Also, there is the yroblem of raising funds for the transportation of the Lefty fast to Ottawa, in April The pro- | ceeds of the performance on March ii, will be for this fund. In addition, several other drama- tie organizations in the city have come forward with offers of loyval- support for any campaicsn for funds for the trek to Ottawa.

Workers’ News reported that they had refused to give steam on Saturday and Sun- day to winch drivers until their grievances about food had been rectified. This vessel, carrying a crew of 28 at present, while during normal] times she carried a full crew of 40, has a long history of serving poor food. However, calling from port to port, particularly the American Pa- cific Coast ports, the crew soon learned how good conditions were obtained, The seamen’s union in Greece is well organized and has on several Occasions taken a definite stand against war and fascism. These sailors requested that mari- time organizations co-operate a little, more closely with the crews of vessels of Greek registry. Last month the crew of the SS. “Mount Pere” were assisted by the International Sailors Union in San Francisco in winning their strike. NO LOAN COUNCIL FOR MANITOBA WINNIPBG, Man., Jan. 29.—Dan- itoba will not participate in the Na- tional Loan Council, as the) province will not require for same time to come to do any large scale refund- ing of debts, according to Hon. A. EE. MacPherson, provincial treasurer. This brief announcement is inter- preted here as indicating that the ing cabinet is not findine it so easy as it anticipated to induce all the provinces to submit to federal schemes. The real reason for Man- itoha's declination is taken to be that for the time being the provincial treasury is in a position to refuse to be hog-tied to the federal treas- ury. As proposed to the federal-pro- vaneial conference of treasurers, the loan council scheme requires that once a province comes under the Scheme, it can not set out of it in any Way until all bonds under the Scheme haye been paid off. In these days, such a condition means per- manent financial bondage to the federal government for the partici- patine provinces. Temporarily, MacPherson, no mat- ter what public reason he has given, has escaped the ‘‘come into the par- lor” plan of Messrs. Dunning and Kang to rob the provinces of their little remaining autonomy in finan- cial matters. WINNIPEG, Feb. 20.— Greater Winnipeg Young Men's Liberal Club at its mock parliament this week turned thumbs down on rail- way amalgamation after a debate on the question before a mock par- liament sitting in their club rooms. The motion before the “house” was “That the GPR. and the C.N-R. be amalgamated under goy- ernment ownership.’ The vote of the audience was overwhelmingly against the motion. 0-6-8 on 80-6 eee eo oe gn oe an a ean ee nae eee Se a Ge a ee ee oe ee * IN EESUuUEe Eo eos ee BEBE BEB EERE EOE Ss Fellow Workers! aaa ee f ocean a ae | at eee ee eo eee Si Campaign In Prince Rupert PRINCE RUPERT, Feb. 21—The defence of the Regina trekkers is going on apace here. The delegate from the Vancouver Citizens’ De- fence Committee has held several meetings and is meeting with a food response, both in moral and financial support. At a special meeting of the Fish- packers’ Union (A.F.L.) the dele- gate spoke for over an hour to a deeply interested audience; with the result that the union’ voted to donate $20.00. A motion was also passed that a collection be taken up amongst the men on pay-day. He has also covered meetings of the Moose and the Trades and La- bor Council. Other trade unions and fraternal organizations are expected to be eontacted this week, and a broad defence committee will be built here soon. SOVIETS WARN AGAINST JAP PROVOCATIONS MOSCOW, Feb. 20.—(ALP)—‘'The U.S.S.R. does not submit to black- mail,’ declared Izvestia, the gov- ernment’S leading organ in a strongly worded editorial attack on the Japanese attitude and insist- ence that the commission to investi- gate border incidents in! the Far East should be extended to include defining of the Soviet-Manchukuoan boundary. In this Izvestia reflected the firm stand against such a provision tal en by B. S. Stomontakoff, Soviet Assistant Foreign Commissar, in his conversations with the Japanese Ambassador, Temekichi Ota. The soviet authorities repudiate entirely the Japanese contention “that the border incidents arise from unclear- ness of the boundary and that fur- ther incidents are inevitable until the boundary is made clearer. They accuse the IKewantune Army of de- liberately causing conflict on the border to force revision of the fron- tier. “The Japanese Government and the Japanese militarists well know that the border between the U.S. S-R. and Manchukuo is definitely and clearly established by treaties signed between Russia and Ching j and that an exchange of maps fix- ing the border line exactly was in- eluded with the treaties,” says Izvestia. “One must be quite shame- less and ignorant to begin talking suddenly about the lack of a fixed border line.” izvestia further observes that there never had -been-aany doubt about the border incidénts until the Japanese troops arrived in Man- ehuria. The treaties referred to by Izves- tia were those of Peiping and Mukden signed in 1924 by the So- viet Union and China. In the pres- ent negotiations the Japanese are taking the position that these treaties provided for revision of the frontier if this was found necessary. The Soviet Union entirely rejects this argument.

The elections are continuing the democratic revolution of sixteen months after the October armed battles in an atmosphere of civil War and the volcanic rise of the broadest anti-fascist people’s move- ment. “Two blocs, two camps really op- posed each other at the elections,’ writes Prayda, “the anti-fascist people’s front an@ the counter- revolutionary bloc. It can be as- serted that the people's front, with very few exceptions, everywhere ‘united and unites all anti-fascist or- ganizations, parties, groups. On the other hand, all parties and groupings representing the interests of the bourgeoisie, the land-owning counter-revolutionaries formed themselves into a bloc, with the Portella-Valladares reeime pro- claiming its neutrality toward the belligerent sides, but openly sup- porting the counter-revolutionary bloc. Unity Brought Lriumph “The People’s Front triumphed primarily because the toiling masses during the last two years were con- winced by experience what Fascism and counter-reyolution mean. The People’s Front triumphed because the united front of action between the Communist and Socialist Par- ties was established on the eve of the elections. The unity of action gave the election campaign a co: lossal scope and consciousness of purpose. This ensured the transi- tion of the broad masses of petty- bourgeois to the side of the people’s front. “The victory of the People’s Front is having enormous significance not only in Spain but throughout the entire international labor move- ment. It does not end the struggle. It marks the beginning of the of- fensive of the Spanish proletariat against the forces of fascism and reaction. “The Spanish Communists wun- derstand the enemy is not yet de- feated, although he has received a Strong blow. In order finally to defeat fascism it is necessary, as the Communists demand, primarily and immediately to carry out in practice the program of the peo- ple’s front; that is, to compel com- plete amnesty of all imprisoned revolutionaries; expropriate the i =>) Phone Sey. 9501 New York Wave Shop Permanent Wave Specialist lowest Prices on all Permanents 581 GRANVILLE ST.

McKay of North Vancouver, sentenced as a result of the Ballan- tyne Pier riots last year, called at the District Office, C.L.D.L., to as- certain why he had been released. He stated that he had told the warden he didn’t want a parole ahead of the other 15 in jail, but the warden told him he couldn’t help it. He had orders to release McKay and therefore KcKay had to go. This may be the starting point for the release of the remaining: 15 waterfront strikers serving- sen- tences ranging from six months to one year. PORT ARTHUR, Ont., Feb. 13.— (ALFE)—Having received an affirma- tive reply from the United Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners of America to their application for affiliation, the Lumber Workers’ In- dustrial Union here is preparing for @& union conference on March 21, where the question of unity will again be thoroughly reyiewed. After the union conference a mass conference of all workers in the trade will be held to discuss the decisions of the union meeting, after which the matter will be taken up again among wide sec- tions of the workers preparatory to a referendum vote. PORT ARTHUR, Ont., Feb. 22 — (ALP)—Port Arthur’s new system of cash relief is to go into effect next week. Under the by-law all unemployed on relief are required to register on oath. landed aristocracy; guarantee the reinstatement of tens of thousands of discharged workers after the Oc- tober battles; increase the wages of industrial and agricultural workers; carry into life the remaining meas- “ures contained in the program of the People’s Front. “The Spanish Communists Know they must not expect the carrying out of this modest pro- gram only by a left sovernment which will probably be formed in the near future. The task mainly consists in every possible way to unfold the activity of the toiling masses in the villages and cities to carry out the program of the peo- ple’s front, not confining themselves to this program, but to complete the democratic revolution and de- veloping and organizing primarily the fight of the peasants for land. “The guarantee of the realization of thes aims, the further consoli- dation of the united action of So- cialists and Communists, the com- plete realization of trade union unity, expansion and consolidation of the network of workers-peasants? also alliances, and resolute work toward the creation of a sinele proletarian revolutionary party are necessary. ‘ 4 B.C.
