More readers needed to
extend ‘Trib’ influence

By IVAN BIRCHARD

Five thousand men and women are wanted at once to.
become readers of the Pacific Tribune.

You can make your

“contribution to the peace of the world a little more effective
by helping at least one more person secure a copy of the

Tribune “Peace Week’ edition.

This issue of August 23 will
be followed on August 30 by
the Tribune Labor Day special.
We appeal to each and every
reader to get at least one more
reader by August 23. When you
get a subscriber to the Tribune
you help at least three; first
you help the Tribune do a bet-
ter job than ever, second, you
heip the new reader gain a. bet-
ter understanding of world events,
and third, you begin to activize
one more person in the great
issues of the day thereby mak-
ing your own efforts “more ef-
fective.

EVERY GARMENT STRICTLY UNION MADE

PACIFIC TRIBUNE — PAGE 7

British labor
| backs Greeks

LONDON.—The refusal of four
elected officials of the Greek trade
union movement to serve on a new
government-appointed trade union
executive committee was endorsed
this week by Bert Papworth, British
trade union leader who supervised
Greek trade union elections for the
World Federation of frade Unions.

The Greek government recently
arrested elected trade union leaders
and is now attempting to establish
a phony labor organization, led by
its Own appointees. “Any participa-
tion in the new body would be a
denial of democratic elections,” Pap-
worth asserted. :

Hitting the British government
for keeping the present undemocra-
tic Greek regime in power through
the presence of British troops in the
country, Papworth said: “The action
of the Greek government is scandal-
ous but it was anticipated. Bevin
was warned that this would happen
after the so-called elections on
March 31, This is only one part of
the terror.”

The Canadian Broadcasting

Corporation regulation which for-

vote of Reeve George Morrison

cast against the motion prevented
Burnaby Municipal Council this
week from signifying its official
disapproval of the Daily Prov
ince’s determined attempts to pub-
lish a scab newspaper for 42
public which has already shown
its own disapproval by slashing
its circulation by half

The motion, introduced by LPP
Councillor Harry Ball, was to
cancel the council's Subscription
to the Daily Province on the
grounds that it had been declared
“unfair.” 1

The vote showed four council-

lors supporting the. motion and
four against.

for‘ peace week’
The West End and English Bay |.
EPP clubs have made elaborate
plans for an active ‘peace week.’ A
fine pictorial display is\ being ar-
ranged in the West End hall. This
will depict the struggle of the
Spanish people against the Hitler-
Mussolini-Franco forces and the
‘non-interventionists’ of the Munich
period.

It will also show the great bat-
tles of World war two, and the
final realization of Allied Nation’s
unity and victory. Then comes the
dawn of the “atomic age,”? heralded
by the atom-bomb and its threat to
peace.

The West End hall will be open
during peace week from 2 p.m. to
4 p.m. and in the evenings from
8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Each evening the
film “Now the’ Peace’ will be
shown. On August 28 a large listen-
ing audience is being organized to
hear Tim Buck, national leader of
the LPP over the CB€ network.
The public are cordially invited to
participate in the West End peace
week activities.
