A LITERARY GIANT PASSES

IWS dispatches inform us of the death of

Maxim Gorki, world famous author.

Gorki. one of the greatest masters of proletarian

literature, devoted his entire life to the cause of

the liberation of mankind from the thralldom of
capitalist-imposed slavery. : :

Before the great proletarian revolution in
Russia, and for a considerable time atterward,
he was unable to throw off entirely the ideology
of reformism, and found difficulty in accepunse
the dictatorship of the proletariat as the indis-
pensible instrument for the suppression ot the
capitalist class and those im its service. Time
and experience, however, worked a change in
him and for a decade and more, until his death,
he was one of the greatest champions and de
fenders of the Soviet Union and of Communism.

Te was a friend and co-worker of Lenin and
Stalin, both of whom highly yalued his great
literary gifts, intellectual honesty and service to
the struggling new Soyiet land which he lived
to see as victorious over its external and internal
class foes as it has been in the building ot so-
eialism.

The life and work of Gorki is an inspiration
to all intellectuals for whom capitalism in its
decay offers no future other than selfstultifica-
fion and decadence. He has shown them that
the revolutionary road is the only road for artists
as it is for workers, the only career which holds
out opportunities for real ereative work.

Ripe in years, with the love of countless mil-
lions of the liberated masses of the Soviet Union
and the oppressed masses of the capitalist world,
loaded with honors by the only useful class on
earth and bequeathing a priceless literary and
political heritage, he lays down his pen. But
Gorki lives on in his immortal works and in the
thousands of younger men to whom his life was
an inspiration and his supreme artistry a guide.

PAY THEM IN FULL
HE Vancouver Trades and Labor Council
is to be commended for its protest against
the coolie wages being paid to ex-relief camp
workers who have been sent to work as Mainten-
ance of Way men on the railroads.

The handing over of these men to the railroad

companies as if they were indentured slaves is a
~ ghockine betrayal and repudiation of the pre=-
election promises of the Liberal Party.

These men are compelled to work for the
begearly sum of 25 cents an hour when the
going wage for such work is 40 cents an hour,
and the Trades and Wabor Council demand is
50 cents per hour. They are compelled to toil
at back-breaking work for 10 hours a day when
an S-hour day is the general rule.

On top of that they are exploited by a stomach-
robber who receives a cut out of the food the men
eat—or ratherthe food they do not eat—and for
which they pay $5.50 per week. They are robbed
of $5.00 by means of a poll tax. They are also
robbed of $1.75 per month for medical treat-
ment by an itinerant croaker who, when he does
meander around, confines his jinistrations to
handing out aspirin tablets and epsom salts for
everything from malnutrition to gallstones.

The dirtiest deal of all is that the wages,
paltry though they are, are not paid in full.
The men are taxed out of approximately one
half of it to create a fund out of which their re-
lief allowance will be paid when they are unem-
ployed.

The Trades and Labor Council, and the entire
Jabor movement, must come to the assistance of
these workers, and by other and more effective
means than mere protests. Already the men are
organizing to struggle against their inhuman ex-
ploitation and treatment. They will demand and
ficht for 40 cents an hour and an S8-hour day,
which are not extravagant demands. They will
demand decent food at reasonable cost. Above
all, they will demand payment promptly and

in full, as well as the abolition of the thieving
poll tax.

Tn this strugele they should have such whole
hearted support of the masses as they were fiven
in their great strugele against the militarized
slave camps.

DEMOCRACY AND THE SUPREME

COURT
LTHOUGHI capitalist democracy must be
defended against fascist dictatorship, the

people ot Canada should have no illusions about
it, or regard it as providing the political means
for ending capitalism and instituting socialism,
as so mauy social-democratic leaders aver.

The power of the Supreme Court of Canada
to nullify laws made by elected representatives
of the people was recently shown by its invalida-
tion ot the Marketine Act, the Unemployment
Tnsurance Jesisiation and other measures.

Byen if legislation initiated and passed by
the elected representatives in the House of Com-
mons receives the approval of the non-elective
Senate, there is still the hurdle of the Supreme
Court to overcome.

Without soine into the merits or demerits of
the Bennett “reform” legislation at this time; it
is clear that no Jeeislation in the interest of the
toiling population can be made the law of the
land by the Hiouse of Commons alone so lone as
the reactionary old man of the sea, the Senate,
exists, or so long as a Supreme Court, a body ap-
pointed on the basis of service to capitalism, en-
jO¥S 1ts present powers.

A parliamentary minority without powerful
mass backing throughout the country is impotent.
yen a majority, and the government which
goes with it, is equally powerless, as the Senate’s
rejection of proposed amendments to the B.N.A.
Act and the nullifyine decisions of the Supreme
Court amply proves.

What does compel a measure of progressive
legislation is the organized mass pressure of the
people outside parliament. Even the reactionary
Senate and the Suprem Court would be com-=
pelled to bend to such aroused public opinion
if it was organized, united and militant.

The recent actions of the Senate, and the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court should teach the
leaders of the C.C.F. that the time for rejection
of the United Front, and the policy of passivity
and industrial peace while leaving everything to
parliamentary debates and waiting for a ma-
jority in parliament, has lone since passed, if
ever such a polacy had any justitication.

The people of Canada should unite not only
aeainst war and fascism and for the economic
betterment of the masses, they should also in-
seribe on their banner the demands for the aboli-
tion of the Senate and the curbing of the powers
of the Supreme Court.

PESTS INVADE OMINECA

HE members of the Pattullo government,

feeling the chill of approaching death upon
them, are making frantic efforts to hornswogele
the electorate of Omineca into again voting for a
eandidate of the reactionary Liberal Party.

A flock of provincial ministers with Pattullo
at its head has been swarming over the con-
stituency making more false promises and brib-
ing the people with expenditures on roads and
other public works, to be paid for out of the pub-
he treasury.

Pattullo would like to win the Omineca by-
election in order to pump a breath of hope into
the sick hulk cf B.C. Liberalism and to give
his heelers some enthusiasm for the Burrard
contest which is in the offing.

Although Omineca is a Liberal riding tradi-
tionally, the Pattullo crowd are by no means con-
fident of winning it this time. The C.C.F. can-
didate, Godwin, is maling a strenuous campaign
of it even if handicapped by lack of funds, for
he is not a cabinet minister with an expense ac-
count which the public must pay.

Whatever the outcome will be in Omineca,
Pattullo is due for a hiding in Burrard, and he
sees the handwriting on the wall. A victory in
Omineca might prove a shot in the arm for his
heelers in the Burrard fight,- but not enough to
earry him to victory. For the people of Vancou-
yer know the record of the Pattullo government

avith its fraudulent ““Work and Wages” program, |

its use of provincial police in the interest of the
lumbering and shipping bosses, its reion of terror
against workers in the interior and its general
ineompetence, wastefulness and complete sub-
servience to the exploiters of the people of the
provinee.

Fhe World
This Week

By F. B.

Relations between the great capi-
talist powers have become more
strained lately. Although the Italian-
Ethiopian war has been ended for
some time Britain still keeps her
fleet in the Mediterranean being
very mueh afraid that Mussolini
might without warning seize control
of the whole area. So great is this
expectation that Britain is discuss-
jing the fortification of Cape Lown
to defend the trade route to the
East in case she loses out in the
Mediterranean.

Mussolini elamors for the removal
ot the commerical sanctions Still in
effect against him and threatens if
they are not wrtihdrawn he will with-
draw from the League of Nations
and seek an alliance with Hitler.
This suggested alliance is so threat-
ening to Britain that the London
Times said recently: “For Britain
and for general European peace,
Anglo-German exchanges hold the
higest constructive opportunity open
at the moment,” thereby indicating
British efforts to find allies where
she can, even with the monster
Hitler. .

In the Far Bast, due to Japuan’s
immediate plan to seize all China
British interests and trade are en-
dangered. More than that, a Japan
in control of ;\China would be within
striking distance at India and other
Empire possessions:

Japan, and Italy are taking turns
at tweaking the-Lion’s tail and step-
ping on his toes. Germany keeps all
Britain keyed up to the danger of
unannounced terrible attacks from
the air, and whether these fascist
nations have an understanding or
not there is no doubt they are seiz-
ing every opportunity to embarrass
Britain. To mollify Italy Sir Neville
Chamberlain, speaking unofficially
for the British cabinet said that to
continue the sanctions against Italy
would be ‘midsummer madness.”
Other British authorities propose a
reformation of the League of
Wations, and a re-drafting of the
Covenant of the League leaving out
all mention of sanctions. The League
did not prevent Japan from invad-
ine China some years ago, it did not
prevent the two-year war betweei
Paraguay and Bolivia, it did not put
a stop to Mussolini's attack on BEthi-
opia, a fellow member, but there is
no question that the threat of
League sanctions has so far pre-
vented Mussolini and Hitler from
starting an Buropean war. If the
League should go out of business its
weaker members in Furope will be
driven to protective war alliances
and the final alignments of the big
capitalist powers for the next world
war will be hastened. In this situa-

tion the question might well be
ased: “Why, if Britain wants to
avoid war, does she not sign a

Mutual Assistance with the Soviet
Union as France and Czecho-Slo-
vakia have already done ” A com-
bination of this sort would have the
fascist nations in a vice, but al-
though Britain is not anxious to gv
to war there is no doubt she would
enter a war willingly if it would end
in the destruction of the Soviet
Union and the perpetuation of capi-
talism even if under fascist govern-
ments.
* * * *

While the news coming through
from China is unreliable as well as
rather vague, there is no doubt that
Japan is preparing for its biggest
venture yet in China, and if she suc-
ceeds there will be little of China
left that will not be under her con-
trol. But will she succeed? Yes, if
the actions of the Nanking govern-
ment can bring success, and No, if
the efforts of Soviet China and the
Canton government can unite the
mass of the people against Japanese
Imperialism. It is deplorable that
the head of the Nanking govern-
ment threatens to use force to pre-
vent Cantonese troops from march-
ing northwards against Japanese
troops. He seems determined to
bring about a condition of civil war,
a condition that would play directly
into Japan’s hands, not only in 2
military sense,- but she would have
the excuse that she was occupying
the country to bring peace, order
and good government.

British Israelite Leader Is

Agent Of

Dr. Pascoe Goard Much
Alarmed Over Leftward
Swing of Youth

Dr. W. Pascoe Goard, deputy pres-
ident of the British Israel world

federation, has recently paid his an- |

nual visit to Canada. Before leaving
Vancouver for New Zealand he ad-
Gressed a number of public meet-
ings and spoke several times over
the radio.

His is the voice of British Im-
perialism, or at least one of its
voices. The tenor of all his speeches
was that according to biblical proph-
eey the British Empire is soon to
face a great tribulation, to pass
through the purifying fires of an-
other great war, after which God
Almighty will intervene and place
the British Empire in the position of
rulership of all the earth.

Stalin No Dictator

The reverend doctor said that we
may expect in the very near future
to see the three great dictators,
Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler, get to-
eether against God's chosen people,
the British Empire. Only a British
Israelite could be guilty of such a
wild statement. Stalin is not a dic-
tator. He is the general-secretary of
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union. Hé is the leader of this Party
but not its boss or dictator, and is
as much amenable to its discipline
as any other member. The statement
that he and Hitler and Mussolini
could get together, that there is any
common ground for themsto get to-
gether, is not at all flattering to
Dr. Goard’s understanding of world
affairs. It is either based on pro-
found ignorance or upon a deliber-
ate intention to confuse his listeners,
and is probably the latter.

It is true that both Nazi Germany
and Fascist Italy are very real and
dangerous enemies of the British
Empire. They both want the colonies
that Britain has. It is equally true
that the existence of the Soviet
JInion is a menace to all empires,

Imperialism

including the British of course, not

in a military way but in the great
example it has set to the exploited
colonial people the world over. Its
strong advocacy of Sel—f determina-
tion of all peoples is rallying the
world’s oppressed to struggle against
their imperialist masters for in-
dependence, for the right to work
out their own destiny unhampered
by foreign military might.
Britain Pro-Hiktler

But Dr. Goard lumps all forces
that might interfere with the con-
tinued existence of the Empire to-
gether. H glosses over the well
known fact that Britain has always
assisted Hitler in order that he
might build up a military machine
capable of crushing the Soviet Re-
public, and that the Soviet govern-
ment today is the spearhead of the
strugele against fascism whether in
Italy, Germany or elsewhere.

“Self-determination,’? said the doc-
tor, “is of the devil, because it is
contrary to divine determination.”
This one observation ¢xposes the
British Israel movement as one of
the most reactionary movements in
the country. According to it Britain
rules India, Africa, and in other
backward parts of the world because
God Almighty has determined it.
Mussolini, victorious over Ethiopia,
might with as much justification
say the same thing.

Youth Awakening

The doctor was much concerned
over the-drift of the youth towards
Communism. But where else are
they to go if they want to live their
lives in peace and plenty? The youth
are a few jumps ahead of reaction-
aries like Dr. Goard who would herd
them into the slaughter house of an-
other war and tell them they were
doing God's work-in fighting for
the Empire. The youth are learning
through bitter experience that capi-
talism means a continuance of the
rotten conditions prevailing today,
and that life can be made hopeful
and worth living by abolishing capi-
talism and bringing in socialism
under which there will be no un-
employment, no poverty and no
wars,

Pro-Nazi Propaganda Of
‘Commonwealth’ Attacked

Support Berlin Olympics
Despite Opposition of
Sport Circles

Any person who hus followed the
labor movement and who, at the
same time is a lover of clean ama-—
teur sports would have been rudely
shocked by the attitude of the “B.C.
Commonwealth” and the CCF.
Sports Committe towards the Olym-
pic Games being held in Berlin,
Germany, this year, Their attitude
was one of praise and support for
the German government because of
the preparations for the Games.

It should be remembered at this
time that the Olympic Games, be-
cause they are being held in Ger-
many, is a matter of no small con-
cern but rather one of international
significance. German fascism is
striving to utilize the Olympics as
a smoke-screen for further strength-
eninge the military machine of
fascism in preparation for Imperial-
ist expansion. At the same time
glorifying fascism and everything
for which it stands. Murther expect-
ing that the Olympic Games will
help to lessen the pressure of world

boyeott by religious, labor and
numerous other groups, which has
been jeopardizing the position of

Witler and his gang of cut-throats.

The Canadian people in ho un-
certain terms expressed themselves
as being opposed te the Olympic
Games. Central trade union bodies
demanded non-participation in the
Games unless transferred to a more
demecratie country. The Winnipes
Gity Council refused te assist in
financing teams or persons to the

Games. These are only highlights
in a Dominion-wide campaign ex-

pressing opposition.

In Vancouver the anti-Nazi Olym-
pic sentiment was so great that the
less progressive sports greups feared
to come forward with plans for an
extensive financial campaign. A
young man, interviewing one of the
leading sports writers of the “Van-
couver Sun” was told that the anti-
Olympic sentiment was very esreat
and would remain so as long as the
Games were to be held in Germany,
and remarked that this question was
all that could be heard around sport-
ing circles.

The result was that any desire on

the part of Vancouver sportsmen
for participation in the WBerlin
Olympics was squashed by the anti-
Olympic sentiments.

Suddenly the GCF. Sports Com-
mittee announces that the winner
of one of the events of the sports
day will participate in another meet
for participation in the Olympic
Games. This is followed by an ex-
tensive campaign of glorification of
Hitler’s Olympics both by the C.C-F.
Sports Committee and by the “B.C.
CGommonwealth.”” :

This campaign could have had no
other result than to encourage the
pro-Olympiec forces to greater
activities.

Immediately following upon the
footsteps of the pro-fascist campaign
eonducted by the GC.C.F. Sports
Committee and the “Common-
wealth,” in connection with the
Berlin Olympics, a request for a tag
day by 2 local swimming elub was
granted by the Vancouver City
Council.

Again the people of Vancouver
expressed their opposition to the
Berlin Olympics by refusing to do-
nate to the taggers, who required
$3000 to send a swimming team to
Berlin of which only $230 was
raised,

It is about time that the readers
of the ‘‘Commonwealth,” and mem-
bers of the C.C.F. took a greater
interest in th contents of the paper
and brought pressure to bear upon
the responsible people for the
elimination of such anti-labor con-
tents of the “Commonwealth.”
