberals through Dr. Davis are trying to play both sides of a question simultan- eously. Dr. Davis cannot both be for a policy of dependence on the United States and against it at the same time,” Caron charged. “Having had the rug pulled out from him by Lester Pear- son’s outright advocacy of nuclear weapons for Canada, Dr. Davis is attempting to shift ground and to present a pro-Canadian image of the Liberal party and himself through the use of the Colum- bia_ issue. “Mr. Davis can prove his integrity on the nuclear arms and the Columbia issue by openly breaking with the Lib- eral Party, the American Party in Canada, as have other prominent members in recent weeks. Let us hope that before the campaign is over, Mr. Davis will make this dis- covery also,” concluded Caron. March 8, 1963—PACIFIC TRIBUNE—Page 3 _
