Alleg- edly, this was done to obtain. payment of loans made to NAME. It is an open secret in labor circles that the top brass of the SIU in Canada would like to take over the NAME and Masters and Mates Guild. An emergency meeting of the Vancouver Port Council, made up of CLC unions con- nected with the waterfront was held Wednesday. The meeting discussed the serious threat to labor represented by the use of the Civil Defense Act in a labor dispute and the subsequent use of court injunctions to make it stick. A meeting of the B.C. Fed- eration of Labor executive and staff officers from mem- ber unions is expected shortly to examine the same ques- tions. BALANGE The Soviet government, which originally proposed a summit conference on the Middle East in Geneva (to include India, Britain, the USSR, France, the U.S. and United Nations secretary-general Dag Hammarskjold) this week agreed to a United Nations summit conference on condition that India and Arab nations also be invited. Premier Nikita Khrushchev suggested that the session be held next Monda The United States, which tried to cold-shoulder the or- iginal Soviet proposal for a top level meeting to try and solve the explosive war situa- tion created by the landing of American troops in Lebanon, was forced by world pressure to change its tune. At Pacific Tribune press time it was not known whether President Eisenhower would agree to the inclusion of India and Arab representa- tives, or whether the U.S. would continue to stall. While the desire for peace is obvious in most countries of the world, war-like circles in the U.S. are still advancing policies that could result in wide-scale war. The military build-up goes on. More U.S. paratroops are airlifting to Lebanon. The Sixth Fleet con- trols 150 miles of the Levant seaboard. In Moscow this week Premier Khrushchey bluntly told the U.S. and Britain that they must remove their troops from Lebanon and Jordan. “We do not want war,” he said, and again challenged the West to compete peacefully with the Soviet Union along economic lines. “The U.S. and Britain must show wisdom and _ under- standing of the times and pull their troops out of Lebanon and Jordan,” the Soviet prem- ier continued. “The glacier of the ages is moving, it is breaking up and crushing everything in its path, all the colonial and im- perialist policies of old. “Take the Baghdad Pact. One day it is here, the next day it is gone. On July 14 Baghdad shook off the im- perialist yoke. “The Arabs are not Marx- ists. They are fighting under the fiat of national liberation. That is the first step. Then let them build their own 1#e as they see fit. But it is nec- essary that no foreign boot be in their country.” ee 5 > More British paratroops (above) were airlifted from Cyprus to Jordan this week, and U.S. troops continued to pour into Lebanon, thus heightening the war crisis in the Middle East. Almost two-thirds of the Lebanon parliament was reported opposed to the U.S. landings, but Washington pursues its provocative policy, aimed against the Arab liberation movement. Until all British and U.S. troops are withdrawn the danger of new moves, involving a danger to world peace, will be acute. Purpose of the Anglo-American buildup is to destroy the new progressive regime in Iraq. Flectricians ask Wicks to fire Robert Forgie Locked - out electricians, members of Local 213, Interna- tional Brotherhood of Elec- trical Workers, have requested the “immediate removal” of Robert Forgie, the govern- ment - appointed conciliation oficer in their seven weeks old dispute with employers. Art O’Keeffe, union local president, has wired Labor Minister Lyle Wicks accusing Forgie of ‘unethical pro- cedures.” The union claims that For- gie met twice with the Em- ployers Electrical Association before he met with the associ- ation and the union together. “Forgie’s actions are not conducive to the promotion of industrial _ peace,” said O’Keeffe. The union has already start- ed court action against Hume and Rumble Ltd. and J. C. McRae Ltd. for wages lost for any part of the lockout the court declares illegal. The case will be heard next Wednesday. Similar actions may be launched against other contractors.
