C, F. leader of the Opposition in the British Columbia Legislature, revealed himself yesterday as being at odds with the provincial executive of the party over the platform adopted at the recent convention of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation here which Mr. Connell repudiates. In a letter to the provincial executive, Mr. Connell declares the platform to be "unsuitable, calculated to excite hopes that cannot be fulfilled and fantastic and inapplicable in its financial plank of socialized finance." The executive, in its reply, regrets that Mr. Connell did not voice his objections on the floor of the convention. Mr. Connell declares himself as unalterably opposed to any dealings with the Communist party and asserts that "I am as loyal to the original manifesto of Regina as ever." A meeting of the provincial executive and the C. C. F. members of the Legislature is called for tomorrow, to consider what action is to be taken. Connell Defiant VICTORIA, July 31: (CP) In a statement here today regarding his repudiation of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation platform, Rev. Robert Connell said: "I am not resigning from the C. C. F. nor from the leadership of the party in the Legislature. I shall not resign my seat in the House under any consideration whatever. Each member of the party may do as he chooses but I prefer that they should speak for themselves in this matter.
