HERE IS WHAT THE CANDIDATES SAY — Pledges work for peace THUNDER BAY—Speaking at a public meeting here, Commun- ist candidate in the federal rid- ing of Port Arthur, Clifford Wahl, told the audience a break- through had been registered in this area in the fight for peace. Thirteen ministers and priests signed and published a call to Nixon to end the war in Vietnam now, and this had given a great boost toward further uniting the forces for peace, Wahl said. He pledged, as a candidate of the Communist Party, “to work every day for peace, to seek out new support, to organize visits to the City Council and in the course of the election campaign to ask all other candidates here where they stand on the ques- tion of peace.” Ontario leader of the Com- munist Party, Bill Stewart, key speaker at the meeting, dealt thoroughly with the topic: The Summit Meeting: What it Means to Canada and Canadians. Basing himself on the prin- ciples of proletarian internation- alism, Stewart showed the evo- lution of the background of the detente - accords. The Moscow summit with Nixon produced an agreement in which the “es- sence” is expressed as “equality of security,” meaning that the parties agree that neither side will interrupt the balance of power by an arms race. It was the rejection or refusal of this kind of measure by the imperial- ist powers that led to the cold war and to the arms race. The Leninist policy of peaceful co-existence ‘between nations having differing social systems developed by the new Soviet state shortly after coming into existence was contrasted with the Fulton, Missouri speech of Churchill in 1947 when he de- clared for a new world alliance of imperialist powers to set upon the socialist countries of the world in a bid to isolate and destroy them.

We can gather our forces to compel im- perialism to retreat, he said, or stagger from brinksmanship to brinkmanship, gambling that a world war won’t take place.” Stewart called for the launch- ing of an offensive against anti- Sovietism, saying that it is under the screen of anti-Sovietism that the working class and democra- tic movement is divided. “We must take this issue to the work- ing class,” he said, “it’s not just our property, but an issue that belongs to the workers.” Garth Blythe named in Guelph, Ont.

Make oil riches | Communist federal candidates in Alberta will be circulating the pamphlet, Make Oil Riches Pro- fi: Alberta, informing voters of Communist proposals which would. relieve tax burdens on working people through proper regulation of oil revenues. The candidates are: Provincial Leader William Tuomi in Edmon- ton-East, Elizabeth Rowley in Edmonton-Strathcona, and Colin Constant in Calgary-Centre. “We propose that the financial crisis in the municipal and edu- cation field can be solved by the provincial government increasing the oil royalty to an average of a dollar a barrel,” the pamphlet states. “With this revenue, the provincial government could re- duce school taxes by an average of 30 mills.
