LITVINOV versus MUSSOLINI Workers
With the U.S.S.R. in the person of Maxim
Litvinov stiffening the back of the League
of Nations to withstand the threats of Mus-
solini, Italian imperialism has been held in
leash and prevented from attacking Ethiopia
whose people declare that they will fight to
the death rather than submit to invasion.
Silencing those who would have the
League follow its previous procedure when
it permitted, without interference, the
invasion of Manchuria by Japanese imperial-
ism, Maxim Litvinov clearly showed that
this made for impotency on the part of the
League and must be avoided in the
case of Italy, if the peace of the world is to
be maintained. The smaller nations are rally-
ing around the stand of the U.S.S.R.

Mussolini, raging at his thwarted plans,
turns on the British diplomats with the fol-
lowing, which was published in the world’s
press: “But we find to be monstrous today
this nation (Britain) which refuses to us
this poor parcel of land in the African sun.”

In the above statement is seen the braz-
enly understood position between Britain and
Italy, as that of “giving” or “refusing” the
independent kingdom of Ethiopia which ap-
parently has no say in the matter.

Undoubtedly, re-division of the markets of
the world is the keynote of world imperial-
ism. Col. House, a leading militarist in the
U.S.A., writing in “Liberty” advocates the
following policy for Japan in this extract:
“There are still vast waste tracts of land
throughout the world. Why not let Japan
make them productive?” This open advocacy
of plunder has been followed out in Manchu-
ria which has nothing in common with
“waste lands.”

At the present time, imperialist antagon-
isms are having the effect of putting an ob-
stacle in the way of Mussolini’s war plans.
Notwithstanding Litvinov’s honest and fear-
less efforts to make the League a weapon for
peace, no one seriously accepts Britain’s sud-
den affection for the League Covenant ex-
cept as a sign that Mussolini’s attack on
Ethiopia so endangers her own position and
interests in the Mediterranean and Egypt—
not to mention Britain’s designs upon Ethi-
opia itself—that every trick will be played
to keep Mussolini satisfied with economic
concessions.

THE ABERHART ROAD

The fallacy of giving demagogues a
“chance” is being exposed by the actions of
Aberhart,* premier of Alberta. This charla-
tan, shamelessly taking advantage of the
disillusionment and despair of the people of
Alberta, made extravagant promises to them
in order to gain office. And now he is re-
vealing himself as the ready and willing tool
of the bankers and other exploiters and op-
pressors of the people.

He is also in the Bennett-Stevens scheme
to bring about national government. After
making a pilgrimage to Ottawa and to the
shrine of the bankers in Hastern Canada he
was handed $2,500,000 to enable him to carry
on his servile government providing he keeps
a Social Credit candidate out of the Calgary
West contest in order that Bennett may have
a better chance to win the seat. Stevens will
not have a candidate against Bennett either,
while Bennett will not oppose Stevens in
Kootenay Hast.

The calibre of Aberhart, and his tendency
as well, is seen by his visit to Detroit to
commune with the leading American fascist,
Father Coughlin, whom he admiringly called
a genius. Had not the Louisiana “kine fish
been bumped off, no doubt Aberhart would
have gone to him also for wisdom and in-
spiration.

The business of the people of Alberta is to
form a united front to compel Aberhart to
make good on his promises, to demand food
and clothing and shelter, immunity from
foreclosures and evictions, a moratorium on
debts, that paying interest to the bond-
holders cease, and that work with decent
wages be provided out of funds secured by
taxing the rich.

FEDERATION FUNDS
The “probe” into the waterfront dispute
being conducted in Vancouver by a commis- |
sioner appointed by the Federal Government
has already shown a tendency to shield the
Shipping Federation.

The “Sun,” :
from the Liberal-Beauharnois slush fund, is
reckless in its statements.
“the finest home in Moscow is barbaric and
erude beside the meanest home in Vancou-
What about the fine, palatial homes
once occupied by the nobles and the Bennetts
and Holts of Russia? What about then tens
of thousands of huge apartment buildings,
of the latest design and most modern sani-
tary equipment that have been erected in
the Soviet Union in recent years ?

And then, Mr. Kept Scribbler of a venal
capitalist sheet, take a walk around Van-
couver and view the bedbug-infested ram-
shackle joints and shacks where the workers
are forced to live while the useless parasites
who buy your mediocre talents as they buy
the bodies of strumpets, live in palatial
in Shaughnessy Heights,
homes, and disport themselves in palatial
hotels and other houses of assignation.

If the writer of the ‘‘Sun” editorial will
recall the writings and speeches of the pub-
lisher of the “Sun,” wherein Mr. Crombie,
upon his return from the Soviet Union, spoke
highly of the developments there and of the

closed was denied by the Commissioner.

sire nor need to hide the source of their
financial support. But not so the Shipping

Innis and their labor-hating, union-smashing

The representatives of the waterfront
workers must insist that the sources of all
these huge sums which are being lavishly
spent to smash trade unionism on this coast
be revealed to the public.

THE BENNETI-STEVENS SCHEME

Feeling himself and his corrupt party slid-
ing down the political skids, R. B. Bennett,
the most discredited politician Canada has
ever been cursed with, is now manoeuvering
for a national government so that he will
have a place in it and, if he, Stevens and the
bankers can work it, will again place him in
the Prime Minister’s chair.

He is “laying off’ Stevens and King ex-
cept for the usual polite inanities which are
the stock-in-trade of bourgeois politicians
with an itch for the power and emoluments
of office. It is his hope that out of the con-
fusion created by him and his kind he will—
for the “national good’, of course—be able to
gather the reactionaries from the other par-
ties into a coalition government in which op-
positional criticism would be reduced to a
minimum, and the obstacles to the introduc-
tion of fascism would be largely removed.

This makes it imperative that the utmost
effort be exerted to elect as many ©.C.F.
Labor, and Communist candidates as possible
to the Federal House, providing they are
pledged to further the extension of the anti-
capitalist front, to fight for the immediate
needs of the people, against fascism and war,
and can be depended upon on the basis of
their records to redeem those pledges if

In a vicious and slanderous editorial the
“Sun” newspaper attributes to the C.C.F.
and the Communists the theory that things
“can’t be worse,’ and then proceeds to show
that things can be worse. But the “worse”
that the “Sun” visualizes is conditions such
are to be found in the U.S.S.R. and in Ger-
many, thus dishonestly bracketting two ex-
treme opposites, the fascist dictatorship of
the exploiting minority over the useful ma-
jority with the proletarian dictatorship of
the useful majority over the former exploit-

This Is Absolutely Impossible
Under The Capitalist Regime

The following article is especially
opportune in view of the Federal
election in Canada when all of the
eapitalist parties are coming for-
ward with their plans for bring-
ing Canada out of the crisis dur-
ing the next five years.

There is not one of them can
tell us what Vancouver, Toronto,
Montreal or Winnipeg or any otber
city will be like in ten years. Un-
der capitalisni these cities will be
yery little different, except there
will be more poverty.

The improvement of Moscow
shows what can be done when
capitalism is no more.

Readers will realize that only
under a Soviet Government, where
the workers and farmers are in
control, and where the Commu-

the socialization of human en-
deayor, can such planning be made
possible of accomplishment. The
article is composed of excerpts
taken from “The general plan for
reconstruction of the City of Mos-
cow,” Im a decree issued-by the
People’s Commissars of the U-S.
S.R. and the Gentral Committee of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union. :

PLANNING OF THE CITY

ness in carrying out organizational
work for the betterment of condi.
tions throughout the mining camps,
both coal and metal. This has re-

Sulted in these workers looking to
the AI-W.U. of GC. for suidance and
a lead.

Tom Hwen Calls for Unity
The real Keynote of the conven-
tion was struck in the speech of

Tom Ewen, National Secretary of
the Workers’ Unity League, to

which the ALW.U. of C. is affiliated.
In his speech, he gave the lead for
the building of real unity among all
miners in Western Canada. He said
that when the miners come together
they are very often too much con-
cerned with the machinery of or-
fanization and what they will call
their organization, losing sight of
the factors which tend to build unity
amone the rank and file of the dif-
ferent unions and unorganized wwor-
ers, thus helping each other in
struggles for better working and liv-
ing conditions. :

To Unite the Miners of Ganada

But, he said, despite the disrup-
tie tactics Sometimes used by the
officials of some unions to offset
the growing desire among the rank
and file members for such unity, it
has been achieved in a number of
localities. He cited as an example
the struggle in Nova Scotia, where
the miners in the U.M.W. of A. re-
fused to so down the mine unless
miners belonging to the A.M.S. were
allowed down. He pointed out that
these were the real factors which
Jed to unity, and if broadened out
will lead to organizational unity in a
Western Federation of the miners
of Alberta and British Columbia
and eventually a federation for the
whole of Canada from east to west,
from Nova Scotia to Wancouver
Island.

Beauty of Socialism

The Council of the People’s Com-
missars and the C.C. of the Com-
munist Party of the Soviet Union
are convinced that the Moscow Bol-
sheiks, Soviet organizations, engi-
neers, architects, and workers who
have shown not a few examples of
the high quality of work they can do
will carry out this plan with honour
that will reflect the magnificence
and beauty of the Socialist Epoch.

The Famous Five Points

The following are the main points of the minimum program of im-
mediate needs of the toiling people as advocated by the Communist
Election Committees and upon which unity is being striven for between
the C-C_ FE. and Communist candidates. These are something the workers
really want and something to fight for.

Workers should clip them out

Call for Election of
Bruce

VANCOUVER, Sept. 78.— Corres-
pondence relating to election unity,
between Angus McInnis, C.C.F. can-
didate in Vancouver East, and the
Communist Election Committee of
that riding, also a letter from the
C.C.F. Election Committee in Van-
eouver East to the Communist Blec-
tion Committee, was brought in to
the office of the “B. ©. Workers’
Wews” today.

The tone
Committee
and conciliatory
by MelInnis.

The gist of the Election Commit-
tee letter which expressed regrets
that they could see no useful pur-
pose in further discussions, was that
they were bound by their executive
committee who had ruled against the
acceptance of proposals from other
bodies.

Nothing Doing, Says Mcinnes.

McInnis, in his letter, maintains
his implacable attitude towards
unity in the elections. He went the
limit when he wrote’ united action
on any basis is impossible.’ Continu-
ing, he wrote, “the C.C_F. was or
fanized for the purpose of uniting
all members of the working class
who believe in the building of a new
social order.’’

Undoubtedly the C.P. want a new
social order, but the method cf
achieving that end upon which the

gests.

MeInnis would have the C.P. com-
mit political suicide-

The tactic of the united front
where such fundamental differences
exist, is the practical way out, and
which would be of inestimable value
to the common people.

The latter part of the letter ac-
cused the C.P, of vilifying the C.C.F.

ieee its leaders, and the closing

sentence reads: “‘Because ofthis, it
is not surprising that proposals now
for a united front should be viewed
With suspicion.’’

The careful, concrete and friendly
efiticism whueh has been a feature
of the attitude of the C.P. towards
the C.C.F. over a protracted period
is evidently ignored by McInnis.

Conimunists Point to Danger.

The Communist Election Commit-
tee for Vancouver Bast have issued
an “open letter’ to the membership
of the €.C.F.

The letter outlines the struggle
carried on by the CP. over a lengthy
period for unity and the continuous
refusals met with,

The chief value to the member-
ship of the €.C.F. in the letter is
the serious warning tothose who re-
ject united front. It reads:

“Should any of the capitalist
parties succeed in getting into power

Breater poverty and ruin will face
millions if our ranks are to remain
divided. In the past period we Com-

munists have been fighting shoulder
to shoulder with €.C.F. and other
workers in defense of the common
interestS of our class. This fight
must go on during the elections.

“The responsibility in carrying the
fight for unity is yours as well as
ours. It may be too late to discuss
unity behind the barbed wires in a
eoncentrated camp or in the front
line trenches. To avoid such a sit-
uation tomorrow, we must unite to-
day. Unfortunately, hostile forces
in the C.C.F. refused our genuine
and sincere proposals for unity. The
situation can be remedied by giving
all support to the campaign of the
only unity candidate in the field—
Malcolm Bruce.
