Communist Party Gain
New Recruits In B.C.

District Conference Registered Distinct Advance

on Wide Field

February

lication at the office of the

Workers News’:

A District Conference of the Com-
munist Party of Canada was held
during the last few days. There were
‘delegates from Shop Units, Island,
Valley and Interior Units, elected
members from Section Committees
and District fractions of mass or-
fanizations. Not a few of the dele-
gates arrived at the conference fresh
from recent strike struggles, others
from active daily work in organiza-
tions ang trade unions.

Analysis and Review.

The conference was called specially
to review and analyse the past three
months’ plan of work. This plan was
definitely based on the tasks laid

down by the 7th National Conven-
“tion of the C.P.of GC. and contained
jn the resolution of that body.

Gonsiderable successes were re-
corded in the allotted tasks and the
serious discussion and  eriticism
aroused by the main report is an as-
surance that the Party will carry
out the decisions of the 7th National
Convention of the C.P.of C.

Wew Members Recruited.

The time was extended for the re-
cruitinge quota for one month end-
jne January 31. Two hundred and
fifty new members have been drawn
jnto the Party in the last four-
Month period. These new recruits
bring the number of Communists in
British Columbia to well over the
one thousand mark, all recruited
because of previous activities in™ the
organization of the workers. These
new recruits coming into the C.P.of
©. which possesses such tried lead-
ers as Tim Buck and his six com-
rades, will rapidly fit into the dis-
ciplined ranks of the Party, and will
develop as leaders of the workers in
their struggles.

Three three months work of the
@.P.of ©. showed how the Party hac

gers, mill workers, transportation

bettering of working conditions
building and strengthening of or-
Ganization and increasing the class
consciousness of wider sections of
the workers.

Gains in Shop Work.

Fifteen more shop units of the
Party were organized in this period;
Jocals of the revolutionary unions
were set up; women’s auxiliaries tc
these trade unions established; youth
employed in industry were drawn to-
gether in youth organizations, and
several children’s clubs were formed.

Increased votes were recorded by

cipal elections of British Columbia.
Gains were made by the Party in
carrying out its policy of struggle
into the reformist unions as agains
the “eollaboration”’ dictated by the
reforimst leaders. The election of
Militants to official positions in
some of the unions as a result of
conyincing the membership of the
correctness of a militant policy, is
a tribute to the prestige of the Party
amongst many trade unionists.

Women, Youth and Children.

More attention has been paid by
the Party to the of
women, youth and children, in the
Jast period. The Y¥.C.L. under the
leadership of the Party has mobil-
ized greater numbers of the youth
in industry when they organized and
led their struggles. All these and
many more successes were recorded
at the Party Conference.
Wevertheless, a number of short-
Comings were brought to light and
analyzed. Much more could have
been achieyed had the units and sec-
tions utilized their opportunities in
their contact with the workers and
poor farmers. Thih applies especi-
ally to the points of concentration
laid down in the three months plan
and in the resolution of the 7th
Congress of the C.P.of C.

The spontaneous struggles which
have arisen in the last few month:
amongst many sections of the work
ers and in the farming districts, is
conclusive proof of their upsurge
and revolt against the miserable con-
ditions under which they are forced
to live. This emphasizes the necessity
of the Party to intensify its efforts
to build the Party among these
workers and poor farmers in order
that leadership be given to them.

The conference fully realized that
the successes recorded are but a be-
ginning. The conference worked out
another three-month plan to %6r-
eBanize the workers, particularly in
the basic industries, mining, lumber
and transportation; to “build Party
nuclei and entrench itself among the
workers and to send out organizers
in the farming districts to lead the

ers.

The fascists highly estimated the
“Democrat” Dr. Diehls, formerly
press reporter of the socialist demo-
eratie police chiefs, as well as Police
Inspector Heller,—to mention only
the most well known names. The
Gestapo aS a weapon of the rich
for the oppression of the wide
masses remained just as sharply ef-
fective in the democratic era as it
had been in the days of the Kaiser.
The German bourgeoisie applied and
still applies it as a weapon with
which to ervsh not only the Com-
munists, but everything which it
thought might be too difficult to
have “unified.”’ Particularly on the
morning of February 28, 1933, the
offices of the Gestapo in the Berlin
Police headquarters, and the cells of
the police prison presented a many-
Sided picture. Here sat the victims
of every strata of the broad masses
who are marked out in the cata-
logues and records of the Gestapo of
the democratic era.

The fascists had an easy bit of
work to do—all that was necessary
being to pring in all those whose
names were on the list.

ir
WHAT IS CONCEALED BEHIND
THE GESTAPO?

This question can be answered
briefly as follows: Behind the Ges-
tapo are concealed all the acts of
eruelty and horror ever employed to
oppress the broad masses, from the
days of the Tsarist Okhrana up to

the measures of repression which the
Imperialist powers employ against
the colonial slaves. The methods
used by ‘‘civilized’ Germany's Ges-
tapo need closer examination, how-
ever, particularly since the leaders
of the bloodthirsty Gestapo Cossacks
haye never stopped trying to push
the whole responsibility for all the
murders, tortures, and cruelties com-
mitted, onto the shoudlers of ‘lower
units.”” They struck a blow at them-
selves, however, when, following on
the events of February 28, 1933, they
proclaimed “‘ammnesty”’ for all fascist
criminals, thereby sSiving the mur-
derers and hangmen in brown, black
and green uniforms free license to
continue their outrage. But even
without this amnesty, no restriction
will ever have been laid on any
“lower unit.’ The fact is that the
the Gestapo murderers

employs these troops in carrying out
its activities. Houses and whole

who are armed to the teeth with

which the Gestapo commits on such
occasions is enough to make one’s

Vernon, B.C.

Jan. 25, 1935.
Editor, B.C. Workers News:

Dear Comrade,—On January 17
through your authorized agent at
Vernon, B.C., I have become a sub-
seriber to the “B.C. Workers News.”
First of all I extend revolutionary
ereetings from myself and the or-
ganized and unorganized workers
and farmers from the district of
Vernon and near points, on the ap-
pearance of the “B:C. Workers
News.’’ We are to have you amongst
us as a militant organ of the work-
ing class of this province as well as
of whole Canada.

We also pledge ourselves to- give
you moral and material support in
the various campaign that it will be
necessary to launch for the press
funds, also we call upon the workers
and farmers to do the same in the
following localities: Salmon Arm,
Tappen, Enderby, Ashten Creel,
Armstrong, Kelowna and Penticton.
Let’s comrades what we can
do.

I do believe if everyone of us does
our bit we will have a large circula-
tion of the “B.C. Workers News” as
well as it will assist a great deal to-
wards obtaining proper reports from
the various points of the province
on the conditions and struggles of
the workers.

I suggest and propose that the
management of the “B.C. Workers
issue a number of press fund
lists and distribute them; a certain
number in each locality, along with
a circular letter as to the best way
of gathering such funds, say dances,
bazaars, raffles, etc.

other such “gifts”; it would not buy
even one fur coat; in fact, it was
hardly the price of a pair of shoes.
Pete rightly considered he had more

Children Can Help Win

Dear Kids:

fathers came down to Cambie Street
Grounds to protest against the un-
employment insurance bill which R.
B. Bennett and the bosses want to.
put into effect.

How would this bill effect working
elass children? It would mean that
if your father is working in a fac-
tory, he would haye to pay twenty-
five cents per week for unemployed
insurance ,for which he might never
receive beneft. If he did receive this
insurance, it would amount to about
the same as the present relief, and
would last only a few months.
Before, if your father was out of
work, he didn’t haye to pay twenty-
five cents a week, but now he would
have to. Even if this scheme was
any good, it covers only a few of the
workers in Canada. For instance,

front, in the logging camps, or if he
js a farmer, he would receive no
benefit under this bill-

the bosses will prevent our parents
from getting any benefit from this
plan. =

Mainly, we can see that it will take
away part of our father’s wages. We
know that when father gets wage-
cuts there aren’t as nice or as many
things to eat as before, and we
eouldn’t go to picture shows 4s
often. Bennett's new plan means.
for working class kids, just the same
thing over again—another wage-cut
for their parents. Bennett is part
of the boss class; we know that he
has neyer done anything for the
workers; that his parliament works
only for the bosses and that the new
plan is just another thing to hurt
the workers and to help the bosses.

Now we know why our mothers
and fathers protest against Ben-
nett’s new scheme.

Fiow can we help? First we must
discuss it in our group so that we
