Vancouver, B.C., August 23, 1935 SHAMEFUL SLANDER Harold Winch, M.L.A., and leading mem- ber of the ©.C.F., became prominent in labor circles about the time of the formation of the C.G.F. movement in B. C. Possessed of re- markable enthusiasm and aggressiveness he proved a yaluable asset to the C.C.F. and at an early age was elected to the Provincial House for Vancouver East. His very mili- tancy on the public platform won for him numerous supporters and especially workers, who felt that he could espouse their cause with the courage of a young man in the House. This was all to the good. There comes a time, however, in the class struggle when the fight between the working class and their exploiters sharpens, and when leaders of the masses must really lead, and earry the struggle to higher planes than the public platform. Such a course developed in the struggle of the camp boys last May in Vancouver. That struggle was a living @x= ample of what is meant by the united front against poverty. Scores of C.C.LF. Clubs, Socialist Party Branches, Trade Unions, Gommunist Party Bodies, women’s organiza- tions, and even church bodies rallied to the cause of the camp boys, and stood shoulder to shoulder with them in their strike for a better living. 2 Ugly rumors were brought to the office of the “B. GC. Workers’ News” regarding the conduct of Harold Winch during the strike and demonstrations in Vancouver. They were suppressed, and rightly so. To have roused suspicion and make a cleavage in the ranks of the supporters of the camp boys would have been unforgivable. Tt is no easy task to loyally lead the struggles of the toilers against capitalism in the sharp clashes that are bound to ensue. Harold Winch, young though he is, knows it. Other leaders of the C.C_F. know it. Arthur Evans knows it. the LIW.W. strikes in the U.S.A. He has realized it many times since, at Drumheller, at Princeton, at Vancouver, and at Regina, but there has not yet appeared any respon- sible individual or organization to charge Evans with shirking his responsibility in the struggle against capitalism, either in drab times of peace or in class conflict. It has re- mained for Dr. Telford and H. Winch to bring forward such an unsubstantiated charge. It is hollow and false. In fact, it is the re- verse if anything. Evans is courageous to a degree that most leaders would balk at. Tf it is true, as the reports to this office from outside points state, that H. Winch is repeating these slanderous statements re- garding Evans, then members of the C.C.F. must demand a stop be put to this harmful repetition of false charges that are casting doubt and suspicion in the minds of the workers unacquainted with the real facts of the camp boys’ strike. McGeer slandered Evans when he charged that he stole money from the miners of Drumheller. He got his answer at Drumbeller last Saturday night when he mentioned Evans name unfavorably in connection with the camp boys’ strike in Vancouver. The miners of Drumheller booed him incessantly. Youthful enthusiasm, militancy, good plat- form delivery, and organizational ability are assets in the labor movement when used to further the struggles of the toilers against the capitalist class. Used by leaders against ¢rue and loyal leaders in order to defame and thus split the ranks of the workers, they are no longer virtues or assets to be desired, but become abominable. HALIFAX CONVENTION B.C. Trade Unionists of the International (A.F.of L..) Unions will be represented at the Convention of the Dominion Trades Congress at Halifax on Sept. 14th by Percy Bengough. It is to be regretted that more delegates could not be sent. Due to lack of funds in the local unions, most of them with reduced ranks, and coupled with the reactionary pol- icy pursued by the leaders, the International Unions in B.C. are in a deplorably weak con- dition. There are, however, a goodly number of trade unionists still in the ranks of the locals who can strive to put forward a policy that will convey to the Congress the spirit of progress demanded by the majority of the rank and file. It cannot be expected that Bengough will propose endorsation of Full Free Social Insurance. Neither will he spon- sor a resolution for the repeal of Section 98. Progressive members of local unions should He knew it years ago in ~ ELECTIONS IN ALBERTA By the time this paper reaches points out- side of Vancouver the result of the Provincial Election in Alberta will be known. The elec- tion campaign, coming as it does immediately previous to the Federal Election, has re- ceived major attention from both Liberal and Conservative parties. Both have strenuously attempted to prove their concern for the workers’ and farmers’ interests (on the elec- tion propaganda platform), and are blaming the U.F.A. Government for the ills and mis- ery of the people of Alberta. As a matter of fact, the U.F.A. Govern- ment followed the self-same policy as the Liberals in B.C. and as nearly as possible as the Bennett Government in Ottawa. The workers and farmers who protested against poverty and misery were clubbed in Edmon- ton just as they were in Vancouver, Prince- ton or Prince George. The Alberta Govern- ment introduced and enforced a bill similar to the Special Powers Act of the Liberal B.C. Government against the workers. For the last three years this reactionary govern- ment starved and clubbed the workers, whilst its main body, the United Farmers of Alber- ta was an affiliated organization of the C.G.F. As Stewart Smith shows in his article pub- lished elsewhere in this issue, this policy of supposed socialistic reforms, but in reality, the operation of the state functions in the interests of the capitalist class, has paved the way for the rankest deception of the masses by the fascist-inspired and capitalist- supported movement called “Social Credit.” Out of the 48 Social Credit candidates in the field, there is not one manual worker. Company lawyers, brokers, doctors, etc. pre- dominate, with one or two school teachers. The only party with a full slate of worker candidates is the Communists. There are eight Communists in the field. Disgusted with the Conservative, Liberal and U.F'.A. Governments, there is every indi- cation that masses of electors will turn to the Social Credit movement as a way out. The deep thinking ones will turn to the worker candidates. HANDS OFF ETHIOPIA! _A robber war is being prepared on Ethi- opia. The stage is being set for another world slaughter. Latest cable reports to the press resemble the days before August, 1914. The same kind of hurried conferences of heads of governments are feverishly attempting to “prevent” war, and “avert the nations’ peo- ple being: drawn into another shambles.” This is what the press reports are intended to convey. They are lies. Behind the scenes, the governments of Europe are maneuvering to gain advantageous positions. Cabinet leaders in the British Government (according to the statements made public) consulted Dominion representatives in ac- cordance with the well established practice of keeping the dominions fully informed of the Imperial Government’s policy. The next press cable, however, informs us that the Dominion representatives will not agree to an “all-Empire application of eco- nomic and financial pressure policy on Italy.” International antagonisms are intensify- ing. Capitalism inevitably leads to war. Fas- cism is the principal enemy of peace. Fascism cannot live without war. Italian Fascism, Nazi Germany, and Japan are prepared to fling the world’s toilers into another great holocaust. Only one thing can dam it back. In 19114 the workers of the world could not do so. They were standing in a maze. They were led into alleys where they were trapped and slaughtered. They were betrayed by the leaders of the Second International who turned into recruiting agents for Imperial ism. The situation is different in that re- spect today. Workers all over the world have learned through bitter experiences, through strike struggles, through clubbings, beatings, and through starvation and misery, that they have nothing to gain from robber wars of the Imperialists. Not only have they learnt these lessons, but many thousands of them have learnt that there is a path to permanent peace. : To lead hundreds of more thousands, yea, millions onto that path is the historical mis- Sion of every class-conscious working man, woman and youth. That path leads to Socialism. ‘Socialism alone means peace for the people of the world. In the Soviet Union where socialism is being built, there exists the most powerful bulwark in defense of peace that ever existed in history. There is no time to lose. The war dogs are barking and ready to bite. The united front of all peace loving people against the threat of war, which may no longer be a threat tomorrow, can hinder the plans of the warmongers. Build it now. Set up com- mittees to rouse the peace loving population to protest against Italian invasion of Ethopia. Raise the peace cry of “Hands off Ethopia.” Harold Winch Slanders Slim Evans At Pr. Rupert: Doesn’t Like “The Worker’ Thousands of Campboys Have Full Confidence in Evans Resentment i sexpressed by num- erous workers in Prince Rupert at a recent speech made there by Har- old Winch, M.L.A., at a political meeting. Copies of the Prince Rup- ert “Daily News’’ have been sent here with assurances from corres- pondents that the printed report is accurate, as they also heard the C. C.F. leader make the slanderous at- tack upon A. Eyans, and on “The Worker,” leading revolutionary newspaper, pulished in Toronto. The objectionable parts of the speech are as follows: An inyvidual aroused the ire of Mr. Wineh on mentioning “The ¥WVorker”’ criticisms © of Mayor Simpson of Toronto. ““Ehe Worl- er’ is one of the dirtiest rags which comes out in the Dominion of Canada,” asserted the speaker. Mr.. Winch charged Arthur Ev- ans, Communist leader, with hav- ing incited relief camp marchers to riot in Wanecouver, and, when trouble loomed, he was hiding far off in a buildme, The €.C.F. and United Front should be fighting together, in- stead of being divided on the ques- tion of tactics. Filthy Slander The above statements by Mr. H. Winch are not charges, they are filthy slanders. In dealing with the first slander against “The Worker” re Mayor James Simpson of Toronto. Thousands of G.C.F. members dis- owned Simpson, who, by his actions, proved to be a re-doubling traitor to the working class, and it was only the csating vote of the Rev. Ben Spence on one occasion (and reported in “‘The Worker’) that Simpson was not expelled from the C.C.F. Evidently Mr. H. Winch who champions Simpson, disagrees with the workers of Toronto. Mayor Simpson, as head of the Toronto po- lice commission, is responsible for the smashing of picket lines and for the clubbing of the unemployed. Photographs of such scenes were published in “The Worker,” who made it a point to expose Toronto’s “Socialist” mayor. On July 13th Simpson ordered the arrest of the taggers who were col- Jecting to aid the trekkers. This al- so “The Worker’ exposed. In fact, going back over the files, there is Oa consistent record of Simpson’s anti-labor acts and speeches. Such definite, factual exposures, in the opinion of Mr. H. Winch, make for a “‘dirtiest rag in the Dom- inion.” Significant to note that he made no effort to back up such a Slander. . Duplicates Citizens’ League Attack on Evans Slander No. 2: “Arthur Evans In- cited the Camp Boys to Riot.” The workers can listen unmoved to the fascist Mayor McGeer make this lying statement, or from “The Sun’ and the Citizens’ League, but from a leading member of the C-CIr. it is an outrage on the workers’ movement of which Evans is a re- spected leader. Thousands of Vancouver citizens know and Mr. Winch Knows that it was MecGeer who endeavored by every means possible to provoke the camp boys, and that it was their splendid discipline along with good jeadership which disappointed the fascist mayor. Will Mr. Winch dare deny that the camp boys accepted Art Evans as their outstanding leader? “Inciting to rit’ is invariably a “frame-up”’ charge used by the cap- italist law courts; used on the Jips of Wineh, whom many workers fol- lew, is: an abominable slander, And after “inciting to riot’ Evans, according to Mr. Winch, “tvent into hiding when trouble loomed.” Tt is presumed that this intended slander is in reference to the great “snake parade,” photographs of which took front page in the local . papers. vans did not lead that parade, Mr. Winch—so what! Apparently your intention is to brand Arthur Evans as being yellow. Byvans Is Qutstandmg Courageous Leader Evans is the man who led the suc- cessful strike of the Princeton min- ers and was railroaded to jail for two years. As organizer for the Worker’ Unity Teague, he held and spoke at meetings in Princeton at a time when an armed fascist ganze was openly beating up the strike leaders. He led the camp boys right up to, and spoke at the mass meeting in Reeina where hot lead was used by the R.G.M.P. thugs. Evans has a hole in his lee as big as your fist, Mr. Winch, received from a bullet from a Rockefeller gunman during a struggle of the Colorado miners when he was 17 years old — just about the time you were born.

Wo, Mr. Winch; you will isolate yourself completely from the work- ers’ movement should you persist in slandering it. The main body of Mr. Winch’s speed was excellent. A slashing at— tack on Bennett and Stevens and MecGeer and an exposure of the rot- tenness of the capitalist system, al- thougeh his “parliamentary way out” cna be challenged. Why he should burl such outrageous slanders at # leading workers’ paper and a fighter of the calibre of Evans is, to say the least, astounding. His quoted appeal at the end of his speech for unity instead of divi- sion, can be realized, in fact was realized in no small degree during the struggle of the camp workers. Mr. Winch must, however, change his present attitude if he wants to be a respected leader in the coming united struggles of the common peo- ple against fascism, war and for so- Arthur Evans did not lead the cialism.—B. P. The Freedom Of The Press Another Reason For Supporting ‘Workers’ Press’ Below, we publish the conver- sation between Representative Wreht Patman of Texas, chair- man of the House Sub-committee investigating. the activities of chain stores, and John A.

The investigation was be- Ing conducted at Washington in the early part of this month. Ed. EE . if you were in the news- Paper business, and from 70 to 90 per cent of your entire revenue came from that sort of advertising, you would hesitate a long time be- fore you put anything in your paper that would be caluculated to drive off that 70 to 90 per cent of rev- enue.” “Tn that case I would say that I am protecting my own interets,” answered Logan, who added that “it is a matter of, self-protection of one’s business to take care of sour- ces of revenue.” “But can you blame any publisher who derives 70 to 90 per cent of his revenue from advertising for want- ing to protect that revenue?’ asked Logan. Rep. Patman introduced into the record a letter from Logan to E. J. Smith, of Sacramento, California, which stated: “Chain stores because of their considerable contribution to local newspapers in the way of ad- yvertisine should be able to obtain very generous support in the way of news items from such papers, not only in a general newS manner, but in definite opposition to discrimina- tory legislation as such. In some states newspapers haye co-operated very effectively in thi manner.” “You state it there better than I could state it,’’ said Rep. Patman. Alberta Social Credit Is Fascist Inspired On Soil Prepared By C.C.F. —— s By STEWART SMITH “Social Credit,” abstracting from its elaborate facade of promises and illusions, means inflation of the cur- reney. And it is precisely here that this special plank of “Canadian So- Cialism"’ establishes once again its connection with the established prac- tices of the ruling bourgeoisie. Mr. Woodsworth and other €.C.F. eaders have called time and again for inflation Gf the currency. Their calls have been answered. The Ben- nett government has already inflated the currency to the tune of $88,000,- 000 and is taking ever new measures in the direction of inflation. For what purpose? To cut real wages, to cut the sal- aries and incomes of the entire mid- dle class and to force prices up, at the same time helpin® to balance the government budget. Thus, behind the mysterious sym- bols of ‘Social Credit,’ the C.C_F. leaders continue the alliance with the Bennett government, supporting its inflation policy, which is directed against the interests of the masses of common people. The Riberta Government and “Social Credit”’ But apart from htis, “Canadian Socialism’ has lost its exclusive claim to mystic rites of “‘Social Cred- it.’ In Alberta, developments of the most historic importance for the Ca- nadian people haye taken place. A semi-fascist mass movement has arisen out of the soil prepared by socia-reformist betrayal. This movement, as all fascist-in- spired movements, has need of the most extreme form of deception of the people by the promise of freeing them from the bondage of capital- ism. It is not accidental that it has found just such a means of decep- tion ready-made for it by social- reformism and the U.f.A. govern- menit—‘‘Social Credit.”’ We, Communists, have time and i |again called attention to the develop- ments in Alberta, because the most far-reaching lessons are to be learned from that province. The Canadian working class has seen the experi- ence with “Iabor’ and “Socialist” governments in England, Germany, Australia. We have seen the way opened to fascism in Germany and Austria by the paralyzing influence of social-re- formist promise of “‘peaceful trans- formation to Socialism,’ ‘‘democ- racy,’ “constitutionalism.” But in Alberta, we have before our very eyes the most classic example of how social-erformism paralyzes the working class in the face of fas- cism after preparing the ground for ii When the C€.C.F. was formed, the United Farmers of Alberta official- dom were among the most prominent founders. Bhe U.F.A. government was in no small way identified with the C.C.F. through the person of Premier Brownlee, whose political career came to an abrupt end in the recent seduction scandal, but whose spirit lives on in the U.P.A. Government. Moreover, the C_C.F. national lead- ership of the party to which the U. F.A. party was affiliated, their Si- lecen in the face of the reactionary deeds of this government against the interests of the masses of people of Alberta was a very definite Support. If some leaders of the C.C.F. dis- owned the U.F.A. government and the national leadership avoided the issue, then this was nothing but po- litical trickery and evasion of respon- sibility before the Canadian masses. Only two courses were open: 10 fight the reactionary U_F.A. govern- ment and expose it before the masses as a capitalist regime covering itself with the C.C.F. program, or to Si- lently acquiesce in all of its reac- tionary, capitalist policies. The GG. leaders chose the sec- ond course. strive to get such resolutions passed in their locals and forwarded to the Congress. East- ern delegates attending the Congress who support progressive labor movements will thus realize that they are not alone and will fight harder and with better heart to achieve their aims.

In spite of the fact that the Shipping Federation cold-blaodedly planned the smashing of the union before the lock-out, yet the ranks of the union men have remained firm. The stubborn, caleulated stand of the Shipping Federation, which is eausing so much misery among bona fide workers and which insists that the taxpayers of Vancouver shall continue to bear an unjustifi- able’ burden, calls for a radical change in the present situation. The men haye been consistent in their efforts to ‘megotiate a settle- ment of the whole dispute. Every Begin Negotiations Now @pulletin and piece of literature is- sued by the strike committee proves this. The onus of the present situa- tion rests with the Shipping Federa- tion. That the sympathies of an overwhelming majority of working men are with the locked-out water- front workers is conclusively shown by the seamen’s yote on the question and the general sentiment prevail- ing in Wancouver and British Columbia. Slanderous statements and imsin- uations emanating from the Ship- ping Federation and the Citizens’ League to the effect that the water- front unions are not unions at all, but trouble-making bodies, are clear- ly refuted by the actual record of the union and its leaders, especially regarding their efforts to negotiate a settlement in face of the provoca- tive attitude of the Shipping Fed- eration. The Jongshoremen’s union, like any other union worthy of the name, is out ta protect the interests of its membership; to take decisive stands against the employer when an at- tack is made on them and to collec- tively bargain for the best conditions possible on the job, at all times.
