"The Epicures' Rendezvous"
The fact remains for Governments to formulate and act upon a clearly
defined labour policy and to institute adequate methods to ensure its actual
practice as a social program. But the first requirement is one of policy
hot of method.
■
In Canada at the present time this first requirement of policy is yet
to be met: the labour policy of the Mackenzie King Government because
of its obvious contradictions in statement, and its glaring discrepancies in
practice, is in great need of reconsideration and amendment.- This, even
to meet the need of its own internal consistency and integrity. Once this
is done the matter of method, important though it be, can be achieved and
realized. And until this is done, grudging recognition of the existence
of labour by such a gesture as a formation of the impotent National Labour
Supply Council, composed of an equal number of representatives of
industry as of labour, is not an answer to the problem of making labour
an equal participant in industry, and society. Until this is done labour
will be frustrated in its attempt to release its vital force so necessary to the
country at the present time.
... The Government along with the industrial leaders of Canada cannot
’afford, and it would not be an act of wisdom, to carry on their present
practices of remaining aloof and in some cases openly hostile to the
dynamic force of labour. We would be wise to consider the fact that the
Government of .Great Britain, in her darkest hour,
appeals not to
reactionary Tories but to the rank and file working man for support;
which was immediately assured in a whole-hearted manner, and which
has not diminished but increased up to the present day. The Canadian
worker is not in the least backward about, and along with his British
brothers, secs just as.clearly the issues involved in the war, and he too
would repond just as enthusiatically to speed up and expand the war
effort.
But very unfortunately, and with deep regret on the part of
working people, the Government and the indutrial leaders of Canada have
not seen fit to adopt a policy, well-defined in meaning and intent, that
will not leave an ounce of doubt in the minds of workers, and which will
give to labour every encouragement and opportunity to voice, and in their
work, to carry out their support of the war effort.
Working people in Canada are awaiting, and not without impatience,
the announcement on the part of the Government of a labour policy that
will encourage and assure them of an organized means to give collective
expression of their whole-hearted support of the Allied war effort, by
recognizing in both statement and practice their right to form their own
organizations and to bargain collectively. And only by implementing such
a policy can a people’s war effort be assured or considered possible. When
that time comes the Canadian worker will be able to follow the precedent
of his British fellow worker in re-assuring Allied victory.

"The Epicures' Rendezvous"
The fact remains for Governments to formulate and act upon a clearly
defined labour policy and to institute adequate methods to ensure its actual
practice as a social program. But the first requirement is one of policy
hot of method.
■
In Canada at the present time this first requirement of policy is yet
to be met: the labour policy of the Mackenzie King Government because
of its obvious contradictions in statement, and its glaring discrepancies in
practice, is in great need of reconsideration and amendment.- This, even
to meet the need of its own internal consistency and integrity. Once this
is done the matter of method, important though it be, can be achieved and
realized. And until this is done, grudging recognition of the existence
of labour by such a gesture as a formation of the impotent National Labour
Supply Council, composed of an equal number of representatives of
industry as of labour, is not an answer to the problem of making labour
an equal participant in industry, and society. Until this is done labour
will be frustrated in its attempt to release its vital force so necessary to the
country at the present time.
... The Government along with the industrial leaders of Canada cannot
’afford, and it would not be an act of wisdom, to carry on their present
practices of remaining aloof and in some cases openly hostile to the
dynamic force of labour. We would be wise to consider the fact that the
Government of .Great Britain, in her darkest hour,
appeals not to
reactionary Tories but to the rank and file working man for support;
which was immediately assured in a whole-hearted manner, and which
has not diminished but increased up to the present day. The Canadian
worker is not in the least backward about, and along with his British
brothers, secs just as.clearly the issues involved in the war, and he too
would repond just as enthusiatically to speed up and expand the war
effort.
But very unfortunately, and with deep regret on the part of
working people, the Government and the indutrial leaders of Canada have
not seen fit to adopt a policy, well-defined in meaning and intent, that
will not leave an ounce of doubt in the minds of workers, and which will
give to labour every encouragement and opportunity to voice, and in their
work, to carry out their support of the war effort.
Working people in Canada are awaiting, and not without impatience,
the announcement on the part of the Government of a labour policy that
will encourage and assure them of an organized means to give collective
expression of their whole-hearted support of the Allied war effort, by
recognizing in both statement and practice their right to form their own
organizations and to bargain collectively. And only by implementing such
a policy can a people’s war effort be assured or considered possible. When
that time comes the Canadian worker will be able to follow the precedent
of his British fellow worker in re-assuring Allied victory.

Bowling Blitzed
The newly organized Men’s 5-Pin Bowling
League’s opener slated for last Monday is also
on the list of the blitzed Nisei sport. Bowling
continued at Chapman’s using only the pm
boys’ pitlight last Monday, and although
darkened windows will permit bowling to re
sume in full swing during blackouts, directors
Tad Kondo and Mas Isoshima thought it ad
visable to postpone the opening for a couple
of weeks at least. To those who braved the
blackout to attend last Monday’s opener, the
directors offer their apologies for the inability
to notify them of the postponement. Watch
this column for future particulars on the bowl
ing situation.
Shuttling Still Swinging
Director ‘Mat’ Matsui of the Japanese Bad
minton League announces that the league will
not function until further notice. Meanwhile
the sym has been fitted with blackout facili
ties and shuttling will' continue on Tuesdays
and Fridays regardless of the blackout. This
is a special note to the Strathcona members.
Led by sharpshooting Nobby
Kimura and Satoshi Yamabe
with 14 and 10 points respec
tively, Tammy’s. Bike Shop
boys took a 33-23 victory from
the aggressive Tuxis quintette
last Saturday night.
.
In the junior games Hurri
canes overcame a big Acme
lead to chalk up their first vic
tory 28-20. Eugene Fujibaya
shi led Hurricanes with 10
points while Yosh Higo swish
ed in 14 for the losers.
Although outscoring Nomads
8 points to 2, Monarchs just
missed their mark when the
Nomads nosed them out 19-18
in the final junior tilt of the
season.
The Exhibition game with
Mission tomorrow night has
been called off.
Blackout, or no blackout, the Japanese Table Tennis
League is determined to carry on, announces director Bing
Tanaka. The senior division has already completed the first
half of their schedule, so all league games for the second half
will not begin until after the New Year.
The junior timetable will be switched from 6:00 p.m. Sun
day to 2:00 p.m. This Sunday’s schedule is as follows: Tairiku
vs. Mikado; New Team vs. Meiwa Gakuen; Kitsilano vs. Union

Bowling Blitzed
The newly organized Men’s 5-Pin Bowling
League’s opener slated for last Monday is also
on the list of the blitzed Nisei sport. Bowling
continued at Chapman’s using only the pm
boys’ pitlight last Monday, and although
darkened windows will permit bowling to re
sume in full swing during blackouts, directors
Tad Kondo and Mas Isoshima thought it ad
visable to postpone the opening for a couple
of weeks at least. To those who braved the
blackout to attend last Monday’s opener, the
directors offer their apologies for the inability
to notify them of the postponement. Watch
this column for future particulars on the bowl
ing situation.
Shuttling Still Swinging
Director ‘Mat’ Matsui of the Japanese Bad
minton League announces that the league will
not function until further notice. Meanwhile
the sym has been fitted with blackout facili
ties and shuttling will' continue on Tuesdays
and Fridays regardless of the blackout. This
is a special note to the Strathcona members.
Led by sharpshooting Nobby
Kimura and Satoshi Yamabe
with 14 and 10 points respec
tively, Tammy’s. Bike Shop
boys took a 33-23 victory from
the aggressive Tuxis quintette
last Saturday night.
.
In the junior games Hurri
canes overcame a big Acme
lead to chalk up their first vic
tory 28-20. Eugene Fujibaya
shi led Hurricanes with 10
points while Yosh Higo swish
ed in 14 for the losers.
Although outscoring Nomads
8 points to 2, Monarchs just
missed their mark when the
Nomads nosed them out 19-18
in the final junior tilt of the
season.
The Exhibition game with
Mission tomorrow night has
been called off.
Blackout, or no blackout, the Japanese Table Tennis
League is determined to carry on, announces director Bing
Tanaka. The senior division has already completed the first
half of their schedule, so all league games for the second half
will not begin until after the New Year.
The junior timetable will be switched from 6:00 p.m. Sun
day to 2:00 p.m. This Sunday’s schedule is as follows: Tairiku
vs. Mikado; New Team vs. Meiwa Gakuen; Kitsilano vs. Union
Fish and Maikawa get the bye.
