ADVANCE TOWARDS MASS UNITY

The power of a mass movement in Canada
against Fascism and War is rapidly becom-
ing discernable. This is being signalized by
several victories, varying in size and degree,
in the building of the United Front. In the
recent period in British Columbia the So-
cialist Party and the Communist Party have
carried through a joint campaign for the en-
franchisement of the relief camp workers.
Signatures amounting to well over five thou-
sand have been collected and several joint
meetings have been held. Several organiza-
tions of labor protested the visit of the Nazi
German cruiser “Karlsruhe” to B.C. waters.
Struggles on a local scale have been carried
out in numerous instances by Communists,
Socialists and C.C.F. workers for relief and
in resistance to wage-cuts; instance Unity
Glub of the C.C.F. in Vancouver. These
many local joint campaigns auger well for
the building of the United Front.

The most recent and most outstanding vic-
tory, however, is the recognition of the ne-
cessity for unity of action against War and
Fascism by the chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Provincial Council of the
Ontario G.C.F. organization, in a letter sent
to the Canadian League Against War and
Fascism. This letter, by Graham Spry, the
C.CG.F. official in question, opens the door
to negotiations for building the United Front
in Ontario on a broader scale than ever be-
fore. Spry backed up the letter by appear-
ing at the conference of the League and with
his colleague, Sam Lawrence, took the floor
and openly declared for unity with the Com-
munists in the struggle against War and
Fascism.

This news, coming as it does, on the eve
of the Congress on Unemployment in Van-
couver, on the eve of the walk-out of the
camp workers—on the very day when tens
of thousands of B.C. workers are turning out
to welcome the heroic leader of the Com-
munist Party, Tim Buck, and on the very
day of the pronouncement by the govern-
ment that they intend to build the finest
armory in Canada in Vancouver, is of tre-
mendous significance to British Columbia

workers and farmers. It signifies the need
for rapidly advancing towards unity in action
on the broadest possible scale. War is im-
minent. Fascism is rearing its ugly head.
Every attempt must be made to iron out
the minor difficulties which prevent united
action on the wide mass scale necessary to
prevent Fascism and War. Leaders who pre-
vent this unity must be swept aside.

Those leaders who sincerely recognize and
strive for unity must be acknowledged.
Strengthen the struggle for unity by carry-
ing through joint action in every village,
hamlet, town and city in the province. Ad-
vance towards Mass United Action Against
Poverty. Fascism and War.
VANCOUVER LOW RELIEF SCALE

There are at present two ‘millions in
Canada being kept alive by relief doles, ac-
cording to Professor Marsh who made a sur-
vey and presented it to the conference of
mayors being held in Montreal. This is the
way that Bennett has solved unemployment.

According to the figures submitted by the
professor, Vancouver ranks fourth in aver-
age cost of maintaining a relief recipient, and
stands lowest among the seven largest cities
in percentage of population on relief.

These figures do not mean that there is a
lower percentage of unemployed in Vancou-

ver, but that Vancouver has been successful
in keeping more jobless off relief than any
other city named. Wancouver City Council
sends a large number to the Oakalla prison
where the maintenance cost does not fall on
the city, lets thousands go hungry, and many
they let die of slow starvation, the victims’
only comfort being Rey. Roddan’s sermons,
Jerry McGeer’s moral platitudes and the po-
licemen’s clubs.

And while Vancouver stands fourth among
Canadian cities in average cost per relief re-
cipient, it stands lowest of the three other
western cities named, viz: Winnipes, Calgary
and Regina where the cost of living is con-
siderably higher than in Vancouver.

The highest scale of relief paid in Canada
is in Calgary. And that is not because there
is a labor faker mayor or because of labor
fakers on the city council, but in spite of
them. The labor skate mayor, Andy David-
son, fought bitterly against the unemployeds’
demands for more relief, and had many work-
ers clubbed and jailed in the interest of the
bondholders and big taxpayers.

The unemployed of Calgary won a greater
measure of relief by organized militant
struggle, and by those means alone. Their
great relief strike of a few months ago, which
they won, is well remembered, and the un-
employed of Vancouver can win more relief
only by the same methods. The militant
united front of all unemployed in unity with
all working class organizations is the only

road.

THE JAILING OF TURNER

The boss class fear the strike of the work-
ers in the slave camps which is scheduled to
begin on April 4th, and have set the police
and the machinery of class justice into mo-
tion to prevent it. The jailing of Jim Turner,
District Organizer of the Relief Camp Work-
ers’ Union, in Cranbrook, is for the purpose
of preventing the strike or to make it ineffec-
tive. A reign of terror is on to smash the
union and scatter or jail the union leaders.

This. challenge must be taken up by the
entire labor movement. Trade Unions, So-
cialist Party, C.C.F. Clubs and the Commun-
ist Party should flood the offices of Attorney-
General Sloan and the federal government
with protests against this latest outrage, and
demanding the release of Turner and the
Slave Camp workers who are in Oakalla jail.

ATROCITY STORIES

Tucked away on an inside page among ad-
vertisements in the capitalist press on March
25th was a-:small item stating that Rey. and
Mrs. Frencham, British missionaries, are
safe and unharmed.

These are the two whose names were
spread over the front pages a few weeks ago
as being held and tortured by Communist
*Dpandits.”

The spreading of such stories—with a cor-
rection later—is not due to misinformation,
but is part of a well-organized propaganda
campaign to generate hatred against Soviet
China, the Soviet Union, and against every-
thing Red.

It is as much a part of war preparation as
is the manufacture of munitions. These
atrocity stories are not new. The world was
deluged with them during the last World
War; and during the armed invasion of
Soviet Russia by the capitalist powers, aiter
the proletarian revolution, there were spread
the wildest lies and slanders about “bolshevik
atrocities.”

Old pictures of famine victims in China,
India and Czarist Russia are exhumed from
the newspaper morgues and touched up, doc-
tored, given new labels and presented as pic-
tures taken this year in Soviet Ukraine.

As war nears, the campaign against the
revolutionary workers intensifies, because
the imperialist war mongers still fear the
rear in case of war.

The task of the workers is to expose the
lies and slanders of the capitalists and their
reformist lackeys and to build the united
front of labor against the blood bath being
prepared, and in defense of the Soviet Union
and Soviet China.

tember 27 printed an article entitled

HOW ABOUT IT,
MR. WOODSWORTH?

When James Woodsworth, the |

bellwether of reformism in Canada,
returned from a vacation in the Ori-
ent, he expressed himself in the ap-
proved manner of social-reformism
and itS master—imperialism—with
regard to the heroic struggle of the
Chinese workers and peasant who to
the number of Some 85 to 95 millions
had thrown off the rule of tze im-

perialist tool and butcher of the
workers and peasants—Change Ik<ai
Shek.

Woodsworth spoke like a Churchill,
a Bennett, a Hearst or a Ludendortt.
He referred to the generals and
soldiers af the Soviet Chinese Red
Army as “bandits,” and to Chang
Kai Chek as the builder of the “New
China’ which would “‘reseue’’ Soviet
China from the hands of the “ban-
dits’”” and bring it once again under
the heel oF foreign imperialism: and
its tool, Chank Kai Shek.

But Soviet China, emulating the
Soviet Union, is growing so strong
that even itS enemies are forced to
face realities, albeit with as much
chagrin as Woodsworth exhibited
when he reluctantly admitted pro-
gress in the Soviet Union after his
visit there a few years ago. Below
are some excerpts froma more real-
istic observers, and more accurate
as well, than the parliamentary
leader of Canadian reformism:

In the Lytton Report to the League
of Nations we read the followine:

“Communism in China not only
means, aS in most countries other
than the U.S.8.R., either a political
doctrine held by certain members
ot existing parties, or the organi-
zation of a special party to com-
pete for power with other political
parties. It has become an actual
rival of the National government.
It possesses its own law, army and
government, and its own territorial
sphere of action’”’ (Lytton Report,
pp. 22-23).

In The Times of November 13 and
14 of this year, the official organ
of English imperialism, there ap-
peared an article entitled “Commun-
ism in China,” the author ef which
had personally been a recent visitor
to the Soviet districts in Kiangsi
and Hunan. In this article he
writes:

“There are many people who
maintain that Conimunisni in this
instance is merely a courtesy title
for the familiar phenomena ot ban-
ditry, discontent and unemploy-
ment. They are widely mistaken.
The following observations—based
on a journey round the ‘front’ of
the anti-commiunist forces im Tki-
angsi and thence south through
Hunan—may provide the material
for a truer and less reassuring in-
terpretation.

“The curse of China is ineifec-
tiveness; the Chinese Communists
are not imeffective. Lhe Red areas
are controlled and rigidly con-
trolied, by a Central government
with headquarters at the ‘capital,’
Shuikin.”

. . - Here the Communists had
maintaimed a stable government, a

tory and a school-system that had
made immense progress towards
its goal of providing uni¥ersal free
education. ...

“NMuringe six months of continual
warfare they have proved them-
selves to be the only truly native
government in China. The war
lords of the North are pawns of
the Japanese; from them they ex-
pect subsidies. The Cantonese in
the South-east are under British

- influence. Chiang Kai Shek and
his Nanking government are wil-
ling to listen to any foreign power
that offers them loans and muni-

tions of war.
They are subservient to the
Japanese, but their closest sym-

pathies are with American capital-
ism. The Soviets receive no
foreign help, no subsidies or loans,
no weapons except those which
they capture from their enemies.

Time and again they have shown
that if Western and Japanese sup-
port were withdrawn from the
puppet governments of the sea
coast, all China would be Com-
munist within a few months or
years.’—M.B.

To “Capitalist
Saae +o)

“We are opposed to the dictator-
ship of the proletariat. We don’t
want any dictatorships, either from
the right or from the left.”

So said the European Social-
Democrats, so say the leaders of the
CCF. in Ganada. Im making such
statements they are deliberately try-
ing to befuddie the whole question,
trying to make the workers believe
that democracy, as it is practised in
capitalist countries, is not a dic-
tatorship, that it represents self-
government by a “‘free’’ people-

Just Two Dictatorships

Tt is well Known that the Com-
munist position is the extreme left
of the Labor movement, but that
does not mean that the dictatorship
of the proletariat, as advocated by
the Communists, is a dictatorship
from the left. The term is com-
pletely misapplied. Dictatorships
are neither left nor right. There are
just two forms of dictatorships in
the world, namely, the capitalist
elass organized as the ruling class
in ‘democratic’ and Fascist coun-
tries, and the working class organ-
ized as. the ruling class, as in the
Soviet Union.

Limits the Workers’ Struggles

The great deception of the €.C- F
leaders consists in this, that they
would have the workers and farm-
ers believe that the present form of
government, the parliamentary, is
not a dictatorship of the capitalist
elass, that it is cnly in Fascist coun-
tries like Germany and Italy that
there is a dictatorship of the capi-
talist class. This is the foulest kind
of treachery, and the purpose of
such a policy is to strengthen the
position of the capitalist class by
limiting the workers’ struggle to the
use of the ballot in parliamentary
elections. The calculated and de-
sired effect of this policy is clear,
to strengthen the capitalist dictator-
ship by repudiating all dictatorships.

Democracy For the Capitalists.

Capitalist democracy is the rule of
about 10 per cent of the population,
who own the means of production,
over the 90 per cent. It is demoec-
racy only for the capitalists. The
governmental apparatus of this capi-
talist democracy is the parliamen-—
tary form of government. This form
of government retained by the
eapitalists as long as the people be-
Jieve it is democratic, as long as it
can serve as a bulwark against
working class rule. In those coun-
tries where the workers and farm-
ers lose faith in parliament, where

is

they in their struggles for existence
get to understand that they them-
selves must take over complete gov—
ernmental power, the capitalists re-
sort to open, terroristic dictatorship,
with or without parliament. This
stage is Fascism. Fascism is not the
beginning of the dictatorship of the
eapitalist class, it is the continua-
tion of it in a more vicious and
open form. The C€.C.F. leaders must
know this; they cannot help but be
aware of it.

Ownership and Rule.

In the Soviet Union where thers
is a dictatorship of the proletariat,
where the working class is the own-
ing class and are, therefore, organ-
ized as the ruling class, there is a
different form of government, the
Soviet system. When a change of
ownership in the means of produc-
there must necessarily take place
tion of the necessities of life occurs
a change in the governmental anc
social institutions: Why? Because
under capitalism production is £03
profit for the few Who own, anc¢
under Socialism production is t
supply the needs of the workers ant
peasants, the great majority, wht
own. So, as the motive or incentive
for production is different, so mus
the entire administrative machinery
be different.

The Soviet system of governmen
is democracy for the new ownin}
class, the e¢reat majority of thi
population. Hence jit iS an im
measurably higher form of demo
eracy than contained in the parlia
mentary system.

The Transition Period.

But democracy itself implies ©
form of state; that is, an organize
coercive power, police, court of laws
armies, etc., to protect the interest
of the owning and ruling class. A
classes gradually disappear under th
Soviet syStem, there gradually de
velopes a condition where there ;
no use for a coercive power, it witk
ers away, aud democracy also witk
ers away with it. “The sovernmer
of people is replaced by the adminis
tration of things.”

Thus, the dictatorship of tk

ists, is a transition period only, De

of course, was father to the thought.
They hoped that the revolution,
which was the beginning of Social-
ism, would never be established on a
permanent basis.

They did more than hope for its
downfall. They spent millions in
equipping former Czarist leaders,
such as Denikin, Kolchak, Wrangel
and Yudenich, who lead armies
against the heroic Red Guards of
the young Soviet Republic. They
even reinforced these White troops
with special Expeditionary Forces.
But all these efforts were fruitless.
United under Lenin’s leadership the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union defeated the attacks of the
White armies and drove them from
the country.

When peace was finally won the
country was in a dreadful shape. In-
dustry was crippled. Thousands of
mechanics had been killed in fight-
jing-the Whites. Transportation was
not only crippled but almost para-
lyzed. Three thousand railroad
bridges had been destroyed by the
Whites. Coal mines and oil-wells
had been destroyed by fire and water
at the instigation of agents of foreign
capitalists. And what a condition
agriculture was in! The cattle and
erain of the peasants had been seized
to feed the millions in the Czarist
armies, the horses used in farm work

had been taken for military trans-

It was from a condition like this
that the Bolshevik Party undertook
to lead the advance to Socialism.
Lenin formulated the New Economic
Policy, which gave certain tempo-
rary privileges to foreign and do-
mestic private business interests.
This, he said, is to give us a breath-
ing space. It was a slight retreat,
but a retreat rendered necessary by
the situation; a retreat that was for
the sole purpose of reorganizing the
working-class forces so that they
might make greater steps forward.
The NEP was hailed by the capitali-
sts a return to capitalism in
Russia. But time has proved how
jnecorrect was their judgment. It was
a retreat WITHOUT A DEFEAT.

Reconstruction was slow in the
beginning. At first the engineers
and technical experts of Czarism re-
fused to work for a workers’ govern-
ment; later they had to or starve.
And as if the sabotage of those ex-
perts was not enough, there appeared
upon the scene men who, although
former revolutionists, began to sabo-
tage in a political way. The leader of
them was Leon Trotzky.

The task of buildine up Socialism
in a country that appeared to be on
the verge of economic ruin filled
Trotzky with despair, and he broad-
casted his opinion that it was im-
possible. The backward Russian
workers, he said, were unequal to the
