LIBEL

Munro and Dean, dated April 17, read: “In accordance with your instructions, we have had this matter settled by obtaining a re- lease from Brown in favor of yourself and the other defend- ants, and by obtaining a court order dismissing the entire ac- tion without costs to any party.

“We now beg to enclose the

release, along with a copy of the -

court order, and to advise that the sum of $750 has been duly paid to Brown’s solicitor, Mr. T. A. Dohm.”

The order ‘of the Supreme Court of British Columbia read: “Upon the application of the Plaintiff for an Order dismissing this action without costs to any party hereto; and upon hearing the pleadings and proceedings had and taken herein; and upon hearing Mr. Thomas A. Dohm of Counsel for the Plaintiff, and Mr. John Stanton of Cousel for the Defendants consenting;

“This court doth order and adjudge that this action do stand dismissed without costs to any party hereto.”

Settlement of the libel action — which arose out of reports published in the Pacific Tribune

on the Clarence Clemens case—

means that the demand advanced by this paper for an annulment of the coroner’s jury verdict by the attorney-general can now become the central issue in this paper’s fight for justice and against racial discrimination.

“Attorney General Robert Bon- ner has assured the many trade unions and other organizations which have protested the ver- dict in the Clemens case that his department will inquire into all the circumstances. That in- quiry must be held without fur- ther delay,” said PT editor Tom McEwen this week. (See editorial on page 5.)

Morgan’s statement continued:

“The 15-minute ‘free time’ broadcasts are heard every Mon-s day at 10:15 p.m. over the CBG network and independent sta- tions throughout the province. Provided to give’ radio listeners an opportunity of hearing all political parties that qualify un- der the CBC’s White Paper, the LPP had been left out of the original allocation of time.

“Application for inclusion of the LPP in the series, and sup- porting evidence that the LPP will definitely qualify under CBC regulations with a minimum of 20 candidates was submitted to. CBC Regional Director Kenneth Caple this week.

“Announcement of the dates of LPP broadcasts is expected shortly.”

In a direct appeal to the Cana- dian’ government, Dr. Endicott urged that it act at once to call on the five great powers to “sit down and negotiate a peace treaty to end the cold war before it becomes a hot war and turns our country into a graveyard.”

“Let them get together and ne- gotiate and let them write out their agreement as a pact of peace for all the world to see. That is what would revive and restore the UN to the purposes of its noble charter. A pact of peace will open up world trade, free vast sums of money for pt aid and public bene-

While welcoming Eisenhower’s address, the Canadian peace leader was not uncritical of its terms, stressing that the aim of the peace movement was to seek “solutions, not proof of causes.”

Carrying through of the prin-

ciples outlined by Eisenhower :

hinges on agreement of the five great powers, Dr. Endicott said.

“President Eisenhower makes no proposal for a meeting to ‘start negotiations. He leaves his proposals hanging in the air, but the logic of his speech calls for a high level meeting and negotia- tions. This is the task for the growing force of the peace movement, here and in the U.S. and in every country—to bring that meeting to pass.”

In listing the five Powers, the speaker made it clear they should include People’s China. “The fatal: weakness in the UN today

DR. JAMES ENDICOTT

is that the charter has been in- terpreted by some smart cor- poration lawyers so that China is read to mean Formosa. China is the mainland of China and that government must be admitt- ed to the council chambers of the world without delay.”

Eisenhower’s treatment of causes of the cold war would generate differences of opinion, Dr. Endicott told his audience. “The peace: movement has al- Ways concentrated on solutions— solutions mutually acceptable— and we found at Vienna that agreement was possible only if we agreed to deal with solutions and not with causes, History will judge the accuracy of Eisen- hower’s historical analysis but
