VICTORIA REPORT Premier Determined to Keep Good Will Hund: and Forty-Seven On Good Will and Cooperation An articulate and well-expressed let- . ter-to-the-editor appears elsewhere in this issue of the Castlegar News. The letter is as fresh as a spring breeze not ily of . the For proof that personal presentation By JAMES K. NESBITT F The Battle of and light, announced that he'd be in Toronto Jan, 12 and if Federal finance minister Donald Fleming wanted to see him he could go to again | Toronto, and the two of them could need not be feared and that it will be } treated with respect, ask the housewife in Woodland Park who gave her name when views it expresses, ‘but because of the at- titude it takes. ‘ The writer considers the elected re- i of the icipality in which he lives to be fair and honest men who will objectively, and without predjudice, study any complaint registered with them in an open manner. At a time when the norm at every stage of our democratic life appears to be that of expecting the worst from elected representatives and thus approaching them in an antagonistic manner instead of with expectations of cooperation and good will, persens who do face up to their res- ponsibilities and argue their cases in per- son, are to be commended. Labor's Vote is Labor in both Canada and the Unit- ed States has made vast gains and secur- ed formidable power by its independence of the state, by its freedom to pick and choose between governments, parties and Bolicies, by its right to bargain on equal terms with management regardless of any government’s convenience. It would surrender most of that in- dependence and power if it made itself first the ally and then, inevitably, the tool of any political party. to the vilage office about the alt down and talk earnestly about the Columbla river, The Premier knew, of course, .| there was a 100 to one chance of garbage pick-up.

Or ask the Castlegar gentleman who, when com- plaints about a neighbor’s dog were regis- tered with the neighbor to no avail, con- tacted the village office who enforced the dog bylaw. Today the two neighbors live in a harmony as fine as exists between any two neighbors anywhere. When good will and sincerity are extended to the other person, many more times than not the same viewpoint is re- ciprocated, Not Deliverable The Canadian unions seem unlikely * to make such a mistake. But even if they do, the CCF's political strategy will not work for long. In Canada and the United States the attempt has often been made to deliver the labor vote to one party or another and it has always failed. The labor vote on a national scale is not deliv- erable. For the worker, organized or un- organized, is first of all a citizen who Lelier to the Editor Dear Sir: Please allow me apace in your newspaper to clarify a news item which appeared in the Trall news- paper just prior to this past Christ mas, The item reported on a com- plaint regarding the use of winter work employees in the Village of Castlegar, which it is alleged was brought to the attention of the Trail Daily Times by “Castlegar Businessmen.” This item has sub- sequently been given space in at Mr, Fleming being free that day, and so be able to hop down to To. | ronty to see the Premier of British Columbia, But our Premier, all wrapped up in the spirit of good- will to all, at least made the grand gesture, Poor Mr, Fleming; he only knew about the Toronto possibility when he read about it in the news~ papers, and, as the Premier knew he would he, he was all tled up in engagements that he just could-not break, However, Mr, Bennett, still breathing good-will towards all men, said he’d go to Ottawa any old day, even during the session of the Legislature, to talk Columbia with Mr, Fleming, any old day ex- cept the day he's scheduled to bring down his budget, Mr. Bennett feels there's no one else wito could possibly bring down the budget so well as himself, Elnar least. ene other er (the News) to my 70 date. 4s a Castlegar businessman, I personally take exception to the now one of the Premier's dear dead hopes beyond recall. his New Year's resolution of peace and good will towards all, hard feellngs to none, And, in his new~ found, unnatural meekness he at- tempts to put Mr, Fleming on the political hot spot —- the Premier, innocently, as it were, contriving to make it appear that Mr, Flem- ing wouldn't meet the Premier of British Columbia to discuss the Columbia River. There are more ways than one, you see, of goring an ox, x do hope the Premier, being humah Hke the rest of us, falls fiat on lls face with that New Year's resolution of good-will to all, hard feelings to none. If he doesn’t, it's golng to be a dull aession, I can't imagine a session without the Premier thundering forth, | waving’ his arms obout, shouting and smashing into op- positionists, chiefly Messrs, Stra- chan and Perrault. Iam nauseated at the thought of the Premier and Messrs. Stra- chan and Perrault droping thelr arms obout each other in brotherly love and affection, Yet that's what the Premier, at this point, seems determined to do — to foster just such o naus- eating spertacle, He says it’s high time there was more good-will bet- ‘ween’ men in public Ufe in this province, He's going to show the light and tho, way, thats’ what! If the Premier lives’ up" to his resolve we're all going -to die -of boredom in the session opening next week. Arena Schedule Jan. 19 and 20 Only FRI.

The lesson is the way in which a handful of Communists gained key. posts in one of the most important British trade unions defied the authority of the General Warkers Unions and called 13,- 000. dook‘ workers’ out on an’ unofficial strike. We have long been aware of the dan- Ber of allowing Communists to gain in- fluence. in trade unions, and some unions have’ made strenuous efforts to keep the Reds _qut oftheir memberships. Now that trade unions are merging with the CCF into a new political entity tenatively known. as the “(Now Party,” it becomes doubly . attractive to the Communists to gain control over as many unions as possible.

New Party leaders are aware of this danger, but it is one which is exceedingly difficult to cope with.

The Trades Union Con- gress has been unable to oust Communists from control of the Electrical Trades Union.

Communists occupy important posi- Hons: on the executive committe of the ing Union. The nates strength in this key union was demonstrated recently when Communists on the executive committee frustrated the president's proposal of a secret bal- lot on the issue of whether Britain should adopt a policy of unilateral nuclear dis- armament. The Communists, by every means possible, are pursuing their objective of ‘skirta” of an “im- plied" but innocent group. .

Canadians would be foolish to assume that their country has some magic im- munity for these tactics. The wildcat, strike on London’s docks shows how deep the Red infiltration has gone in the Old Country. This is the enemy. within, the enemy hardest to detect and defeat. The pre- liminary skirmishes are already being fought in Canada. If we can win these we may not have to fight the main battle. —Vancouver Province CASTLEGAR NEWS .
