_ “MADE-IN-JAPAN’

Marine unionists picket
MacMillan Bloedel ship

By JIM BEYNON
On Thursday, May 23, twenty
members of the Marineworkers and
Boilermakers Industrial Union,

Canadian Brotherhood Railway

Trainmen (Seamens Section), and
the Seafarers International Union,
took to the picket line to emphasize
the plight of shipyard workers and
seamen.

The picket line was in Port Moody
around the ship ‘‘H.R. MacMillan’,
a run away flag ship owned by the
Canadian Pacific Steamships
Bermuda Ltd. a tax evading
subsidiary of the C.P.R., the ship
built in Japan, manned by a non-
Canadian crew and officers leased to
MacMillan Bloedel to ship raw
materials from B.C. to Japan.

These signs carried by pickets
marked the feeling of these men of a
dying Canadian industry: “Jobs for
Canadian Seamen’’, ‘‘H.R.
MacMillan-built in Japan’’,
“Shipyard Workers Unemployed’’
and““‘B.C. Shipyards Closed Down’.
They picketed until nine in the
Morning stopping all work on the
Ship.

One question that must be asked
during the coming Federal Elections
is: ‘‘Will the candidates stop the
Selling out of Canadian jobs to
foreign countries not only in the form
of the rape of Canadian raw
materials to feed foreign industry at

Support students,

Unions in France

A statement of solidarity with the
students and workers of France,
signed by student leaders and trade
unionists, was presented to the
French consulate in Vancouver last
Friday.

The statement reads as follows:

“For the past month, the workers
and students of France have been
Struggling against the reactionary
French government. The students
initated the struggle with a call to
reform the universities. Their
demonstrations were brutally
repressed by the police. This
brutality and the justice of their
demands led both teachers and
workers to support the students.

‘‘As workers and students in
Vancouver we declare our solidarity
with their struggle to democratize
the university and bring about a
workers’ government in France.”

Among those signing the statement
were: Tom Clarke (IWA), Bob Clair
(IWA), John Cleveland (SFU),
Beverly Gibbs (SFU), Peter
Hlookoff, Jeff Holter (UBC), Bert
Johnson, Carol Ann Power, Brian.
Slocock (SFU), Dodie Weppler
(SFU).

Two Tribs
each week

In case you didn’t read our
announcement last week you
may be wondering why this
week’s issue is only eight
pages. As explained last week:
from now until the Federal
election our readers will
receive two 8-page papers
each week.

One of these will be an 8-
page PT edition which you will
receive on the regular mailing
date. The other 8-page paper
will be mailed to our readers
direct a few days later from
the National Tribune in
Toronto.

Through these 16 pages
(instead of the present 12 each
week) we hope to keep our
readers fully informed on
election issues, ana also
enable the Communist press to
play a bigger role in the
election campaign across
Canada. Both editions will be
distributed to voters in
thousands of copies each
week.

DR. JAMES ENDICOTT

‘Vietnam role
is shameful’

Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s speech
suggesting Canadian troops be used
in Vietnam to supervise is
‘‘monsterous’ said Dr. James
Endicott, chairman of the Canadian
Peace Congress, at a public meeting
in Toronto last week. :

“Canada has played a shameful
role. Rather than offering our
supervision, we owe them an apology
for our perversion of the Geneva
Accords,” he said. ‘“This country has
always been on the side of the U.S. in
its war against Vietnam.”

“L.B.J. wants 20,000 marines
back in Wisconsin.”

STILL NEED $5,000

See you at the
victory banquet

ERNIE CRIST, Drive Manager
On our PT sustaining fund drive for $17,000, we have
raised $12,000 — short $5,000 of our goal.

Last year at the beginning of June
when we faced a shortage of $5,000
towards our goal, we extended the
drive for two weeks until our official
wind-up celebration in the middle of
June. During those last two weeks
we managed to raise the $5,000 and
concluded our drive successfully.

This year, because of the Federal
election on June 25th — an event in
which many of our readers and
supporters actively participate, w
are unable to do this. -

However, we still expect a
considerable portion of the $5,000 —
the amount which we must raise to
conclude our drive — to be raised in
the remaining two weeks between
now and the Victory Banquet on June
14.

Many clubs have already reached
their goal or have gone over it. Many

additional clubs will undoubtedly

fulfill their pledges by the time of the
Victory Banquet, and all other clubs,
we are sure, will fulfill their pledge
soon after the election or in the early
fall.

We would dearly love to announce
at the banquet on June 14 that the
drive has been concluded
successfully, despite the additional
obligations which the Press Clubs
are undertaking towards the election
campaign. We hope this will be made
possible by your efforts in the next
two weeks.

* * *

As we said before, the Victory
Banquet will be held on Friday June
14 at the Yen Lock Restaurant on 67
East Pender St. and will be served in
the Chinese manner.

The entertainment will be
provided by the ‘‘Grass Roots’, a

well known group of young
Vancouver folk singers. In addition
we will feature the well known
Vancouver accordion virtuoso Leo
Aquino. There will also be a
presentation of awards to clubs and
individuals that have distinguished
themselves towards the fulfillment
of the campaign.

Tickets for the banquet are now
available at the Pacific Tribune
office, Mezz 3 - 193 East Hastings, or
the Co-op Bookstore on 341 West
Pender St. for $2.00. The banquet will
start at 6.30 p.m. sharp.

We urge all our friends and
supporters to get their tickets early
since the number of tickets is
limited.
