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.

Jock Taylor brought two, South Burnaby three, building trades two and quite a few single subs came in besides. Vernon and Kamloops are the only points reporting increases in bundle sales. Qur Vernon booster gains a few readers each week and Halvorson at Kamloops never lets up.

We want to thank S Adams of Spencers’ Bridge, George Wil- liams, Alec Anderson, T. Stani- cak, the Hastings East and the Kitsilano Clubs for their dona- tions to the fund. Kitsilano topped the list with $15.

These boosters are doing their

bit to keep the Tribune going and to keep Al Parkin on. the air.

The Tribune must have new readers. Will you get at least one now?

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.”

By AL PARKIN

Within the next week an

some 35 daily and weekly newspapers of the Lower Main- land, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island asking for finan-

cial support for the daily broadcast:

The appeal will not be the usu- |} al formal plea for funds. It will be an urgent request to all radio listeners who are friends of la- bor te save Canada’s only daily labor news commentary from be ing ferced off the air.

on, now finds it impossible to

carry the burden of the radio program much longer. The Canadian Broadcasting

Corporation regulation which for- bids any appeal for funds over the air’ has made the problem of financing the daily program even more difficult, and has left only the medium of newspaper advertising open.-

There is no doubt by now that: the daily broadéeast is gaining, a fairly wide circle of listeners, and Can become even more popular in the months te come. For it is literally the only program, among thousands of commercial broadcasts going out daily from radio stations all. over Canada, that. goes behind the “iron eur- tain” of lies and confusion ere- ated by the commercial press and radio to bring labor’s angle on the news to the radio listener And I think you will agree with me that it would be a serious set- back to our movement. were we forced to drop the program now, - after having got a foothold on

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

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.
