the provincial scene. “It isa

actionary policies that they -are

ties.” .
The CCF must always. go one
better. When the unions advance
the eighthhour day slogan, in-
stead of fighting for it, the CCF
states that they do not have to
fight for it, but for a six-hour
day.:And I am sure that if the
six-hour day became the slogan
they will ask for the three-hour
day.

To advance slogans that are
irresponsible gives the impres-
sion that the working class
are leeches who are seeking to
exist on the backs of society
instead: of being men. and wo-
men-who are trying to get.rid ~
af those. who. live’ on their
backs.”” Unless wé make this
clear, we: are condemning to
destruction the cause of the
working class.”

To provide security in our province we
propose:

@ B.C.’s hydro-electric power must: be
developed under public ownership far be-
yond its present 10 percent of full cap-
acity. This development will not only open
new jobs but cheap power will enable the
growth of industry and bring greater
benefits to our communities. Public owner-
ship will help the consumer and must
guarantee trade union conditions to. all
employed in the industry.

@ Immediate action should be taken
to establish a steel industry in B.C. In
addition to increasing employment, a B.
C. steel industry will immensely aid in
the speedy construction of hospitals, re-
ereational centers. and other public fa-
cilities. Its development is essential for
shipbuilding and machine manufacturing
for heavy industry.

@ The PGE Railroad should be com-
pleted under public ownership. This would
open the vast wealth of the northland to
development:

@ Save our ferest wealth. The for-
ests are our most valuable asset. We need
a modeérn reforestation program “which
would safeguard our forests from waste
and bring about the fullest utilization of

. our wood resources.

@ B.C. agriculture must be given a ~
new deal. The primary producer must be.
guaranteed a just return for his produce.

Farmers must be protected by law against

foreclosures and crop failures. The fullest

What Kind Of Government?

This is the program British Columbia re-
quires. We need a government with vision and
determination to implement it. Such a gov-

~J8rnment-must not be tied to the apron strings

‘of big business.

The Hart-Maitland coalition government
represents the vested interests. It ordered the
election, motivated by its desire for narrow
partisan advantage. While this government,
under pressure, made some concessions to the
‘people, the Tory-Liberal parties have. now
united in an unholy alliance to prevent: fur=
ther progress in B.C. By promoting the Tory-=
Liberal unity in this election the big industrial-
ists hope to perpetuate their domination, over
the political life of the province. This reac-
tionary coalition faces the people with the
danger of losing ‘the fruits of the hardwon
victory.

What is the alternative to the reactionary
coalition? The facts show that neither the
CCF, LPP, or any other group by itself car
hope to defeat the coalition of Tories and
Liberals. There is but one alternative.. The
Coalition of Reaction can Only be Defeated;
by a Coalition of Progressive Ferces.

The LPP, CCF, People’s CCF, labor
and farm organizations must join hands
to defeat the Liberal-Tory conspiracy of
big business and elect in its. place a.coali-
tion government made up from: these. pro--
gressive parties and groups...

We fully support the appeal of the B.C.
Federation of Labor ‘for unity of all progres-

De sive forces around ‘one candidate in’ each .con=
>'istituency. We regret ‘that narrow considera::

tions caused the CCF leadership to‘reject® these
proposals and earnestly appeat: “tO thes to? re-

*-eonsider the position.
