Churchill \Va'rnsi 0f A Danger

Balls Defeat 0f I Reds In Italy Historic Event

i

(By The Canadian Press)

IONDON. April 31 - Winston Churchill said today that Italy is temporarily safe from Communism but “there will never be a settled peace in Europe while Asiatic im- perialism and Communist domin- ation rule over the whole 0i Cen- trafand Eastern Europe."

The Conservative leader address- ed a convention of women mem- hers of the Party at Albert Hall.

The defeat of the Communist: iii Italy “is an historic event," he said. 'ltaly....has saved herself for the time being from the Bol- shevlk dictatorship of Stalin."

Repeating his frequent plea for European unity. Churchill said "Therecan he no hope for the world unless the peoples of Europe unite together to‘ preserve their freedom, their culture. and their civilization founded upon christian ethics. There can be no return to prosperity unless they help each other to the utmost."

He forecast that the recently formed Western European union of Britain, France, The Nether- lands, Belgium and Luxembourg "may soon become an organization for common defence in which the nilght and authority of the United, States will be the decisive factor."

Europe's press generally interp- reted the election as a. sign that Communism in Europe has reach- ed its peak and is on the wane.

Churchill warned. however, that "we must not delude ourselves" about Communisms strength."

Discussing American financial aid. he said Europe must "turn to the best advantage the life-giving stream of succor which is flowing toward us across the Atlantic Oc- can."

The effect oi American aid “may make us thankful, but surely it should not make us proud. Least of all do I see how any Socialist can be proud of living on the charity of the greatest capitalist. free enterprise state in the world. whose system of wealth production they deride and denounce on ev- ery occasion and urge us to quit forever."

Conservatives Plan To Revise Platform l In Next Few Months

By D'A.R.CY ODONNELL

OTTAWA, April lii-(CP) -A committee will be established to draft a restatement of Progressive Conservative Party policy.

The restatement is expected to include a. declaration in favor of the banning of the Communist Party in Canada.

A wncludling session of the three-day annual meeting of the Progressive Conservative Associat- ion of Canada decided that a re- statement of policy is needed.

Before the decision was made. the delegates went on record in favor of the Communist ban. ‘The move was not made without lively discussion. _

Some delegates felt that the ban would run counter to the Party's stand in favor of a bill of rights. However. Quebec delegates said one reason they came to the meet- ing was to have the Party support a ban of the Communists. The Quebec delegates finally won their point.

Despite the move, the delegates also went on record in favor of a Canadian bill of rights.

Condemn Gov’t. Policy

Main resolution to come out of publicity coznmittee meetings was one which read:

"This meeting condemns the Fascist techniques employed by the Liberal Party in obtaining pub- licity through such Government operated bureaus and commissions as the National Film Board. tlie ClBC. the Canadian Information .S¢i'"1¢°-MPB"P§Yfr;9¥<i-h¢ saw- psi‘ Affairs Departmentr-lnd 0th‘- er agencies “operated at the ex-T pens-e of the taxpayers of Canada."

An organization committee re- commended that all constituency organizations undertake to nomi- nate candidates at the earliest pos- sible date for the next general Federal election. It urged that the organizations give full co-operation to the women's and young people's branches of the Party.

The same committee recom- mended that facilitiw. be provided for additional field organizers to operate under the jurisdiction of Ivan Sabourin, ‘leader of the Party in Quebec.

"The policy committee will work or. some 28 resolutions submitted to the meeting and draft them in- to planks oi the Party platform. ‘The new policy manifesto will be issued not later than Aug. 1.

Thus the party will hate their new platform before the public s few days before the Liberals. who will meet here Aug. 5 to choose a successor to Prime Minister Moc- kenzie King and to reds-aft the Liberal platform. '

Judge Goldsboroughs injunction orders the Union to end the strike and keep it ended. Goldsborough ruled that the strike hasn't ended, the diispute is unresolved, and "the national peace and safety are still in peril.” _

After several daily attempts to bring the issue to a head‘, it ap- peared certain-this time, positive- iy-that the House would count: noses tomorrow on whether or not the Mackenzie King Government will stand or fail.

The Government, confident now. of winning and anxious to get the question cleaned up, moved today to accelerate the votes by obtain- ing the waiver of a standing rule that would have barred them oo- morrow. Without this. the debate would have had to go over until Tuesday.
