NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGAIN

Tall of a “National Government” in Can-
ada will not down. In a speech delivered in
Bastern Canada, Mackenzie King predicted
that Bennett would, within a week, perhaps
in his new set of radio speeches, propose the
formation of such a government in the
The millionaire-owned

ineness to enter such a government.

Bennett and his Tory party are so thor-
oughly discredited that they want to get
their heads into the coalition government
tent, while Stevens, with as little chance as
Bennett of getting a majority in Parliament,
would like to rejoin Bennett in whose re-
actionary company he would be in his natural

element.

Woodsworth, in his address in the Audi-
torium, made no reference whatsoever to
the campaign, powerful although unostenta-

tious, which is being conducted by the finan-
cial interests for a national government. His
dilence is disquieting when one considers his
open declaration of belief in the sincerity of
Bennett and Stevens for reform, although
unable to effect it under capitalism.

Tt is not a far cry from support of Ben-
nett’s “reform” legislation in the House of
Commons to participation in a national goy-
ernment, giving as a reason the better facili-
ties afforded by membership in the govern-

ment in aiding Bennett, Stevens and Com-

pany in their honest intentions to effect
needed reforms.

Mackenzie King when feeling sure of a
majority in the next House was emphatic in
repudiating any suggestion of a national gov-
ernment. He is not so categorical now that
the Aberhart victory in Alberta has upset
his calculations and shaken his confidence.
But we would like to hear from Woodswerth.
It would reassure many of the members of
the G.C.F. and its supporters if he would
unequivocally declare his unalterable deter-
mination to refuse to enter any government
in which the Conservative, Liberal or Recon-
struction parties would be represented,
should such a government be formed.

WOODSWORTH FLOUTS UNITY

That Mr. Woodsworth, leader of the C.C.F.,
has no realization of the needs of the people
of Canada today was painfully made plain by
his speech last Wednesday night in the Au-
ditorium. For him the menace of fascism
does not exist, if failure to even mention
such a danger in Canada is any criterion.

His efforts to justify his support of Ben-
nett’s anti-labor legislation were lame and
unconvincing, The “reason” given was that
whilst not all he desired, they were a “recog-
nition of the responsibility of the State to
provide for the unemployed.’ Yet Bennett's
Unemployment Insurance Bill does not pro-
vide for the unemployed of today or tomor-
row, but places another tax on the workers
of twenty million dollars per year.

In order to justify support of Bennett’s
legislation, including the monopoly-controlled
central bank, he professed to believe in the
genuine desire of Bennett to, effect reform.
He believes also in the desire of Stevens to
bring about reforms, but that neither can
succeed because of the existence of capital-
ism.

Such talk is misleading the people. Neither
Bennett nor Stevens desire to bring about
reforms in the interest of the people, but in
the interest of the finance capitalist inter-
ests they represent. And such “reforms” are
detrimental tofthe interests of the workers,

the debt-ridden farmers and the middle class.

The only show of hate that Woodsworth
made during his speech was when he at-

tacked the Communist Party. He is fearful
of being associated in the bourgeois mind
With any organization as revolutionary as
such a party. The chief purpose of his speech
on Wednesday night seemed to be to disas-
sociate the C.C.F’. from the united anti-cap-
italist front as proposed by the Communists

in the federal elections. The only thing he
granted Communists was the equal right
with the Conservatives and Liberals to vote
for C.C.F. candidates.

His idea of a united front is that all other
parties, including the most advanced of all,
the Communist Party, efface themselves
from the electoral field. His boast that the
C.C.F. already has a united front from coast
to coast was a shoddy play upon words. The
C.C.F. has not even a united front within its
own party. And even if it had, it would not
be a united front of all anti-capitalist forces,
which is the only united front worth talking
about.

Woodsworth should know that the develop-
ment of the political consciousness of the
workers and farmers is an unequal develop-
ment, that there are fundamental and irre-
movable differences between the C.C.F. and
the Communist Party, but that notwith-
standing the existence of such differences,
there is nevertheless common ground upon
which both parties can unite. That common
ground is the fight for the immediate needs
of the common people, the checking and
beating back of the advance of fascism and
the fight against imperialist war.

In this period of threats of fascism and
impending world war it is not to debate ir-
reconcilable fundamental differences that
the C.C.F. and the Communist Party should
meet, but to seek the common ground upon
which unity against capitalism in immediate
struggle can be brought about. But this is
precisely what Woodsworth opposes and to
a great extent prevents, thus keeping the
anti-capitalist forces divided and powerless
to resist the intensifying attacks of the cap-
italists against the workers.

Woodsworth professes to see a contradic-
tion in the Communists supporting C. C.F.
candidates who support the united front and
who have not already proved themselves
enemies of the workers, such as Heaps of
Winnipes, while running candidates in other
constituencies. But there is no contradic-
tion whatsoever. In those constituencies fav-
orable to the running of a Communist can-
didate where the united front is flouted and
denied by the ©€.C.F. the Communists hold
that they have a greater right to contest
the riding than has a C.C.F. candidate. ‘The
Communists have proven their sincerity over
and over again in offering to withdraw can-
didates in the interests of the united front,
but they are not necessarily going to with-
draw a candidate when the united front is
refused by the C.C€.F. candidate. The “united
front’ desired by Woodsworth is a united
front of one party with itself with the other
committing suicide.

When one contrasts the results of Social
Democratic domination of the labor move-

ment in Germany and Austria with the re-
sults in the Soviet Union under Communist
Party leadership, it is easily seen that the
Communist Party of Canada will never ef
face itself to advance the spurious unity pro-
posed by Woodsworth, but will oppose those
leaders and candidates of the C.C.F. who
stand in the way of unity.

Despite the. opposition of Woodsworth,
unity has been achieved in several constitu-
encies in Canada. The fight for unity in
B.C. must go on. The rank and file of the
C.C.F. recognize the erying need for it in the
face of the capitalist offensive, the menace
of fascism and the danger of war, despite
the declared determination of Woodsworth
to “go it alone.”

MINIMUM WAGE EVASIONS

Hon. G. S. Pearson, Minister of Labor in
the Liberal B.C. Government, in a statement
just issued at Victoria, has unwittingly ex-
posed to the workers the worthlessness of
the minimum wage act in B.C. In the B.C.
Workers News last week we showed how one
cannery at Kamloops last year was permit-
ted to pay much less than the minimum wage
all during the canning season, and also after
the plant closed.

Mr. Pearson in his recent statement tells
the employers what to do. He states, “But
there is another class of case in which the
charge will be merely that the employer
failed to keep records. In such cases he will
be fined if guilty, but will not have to pay
back wages, since there is no record of what
he did pay.”

There you have it. All an employer has
to do in order to cheat workers out of hun-
dreds of dollars in wages under the act is to
pay any wage the workers can be forced to
take, and if a bold worker reports him (and
takes a chance of being blacklisted) then all
he has to do is to say that he doesn’t keep
records of wages paid, and he will be asked
to pay a fine of a few dollars, but will be
exempt from paying back wages.

The only dependable way of collecting the
wage set by the Board, and improve on the
minimum wage scale, is by uniting into a
trade union that will fight for better wages
and conditions. With such a union there will
be no need for minimum wage boards.

historians recognize the foundation

of property. In this way the much
boasted freedom of speech and press
in England can be reduced to noth-
ine by the application of some long-
forgotten law of the Middle Ages re-
interpreted by a modern judge in the
interests of imperialism. The law on
state treason, by which the Irish
revolutionary Casement Was exe-
euted in 1916, dates from the four-
teenth century. Tom Mann was sent
to prison for anti-militarist agitation
in 1912 on the basis of a law passed
in 1797, when the British bourgeoisie
feared mutiny in the fleet during
the French revolutionary wars. The
so-called “law of liber” is frequently
used against the Press, especially
the workers’ press, and editors are
jmprisored and fined heavily.

“Such was the class structure of
the bourgeois state In England up
to the imperialist war of 1914-18.
England was, however, even more
famous for the method by which the
state was run, the famous two-
party system existing ever since the
bourgeois revolution in the middle of
the seventeenth century. Whigs and
Tories, Liberals and Conservatives,
succeeded one another to power in
England unchangingly for over two
hundred years, and even the coming
of the proletariat into the political
field early in the nineteenth century
failed to make any decisive change
in the system; the two fractions of
the bourgeoisie continued to rule the
country, taking turns in feeding on
the fat crumbs of office. In the
elassical period of British capital-
ism, in 1855, Marx characterized the
system thus: “The oligarchy perpet-
uates itself not only through the aid
of permanently keeping power in the
same hands, but also by turn and
turn about—letting power out of one
hand in order to eatch it in the
other.’”,-—Ralph Fox in ‘fhe Class
Struggle in Britain.”

WOODSWORTH
REFUSES UNITY

favor of “regulating the big corpor-
ations.” We ridiculed the idea that
liberty would be interfered with by
such regulation. Speaking of the
Liberals, Mrs. Woodsworth made
this statement: “I don’t know what
to expect from the Liberals if they
are elected for five years.”

Mr. Aberhart and his Social Credit
promises were dealt with quite
tersely by the C.C.F. leaders. Mr.
Aberhart, he declared, promises $25
a month, which is a poor sum of
money to offer. “It can’t be done
in one Province. Poverty cannot be
overcome by merely a mionetary ma-
nipulation.’”

Criticizes Communist Policies

Referring to an article in the
Vancouver ‘Sun’? Woodsworth criti-
cized this paper for linking up the
C.C.I. with the Communist Party of
Canada. This brougzht him to that
section of his speech which dealt
with the Communist Party of Can-
ada.

At the mention of the C.P, a large
amount of hand-clappinge broke out.
Mr. Woodsworth stated that the poli-

cies of the Communist Party were
‘Romanticism’ and those of the

C.C.E. were “Realism.”’
Declares Proletarian Revo-
lution Impossible

The National leader of the C.C_E.
developed his argument in an at-
tempt to prove that the overthrow
of the capitalist government was im-
possible, by the followin= method:
He compared the Tsarist regime in
Russia with the democracy 2njoyed
by Ganada, sSsayiine that they were
two entirely different questions.

While admitting that “democratic
right, free speech, ete. were beias
suppressed,” Mr. Woodsworth said
that “big business was too well or-
ganized to allow a revolution; we
would be mown down by machine
suns.” “Communism responsible
for fascism in Austria and Ger-
many,” said Mr. Woodsworth.”’

“We Will Go Gur Own Way”

“The C.C.F. will attempt to
achieve all that the Communists
want to do, peaceably. While
we do not say the ballot will accom-

is

plish everything, we will use the
ballot to the limit. ... Every €.C.b.
candidate must stand by the Re-

Zina Manifesto, which outlines this
policy,” eried Mr. Woodsworth.
Defense of his attitude in the Fed-
eral House toward Section 98, and
maintaining that he fought for the
release of the eight Communists, Mr.
Woodsworth was undoubtedly ad-
dressing himself to Communists and
their sympathizers in the audience.
There was little or no heckling.
Gives Conception of “The
Way Out”
Reducing the question of the
ele for power to a monetary basis,
Mr. Woodsworth said that “the
banks will be taken over. ... Where
does the money come from, do you
say? ...If we don’t feel like paying
we will not pay ... <A bank’s char-
ter is no different to a pediar's li-
cense. We would take away
their charter in just the same way
as a pedlar’s license is taken away.”
Referring to the insistent demand
of the Communist Party that there
be unity between the two parties,
Mr. Woodsworth said: “I definitely,
as chairman of the conference at
Regina, refused cooperation in this
matter, and I had the backing of
the CC.F_... We yield to no one.”
He also spoke on the question of
Tim Buck contesting Heap’s con-
stituency in North Winnipeg, claim-
ings that he failed to understand the
policy of the CP. who will support
one Candidate “and knife another
C.C.F. candidate in the back.”
Mr. Woodsworth saw no signifi-
cance in the Communists supportine=

MeGeer. He said: ““We welcome the

Tim Buck Answers the
Questions of Youth in
Interview

The following is a report of an
interview with Tim Buck by the
Youth Editor of the “B. C. Work-
ers’ News,” on the menace of war.

The questions mvolved are the
most pressing, the most vital, to
the youth of Canada at the present
time:

SIMILARITY TO 1914.

QUESTION.—Comrade Buck, what
do you think of the present war
Situation?

ANSWER. —The conditions mak-
ing for imperialist war resemble very
elosely the conditions obtaining just
before the World War of 1914-1918.
It is searcely possible to conceive of
any change that could be accomp-
lished by so-called “diplomatic meas-
ures” which could prevent war in
Africa now and when Mussolini
“touches off’ his imperialist adven-
ture in Ethiopia he will light the
fuse of world war. There is a tre-
mendous difference in the world
Situation, however, in that the anti-
war sentiment is deeper, more wide-
spread, more firmly organized and
has better leadership. The war sit-
uation menaces the whole working—
elass movement and all democratic
liberties. With its twin, the menace
of fascism, it constitutes a challenge
to civilization, but the terrible nature
of this challenge and the growing
consciousness of what it means
also producing resistance which,
even yet, may be able to prevent
the imperialists carrying through
their full plans.

MILLION SIGNATURES CAM
PAIGN SUGGESTED.
QUESTION.—W hat can the youth

is

do to assist in the fight against
war?

ANSWER.—Youth can do every-
thing. It is the youth who will
have to fight. The only choice the
youth of the common people will
have —have now, in fact—Jis the
choice of whether they will fight
against War now, or in the trenches
When it overwhelms us in all its

bloody ruthlessness and desradation.
By organizing struggles for the im-
mediate urgent needs of the young

people, by joining and building up
theanti-war and anti-fascist move-
ment, by carrying the message of

the fight against war to the widest
circles of young people and their
parents, by placing the youth of
Canada on record as determined not
to be the victims of a new impenrial-
ist war, the youth of Canada can do
more than any other section of the
population (aside, of course, from
the war-makers themselves) to in-
fluence Canadian foreign policy on
the question of war. I think it
would be a tremendous thing if the
Signatures of a million youn men
and women could be secured to a
manifesto against 1 mperialist war
and insisting that Canada stays out
of the one that is coming.

BETTER LIFE CAN BE WON
NOW.
QUESTION.—What does the Com-
munist Party offer the youth in the
forthcoming elections?
ANSWER.—Communist candidates
do not “promise” legislative reforms
in the same manner that bourgeois
politicians do: that is to say, we do
not promise the young men and
women of the working class that
we will give them utopia and para-
dise just like a conjurer pulling rab-
bits out of a hat. We do promise
them leadership, however, in secur-
ing conditions for the youth which
would abolish the present Situation
of universal hopelessness. Free and

B.C. Youth

adequate unemployment insurance,
abolition of slave compounds, oppor-
tunities for extension of vocational
trainings, recreational centers in
every locality where the youth could
develop their own Cultural and edu-
cational methods and forms, are the
main economic demands that we put
forward for the youth. Every one
of these demands can be won. The
conditions existing in Canada today
are such that a militant, organized
youth movement demanding these
things would compel the capitalist
sovernment to concede them wheth-
er they were asked for by a major-
ity of the members of parliament or
by only one. The achievement of
these things would in turn be the
best guarantee of a successful move-
ment to prevent the youth of Can-
ada being huried into the coming
war.

UNITED FRONT WILL GIVE
NEW IMPETUS.

QUESTION—wW hat
bility of a Wnited Front with the
C.C.F.? And how will this unity
affect the conditions of the youth of
Canada?

ANSWER. — Possibilities for a
United Wront of working-class and
progressive forces are gradually but
steadily increasing. Despite the op-
position of the top leadership of the
C.C1"_ the rank and file membership
is beginning to realize more and
more clearly that the United Front
is our only hope. ;

is the possi-

It will not be easy and we may
not achieve unity this side of the
forthcoming federal elections, but a
United Front of all anti-fascist anti-
capitalist anti-war forces is on the
agenda of the Canadian movement
—and it will be achieved. The effect
of this upon the youth of Canada
cannot be exaggerated. The United
Front will not be merely the join-
in= of two or more organizations in
co-operative effort, it will produce
an entirely new situation in the gen-
eral anti-capitalist movement. It
will immediately liquidate the inter-
necine warfare which, at times, con-
sumes most of the enerey of sections
of the movement. It will inspire
thousands of workers and working
farmers with new hope and enthus-
iasm, It will liquidate the apathy
and passivity which now keeps thou-
sands of people out of the move-
ment and attract thousands of
others by its victories and its prom-
ise of victories to come. To the
youth, it will be a magnet. A prom-
ise of united struggle, and victory in
the fight for a new world.

YOUTH PRESSES FORWARD.

QUESTION.—Whhat can the youth
do to assist in building the United
Front?

ANSWER.—Youth can play a role
in the building of the United Front
that may be little short of decisive.
The United Front will not be built
merely as a result of appeals, but
as a result of joint struggles. A real
United Front will grow eventually
out of joint participation of members
of reformist organizations with
members of revolutionary organiza-
tions against our common enemy,
the boss. Workers who have fought
shoulder to shoulder on the picket
line, in the trek, in demonstrations,
ete., characteristics which differenti-
ate youth from old age is that youth
looks always ardently forward, while
old age tends to gaze yearningly
back. In the strugele for the United
Front this difference will be deci-
sive. Youth must look forward to
ultimate aims and ultimate values
and, with the forward-looking cour-
age that makes youth inyincible,
build a fighting United Front of the
youth NOW. That will be the best
assurance of a United Front of the
whole movement in the early future,
