And some parent may hang his head, and curse his silence, his fears, or his political stupidity on that fateful day, which saw the signing by the handpicked delegates of 49 nations of a Yankee-sponsored “peace’’ treaty, designed | for war. Last Saturday in the San Francisco Opera House that is pte- cisely what happened. Thee alleged representatives of 49 nations signed this ill-fated document misnamed a “peace treaty,” which pro- vides for the rearmament of imperial Japan, and the “legal” trans- formation of the islands and peoples of Nippon into a bristling Pacific war camp for American imperialism, in its drive for Asian and world conquest. This conference was rigged from start to finish. The delegates were there to lend credence to the “peace” propaganda of Wall Street, not to debate the drafting of a genuine peace treaty with Japan. The treaty itself had been prepared beforehand. John Foster Dulles, the Wall Street banker and co-conspirator of Hitler, wrote the treaty and sold it to Wall Street’s dollar beneficiaries with an “either or...” finality, and saw to it that they signed on the minimum of demur. That’is what the Vancouver Sun’s senior cold-war scribbler Roy Brown ‘calls the “new technique in treaty drafting.” — It bypasses reason, logic, and history, and leaves the Yankee warmongers in complete control, 3 iss “A peace pact—the forerunner of a Pacific Pact,’ Canada’s versatile signatory Mike Pearson called it. “A pact which will guarantee peace in Asia,” Pearson added, carefully omitting from his post-conference Vancouver “peace” oration the fact that almost four-fifths of the peoples of Asia were denied a voice in the drafting of any peace treaty with Japan. China, Korea, Burma, even the common people of Japan—none of these were brought to this ‘peace conference.” China and Korea were deliberately excluded, while India and Burma turned thumbs down on it as a faked “treaty” to establish Yankee hegemony in Asia. The Soviet Union and the New Democracies of Europe were in attendance to strive for a genuine dotted line with a peace treaty, but the Acheson-Dulles machined “tules-of-order’”” ex-_ cluded all reasoned debate, and turned this “‘peace conference” what it was originally intended to be—a platform, where the seeds of another ‘world - germinated. External Affairs Minister Mike Pearson signed for Canada, but before this infamous scrap of paper is ratified by Canada, parliament should and must have a voice in the matter. In other words, the Canadian people through their MP’s have the tight to voice their opinion. . : : : : Write your MP today.

Sometimes it works, more often it doesn’t. At school we used to call it “fibbing,” and soon learned that when you told one whopper you had to be nimble-witted enough to be ready with a follow-up. Adolph Hitler transformed the habit of lying into a state institu- tion and called it “diplomatiche aussprache,” which means (in content, if not’ in literal translation) the Big Lie. ns The ‘guns of the Second World War were scarce- ly silent before those who direct “our way of life” lifted the Big Lie technique from Hitler’s propa- ganda machine and’ adopted it for their own. In fact it is already all too obvious that, compared to our present-day use of this technique of mass deception, Hitler was a third-rate amateup, The use of the Big Lie rests upon two main premises: the utter, complete and shameless un- scrupulousness of its users, and the assumed (by them) stupidity, naivete, or credulity of those upon whom it is beamed, The underlying theory of the Big Lie is that it must be big enough, told often and loud enough, and have the full pressure of state pro- paganda machinery behind it. Given such circum- stances, it will become accepted in time (its users hope), by those for whom it is intended as a “rela- tive truth.” In thé early hours of the morning of June 25, 1950, the 17th Regiment of the US-directed South Korean army launched an attack against North Korea. John Foster Dulles was -Wall Street’s man- on-the-spot directing the attack. During these 14 months over one million Koreans have been literally murdered, their homes and lands destroyed, their age-long desire for freedom and independence an- swered with napalm bombs and high explosives. Atrocities have been committed against the Ko- rean people by American and other invading troops comparable only to the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the peoples of Poland, Russia and other ‘countries,’ ‘ ; ‘ Documentation of the initial attacks, the crimes against Korean persons and property, -the violation of all codes of human decency, have been placed * from time to time before the United Nations. - That body, like an exclusive plaything of Yankee imperial- ism, has remained shamefully ‘silent on the irrefut- ~ Demand that he reject the San Francisco “peace treaty” and free oaks able facts placed before it... | Yet, day in and day out the Big Lie has been poured out in an endless nauseating stream. “The North Koreans started it,” “Russian aggression in Korea,” “It’s only a@ police action.” Even the “skeleton resolution” adopted by the IUN, sanction- ing UN (read U.S.) armed intervention in Korea came after U.S.-inspired aggression had already be- gun! That too is well known to be the truth bf the matter, but the Big Lie, like a gigantic, evil sewer, continues to pour out its poisonous flood of false- hood = *) ‘ : Sy _ Then came the “peace talks,” the planned stall- ing, and more of the Big Lie propaganda, “Opera- tion Killer” had failed to turn the trick, so let’s pretend we want to talk “peace” while preparing new plans for extermination of Koreans. There was the incident of a truck-ioad of “reporters” (before there was anything to “report”) designed to con- vince the “free” world that the Korean’s don’t like a “free” press. That didn’t work, so the talks “resumed.” Then there was a furore over the “armed Koreans” in the conference area. That also petered out, so the talks “resumed?” Then the master stroke who count their dead and-maimed in millions, who see their cities, towns, villages, and peasants huts ruthlessly destroyed, burned and shattered by.
