Within hours after Premier Davis’s
announcement that the provincial elec-
tion would be held on Oct. 21, the On-
tario Committee of the Communist
‘Party issued a statement declaring that
“a great opportunity is before the peo-
ple of Ontario to reverse the present
economic crisis gripping our province
and move forward to a new democratic

trolled Ontario for 28 years, are
in disarray and totally inade-
quate to meet the problems fac-

Medical ethics
of transplants

By BERT WHYTE

Writing in Pravda, Academi-
cian Boris Petrovsky, the
USSR minister of health, point-
ed out that operations on the
heart and major vessels are now
performed in many Soviet clin-

~ics. Kidney transplantation 1s
widely used and also bone and
joint transplants.

“Questions of ethics and mor-
als of a doctor assumed a parti-
cular importance in connection
with -the era of transplants,
Petrovsky wrote, ‘Tt is neces-
sary to preclude the possibility
of dangerous operations on
humans purely for inner
‘science’s sake.’ We realize full
well that even the much-tested
surgical operation entails a defi-
nite risk for a patient. This is
the essence of the surgical
method. But the doctor must do
all to decrease as much as pos-
sible the risk of operative treat-
sible so that an operation should
not be more dangerous than the
disease. This attitude is win-

in the new field of-surgery,

ers behind the Tory facade at
Queen’s Park, are coming into
direct conflict with the interests
of majority of the people. It
comes at a time when slavish
subservience to U.S. imperialism
has aggravated the economic
crisis of monopoly capitalism,
and brought us to the brink of
disaster with the prospect of un-
precedented unemployment this
coming winter.

“It comes at a time when the
Tories are cutting back on edu-
cation, social services, health
and hospital facilities. It comes
at a time when Ontario workers
and farmers are on the edge of
revolt against policies which are
forcing them from their jobs,
from the land. It comes at a
time when the democratic up-
surge of the people against all
these unbearable expressions of
‘monopoly capitalism is swelling.

“This election offers to the
,labor movement, and to all the
democratic and anti-monopoly
forces in this province, the op-
portunity. to defeat the Tories
and thereby open the way for
action to curb the big corpora-
tions and monopolies, both U.S.
and Canadian. That, in the opin-
ion. of the Communist Party, is
the significance of this election

| campaign.

“We call upon all voters in
Ontario, and particularly work-

ers, farmers, progressive intel-

in those cases when the patient
faces the choice of dying soon
or borrowing several months

era in our history.”

The committee had met on the week-
end to put the final touches to the
party’s election program.

The statement, signed by Ontario
leader William Stewart, declared:

“This is not just another election
campaign. It-.comes at a time when the
policies of the Tories, who have con-

lectuals and small business peo-
ple, to unite at the poll to defeat
the Tories and to elect New De-
mocratic Party and Communist
members to the new Legislature.
Put Ontario on the road of pro-
gress. Curb monopoly rule and
foreign control. Make it: possible
to win jobs, independence, de-
mocracy, and a peaceful and
socialist future.

“Act now for the future of
Ontario. End Tory rule at
Queen’s Park. Elect Communists
in the five constituencies where
they are running. Where there
are no Communists in the field,
cast your ballot for the NDP.”

The five candidates nominat-
ed to carry the Communist
Party banner in the Ontario
election are:

_ & William Stewart, leader of
the Ontario party, Dovercourt
riding;

Elizabeth Hill, general sec-
retary of the Young Communist

League, contesting the St. An-

drew-St. Patrick riding;
y¥ Jack Sweet in Yorkview;
~ Don Stewart, Hamilton CP
organizer, in Hamilton West;

/ John Clout of St. Cath-
arines, in Lincoln riding.
