SOVIET YOUTH LOOKS AT LIFE Wo Soviet Youth ever needs to ask: “Gon I make a living?” He asks in- stead: “What specialty and in what locality do I choose to make a liv- ing?’ Nor does he ask: “Can I hope to marry?” or “Can I have a good time?” He asks rather: “What kina of a good time most suits my desire? ment, Arctic exploration, or for what combination of these?” Into his guestions of marriage, similarly. there enters muny problems of suita— bility, age, tastes, but few economic problems. In all these choices of life, the road lies open; the choice is free. These opportunities are not con- ditioned, as they have been in all past capitalist expansion, by the pri- vate ownership of productive means, which inevitably checked and thwar- ted or distorted the creative ener- sies of youth. . . All new, undevel- oped lands have called themselves “Jands of opportunity.” But the op- portunities have been limited—doled out by those who owned the means of production. In the Soviet land, where all own the means of produc- {ion jointly, opportunities become limited only by the sum total of na- tural resources and the sum total of the creative power of man. In the capitalist world there is no connection between school and life. The boy or girl finishes a certain number of isolated “‘subjects’”; then he is out in the world, “through with study.’ ‘The youth does not even know clearly what he wants to do. except that he wants to “get ahead.”" We has been trained that way, in order that he may seek any job the capitalist world offers, and be ready to fit himself to any employer he finds: Youth Carve Own Destiny The Soviet youth does not expect to fit himself to a boss. He expects to join with comrades in buildings a world. We intends to build it, not by the desires of others, but to “‘re- mold it nearer to his heart's desire.” His heart’s desire may be art, or music, or geology, or engineering; he intends to shoye the world a bit further in the direction that he himself has chosen. Happy are the children born today in the Soviet Union, and the youth today growing up. Wor all their con- structive talents, for all their useful aspirations, for all their normal de- sires of comradeship and culture, the road lies open. It is not always an easy road; it is a road still demand- ine Choice, effort. struggle. But it is blocked by none of those contra- dictions which are the lot of youth in the capitalist world.

When the Bennett sovernment came to office, the crisis was com- meéncinge and his chief task was to maintain the level of profits. The first year of the Bennett re- gime saw wages cut half a million dollars. Five hundred thousand workers were thrown on the street. Farmers lost out by one hundred million dollars. Teachers, fovern- ment employees and office workers were savagely cut. Gennett Hands Out Advice. I3y 1933 over one million workers were jobless. This was when Ben- nett said, “The Canadian people need the discipline which the depression is boinging: them.” Again in Octo- ber, 1933, he said, “There is plenty of work to be done, but they (the unemployed) don’t want to do it.’’ In February, 1934, he said, “The gov- ernment offers nothing but thrift and hard work.” and again in Van- couver, “the government will not « a wet nurse to every derelict.” Here again, as with the King gov- ernment, profits for the capitalists soared. Dividends alone in 1934 amounted to 350 million dollars, an 2 increase of $200,000 as compared with 1933+ It is estimated that Ben- nett himself increased his fortune by $14,000,000 during the past five years. Regina, Estevan the Biggest Blots. The Bennett regime has been one of more and more ruthless oppres- Sion.

BLASTING BENNETT SEC. 98 CHAMPION Financiers Composed Liberal Government. The first government of Mackenzie King consisted exclusively of big capitalists, Seven corporation Jaw- yers, Sirs Lomar Gouin, K.CM-.G., minister of justice; director of the Bank of Montreal and Cockshuit plow; Hon. Raoul Dandurand of the Montreal Bank, Montreal Cottons iLtd., Sun. Life Insurance Co. and Dominion Steel. The Liberal party received $750,- 000 from the Beauharnois Co. for the 1930 Election Campaign. In 1924 the Kine government re- fused to grant one cent for unem- ployed relief. Thesmunicipalities and provinces doled out inadequate re- lief after hard fought struggles ly the unemployed, but the King goy- ernment refused to contribute a nickie. Slashed the wages postal employees in 1924. Wages Down—Profits Up. When the Liberal government came to office in 1921 the average wage in industries was $1002. During fiye years out of the nine in office. this wage dropped considerably. During the whole period from 1921 to 1930 there was never less than 250,000 unpemploved and nearly one million workers received part time employment even in the best years of Wine’s regime. The other side of the picture is quite different. Whilst wages were continually lowering, industrial prof- fits increased from 800 million dol- lars in 1921 to i billion 200 million in 1930. Just when the postal employees’ wages were eut, three quarters of a billion dollars were paid out of the Federal treasury as interest on debt to the bie financiers. Qn the ques- tion of the national debt, between 1918 and now, the interest payments on the debt amount to far more than the total debt itself—a profitable scheme for the finance kings. A Government of Terror. The Wing government, by an order-in-council, called out the troops to crush the miners’ strike in Wova Seotia in 1925. Five thousands soldiers were ship- ped by the King government to de- fend the interests of the British Empire Steel Corporation against the workers who demanded decent wages. William Davis was shot down cold blood in New Waterford L925; Spokesmen of the Kang govern- ment told the postal employees that they could stay out ‘until hell freezes over” unless they accepted the wage cut. “Physician’s Healing Hand/’ All these facts show the hypocrisy of King at the Vancouver Arena, who declared against the “iron heel policy of Bennett.” Today the Liberal Party provincial gsevernments are carrying on the traditions of the King regime. In Quebee the issuance of leaflets and ealling of meetings have been under control of the chiefs of police. In B.C. the terror supervised by Pat- tullo is too well Known.

And could’ add a few to them, as in my opinion you are quite moderate. I may add that as a Communist I have ever since the end of the last World War advocated better treat- ment for the real ex-servicemen, and never lost an opportunity to assist in so far as lay within my province.

These promises would be brok- en as were the promises made to the soldiers who participated in the world war. “Moreover. practically all Jines are needed in this country to serve the people who have settled along them, and if any should not be pro- fitable, the deficits could be met by declaring a moratorium on interest payment on the national debt and taxation of the rich. “J therefore, whether elected to the House of Commons or not, will oppose any and all moves toward amalgamation of the railways and their subsidiary services.”’ Soviet Trade Friends of the Soviet Union, Vancouver, B.C. “J have your letter of Sept. 28rd, in which you request me to acquaint you with my attitude toward the es- tablishine of trade relations betwen Canada and the Soviet Union. “As you are aware, the rupture of the once existing trade relations with the Soviet Union was made by the ing Liberal government. This rup- ture was carried further by the Ben- nett government when they placed an embargo on all Soviet products. “TY may assure you that I have al- ways fought for the establishment of full trading and diplomatic relations between Canada and the Soviet Union. Such trading relations would be of inestimable benefit to the work- ers and farmers of Canada inasmuch as the Sovict Union is in the market for many of the products that are produced in Canada, and its pur- chase of them in this country would provide much badly needed employ- ment here. “T can further assure you that as I have fought for the establishment of such trading relations in the past, I will continue to do so if elected to the House of Commons in the com- ing federal elections.” Bruce went to the peniten- tiary for Labor’s cause—send him to Parliament! “Mile of Nickles’?
