LPP election rally Sunday

Nigel Morgan, LPP provin- cial leader and candidate in Vancouver Centre, will out- line his party’s program and introduce all LPP eandidates in the GreaterVancouver area

at a final election rally, to be held this coming Sunday, Sep- tember 16, at 8 p.m. in Pender Auditorium, 339 West Pender

Street.

Auditorium Wednesday night this week, in the course of a slashing attack on Premier Bennett’s “giveaway policies.”

Morgan said he received his information on the pending coal giveaway from members of the United Mine Workeers in the area.

“The California press this week has been discussing an- other pipeline to carry Cana- dian oil directly to California for U.S. industrial expansion,” Morgan continued.

“A new batch of Forest Management Licenses . are ready to be finalized. . Addi- tional shipments of unmanu- factured wood pulp and forest resources are being contem- plated once’ these licenses go through — which means still more B.C. jobs down the pipe- line,

“Premier Bennett has call- ed the election now in the hope of getting his govern- ment safely re-elected as the first step to proceeding with these deals and carrying out his. secret agreement with powerful foreign monopolies for an extension of the give- away.

“The future of British Col- umbia hangs in the balance. Shall we export our resources and with them our jobs, or are we going to use them to ex- pand our own industrial de- velopment? Are we going to develop the vast power po- tential of this province in a way that will benefit the peo- ple of B.C., or are we going to drift along for another five years, content with being mere hewers of wood and drawers of water, with all its conse-

quences in terms of. employ-—

ment, business opportunities, and professional and scientific development?

“Next Wednesday, Septem- ber 19, the people will go to the polls to express their opinion on these questions. We need elected representa- tives in Victoria who can be counted on to halt the give- away of our hydro, gas, oil, forest and mineral resources.”

Eden govt threatens Nasser

LONDON

The Conservative govern- ment of Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden_ threatened Egypt with naked aggression this week. :

Only a few days after Brit- ish Communist leader John Gollan had said that the in- stinctive Tory imperialist re- action to nationalization of the Suez Canal had been for Ang- lo-French military interven- tion and warned that peace was not safe in the hands of the Tories, Eden proved the charge correct in his bellicose

speech to the House of Com- mons.

Eden said the Western Big Three — Britain, France and United States — were setting up a new international asso- ciation to run the Suez Canal.

If Egypt could not be made tg accept multi-national con- trol of the Suez Canal “by the pressure of international opin- ion,” he said, then it must be made to do so “by other means.”

Labor leader Hugh Gaits- kell who, in the earlier debate on August 2, encouraged the governnient in its stand, said that during the intervening weeks “wide differences of opinion have emerged in the country and there has been a very animated and serious de- bate in the press.
