. The meeting viewed an excellent
film, ‘“‘Last Grave at Dimbazi,”
which graphically illustrated the
terrible suppression of the Black
people of South Africa.

Anne Bjarnason spoke for the
African National . Congress
Committee and urged the CCW to
take up the call for material

~ support for South African refugees.

Rosaleen Ross reported on the
recent International Peace Con-

ference in Warsaw, whose main’

theme was “‘Stop the Arms Race.”
She cited Canada’s 1977 $3.4 billion
defence budget while only $48
million is spent on medical
research. UNICEF, the United
nations agency charged with
furthering social progress has an

annual budget that corresponds .

with a sum that is expended every
11/2 hours on the world arms race.

The meeting endorsed a resolution -

calling for a ban on all weapons of
mass destruction, the neutron
bomb, the Trident submarine and
the convening of a United Nations
Conference on Disarmament.

The CCW parley agreed to form
a committee to work on plans for
International Childrens Year, 1979.
The chairman said, ‘‘Here is an
opportunity to study world-wide
the realities and achievement of
the noble aims adopted 20 years
ago’ in the United Nations
Declaration of Human Rights for
Children. International Women’s
Year suggested the Year of the
Child to the United Nations and it is
fitting that it will be observed
within the UN declared Decade for
Women.”

CP_names candidate

Manitoba election set

WINNIPEG — “Reactionary
forces are coalescing behind the
Tories in an attempt to shift
Manitoba politics sharply to the
right in the interest of big business.
The return of a Conservative
government would be a setback for
all working people for all those

- wanting to see Manitoba move

ahead,’’ said William Ross,
Manitoba Communist Party leader
last week.
Manitoba NDP premier Ed
Schreyer ended months of
speculation by finally calling a
provincial election for Oct. 11.

- Political forces in the province ~

are polarizing around the NDP And
the Tories.-The Liberal Party,

which only had three members in_

the last elgislature and whose
leader, Charles Huband was
unable to win a seat in the House,
are not expected to make any
significant gains.

Ross said the program of the
NDP under premier Schreyer and
their election solagan “Leadership
You Can Trust’ are ‘“‘totally
inadequate to meet the threat from
the right.”” The NDP are placing
the emphasis in their campaign on

their record over the past eight
years.
“While this includes a number of

‘long overdue and worthwhile

reforms it has not challenged the
monopoly interests and the
growing control of Manitoba’s
economy by the multi-national
corporations,” said Ross. —

The NDP has alientated some
labor support because of premier
Schreyer’s adherence to the
Liberal government’s wage control
program and the NDP refusal to
outlaw strike-breaking by the
employers.

“The Communist Party is giving
critical support to the NDP
government to prevent a Tory
victory and is calling for the
broadest independent political
action by the trade unions, farm
movement and other democratic
forces to generate pressure on the
NDP to adopt an anti-monopoly

‘program and keep Manitoba

moving left,” Ross said.

The .provincial Communist
leader said that the CP is-
proposing a democratic anti-
monopoly coalition, including the
NDP, CPC, the trade unions, farm

organizations, women, youth and’
native peoples groups, as the only
genuine alternative to the crisis
program of the monopolies and
their political parties.

He said the CP will be advancing
its own program in the election
campaign and that four candidates
have been nominated.

The main points in the Com-

-munist election platform include:

a plank calling for a program of
balanced economic development
based on public ownership and
control of the province’s natural
resources as the base for new
processing and manufacturing

‘industries providing thousands of

new jobs. :

Other planks call for taking
Manitoba out of the federal wage
control program; a crash program
to meet the education, health and
job needs of the native peoples; a
provincial prices review board
with powers to curb profiteering in
food and other essentials; a farm
program to provide a guaranteed
income; and an end to cutbacks in
education services and the

provision of quality education

throughout the entire province.
