LPP Growing Force As _ Program Takes Hold

By KAYLA CULHANE>

i= FIRST ROUND of the election campaign has been com-

pleted with the New Westminster by-election. The LPP, with a candidate in the field for the first time. has proven that it is a growing force in the settling of our countrys affairs, and the declining CCF yote has proven that their vote-catchine: policies are losing the confidence of the electorate.

The only point I intend dealing with right now is that 992 votes—how we got it. and how we can give it an even more substantial look on June 11. =

Since we know that our policy is fundamentally correct and iS recognized as such by all whom we contact, the only remaining problem is to let everyone in on it! :

To do that, we need elbow-grease and money.

Elbow-grease to get going and use every single afternoon and evening for either canvassing with our bright and attractive material, or organizing series of house-meetings, at which our candidate can plan to meet our neighbors. Three a night can and

has been done—do you think you can match that.

Never forget, the voter is just another guy who likes to know who and what he’s voting for, and if you get him to meet our representative, you can chalk that up as a sure yote—the facts are speaking for themselves these days, on both a national and international scale. After all, isn’t the San Francisco Gon— ference the sort of thing our party has been stumping for since the days of Spain—-what other candidate can point to such a record ? TAS

The second necessary essential is money. The great public goes for advertising: and we must be out there with a constant reminder that not only are we in the field with our proud record. but we want them to hear our radio broadeasts and come to our house meetings and public rallies TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES.

All this means advertising space in the dailies and radio time. During election period, this is done on the-basis of “Paid in Advance.” : j :

With our countless supporters and members tooting for our candidates In the various areas, we can go far. But, unless the rooting takes on a more concrete form, the advertising space and radio time are going to have to go by the board.

So, let’s be consistent about the thing -.. If the reader of this article really feels that our candidates can and should make the best showme, then you have no other choice but to get out and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. The above paragraphs shouldn*t leave much doubt as to how you can, either...

Personally, ’m convinced that we’re all set to go along with the stream of history, in 2 forward. progressive RUSH. -But YOU sare going to be the deciding factor, if we’re to make a dent on June ii that will really leave its mark in our campaign for—JOBS!—HOMES!—SECURITY!

Petain Trial

rial

PARIS — The return of Henri Phillipe Petain to France is regarded by labor and resistance groups here as a fascist maneuver to divide public opinion and the at- tempts already apparent in reactionary circles to white-

wash the record of the former Vichy premier are rais-

result of Petain’s return will be to defer his trial. as preparations were made for a trial in his ab- sence and the procedure now has to be changed. Vague assur-

place before July 1, but at the same time the Vichy-inspired press is pleading for “pardon for an old man.”

The National Council of Resis- tance last week adopted a reso- lution declaring: “The nation unanimously stigmatizes the treason of this man who deliver- ed France up to Nazi servitude. It demands his immediate trial so that the punishment due to traitors may be meted out.” Gas- ton Monmousseau, secrétary of

TELLS OF STRUGGLE

Burt sketched growing moves | by the UAW-CIO for indepen- cent, political action, culminat- ing in the decision to nominate UAW-Labor candidates. It was not a sudden idea, he said.

“We have to find persons who will sit down and forget partisan lines and stand for a lasting peace if we are to beat the post- war! problems in Windsor.

Referring to the underhanded campaign tactics, he declared that “the people who are calling me Communist are Col. George Drew, big business and the GCF. They are attempting to drag a red herring over the trail Tf thought the red herring was buried with Hitler but evidently they resurrrected -it from the dust.”’
