Stop anti-Jewish acts
demanded in Toronto

Angry Jewish citizens in To-
ronto have demanded mass ac-
tion to halt the continued dese-
cration of synagogues and other
Jewish institutions by swastikas
and anti-Jewish murder slogans
smeared on their walls.

In one recent incident, the
Beth Tzedek -synagogue on
Bathurst St. was desecrated with
swastikas. On Saturday evening,
Rabbi M. Grunwald was assault-
ed by anti-Semitic hooligans.
Two young men with a mock
pistol were later arrested.

On June 2, more than 600 per-
sons flocked to a people’s con-
ference called by the Borochov
Centre as a mass protest against
fascist incidents.

The meeting’s chairman, Max
Federman, manager of the Fur-
riers Union and a leading mem-
ber of the Borochov movement,
declared there were connections
in Canada with the nazi leader
of the United States, George
Rockwell, with terrorists in Que-
bec and other dark forces.

Federman emphasized that the
Jewish people would not wail
until the situation becomes toc
serious. They would carry or

the struggle against renewec
fascist and anti-Semitic activi
ties now.

Bernard Laufer, chairman 0
the Bergen-Belsen Alliance, urgec
a parade to city hall, and a mass
delegation to Ottawa to demanc
that the government and_ police
take all necessary measures
‘against the swastika-smearers
and those who spread slogans
urging murder of the Jews.

Oscar Kogan, delegate of the
United Jewish People’s Order,
proposed that a resolution urg-
ing immediate action by the Can-
adian Jewish Congress should also
urge the Congress to ask the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
for the names and backgrounds
of fascist elements who came to
Canada after the Second World
War.

The resolution apepaling for
action by the Jewish Congress
was adopted unanimously. It
also stated that if the congress
failed to take action, another
conference of all Jewish organ-
izations in Toronto would be
called to consider mass action
against outbreaks of fascism
and anti-Semitism.

Alberta Communists to
run three candidates

Alberta’s oil wealth — three
quarters of all the oil in Can-
ada — is in the hands of a small,
tight group of United States oil
Monopolies, charges the Com-
munist Party in the province, in
a statement directed to the June
17 provincial election.

The profits of one company in
one year alone, Imperial Oil in
Alberta, were more than half the
income of all Alberta’s farmers,
continued the party’s statement.

The oil policy of the Manning
government, a_ policy which is

indefensible” and a ‘‘sellout to
foreign interests,” is the central
issue of the election debate, the
Communist Party declared.

Three candidates were recent-
ly named by the party to contest
the election. They are Trygve
Hansen, a farmer in the Hollow
Lake district, who will contest
the constituency of Athabasca,
Dave Raichman of Calgary, who
will run in Calgary centre, and
Walter Makowecki the party’s

provincial organizer, who will
contest the Edmonton-Norwood
Seat.

workers, farmers, professionals
and small business people in Al-
berta to elect a government to
serve—not the giant U.S. monop-
olies who now bleed the province
—but the people of Alberta.”

The extent of control by US.-
based oil firms in Alberta has
reached the ‘‘point of no return,”
says the party- “The domination
is so complete that the only
measure which will effectively
return these resources to the
people of Alberta is nationaliza-
tion.”

In its election program, the
party includes the following pro-
posals:

e Declare the Athabasca tar
sands crown property and cancel
all permits for their exploitation
by foreign and private compa-
nies, and reject proposals for nu-
clear explosions there.

e Nationalize oil, natural gas,
electric power, ores, timber and
pulp by negotiating compensa-
tion with present owners. Use
these resources to develop pri-
mary and secondary industries.

e Support the McNaughton
plan for the development of the
Columbia. Use Alberta coal to
generate electricity and include
the province in a national, east-
west power grid.

e New tax arrangements be-
tween the provincial and munici-
pal governments to ease the tax
burden on farmers and home
owners in the municipalities.
Greater federal aid.

e A full medicare program ap-
plicable to all.

e The province to assume full
costs of education, with admin-
istration in the hands of locally-
elected school boards.

e An end to anti-labor prac-
tices.

e Restoration of the propor-
tional representation system of
voting in provincial elections and
a revision of provincial electoral
constituencies, basing them on

population.
