On June 9 the ‘people of ' British Columbia will go to the polls to elect a new provincial government; in the fall, a federal election battle will take place. The Pacific Tribune has a vital role to play in both these election cam- paigns. It will be a powerful democratic weapon in the hands of canvassers work- ing for labor candidates; in its pages the ‘programs of these candidates will be featured, at a time when the big capitalist dailies will “‘black out’’ news of Labor- Progressive candidates. In the election campaigns the Pacific Tribune will seek to arouse, unite and @ Canadian independence and peace. @ Friendship and trade with all countries. @ Trade union unity in wage struggles.

We ask every reader to make a donation, and readers who have steady jobs to give the equivalent of a day’s pay. We do not think that this is too much to ask when the very life of our paper is at stake. -Among our supporters are many unemployed workers, old age pensioners, and persons of limited means.
