Racist Gerald K. Smith
supports Barry Goldwater

Gerald L.K. Smith, the notor-
ious anti-semite, has endorsed
Barry Goldwater for President
and has called on all his support-
ers to work day and night for his
election.

The latest issue of Smith’s ra-
cist publication of “The Cross and
the Flag,” is now on sale with a
smiling picture of Goldwater on
the cover page and a glowing
endorsement article by Smith
which opened with the sentence:

arhead

The w

“For the first time in my mature
dife a major political party has
nominated a candidate for Pres-
ident worthy of respect.”

“Goldwater,” Smith wrote,
“first impressed me inhis mani-
festation of complete loyalty to
Senator Joseph McCarthy...”
Smith lauds Goldwater’s refusal
to repudiate the John Birch So-
ciety as “courageous honesty.”

Smith, who peddles the anti-
semitic forgery, the Protocols
of Zion, felt compelled to “ex-
plain” his support for a candidate

whose grandfather was Jewish,

This he did by saying, “I. made
a careful survey ofthe California
primary only to discover that in
the large Jewish precincts his
(Goldwater’s) vote was nil. The
Jews almost unanimously voted

against Goldwater wherever his.

name is offered, and today they
are fighting him with a vicious-
ness almost surpassing their at-
tacks on the late Joseph Mc-
Carthy.”

Goldwater’s vote against the
civil rights bill is to Smith a
“courageous act of statesman-
ship.” He also hailed “the realis-
tic fact that in 1964 the Repub-
lican Party with Barry Gold-
water as its nominee will be the
white man’s party.”

New S. Africa witch hunt

South Africa’s racialist govern-
ment last week announced a new
witch hunt in the country’s univ-
ersities and legal institutions
against Communists — and any-
one the government chooses to
call a Communist.

BERLIN PASS
PACT SIGNED

BERLIN — The new Berlin
passes agreement signed here
last week is practically identical
with the proposals made by the
German Democratic Republic on
January 17,

The agreement will allow West
Berliners to visit relatives in
East Berlin five times a year
in four periods of about two weeks
each, These will bein November,
at Christmas, Easter and-Whit-
sun. To visit in one period will
be allowed for Christmas andthe
New Year,

In addition there will be a
permanent office in West Berlin
to issue passes for relatives with
urgent family business — births,
marriages, deaths, etc. The
waste of nine months was caused
by the blocking tactics of Bonn,

Justice Minister Vorster said
that “no Communists will be
allowed to teach in our universi-
ties.” He also said-no attorney
or advocate consideredas a Com-
munist will be allowed to practise
as a lawyer or pleadin the courts,

Under Verwoerd’s police state
the government can hang politi-
cal offenders, keep a person in
prison indefinitely without trial,
keep people in jail after their
sentences have expired, arrest
without warrant, declare organi-
zations unlawful and make crimi-
nal, acts which were lawful at
the time they were committed.

The government has also re-
moved the right of habeas corpus
and shifted the onus of proof of
innocence on to an accused per-
son in cases involving the death
penalty.

In Pretoria recently eight Af-
ricans were found guilty of sa-
botage and last week the African
National Congress appealed to
world public opinion to prevent
murder of four South African
trade unionists sentenced to
death.

‘Bread - butter’ gains not enougl
today says Quebec labor parley

Bread - and - Butter Unionism
has no solution to “our serious
economic problems,” says Jean
Marchand, president of the Con-
federation of National Trade
Unions,

“We are more than ever con-
scious that workers’ problems
cannot be solved solely through
collective labor agreements,”
which are “powerless to achieve

our fundamental objectives,” he ©

told delegates to the 41st con-
vention of the C.N,T.U., held
in Quebec City from Sept, 13-19,

In his deep-going, questioning
report — an agonizing reapprais-
al of trade unionism — Marchand
reminded convention delegates
of Samuel Gompers’ famous
statement that “all we want is
more, more and more,”

Gompers had “unconsciously
defined the philosophy of Amer-
ican trade unionism,. to ‘which
most unions across the broder
still adhere today,” Marchand
suggested,

Contrary to other labor or-

ganizations, the C,.N.T.U, is
“cauging the limitations of our
economic system and trying to
alter its structures,”

He asked: “Should we willingly
accept to be prisoners ofa system
which we hawe not chosen?Should
we be Satisfied solely with collec-
tive bargaining with the enter-
prise as a means to improve the
lot and condition of the workers?”

“Bread-and-butter unionism,”
he stressed, “has no solution to
propose to the serious problems
of education, professional train-
ing, unemployment, social se-
curity, economic planning, etc,
Yet how can we claim to be
representing the workers if we
leave aside these vital questions
to confine ourselves within the
narrow borders of the collective
agreement?”

At the same time, theC.N,T.U,
president added “if you try to
convince the workers that they
can, through revolutionary ac-
tion, do away with the delays

required to bring a process of
evolution to maturity, you create

Remove nuclear bases
urged by NDP parley

By RAY TICKSON

t the provincial convention

of the B,C, New Democratic
Youth, held on Sept, 26 and 27,
some 150 delegates and observ-
ers soundly supported a resolu-
tion demanding the B,C, govern-

ment establish a steel industry .

in the province—operated as a
crown corporation,

This, coupled with a motion

urging the takeover of the mine |

at Britannia (see Page 1 story),
formed one of the highlights of a
very stimulating and interesting
‘convention,

The convention proposed some
very important policy resolutions
which, if implemented in the fol-
lowing year, should cause some
significant changes in the organ-
ization, Resolutions which con-
demn NATO, demand Canadian
withdrawal from NORAD, andcall
for removal of American nuclear
bases from Canadian soil, show
clearly a willingness of youth to
tackle the urgent problems of
Peace or War,

Education received particular
notice by the convention in a
resolution to establish a Student

Federation of university, high
school and technical school or-
ganizations, to co-ordinate stu-
dent efforts in the fight against
high fees and other student prob-
lems,

Some hard hitting resolutions
on unemployment, retraining, re-
duction of the work week and the
establishment of crown corpora-
tions; specifically in the sugar,
mining and forest industries—to
combat the ever growing prob-
lems of automation and monopoly
control of key industries,

These and other decisions,
such as the one to change the name
of the organization to the B™,
Young Democrats; leave one ex-
pecting and hoping for a consid-
erable change in activities in the
youth field this year,

With proper leadership and a
strong fight from the member-
ship the ideals and principles of
policy and organization decided
upon by this convention should
be a great factor in making the
coming year a good one for the
B.C, Young Democrats and the
province’s youth as a whole,

Marchand called for specifi —
proposals to combat the «well: :

of what is involved in an often
“too general” demand for econo
