'_ May Day Celebration,

| To my personal opinion labor

_ time victory and not I must win.

'past two years, and it «can’t be
_talked too much because it is
_ absolutely necessary. Amalsamate

_ With Unity
- We Can Win

It gives me great pleasure to
write a2 greeting for the present
and as f
have been General Chairman of
the May Day Committee for the
past two years I know there is a
lot cf work attached to it

today is more united than ever
before, that includes the returned
men, the armed services, and the
merchant marine. i

Wow that peace is here, Unity
iS more necessary than ever be-
‘fore, everyone must throw sel&
ishness away and make up their
minds that WE must win a peace-

Erom my own experience, f
know that no matter what union
er affiliation a man or woman
belongs to, as long as he or
| she iS a union man or woman,
and not just a card member, they
are willing to give all his idle
- time to work for organized labor.
I have talked Unity for the

ali the working people in this
country and without a doubt we
have an overwhelming majority,
but for some selfishness and non-
cooperation, .we have failed to
win a victory in many instances.
Therefore I say if we can’t work
as one body we must work at
jeast on a cooperative basis.
Wnity without a doubt is the
key to the working people, not
only at home but all over the
world.

Without a doubt that this May
Day Celebration is going to be
the best and most successful
May Day Celebration that Van-
couver has ever known.

“7On May

Do Not March Alone’”’

= By BEN SWANKEY, LPP Provincial Leader, Alberta
AY DAY 1946 finds workers throughout the world

better organized and with greater understanding than
at any time in history. We are witnessing an awakening of

labor that challenges the very.

This new strength, solidarity and
understanding was gained only
through bitter struggle in which
milllions went to their death with
the cry of “Down with fascism”
on their lips and a vision of a
better world in their eyes. We
cannot easily forget the price of
victory.

if the imperialists had their way
we would quickly be plunged into:
another war, this time an atomic
War against the Soviet Union, led
by the Big 214—United States,
Great Britain and Canada. We
want no more “blood, sweat and
tears.” The only hope for con-
tinued peace lies in the unity of
the Big 3. Canadian labor must
make its influence so strongly
felt that our government will be
forced to abandon its present at-
omic adventures.

monopolists, while
they drive for war, are at the
Same time striving to maintain
and increase their exorbitant war
profits by attacks on the liv-
ing standards of tHe people. The
present “controlled inflation” in
which the government is acting
as the stooge of Big Business, has
greatly reduced the real value of]
the dollar. Labor’s answer must
be a demand for rigid price con-
trol and extensive wage increases.
Working people in Alberta have
to contend with a Social Credit
government which while hiding
under the cloak of monetary re-
form and fighting a sham battle
against finance, is capitulating all
along the line to the Big Shots.
Qn May Day Alberta workers will
raise higher -their struggle for
the 40-hour week, union security,
two weeks’ holidays with pay and
a minimum wage of 60c an hour.
On May Day Alberta farmers will
renew their demands for guaran-
teed prices, rural electrification,
irrigation projects and provincial
responsibility for 50 percent of
educational costs. : ;
On May Day we do not march
alone. We march with our bro-
thers and sisters in Moscow, War-
Saw, London, and New York We
march forward shoulder to shoul-
der. ._There will be no retreat.

Early sessions of the 30th Annual Meeting of the B.C.

Hotel Vancouver this week
report on educational finance.

The delegates, representing: a record total of 3500 members,
hailed the report as a marked educational advance, tending
to equalize schooling opportunities throughout the province,

develop a social outlook among the
pupils, and strong support is ex-
pected for the “automatic mem-
bership” proposals.

Delegates voted unanimously to
make representation to the De-
partment of Education “in strong-
est terms” for the replacement of
the notorious text, Dr. = B:
King’s “History of Britain.” This
book, which has been inflicted on
junior high school students for
many years, is considered hopeless-
ly unsound from a pedagogical
point of view. Parts of it are said
to be culled from a text in use in
Great Britain a generation azo.
In addition, there has been pro-
tests for years against the strong
reactionary bias of the book.

C. J. Oates, of Vantouver, chair
man of the Labour Relations Com-
mittee, was unanimously chosen
to replace retiring President Ber-

nard Gillie of Oak Bay.
