Saskatchewan Liberals, Tories maneuver in effort to oust CCF REGINA—With a provincial election almost a certainty in 1948, political activity here is reaching a feverish pitch. Nominations are proceeding rapidly in most constituencies, candidates being named by Liberal, Conservatives, Social Credit and CCF parties. The biggest development on the Saskatchewan scene is the effort of the two old parties to forge a workable alliance strong ermough to unseat the present CCF government. At the moment, the Liberals and Tories are voicing vigorous denials of any intention of coali- tion or combination on their part against the CCF. Strongest pro- testations come, of course, from the Liberals. As the stronger of the two parties, they obviously want coalition on their own terms. This was the reason for Jimmy Gardiner’s special trip to Sas- katchewan, in which he ‘rejected’ coalition and warned of its ‘dan- gers.’ Walter Tucker, Liberal leader, promptly asserted that the Liberals had no deal, ar- rangement or saw-off with any other party. MP, provincial |, Whereupon Rupert Ramsay, the Saskatchewan Tory leader, accus- ed the two of running the Liberal party “from the top down.” Their anti-coalition stand, Ramsay said, “was contrary: to the expressed wish of most Liberal constitu- ency associations.” Anyway, he declared the Conservatives would nominate candidates “right across the board.” It takes no reading between the lines to see that beth Liberals and Tories are shadow-boxing. The lie is given to the pro- testations of both parties by their nominations in Saskatoon. In this two-member seat, Lib- erals and Tories have nomin- ated only one candidate apiece, each party for the announced reason that in this way they may succeed in defeating the CCF, which now holds both of the seats. Similar saw-offs are expected in the other urban two-member seats. Whatever the strategy, political observers here are agreed that the potential hook-up represents a real threat to the survival of the CCF government in the next election. ; Meanwhile, the Labor-Progres- sive Party has announced that it will support the CCF in the next election and will itself run can- didates in only a few constitu- encies. “We are strongly opposed to 4 return to power of the old-line parties or a coalition of them and as a consequence we will support the CCF,” said Nelson Clarke, provincial LPP leader. $1,700 raised for Daily Tribune More than $1,700 has been sub- scribed in B.C. to the foundation fund of the Daily Tribune, the new labor tabloid, which, in the short time since its taunching on May i, has already won a big following ‘in Eastern Canada. This sum represents the contributions of leaders and rank-and-file mem- bers of trade unions, progressive community groups, and LPP members. Realizing the need for estab- lishing and maintaining a daily newspaper that speaks in the interests of the Canadian people, John Stanton, chairman of the Civic Reform Committee of Vancouver, pledged to contri- bute $100 for the purchase of certificates to the Daily Tri- bune Foundation Fund. - Leading figures in the LPP who have purchased certificates include Nigel Morgan, provincial leader, Maurice Rush, provincial organizer, and Viola McRae, act- ing Vancouver director. Among trade unionists pur- chasing certificates last week were nine members of IWA loggers’ Local 1-71, whose con- tributions totalled $250. Harvey Murphy, Western Ca- nadian director for the Interna- tional Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers (CIO-CCL), re cently took out a $50 certificate. All Vancouver LPP clubs were urged to secure a $50 certificate each, as soon as possible, the LPP city committee informed the Pacific Tribune. The _ Victory Square Club has already acted on this suggestion, having secured a $50 certificate. The nine IWA members from Local 1-71 are members of the Victory Square Club. ‘ : Members of the Pacific Tri- bune staff have instituted a ‘check-off’ until their commit- ment to buy a $50 certificate is fulfilled. All PT readers wishing to sup- port this important venture in people’s journalism, are urged to communicate with the _ secre- tary, Daily Tribune Foundation Fund, 650 Howe Street, Vancou- ver. Certificates are being sold in fifty, twenty-five, ten and five- dollar denominations. Installment payments will be arranged for those desiring to purchase a cer- tiflecate over a period of time. Would convey views LONDON — Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin will be asked to express to the U.S. government the British conviction that the Taft-Hartley law represents a “denial of elementary civil lib- erties.” The request is being made by John Platts-Mills, Labor M.P., who said he hoped that joint action of AFL, CIO and all democratic Americans would lead to speedy repeal of “this oppres- sive legislation.’ Drive to get aid for disabled launched by city organization A broad campaigr: to compel the federal government t0 pass legislation to give financial grants and other assistance to physically and mentally disabled veterans and civilians was launched last week by the Council for the Guidance of the Handicapped in Vancouver with the active support ° 50 social service groups. Treatment of disabled persons has long been a grievance with the council and allied organiza- tions. Complaint is made that no facilities are provided to train handicapped civilians and aid them in finding useful work. The council wants provision made for adequate medical treatment. It also wants estab- lishment of home industries for shut-ins and _ special centers where disabled persons may take trade courses, with main- tenance grants given during the training period. Last Friday Colonel H. EB. Good- man, regional supervisor of spe- cial placements for National Em- ployment Service, announced that free job training facilities would be made available for disabled persons, possibly within a month. Facilities at the Canadian voca- tional Training School in Vancou- Youth support civic center The Youth Commission of the Labor-Progressive Party here last week pledged its full support to Vancouver Town Planning Com- mission’s efforts to secure a sec- ond ‘municipal plebiscite in Dec- ember for construction of a civic center on the proposed downtown site. “We feel that a civic center is an absolute necessity in the pro- vision of proper recreational and social facilities for Vancouver’s young people. Such a _ project would go far in helping to allev- flate the miserable conditions out- lined in last week’s survey of the Community Chest Council, which reported that a _ certain downtown area of Vancouver lack- ed playground facilities of any sort,’ the LPP Youth statement said. For these reasons it is felt that plans for construction or the center should be proceeded with at the earliest possible time. The action of the school board in re- questing the civic center site for construction of a vocational school should be refused by city council, but efforts should be made to secure another location for a vo- cational school, as this also is a much needed project. “We believe that a civic center would benefit a very large and important part of the city’s citi- zens, and urge city council to put this question to the voters again for endorsation.” : ver would be provided, he stated, and all disabled persons, except veterans still eligible under their own CVT scheme and apprentices: would be allowed to take advan- tage of the training facilities. Those taking part in the scheme are to be paid subsistence rates ranging from $1.15.to $3.00 daily depending on their marital status and place of residence. * * xi Interviewed by the Pacific Tri bune this week, F. L. Stackhouse first vice-president of the Dis abled Veterans’ Association, spoke of his experiences in trying t° get adequate disability grants a? medical aid for disabled veterans of two world wars. “It’s a battle to get a fair deal for these Peo ple,” he said. He approved of me efforts of Council for the Disabl and the Handicapped to a Cay favorable legislation for disable peoplé. ‘ Stackhouse pointed out that ind DVA is asking the federal author ities to continue individual dis@ bility pensions after a person ee comes eligible for an old age Pe? sion (at 70 years). Under pres ent regulations, the disability Per" sion is virtually eliminated wh® the old age pension is grantet although the physical handicap m8 the individual necessitates extT? medical attention. ; x *& * 3 A glaring example of gover ment neglect of older and han 4 capped people was afforded by t 57-year old veteran of the ai- world war, nearly deaf and han capped by an injured hand.
