They are, however, ideas
readily grasped by the 816,982
unemployed, by those who see
Canadian newsprint, nickel,
aluminum and uranium flow
by the trainload to the U.S.

JOHN DIEFENBAKER
He can’t do it

and consumer goods flow back
with a trade deficit for Canada
of approximately $1.5 billion
a year.

The farmer who cannot sell
his turkeys because of Ameri-
can dumping, the novelist who
cannot sell his novels unless
they have been published in
the U.S., the citizen who has
his Canadian dollar refused
by an American shopkeeper—
to all these John Diefenbaker
spoke when he said:

“J believe that Canadians
are becoming more and more
conscious of the need for re-
examination of Canada’s ec-
onomic policies to ensure and
preserve for the people of
Canada the control of their
own destiny.”

Then, as if frightened by his
own words, he added: “I am
not anti-American. The very
thought is repugnant to: me-
I am strongly pro-Canadian.”

John Diefenbaker will now
have to shake off the stupe-
faction of his election victory:

His election campaign touch-
ed deep feelings of economic
anxiety and national pride,
and he must now tackle the
U.S. octopus.

But the party he leads will
never undertake that struggle.
For it represents 4 section of
the capitalist class that is
more concerned with exploit-
ing the workers than with en-
listing their alliance for com-
mon aims.

New forces will pick up the
banner of independence and.
carry out the ideas which this
election has stirred.

Stop work
protest hits
nuclear arms

By PHYLLIS ROSNER

BERLIN — Well over 150,00
people demonstrated in Ham-
burg on Friday last week
against the arming of West
Germany with nuclear weaDp-
ons.

At 3 p.m. work stopped in
the large dockyards and fac-
tories; worers streamed to the
assembly points carrying ban-
ners and posters to get ready
to march to the meeting.

Half an hour later public
offices (Hamburg has a Social
Democratic majority) in West
Germany’s largest city shut to
enable employees to take part
in the demonstration.

At 4 pm. the police stopped
all traffic in the centre of
the town to leave streets free

for the demonstrators.

By the time the meeting —
called by the “Fight Atomic
Death” Organization — start-
ed, over 150,000 people were
present.

At that moment all public
transport in Hamburg came to
a standstill as tram, bus, un-
derground and dock transport
workers responded to their
union’s call to strike for three-
quarters of an hour against
West Germany’s atomic re-
armament.

\ndonesian government forces have captured the rebe}
stronghold of Padang in Sumatra. Major-General Ab-
dul Nasution, government commander, said fall of Padang
in central Sumatra and collapse of rebel fronts in the north-
err and eastern parts of the island, promised an end to the
rebellion whith, with foreign aid, had “brought us close te

the brink of disaster.”

Left gov't would
serve French people

PARIS — The French Com-
munist party is ready to sup-
port any step toward a gov-

ernment reflecting the French
people’s wishes as expressed

in the 1956 general election.

One of the top attractions at the big Soviet display at

the World Fair in Brussels is this replica of Sputnik. Forty-
one countries have displays at the fair.

Jacques Duclos, Communist
leader in the Chamber of Dep-
uties, repeated his party’s call
for such a government in the
interests of the French people
after he saw President Coty
last weekend.

A declaration by the Com-
munist Party’s political com-
mittee also urged formation of
such a government.

The party is pressing for a
Left governmenet pledged to
negotiate peace in Algeria.

It is increasingly clear that
the real choice for France is
between «continuation. of . the
war in Algeria—with the risk
of its spreading to the whole
of North Africa—and a policy
of negotiation for a peaceful
solution.

In his closing speech to the
Chamber, Duclos said the
Communist offer to other
parties to form a Left govern-
ment to negotiate peace re-
mained open.

This would reflect the re-
sults of the 1956 general el-
ection, which made the Com-
munist party, with 150 mem-
bers, and the Socialists,. with
100, the only stable basis of
government.

With the addition of Mendes
France Radicals, this would to-
day be the only reliable bul-
wark against a resurgence of
fascism, which already has a
foothold in the French police
force.
