"So that the people may be able to win their demands through such a gov ernment, the opposition of ihs C.C.F. leadership must be overcome. The C.C.F. has.no chance of winning a majority In the next House yet pursues a narrow isolationist 'ourselves alone' policy which, contrary to the desires of most of Its supporters, will do nothing to wln the peace. "The C.C.F. organization In Prince Rupert has yet to produce a single constructive suggestion for building the post war future of this city."

"Our party's excellent showing In Its 'baptism of fire last June, plus the fact that we are the only party In Prince Rupert that has been fighting day In and day out to unite thc citizenry In the fight for the fnture, more than justifies us In asking the support and votes of all sections of the people," he concluded. "To say that we can do nothing to stop a depression leaves the oft-prov'rd power of the workers, through their mass organizations out of the picture completely, and our party calls on the people of Prince Rupert to rally In the fight for Jobs and prosperity.
