THE

AND
THE
NORTH
ATLANTIC
FACT
The
record
of
the
CCF
party
in
foreign
affairs
is
re-,
markable.
This
Party
opposed
to
the
brink
of
the
last
war
,
and
beyond
It
the
whole
basis
of
our
present
foreign
policy.
Among
all
parties
tinged
with
Isolationism
It
was
the
Sup-',",
reme
Isolationist.
It
opposed
any
Canadian
Military
expedition
abroad,
while
that
impossible
proposal
was
quietly
forgotten
and
the
CCF
accepted
internationalism
at,
the
San
Francisco
Conference
after
the
war,
it
reverted
to
its
old
theories
in
the
Defence
debates
two
years
ago.
The
CCF
Party
in
British
Columbia
five
weeks
ago
went
on
record
at
a
party
convention,
held
at
Vancouver,
B.

as
opposing
the
Atlantic
Pact.
What

Representative
