Vancouver, B.G., May 29, 1936

“COMMONWEALTH” AND
BOSS LOGGERS

T THE very time when more than a thou-

sand lumber workers were on strike, when
the B.C. Loggers’ Association, the fascist Citi-
zens’ League and their hireling, Tom MacInnes,
were conducting a vicious anti-labor campaign im
the press and over the air, the local reformist
paper, the Commonwealth, which has been ac-
cepted by the Right Wing jeaders of the C-C.F.
as the semi-official organ of their party, printed
a full-page advertisement of the boss B.C. Log-
gers Association.

The advertisement extolled the virtues ot the
timber bosses as the builders and the mainstay
of Vancouver. It boasted that scabs were work-
ing, in the following words :

“The ring of the faller’s axe and bucker’s
saw echoes in the forests of British Columbia
_.. heralding a greater industry and a greater
Vancouver.”

Thus the Commonwealth broadcasts seabbery
as “building a greater industry.” The inference
jn this propaganda is that the union workers by
going on strike are interfering with rising pros-
perity. This is the line of Tom MaciInnes in his
rantings over the air. j

The printing of such stuff, and accepting the
blood money of the boss loggers for it, is an act
of treason and a betrayal of the working class.
And no profession of desiring a “co-operative
commonwealth” can wipe out the stain.

‘Tn the same issue in which the full-page boost
for the scab-herding bosses appeared, there was
not a single word about the strike beimg conducted
by the workers in the lumber industry.

One can not avoid the conclusion that for the
money the Commonwealth received from the
lumber barons the latter stipulated that im ad-
dition to printing their material, the Common-
wealth must suppress all mention of news of
the strike.

Thus do the owners of the Commonwealth
stand still while the capitalists put the muzzle
on them while they hold out their hands for the
thirty pieces of silver.

How long are the members nad supporters o£
the C.C.F. going to stand for such betrayals?
How far is this class-collaboration with the worst
haters and exploiters of the working class going
to be permitted to go ?

That a policy and practice of compromise and
collaboration with exploiters of labor, while ob-
stinately opposing the united front of all oppo-
nents of capitalist exploitation, inevitably leads
to the position the Commonwealth now occupies
has been established by history and experience.

The G.C.F. members and supporters must de-
mand a complete break with such reformist poli-
cies and insist upon a different united front,

the one that the Communists propose, to-wit: an
all-embracine united front of class strugele
against the entire capitalist class.

MAINTAINING THE PEOPLE’S FRONT

if IS generally conceded that the victory of the
People’s Front in the recently held French
elections was 2 blow at reaction. The mobiliza-
tion and organization of all anti-fascist forees
into such a powerful united front was initiated
by the Communist Party and fought for against
almost insurmountable obsctales.

The Communists do not, however, leave every-
thing to a People’s Front government. Leaders
of the great People’s Front throughout France,
they are determined to not only preserve but to
strengthen it as an indispensible backing for the
new government, for without such mass backing
the government would find jtself powerless.

The mass United Front will also be necessary
to see to it that the government ministers do that
for which they were elected, viz: to proceed to a
speedy realization of the immediate program of
the People’s Front.

The Communist Party and the Communist
deputies will give full support to the new gov-
ermmment in all efforts to realize the jmmediate
program upon which all participants in the
People’s Front were elected, such as disarming’
the fascist bands, restoring wage cuts, demo-

cratization of the army, relieving the burdens
of the poor, saferuarding the Franeo-Seviet pact
and curbing the powers and exploiting privileges
of the 200 families which have such a strangle-
hold on the country.

Already premier-designate Blum, Socialist,
is showing sins of reverting to his former posi-
ton. He is talking of placing full faith im the
Leasue of Nations alone for the preservation of
peace, without the united power of labor as the
surest and most powerful opponent of war-

The Communist Party. while giving its full
support to Blum for the realization of the pro-
eram, will not permit the weakening ot the Peo-
ple’s Front, nor will it tolerate a government of
the character of a Kerensky or a Ramsay Mac
Donald government.

That is why the People’s Front will be main-
tained—as a powerful force that will regard the
Blum government as its instrument for earrying
out its program. and preventing any backsliding
and political self-seekine. The Communist Par-
ty, as the organizer and leader of the People’s
Front, realizes its great historical responsibility
to it, and will exercise revolutionary vigilance
over the government in the interest of the people
ot France.

INSULTING, BUT APPROPRIATE

ERRY McGEER and his Jubilee Commit-

tee are rubbing it in. After deciding to waste
some $30,000 on a fountain to spout water in the
middle of a lake, and imposing a tax upon people
for entering parts of Stanley Park, they now
insult the people by bringing R. B. Bennett here
to officially 6pen the jubilee celebration.

No man in Canada is more loathed or held in
ereater detestation by the workers of Vancouver
and of all Canada than R. B. Bennett. He is
the man who first used Section 98 against the
workers, the man who instituted the military
controlled slave camps for the youth of the coun-
try and who, when they were going to Ottawa
to lay their case before him, was responsible for
the unprovoked attack of the police on them in
Regina.

The people of Canada kicked the old reaction-
ary out of office at the first opportunity. And

yet he is being brought here in an effort to | Arab discontent

“honor” him.

Or perhaps we have it wrong; it may be that
the promoters of the jubilee realized that he is
about the most fitting one to officially open their
colossal skin-came. :

EXIT JIMMY THOMAS
NOTHER labor misleader steps into the po-
litical shadows with the resignation of
Jimmy Thomas from the Tory government of
Baldwin.

The capitalist press is reluctant about ad-
mitting that Thomas used his knowledge of the
nature of the budget that was to be brought
down by Chamberlain, to feather his own nest
and line the pockets of his bourgeois cronies.

Thomas started out in life as‘a worker. His
fellow workers trusted him and elevated him to
the highest position in the Railwaymen’s Union.
They also elected him to parliament. He used
both positions for his own enrichment. Long a
betrayer of the members of his union and the
working class, he reached the lowest depth of
treason in his sell-out of the General Strike of
1926. ;

A minister in the Labor government, he de-
serted and went over to the enemies of labor and
into the imperialist government of Baldwin.
For this he was kicked out of his position as
head of the union.

Always an advocate of labor-employer co-
operation and an opponent of class struggle, he
hated Communists as much as he loved the work
ers’ enemies. An enemy of the united front with
revolutionary workers, he had no conipunction
in making a united front with Baldwin and Sir
Alfred Mond.

A syeophantic social climber and place-seeker,
4 jester and clown at bourgeois social gatherings,
yain and vainglorious and as cowardly and
treacherous to the workers as he was corrupt and
erovelling to the parasites whom he looked up
to as ‘superiors,’ he now slinks off the political
stave with bowed head, not bowed because of the
contempt in which betrayed workers hold him,
but because he has lost easte with those in whose
eompany he revelled.

Tt is related that Benedict Arnold, the
American revolutionary general who committed
the treason of selling army secrets to the British,
during the last years of his life in London, ostra-
cised and remorseful, used to don his old revolu-
tionary uniform when alone, and muse on the
glory that might have been his.

Will Thomas, in the gathering shadows, ever
don his old overalls? They are a far higher
badee of honor than the silk stockings and knee
breeches he later donned. We think he wall not.
Benedict Axvnold committed treason only once
and alwavs regretted it; Thomas was a traitor
all his life and was proud of it.

The World
This Week

By F. B.

The disturbances in Palestine are
assuming greater proportions, small
seale battles being waged betweeu
the Arabs and British soldiers, and
in order to cope with the situation
the British forces are being strong-
ly reinforced.

The British claim that back of the
and resentment
there is Italian propaganda, and
that the same propaganda has
reached as far as India. There 1s
no doubt that the Italians would
not hesitate to stir up anti-British
feeling in any of the Mediterranean
countries, but at the same time it
cannot be ignored that if the Arabs
were happy and contented under
British rule no amount of Italian
propaganda would provoke them
into what is developing into an
armed strugsle for national inde-
pendence. It cannot be denied that
the Arab population has genuine
grievances, and to condemn then
for using what they consider the
only means for ‘rectifying those
erievances would be to approve of
the policies of British Imperialism
the world over.

Palestine used to be part of the
Turkish Empire, but British armies
under General Allenby took it from
the Turks in the campaign of 1917-
18, and since 1922 Britain has ruled
it under a League of Nations man-
date. Britain also got out of the
war large oil bearing areas in Meso-
potamia, and it has been to protect
her interests there that Britain has
fortified the Palestine port of Haifa
and made it a fueling station for
the British fleet.

Im 1917, after Palestine had been
conquered by the British, Lord Bal-
four pledged Great Britain to use
the country as a home-land for the
Jews, a move that has ever sincé
received the strong support of the
capitalist controlled Zionist move-
ment. Since the war there has been
a great Jewish immigration into
Palestine, an immigration so large
and backed up by such great finan-
cial resources as to be in danger of
threatening the livelihood of the
Arabs, The Arabs see their country
gradually being taken away from
them in spite of the fact that they
have repeatedly appealed to the
British authorities to restrict Jew-
ish immigration and to forbid the
sale of more land to the Jews, as
they know that in a short time the
Jews will be in a majority in the
country. Palestine is not a home-
Jand for the Jews. It is another field
of exploitation for British capital-
ists, another link in the great Brit-
ish Empire. The only real home-
Jand for Jews is in Biro-Bidjan, in
the Soviet Union. In Palestine the
Jews have become the pawn of Brit-
ish Imperialism; in Biro-Bidjan they
have been given every encourage-
ment and support by the Soviet
Government to build up their own
national life and culture.

The sorely pressed taxpayers of

are on semi-staryvation relief rations

mayor and aldermen, since McGeer
took. office on January 1, 1935, have
dipped into the civic treasury to the
extent of $16,000 to pay their travel-
ling expenses.

Tf their junkettings were of any
value to the city perhaps the ex-
penditure of such a large sum
could be condoned, but utterly use-
Jess ‘‘Mayors’ conferences” and al-
most numberless futile week end

payers’ money was used for.
“WicGeer’s trips cost the taxpayers

$1692.76, some of which was spent
on such ‘“‘city business” as trips to
Harrison Hot Springs, Calgary, and
jaunts to Victoria. He is such 2
busy man trying to hoe two jobs,
‘and drawing salaries for both, that
trains are not good enough nor fast
enough for him. The taxpayers were
mulcted out of $211.75 so that he
could come by airplane to partici-
pate in the preparations for the
Jubilee racket.

The wanton extravagance and
waste of public money by a mayor
and council that cannot balance the
city budget and ‘refuse to give relief

to rejected camp boys is also shown
in the way they handed out huge
sums to lawyers.

Qn top of the $16,000 they
squandered on themselves travelling
about the country, they handed out
$11,600 to lawyers although the city
maintains a legal department and
staff at considerable cost to the city.

T™ G. McLelan, former legal as-
sociate of McGeer was given $4,300,
$3,050 of which was for “advice” to
Chief Foster who in turn was given
a $1000 “bonus” for being so good
4 police chief that it cost $3,050 for
legal advice as to how to do his job.

Another lawyer, Mr. Kerr, vre-
ceived $2,500 for conducting a
“probe.’ The legal firm of the
Liberal leader, Farris, was siven
$1,550 on the Baby Bond business.
This by no means exhausts the list
of legal luminaries who were given
money out of the civic treasury.

Does Crime Pay?

“Red” Ryan, Canada’s most no-
torious stick-up man, came to the
end of his trail five days ago in a
eun battle against police during a2
hold-up of a govermment rum shop.

Ryan’s reversion to crime was 2
betrayed of the confidence placed in
him when he was given his parole.
But it was a greater betrayal of con-
victs who have been hopefully look-
ing forward to parole, men who
have earned the chance and who
would “go straight.”

Ryan's actions since being Te-
Jeased has made it more difficult
for those men. For now there will
be a clamor from people who will
use his action as an argument
against parole on principle, forget-
ting that nine out of ten men on
parole do not go back to crime.

There were very few of us, fellow
eonvicts of Ryan who knew him
well for two and one-half years in
the Kingston penitentiary, who
doubted his intention to “go
straight’ if ever released. On many
occasions, in the hospital, where he
was an orderly and out on walks
in the prison yard I talked with Red
on this question. Many times he said,
“Crime doesn’t pay,” and “There
can be no such thing as a “perfect”
erime.’’ He often spoke of his lost
years in prison~

Bennett’s Interest

In spite of his being a “lifer” and
having a long criminal record,
powerful influences were at work
to procure his release, while youths,
who had slipped, largely because of
poverty, were forgotten and left to
serve their full sentences, although
their first convictions.

R. B. Bennett, then prime min-
ister, is credited with being the in-
fluence at Ottawa that moved the
Remission Branch to release Ryan.
This is undoubtedly true. For this
Bennett has been played up as a
kindly disposed humanitarian, But

Red Ryan Said ‘‘No’’? — Capitalism Says “Yes”
; he was nothing of the sort.
By MALCOLM BRUCE : Bennett procured the release of

Ryan in response to the powerful
pressure exerted by the hierarchy
of the Catholic church. He had him
released in July, three months be-
fore the last federal election in order
to snare Catholic votes, particularly
in Quebec, which otherwise he would
not have received.
Capitalist Schooling

It was a vote-getting action, just
as the release of criminals in B.C.
was effected in order to get the
Italian yotes for the Liberal Party.

Ryan was a product of capitalism
and its penal system. Born and
reared in poverty, he committed
petty thefts as a boy before he had
instilled into his mind the neces-
sary reverence for property. Con-
victed, he was sent to that notorious
preparatory school for crime, the
Industrial School, thence to the
ich School of crime, the provincial
jail, finishing in the penitentiary,
the university of crime.

Assuming that “Red’ was con-
vineed that crime does not pay and
was determined to “go straight,”
modern capitalist society, immedi-
ately upon his release, set about to
show him that he was wrong—that
erime did pay. =

Profit-hunery business Men ex-
ploited his notoriety for the purpose
of selling cars and attract
ing trade to hotels. It is reported
that for this he was paid $500 a
month—when workers were slaying
for starvation wages and unknown
released first offenders were denied
work and hounded by the police.

“Red” Ryan, enemy of society
though he was, had many possibili-
ties and many likeable qualities, But
modern capitalism stifled all that
was good in him, and watered and
nurtured all that was not good. In
a society like that being built in the
Soviet Union he would have been
reclaimed; he would have been de-
veloped into a most useful mem-
ber of society.

UNITED FRONT OF
SPANISH YOUTH

MADRID, May 21 {A LP)—The
unification plans of the Socialist
and Communist Youth Federations
were recently ratified at a plenum
of the leading committees of both
organizations.

The resolution unanimously adopt-
ed by the plenum approved ‘“‘with
the utmost enthusiasm the unifica-
tion of the two Federations,” and
the policies of the leading commit-
tees which made possible the
achievement of organic unity.

The work of the joint committee
which represented the Spanish So-
eialist and Communist youth at the
Sixth Congress of the Young Com-
munist International was also ap-
proved and the following organiza-
tions and individuals were hailed as
having contributed to the amalga-
mation of the two organizations:

The Comunist International and its

secretary, Georgea Dimitroff; Young
Communist International; Largo Ca-
pallero and the left-wing of the
Spanish Socialist Party; the Span-
ish Communist Party and its leader,

NATION-WIDE STRIKE
CONSIDERED IN CUBA

—Rumors of a nation-wide strike
were heard today as labor jeaders
met to discuss a recent address by
Gommonwealth Labor Secretary
Ramon Torres, in which he said un-
rest amone laborers was justified.
He said the government neglected to
deal adequately with their problems.

Authoritative sources said strikers
would demand higher wages stand-
ardized at $5 cents a day in Manila
and 60 cents in the provinces.

There were rumors that walkouts
would start among workers in Man-
fla cigar factories and gradually
spread throughout the islands, pos-
sibly next week.

concerned he does not even hint at
but would leave his readers to

dom of speech, independent politi<
