JUDGE NESBITT DOES HS DUTY Farmer Denied Natural- ization for Attending a Meeting CAMP LISTHR, B.C., May 10.— Aleck Hantchuk, of Canyon, B.C., applied for naturalization papers at Nelson last April.

He was advised to get two “respectable” citizens to vouch for him. An: idea of “respectable” as viewed from the standpoint of this labor-hating judge can be gained when it is known that he recom- mended Constable Hassard of the Provincial Police of Nelson, and Woods the notorious heeler and alleged stool Postmaster political pigeon, The Programs of C.C.F. and C.P.C.--A Contrast By M. Wee the approaching Federal Election the Communist slogan of a united anti-capitalist front based on the most pressing needs of the working around discussion between Communists and other revolu- tionary workers on the one hand, and the C.C.F. and their supporters on the other. It is devote too much time in discussion front im the election; it suffice the Communist Election Program: “All forces of the working class @ movement, the toiling farmers, the professional and middle class peo- ple—all who suffer as a result of the capitalist crisis — must be united in the fight against hunger, and war. After the com- ing election the masses will not have even the legal right to exer- cise the franchise for another five years. Capitalist rule—with either Liberal or Conservative Party in office—holds nothing but poverty and degradation, terror, suppres- sion, fascism and war in store for Only by united strug- ele can the masses defend them- selves. The Communist BPlection Committee proposes the united front of the C.C.F. and the Com- munist Party in the coming Fed- eral elections, on the basis of the commion economic and political in- terests of the masses in this fight. The Communist Blection Commit- tee calls for unity in struggle for the needs of the massés — unity agamst the Liberal and Conserva- tive parties of big capital—unity for the election of a substantial number of Communist and C.C.F. eandidates, who are pledged to the line of daily united struggle against hunger, fascism and war.’ fascism the masses.

Let us now deal with the arguments of DICK people in Canada requires all not necessary here for us to on the need of the united s to quote the following from of the G.GCF. and the Communist Party Executive Committee, as well as in a number of ridings, we were told that the immediate program of consisting of five (now eight), is embodied in C.C.F. program and therefore there is no need for unity. “This being so,” they say, “get behind the C.C.%. in the election and support candidates.”’ action, main points the our But is the Communist Election Program similar to the C.C.F.

Weither the main program adopted at the Regina C.G FE: nor the so-called immediate program of action drafted in Winnipeg is an they convention, immediate program of action; speak only of the future—that is, if the C.C.F. wins in the coming elec- tion.

Finally, there is nothing offered to concretely op- pose growing fascism and the fey- erish preparation for the Canadian capitalist class. What has the say on this matter? allowance. war by C.C.F. program to The C.C.E. im- mediate program .adopted at Win- nipes convention, July 1934, states: “The €.C.F. stands for a com- plete change in our present eco- nomic system, by tne establish- ment of a planned and socialized economy, through constitutional means. In our Regina manifesto, issued in 1933, we set forth in de- tail the program by which we pro- pose to realize that end. In order to remove the poverty and inse- curity now endured by the people, and to Jay the foundation of the new social order, a C.C.F. gover- ment will immediately proceed to enact legislation dealing with the major problems of the nation.’ The above quotation from C.C.F. program speaks for itself. We should remind ourselves of the fact that the National leaders of the C.C.F. in their speeches state that they will not be able to win the com- the ing election. This means that for another five years or longer the masses of Canadian working people must remain helpless before the at- tacks of the capitalists, relying on vague generalities and promises for a distant future, despite imperative need for immediate program of action ta meet the concrete and im- which an mediate problems confront the workers now, and which ery for solution.

The Preparations for Joint Action if Packers Reject Terms VANCOUVER, May imately four hundred fishermen gathered here at the Silver Slipper Hall to hear the report of the Joint Committee of Action. The report of the committee established that the Canned Salmon Section of the Gana- dian Manufacturers’ “ae 12.—A pprox- Association is the buck’’ in the as in previous years. On the recent occasion, when the Joint Price Committee presented the prices to the C.M.A., they stated that the Canned Salmon Section had not met to decide on the next sea- Son’s prices, again passing Same manner however, they proceed- JUDGE LEADS FIGHT AGAINST PICKETING MONTREAL, May 14.— “Picket- ting is an illegal and a reprehensible custom,” declared a Montreal judge, Mr. Justice Ludger Forest, in grant- ing an injunction to restrain work- ers from pickettinge the Victoria Hat Co. The judge declared ‘‘all British subjects are free to remain outside a labor union if they so desire under the laws of the proyince.’’ According to this “‘logic’’ it must be illegal to belong to a labor union. Montreal union girls are continuing o the picketting. Fishermen Endorse Prices Set By Joint Committee ed to pave the way for a cut in prices by explainine to the Commit- tee “the difficulties they were fac- ing in marketing the fish and how they were operating ‘the industry at a loss for the sake of giving employ— ment to fishermen.” When pressed for an answer on the price demands, Mr. Parker, sec- retary of the ©.M.A., announced that: the Canned Salmon Section meet on May would 10th or 18th to dis- cuss the prices as presented to them by the fishermen’s committee and that they would “send imvitations’’ to the committee to meet azain to hear the results of their meeting in a few days. The meeting unanimously endorsed the prices as set by the joint com- mittee and instructed the committee to make immediate tentative prep- arations for action should the pack- ers reject the said demands. It was further decided to hold another mass meeting on Sunday next, May 19th, at the same place and same hour. KILDONAN STRIKE A press report from Winnipes dated May 15 states that Chief Don- ald and Constable MacDonald of Winnipes were thrown into a “mud puddle” by 50 relief strikers at West Kaldonan, when they attempted to help some scabs break the relief workers’ strike. The news item re- ports that Chief Donald sent toe Winnipes for R.C.M.P. to assist him, but they arrived too late. Preparing Youth For War Cc. LL. Burton, president of the Robert Simpson Co., Toronto, has solved the problem of youth. He has proposed the setting up of a “Youth Re-establishment Corps” in which thousands of unemployed youth would live and work. He says, “While having no mili. tary objective, it should be organ- ized along military lines. It should be divided into companies and bri- gades. Members should be uni- formed, fed and housed in camps, be disciplined the same as militia units.” What a tragic joke this is, “no military objective.’ Do you train young men for war in order to have peace? Are we not living in a world pregnant with the menace of war? Is it not true that the relief camp men now in the city are strik- ing mainly against the military char- acter of the camps, against the iron heel of the Department of National Defence? Obviously, this is all too true. We youth refuse to be fooled as our fathers were fooled. We are or- Sanizin= against the war scheme’s of the Canadian Hitlers of the Bur- tons and the Bennetts. ¥.C.L. Welcomes Released Camp Workers At a social on Saturday night at their headquarters at 594 Union Street, the Young Communist League welcomed twenty-eight re- lief camp workers just released from a three month term in Okalla jail. These young men were im- prisoned for taking a meal without paying for it when refused relief, in other words they were jailed for refusing to starve. They are ready as before to take up the struggle for the abolition of the camps. ¥.C.L. Goes Hiking On Sunday, May 19th, the Young Communist League is going hiking on the north shore. Members wish- ing to take an outing will meet at the North Vancouver ferry wharf at 8:30 a.m. and will be prepared to take care of their own lunches.

Let's go! various anti-labor laws pxassed by the Federal and provincial goyern- ments places additional burdens on the workers and establishes fascist codes and legalizes terror. The united front is being realized now between C.C.F. members, Com- munists and others in the strugele for the abolition of slave camps, against terror in Corbin. It must be strengthened and extended through- out the whole C.C.F. organization in this province. Only such powerful united action of the C.C.E&., Socialist and Communists on the political field, can defeat poverty, fascism and war.
