Wiarch 5, 1937 B.C. WORKERS’ NEWS Page Three China Moves To New Unity CP, Kuomintang Agreement Fear of Imperialism By T. E. Ghina’s National - Salvation movement stirring millions to a depth hitherto unheard of, has become a matter of prime im- portance to all peace-loving and democratic people—within and svithout China. This National Salvation movement is not an accident nor can it be attributed, as the reactionary capitalist Press does, to statesmanship of ‘Chians Kai-shek or the Nanking government. : In August, 1935, the Commun- ist party of China issued a mani- festo calling for a union of all parties in China to resist imperial- 3st ageression—and Japanese agres- sion in particular. -This manifesto—appealinge in par- ticular for unity of the two major parties in China—the CP of China and the Kuomintang, has been mis- represented in sections of the bour- feois and Trotskyist press as a “‘sell-out’’ of Soviet Districts and the Chinest Red Army to Nankine. This interpreetation comes rather strange from the bourgeois press Sut is not a new phenomenon in Trotskyist cupidity- The areh- reactionary press, such as the North China Daily News, organ of British Imperialism, lumps ‘Communists and Foreign ageresssion”’ together and ridicules “sincerity of the Com- munist-bandits in their cunity. From the organ of English finance capital this is not hard to under- stand.

We pledged himself and his party to do everything to bar the path of reaction. “Conservatives want unity with the Liberals but it must be without Bracken,’ said Litterick. “Theirs is a reactionary desire, a coalition to put across the Conservative policy and program.” “Forming of an alliance to block the road to Fascism is nothing new.” he said. “The history of the past few years shows it is neeessary. If the people of this province are to Save themselves then we must have unity of progressive forces based on a progressive programe to satis- fy the people’s needs.’ Progressive forces lay in labor and Social Credit groups, in Mr. Stubbs, himself and to some extent in the Liberal party, but not in the Con- seryative party, he stated. The Communist MLA pointed to a people's party as an absolute ne- ecessity, adding; “if Bracken wishes to come along too let him cut him- self away from reactionary circles and reactionary policies.”’ Government Responsible He emphasized the government’s responsibility for the debi situation, unemployment, criminal conditions in the countryside and deterioration 2 of health throughout the province, cutting of social services, forcing youth to slave camps and farm placement scheme. Litterick urged public works for town and countryside as a necessity, Slum clearance, provision of seed to the farmers. If the government will cut inter- est in half it can effect a saving of $3,000,000 Which will wipe out the two per cent wage tax, he said. He urged another $3,000,000 from taxes On large corporations now gettine away With too little taxation. “A way must be found,’’ he de- Clared, “to tax those people who are gettine’ wealthy out of this pro- Vinee but are not paying taxes be- Cause they do not live here.’’ Pleads for Drought Areas Terming some phases of the pre- sent situation ‘financial hooligan- ism,” Litterieck urged lesislation to enable municipalities to meet the situation in a realistic manner. He sought bringing all workeers Within the scope of compensation and minimum wage acts and urged a health insurance scheme under government control. The Communist MLA disagreed With formulation in the throne speech of legislation to prevent strikes, joining S. J. Farmer (TLP+ CCF, party whip) in savine legisla- lation was needed to protect the in- terest of employes’ collective bar- Saining and right to belongs to a union without discrimination. Preserve Right to Strike “The right to strike must not be taken away,’ he said. “It is one of the weapons of the workine class whieh they loathe to but must use- at times.’’ He scored the present attitude to- wards the single men in Winnipes ang the ridiculously low relief in the countryside. He added the gov- ernment must institute its election promises of public works. He said unemployed want work With decent wages in preference to idleness on relief. Litterick stated it must the #overnment’s objective to deal with the problems of the people. Progress is the main thing needed, progress leading to a brighter fu- ture for the people, easing their burdens and placing them on those more able to bear them. “This government can take that step if it wants,’ he told the house. “Tf it does not it will mean very serious and sharp changes in the politica] set-up of the proyince.”’ YCL Convention Is Set For March Annual provincial convention of the Young Communist League will be held in Clinton hall, Saturday, Sunday, March 17 18 it is an- nounced by the provincial executive WC: Announced also is inauguration of a campaign to increase the dues pay- ing membership to 300 become Success or Failure!
