Civilization
At Crossroads

Spain is Spearhead of At-
tack of World Fascism
Says Smith

CRANBROOK, B.C.—The Red
Army is the greatest guarantee in
the world today of peace, and a
German attack on the Soviet border
would end in Berlin with the Red
Flag over the Reich, declared Rev.
A. E. Smith in defining the cross-
roads crisis of civilization and its
two djametrically opposite move-

“ments.

The attack on the People’s Gov-
€rnment of Spain is the spearhead
ef an international fascist drive
to force civilization back and the
nations to render tribute to a Ger-
man “superman.’’

An intensely interestea audience
heard about Russia—where 170 mil-
lion people are consciously building
socialism in a steady, ever-forward
march, where, in the Moscow dis-
trict alone, eleven prisons were de-
Stroyed because “the people were
going out of the prison business,”
where 600 castles and palaces orig-
inally created for parasite counts
were converted into real homes for
between five and six million work-
ers and so become the residences
ef the real princes and princesses,
the creators.

In Canada, warned the speaker,
the crisis lies ahead and the destiny
of the creator class lies not in the
ereation of profits but in the crea-
tion of unity and solidarity.

To our portion of the 600,000
Slavic peoples of North America he
appealed to help their homelands to
erush fascism, and stressed the
urgent necessity of Anglo-Saxon as-
sistance to Ganada’s representative
ef civilization in Madrid, Dr.
Bethune.

Smith is lecturing under the au-
spices of the Committee to Aid
Spanish Democracy.—P_W.

Two delegates were elected last
Friday night at the regular meeting
of the Social Service Council to at-
tend the Industrial, Agricultural &

Employment conference in New

Mr. Horseman was re-elected

responsible for the increased cost
of potatoes.

Organizations which are not yet

The advanced dance classes will

Judge

BURNABY, B.C., Nov. 21.—Re-
gardless of the evidence submitted
by the assaulted police officer, who
declared that he did not know who
struck him, Magistrate H. L. John-
son sentenced James Nice, today, to
a term of thirty days in Oakalla pri-
son farm for the assault.

Nice was arrested on October 27
for assault on police officers during
the eviction of A. lL. Sandberg from
his home at 3318 Neville Street.
Phil. Gibbons arrested at the same
time on an obstruction charge was
sentenced to. the same term two
weeks ago by Magistrate Gillis, u
rabid labor hater.

Garfield King, who conducted the
defence, asked for a new trial judge
as Gillis warned the bondsmen that
Nice would need to be watched as he
was liable to jump bail.

Defence counsel pressed for dis-
missal on the grounds that the police

judge disallowed this, stating that
civilians had no right to attack
oplice in uniform. They could seek
redress through the civil courts,

Union Leaders For Crime

Jury Panel Recommend-

Business

c

OAKLAND, Calif. — (FP) — Bari
King, Prank Conner and EB. H. Ram-
Say, Maritime unionists, have gone
on trial for their lives before a jury
which contains no trade unionists,
but was selected from a panel “rec-
ommended” by big banks, business-
men’s fraternal orders and “certain
industrial plants who had vyolun-
teered suggeestions.”’

The panel, by acknowledgement of
the jury commissioner, contained 75
per cent Republicans, in a county
Where Democrats outnumber Re-
publicans 3 to 2. It was a selected
venire picked last July and carefully
saved from other jury trials by Dis-
trict Attomey Harl Warren, to be
used in the case, which has aroused
Wide concern in west coast labor
circles as a potential second Mooney
affair.

A Flimsy Frame-Up.

Wing, a marine firemen’s union
official, and his codefendants wWwere
arrested on a murder charge shortly
before the west coast maritime
agreement expired—at a time cal-
culated to give the waterfront unions
a black eye. Trade unionists regard
the murder charge as a flimsy
frame-up.

The Bank of America, the Amer-
ican Trust Co. and the Blks, whose
leaders are pronounced red-batters,
helped “recommend’’ the panel, the
jury commissioner said. No labor
unions were asked for suggestions.
The defense believes the “industrial
Plants’’ also canvassed for jurymen
were probably shipowners.

Defense moves met continued re-
buff as the trial got under way.
The court of appeals acted unfavor-
ably on disqualification proceedings
against Judge Ogden, who is close to
th district attorney's office. The
judge makes objections from the
bench, instead of merely ruling on
objections by the lawyers. A sep-
arate trial was denied for a fourth
Gefendant, George Wallace, who
“confessed,” thereby preventing the
defense from eross-examinine= him.

The Facts About Killing

Of Constable Gisborne

Constables Gisborne and Garr
were directed to go to the reserve
just outside Merritt, B.C., and ar-
rest Aeneas George by the Indian
Agent, although he knew full well
that such a course was entirely con-
trary to the Spintlum Treaty made
with these Indians in the early days
but which the authorities now en-
deavor to repudiate in action if not
in words.

These officers first called in at
Several beer parlors (Indians are
not served in these establishments
and one would think that this would
be the last place to find them) be-
fore arriving at the reserve some
two hours later in a very drunken
state. On arriving, Constable Gis-
borne decided that they would ar-
rest other members of the family.
Constable Carr pointed out to him
that they had orders to arrest only
Aeneas George. Other members of
the family also protested against
this high-handed method of CGon-
stable Gisborne, at which he started
to threaten with his gun, firing
one shot at Joseph George and
wounding him. The brothers de-
fended themselves and these con-
Stables were killed in the melee
caused by the drunken actions of
Constable Gisborne.

Mr. Henderson, defense counsel,
stated that if the gun had not
jammed, the four George brothers
might have been killed and Gon-
stable Gisborne on trial for murder.

One cannot see premeditation to
murder on the part of these men or
that they had even resisted arrest,
but throughout the whole of this
ease it was shown that they at-
tempted to reason with a drunken
man who was infringing on their
rights.

We cannot overlook the remarks
of the Attorney-General that he
“would ask for the death sentence
in this case in order that the Indians

would learn. to respect the arm of

Sign The Single Unemploved
Men’s Petition On Saturday
Demanding Leaders’ Release

All sympathizers in the cause of the fight for relief
put up by the Single Unemployed, will have the oppor-
tunity of registering their protest against the sentences
imposed on Fred Grange and Harry Molland.

Members of the Single Unemployed Protective As-
sociation will be canvassing for signatures at Victory
Square, Main and Hastings, and at Granville and Hastings,

all day Saturday.

These two leaders of the unemployed were sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary for the crime of organizing
the unemployed youth in order to ebtain relief.

With them, more than 180 young men were convicted

for selling flowers on the streets of Vancouver.

Of this

number approximately 140 are still held in Oakalla jail.
The S.U.P.A. are seeking their immediate release, and im-

mediate relief.

For B.C. Ministers

VICTORIA, Nov. 20.— Cabinet
ministers of the Pattullo TLiberal
regime believe in travelling in
Style, judging by the amount paid
out of the provincial treasury for
the year ending March 31.

A total of $17,025 was sent by the
eight cabinet ministers. The Hon.
G. M. Weir heads the list with an
expenditure of $2694; Hon. John
Hart, $2625; Premier Pattullo, $2500;
Hon. Gordon Sloan, $2439: Hon.
Wells Gray, $2170; Hon. ©. M. Mac-
Pherson, $2149; Hon. G. S. Pearson,
$1250; and the Hon. K. GC: Mac-
Donald spent $1198 of the taxpayers
money.

the law” even before the evidence
had been heard, makes one wonder
whether this attitude and the one
shown at later trials, where the
recommendation of the jury was
completely ignored was not pre-
meditated.

The attempt of Mr. Sloan to give
the impression that the police can
do no wrong in the face of the above
facts, shows a gross lack of ethics
and principles of Canadianism
which were impressed upon our
minds as children. :

The hanging of two of these men
five days after the appeal for the
new trial was lost and in the face
of the protests of the General CGon-
ference of the United Church, Gom-
munist Party of Canada, C.C.F.
Party and Social Constructive
Party, also many prominent indi-
viduals and other cultural organiza-
tions shows clearly that there is a
definite tendency to ignore the basic
principles of democracy.

Then again the lives of Indians
are not considered of very much
value to the authorities if we con-
sider the sum paid to indigent In-
dian families, that of $4.50 for a
family per month, so we can under
stand the flippancy of our Attorney-
General.

Wevertheless, there are a number
of people and organizations who
are still of the opinion that justice
can still be done to these people
and are campaigning for the release
of the two brothers who are still in
prison, and also urging an immedi-
ate investigation into Indian af-
fairs.

SALENGRO DEATH
LAID 10 TARDIEU

Communists Demand
Arrest of Former
Premier

PARIS, Nov. 20—Arrest of one
time premier Andre Tardieu and two
other prominent fascists is demand-
ed by the Communist Party of
France for contributing to the death
of Roger Salengro, minister of the

interior, in the Blum cabinet, who
killed himself Tuesday night.

Salengro was clearly recently by
a military tribunal of all charges of
conspiring and selling war secrets to
Germany, but the fascists continuea
their debased and unfounded at-
tacks on the minister.

The other fascists who are named
by the Political Bureau of the Com-
munist Party, and against whom
the party demands charges he
brought against are Horace Carbuc-
cia, editor of the fascist weekly,
“Gringoire,” and his son-in-law.
Jean Chiappe, former prefect of the
Paris police, and member of the
Chamber of Deputies.
