NEW METHOD SHO 337 CARRALL STREET ATRONIZE OUR ADVERTIS ERS! LEFTISTS ROUT REACTIONARIES MADRID, Spain, April 21.—{A LP) —Scores of reactionary politicians and fascist newspaper operators were arrested today at Arizone, Oviedo. and other Austrian towns, as well as at Allicante, Grenada and elsewhere in the South, while addi- tional hundreds fled the country when the Left Cortes tightened its grip on the fascist provocators of recent disorders. Since last Friday, when the Popu- lar Front forced dissoiution of the Fascists by calling a revolutionary strike in Madrid, the exodus of re- actionaries, which began imme- diately after the Left election vic- tory in February, but halted for a time when Fascists created disorders in the hope of seizing control of the country, has been renewed on wu larger scale. The official Communist organ in Madrid tonight demanded dissolu- tion of the Catholic Popular Action- ist fascist party and arrest of Jose Maria Gil Robles, its leader, charg- ine that it is “just as subversive” as the group led by young Primo de Rivera, who is in jail alone with many of his followers. The news- Paper asserted that “something must be done at once about the hunger and misery of the proletariat in the cities and the country. Banks and landowners have the money we need.” With the fascist Popular Action- ists recosnizing the futility in pre- Senting a candidate in democratic election at the Coming presidential election, the Popular Front appears to have a free hand to install its candidates, who are not yet chosen. The election, which is set for May 10, therefore, is destined to be an- other people’s victory. Starve Or Go To Prison Camp Boys, Refused Re- lief, Sentenced to Jail VANCOUVER, April 21. — The wheels of “Justice’’ still continue to srind to the tune of the exploiters. Today Magistrate Mathieson sen- tenced ten rejected camp boys to 20 days’ imprisonment, making a total of 50 sentenced by the same magistrate to a similar term, since Friday. Recently the Dominion Govern- ment decided to close the ‘relief camps, and on the 26th of Feb- ruary ruled that no more men would be taken into the camps from then on. Not aware of this ruling many of the boys. as they had been wont to do in the past, left the camps on the prospect of getting work on Fr Some project goine at the time. The unsuccessful ones applied for re- admission to the camps. only to learn of the new order. They found also. not only were they rejected by the camps, but were also refused re- lief by the municipal and provincial Sovernments. They were nobody’s baby. Twenty-OQne Days! Finally, through dire necessity, they were forced to be= on the streets. Armed with collection cans they appealed to the citizens of Wancouver for a few pennies. Fifty-six were arrested on the trumped-up charge of obstructing police. WPorty-seven were sentenced to 21 days each. Before passing sentence the mag- istrate informed the boys that he would release them on suspended sentence if they would promise not to go tagging again. The boys ask- ed assurance that they would be ad- mitted on the relief roles, or that they would be able to get an oc- easional meal somewhere. It is noticeable that the arrest of the boys coincided with the return from Ottawa of Mayor McGeer. SOVIET WORKERS HONOR THAELMANN MOSCOW, April 17.—(By cable to Associated Labor Press) — Through- out the whole of the Soviet Union yesterday, workers celebrated the fiftieth birthday of Ermest Thael- mann.

HITLER SUES AMSTERDAM, Holland, April 18. — (ALP)— Legal action has been brought against the manazine= edi- tor of the chief organ of the Neth- erlands Labor Party, because of a recent Caricature alleged to be in- sulting to Adolf Hitler. The proceedings are said to have been instituted after a complaint had been filed with the government by the German -enyoy at The Hague. BRITISH RELIEF RATIONS DEADLY LONDON, Eng., April 20.—(ALP) —Rats fed on a diet such as was commonly eaten by the poorer elasses in England, consisting of white bread, margarine, over-weet- ened tea with a little milk. boiled cabbage and potatoes, tinned meat and tinned jam of the cheaper sort, lived unhappily together, did not in- crease in weight and became stunted and badly proportioned with poor coats. They were also nervous and began to bite the attendants. By the sixtieth day of the experiment they began to kill and eat the weak- er ones amons them. Such was the result of an experi- ment deseribed by Major Gen. Sir Robert McCarrison on nutrition and national health, which he delivered before the Royal Society of Arts. Another group of rats, fed on Sood stock diet, consisting of cereal rains, milk, milk products, vere- tables and fruits, with eg= or meat occasionally lived happily together, increased in weight and flourished. When the survivors of both fSroups were killed and subjected to careful post-mortem examination, it was found that disease of the lungs was twice as common in the poorly fed group, and that gastric-in- testinal disease was very frequent, while the group receiving the good diet was free from it. It was not unreasonable to expect. concluded Sir Robert, that, other things being equal, similar results woud arise in man from the use of these diets.

Having had the pleasure of listen- ing to the debate staged at Norquay Hall on Sunday afternoon, I thought a short account might not be amiss. Gob Lealess took the affirmative, “That we, the working class, should support the imposition of sanctions against Italy, in the aggressive war against Ethopia,”’ the negative being taken by Don Smith. Don Smith took the viewpoint that it was wrong for the Communist Party to approve of sanctions, in that collaborating with the capitalist powers would weaken the faith of the international Working class in the U.S.S.R. as giving the correct lead to the proletariat of the world. Bob Lealess asserted that when Litvinoff, representing the U-S.S.R., supported the application of sanc- tions. it was a blow at war and Pascism, and in line with the policy of the U.S.S-R. to preserve peace. Both debaters displayed a very friendly and sporting attitude, and it Was very gratifying to those of us who are striving for unity of the common people, to hear representa- tives of the two major working class parties on the same platform, sponsored by a joint committee, and showings harmony and good fellow- ship. Comrade Braithwaite, of the C.C. EF conference on unemployment, Save a short talk on the activities of the Conference. This comrade is a very zf00d worker, and deserves eredit for his indefatigable efforts along the lines of organization. Next Sunday, April 26th, Harold Winch, C.C.F. M.U-A., will be the Speaker, and on the following Sun- day Rev. Mr. Baker, also a C.C.F. M,.L.A.. will speak. These meetings should be sup- ported, as we are being given the opportunity of listening to the cream of our working class speak- ers, and the efforts of the committee in furthering these very educational meetings Should be appreciated. —Carlton C.C.F. appealed for assistance from the af- filiated unions to reorganize the maritime industry of B.C. into the A.F.of ., and for funds to send a delegate to the I.L.A. Convention in May, The delegation explained that the International Longshore- men’s Assn. executive was recom- mending to the Convention that charters be issued the B.C. Jocals immediately, and it was advisable to send a delegate to press the claim. The council, though promising to extend all assistance to the water- front workers, was financially un- able to help, but passed the appeal on to the affiliated locals.

Moose Hall was jammed to the doors and listeners filled the aisles and climbed the window sills to hear the speaker. “When the Communist, C.G.E. member, the good Catholic friend of Father Coughlin, the Liberal or the Tory stand side by side in the trenches,” he said, “the bullets will show no one of them a preference.’ “Bullets,’’ he declared, “‘are pain- fully impartial.’ All enemies of the warlike aims of the Fascists and capitalists should unite against war, Carr held, attacking recent charges that the Communists are insincere in their overtures for a united front. “We do not like to refer to our record,’’ he asserted, “and it is suf- ficient to say that actions speak louder than words. Communists have risked and given their lives for the working class.’ The speaker analysed the move of Hitler into the Rhineland, and he declared that the Nazis real attack is against the Soviet Union, not France. Fascists, he said, are in command at every focal point of war: Italy in Ethiopia. Japan in the far east, and the Nazis on the east and west borders of Germany. Fascism, there- fore, is hastenine the proof of the jong-standine Communist claims that “Fascism means war’ and plans to plunge the world into a Sea of blood. NEW WESTMINSTER, Cr April 20.—The New Westminster city council last Friday instructed the city clerk to ascertain costs of having the policing of New West- minster turmed over to the Provin- Cial Police.
