The Communist leader went on to state that the of the Communist Party would be a campaign for the interests of the working people of Can- ada. The spokesmen of the old- line capitalist parties seek to hide the fact that they speak for big monopoly, he charged. They dress up what they have to say in. vague terminology, aimed at appealing to the desires of the > people without actually doing anything for them. We come out clearly with our program.

The Cana- dian Peace Congress and all its councils across Canada call on Mr. Sharp to take the initiative in asking for action on the Warsaw Treaty proposals at th forthcoming conference. : Canada’s foreign policy, under Mr. Sharp, has been a deplorable cold-war echo of U.S. policies, which are in the interests of the big international monopoly cor- porations whose only aim is to extend control over the wealth of all countries, including Canada.
