odd jobs as “chiselers,” his responsibility for
having 160 of these men cut off relief altogether
—+hese and inany more actions place him in
the same camp as Miller, Pattullo, and other
baby starvers.

One of his latest exhibitions was his insolent
defense of aldermen wasting the taxpayers:
money on junkets which he calls ‘goodwill’
tours, “friendly gestures” to another city, and
“maintaining Leighborly contacts” with other
Ganadian and United States cities.

Pettipiece was the city council’s “ambassador
of goodwill” to the Portland Rose Festival, and
in addition to receiving $10 a day while away
he had the eall to present a bill for $25 for car
expenses. When his CCF colleagues complained
of such expenditures when starving citizens
and undernourished children are told that the
city has no money for more relief, Pettipiece
informed the council that he blew im more
money on the trip than he received from the
city, and cited his paying $8 a day for a hotel
room, more than he allows a family for food
and shelter for a week. And if they try to get
more he calls them chiselers.

The junketines of Vancouver aldermen are
as notorious as those of the Pattullo govern-
ment. And the Vancouver aldermen are just
as cynical and brazen about it. The sending
of each other on these fake tours of goodwill
is a racket, a way of having a good time at the
taxpayers’ expense. Aldermen Hurry and Gut-
teridge are to be commended for their stand
against the raids on the civic treasury by the
1937 McGeers, and the CCF should bring Pet-
tipiece to heel or repudiate him.

The Sun Unmasked

WN an editorial in its issue of last Tuesday

the Vancouver Sun welcomes the pouring

of further German and Italian troops into

Spain to continue the perpetration of the

horrors that have shocked and sickened the
whole world.

Because the struggle in Spain has dragged
on for many weary and bloody months the Sun
says:

... when Italy and Germany come out and

declare frankly that they propose to end
the intolerable tension and aid the rebels

to win, millions of neutrals will heave a

sigh of relief and call down blessings on
their heads.”

“Blessings on the heads” of the murderers o£
tens of thousands of helpless women, children
and old people! Blessings on the heads of
ageressors against a democratic government
and a peaceful people! What savage shameless-
ness! “Neutrals will heave a sigh of réliet !”
He who says he is a neutral on the matter ot
the attack acainst democracy in Spain and for.
the possession of its minerals and other wealth
‘5 of the same character as one who would be
neutral while looking on at the fiend raping and
then strangling to death three children in Cali-
fornia a few days ago.

But the attitude of neutrality is a lie behind
which lies sympathy with and assistance to the
fascist beasts who are murdering the Spanish
people. That is the sort of neutrality that the
pro-fascist Baldwin - Chamberlain government
practised. Without the assistance of the British
government with its infamously deceptive
non-intervention” the Spanish people would
long ago have driven Franco and his Moorish
mereenaries and German and Italian troops
into the sea, and Spain would today be rid of
the fascists.

The Sun knows that behind the scenes Hitler
and Mussolini were encouraged to give assist-

Sun would not have shown the cloyen hoot of
fascism were it not motivated by a desire to
hamper the efforts of Friends of the Mackenzie-
Papineau Battalion to raise money to send two
ambulances to the brave Canadian defenders
of democracy who are in Spain, giving their
jives that fascism shall not pass.

But the money is pouring jn, and will con-
tinue to pour im, despite the baring of fascist
teeth and snarling of the Sun. And its reaction-
ary proprietors and the hirelings who write
their Hitler-inspired editorials for them wall
have more cause for gnashing of teeth when
they learn that the people of this province may
bring enduring glory to it by sending an ambu-
Jance from British Columbia in addition to the
iwo that will be sent from Canada as a whole.

Out in the Open
LOSELY following the shametul speech of
capitulation to the fascist imtervention-
alists by Prime Minister Chamberlain, Musso-
lini and Hitler abandoned all pretenses and
stated openly ihat they were out for a fascist
victory in Spain. With brutal frankness Hitler
stated that Germany needed the rich minerals
of Spain and could get them only if Franco is
victorious, 3nd Mussolini stated that he would

send more reintorcements to Spain.

Using as a pretext an alleged attempt by loy-
alists to damage the German warship Leipzig—
which was not injured in the least—Hitler sent
a powerful naval fleet into Spanish waters.
This latest blackmail was referred to by
Chamberlain as showing “reasonableness” on
the part of Hitler.

The revolt and intervention in Spain was
planned in Rome and Berlin with Spanish gen-
erals and capitalists such as Juan March,
mouths before it broke out. When on July 18,
1936, hostilities began, German and Italian
troops, officers, planes, tanks and munitions
were already in Spain. And from that day to
this, fascist intervention has gone on at an ever
accelerating pace.

The fake non-intervention committee, al-
legedly set up to confine the war to Spain and
prevent foreign assistance reaching either side
in the struggle, was for the purpose of keeping
aid from reaching the legitimate government
and to allow munitions and men to be sent to
the rebels. Nhe chief criminal im this scheme
was the British government which forced the
hand of the weak and vacillating Blum and
Delbos by threatening that no help could be ex-
pected from Britain if France were attacked
unless they agreed to ‘nm bn-intervention.”

Taking advantage of the opposition of the
ereat majority of the people to another world
war, the Baldwin government, and later the
Chamberlain government, covered their assist-
ance to Franco, Hitler and Mussolini with the
plea that the nop-intervention agreement was
to prevent the war in Spain from spreading.

Even if there was such a desire, constant re
treat before fascist ageression in the hope that
the fascist wolves can thus be appeased is not
the way to preserve the peace of the world.
All that happens is that the fascists become
more insolent, more bold, and resort more and
more to provocation and blackmail.

The course followed by Germany and Italy,
with the connivance and secret support of im-
perialist Britain, leads straight to world war;
a strong stand by the demoeratic nations on the
basis of collective security against the aggressor
fascist powers would have stopped Hitler and
Mussolini dead in their bloody tracks within
two months after the revolt and armed jnvasron
pegan, and would have brought about the early
defeat of Franco and his handful of traitors
who would be powerless were it not for foreign
fascist assistance.

—Hditors.
HE bloody lesson of Bar-
celona needs to be learnt
by the entire international
working-class.

For Barcelona has laid
bare what Trotskyism means
in action. At Barcelona,
Trotskyism advanced from
words, fromits constant incitement
and provocation, attacks on unity
and the People’s Front and slan-
der on Communism and the 5So-
viet Union, to their logical sequel
in action. And its action was to
raise fratricidal war within the
popular forces, while the Fascist
enemy was delivering his attack
without.

By this action, Trotskyism Was
revealed to every serious worker
and anti-Fascist as the armed ally
of Fascism. The lesson of the
Moscow trials was taught anew in
a Western Huropean context.

*

Most serious of all is this les-
son for us in Britain. For with
shame it must be confessed that
a section of the British working:
class, even though a small one,
represented by the Independent
Labor Party, was involved in the
eriminal armed attempt against
the Spanish People’s Front.

The IiP contingent of yvolun-
teers to Spain, aceording to the
report of MeNair in the New
Leader, travelled from the front
to Barcelona, arrived in Barce-
Jona on May 3, the day of the
rising “just as it started,” and
served under the POUM in this
armed rising against the Spanish
People’s Front and its constituted
authorities—an act of treason
which in any war would be
punishable by death, but all the
more terrible when committed by
those who have peen received by
the Spanish People’s Front as
friends and fellow-fighters.

Volunteers whom the Sritish
working-class movement had sup-
ported and assisted to go to Spain
to fight Franco, were thus used to
bear arms against the Spanish
People’s government, i.e., on the
same side as Franco.

Not only that, but the “New
Leader’ this week comes out
with a full and unashamed de-
fence and even glorification of
the Trotskyist armed coup
against the Spanish working-
class and the People’s Front—
denounced by every working-
class organization in Spain, So-
cialist, Communist, Anarchist or
Syndicalist-

This raises an issue of the ut-
most gravity for the working-class
movement in Britain and for all
supporters of unity.

The ILP defenders of the POUM
claim that it is “not Trotskyist.”
This verbal alibi is valueless.
Byery argument, every policy,
every incitement and provocation
of the POUM is drawn from the
treasury of Trotskyism. What does
this shame-faced attempt to deny
the name matter, if the reality is
the same?

The IP claims that the POUM
was not responsible for the putsch,
put only supported it after it took
place. For this it quotes the offi-
cial statement of the POUM:

“What our party did was to asso-
ciate ourselves with the movement
when it took place.
were on the street, and our party
had to be on the side of the work-
ers.”

Facts show the opposite.

The workers

First, the incitement came from.
the POUM. It was on May 1 that
the POUM called on its followers
to “Seize power,’ and its leader
Nin declared that “tomorrow may
be too late.”

It was on May 2 that the POUM
organ, “la Batalla,” declared its
agreement with the anarchist
eroup, “riend of Durruti’? (Gn
whose name the rising was con
ducted),

“We entirely agree with one of
the anarchist groups, the Friends
of Durruti group. Against
the Generalitad of Barcelona we
set up the Revolutionary Junta.”

And again in the issue of May 2:

“An agreement has been con-
eluded between our Party, the
POUM, and the Anarchists.”

The leaflets and posters which
appeared in the streets on May 4
and May 5 on behalf of the lead-
ers of the putseh, in the name of
¢he Friends of Durruti, were is-
sued under the initials of the
CNT (syndicalist), the TAFE (anarch-
ist) and the POUM.

The CNT. and FAB immediately
issued a signed statement, dis-
claiming them and denouncing
them.

The POUM was thus laid bare
as the force behind the putsch,
against not only the Socialists,
Communists and Republicans, but
equally against the Anarchist and
Syndicalist organizations.

*

Second, for this very reason it
was not a question of the POUM
coming out “on the side of the
workers,” but against the work-
ers.

Bivery. responsible working-class
organization in Barcelona, not
only Socialist and Gommunist but
equally Syndicalist and Anarchist,
including the CNT, the RAT, the
Libertarian Youth and Federation
of Anarchist Groups, openly de-
nounced the putsch, and repudi-
ated the manifestos of the POUM,

and “Friends of Durrut.”

The POUM was only able to play
on the support of the most doubt-
ful. irresponsible, unorganized ele-
ments, especially the gunmen and
racketeering elements on the
fringes on Anarchism (the same
that shot the leader of the UGT,
Sese, outside the doors of the An-
archo - Syndicalist Amusements
Syndicate), in the face of the re-
pudiation of the organized work-
ing-class.

Anarchism, that dangerous
weakness of the Spanish working-
class, reflecting the backward.
stage of development, and which
Marx and the First International
long ago fought in Spain in the
pattles with Bakunin (and with
which the POUM seeks to build its
alliance against the organized
working-class) is mot here the
main criminal.

In the fires of the struggle
against Fascism, the majority of
the anarchist workers are learn-
ing the lessons of unity and disci-
pline.

The criminal is Trotskyism.

The enemies of the People’s
Front in Spain, the agents of
Franco, who showed their hand in
Barcelona, are now isolated. On
every side the demand is sounded
for the dissolution of the Trots-
kyist POUM.

Tt is urgently necessary that the
lesson should be learned by mem-
bers of the DP or all those who
may have given heedless ear to
this type of propaganda. ‘

“The anarchist,” wrote Plekha-
noy, “when he is not a police spy,
is a man who is doomed to realize
objectives the opposite of those
he wishes to achieve.”

The innocent may listen to fiery.
denunciations of the People’s
Front as an alliance with capital-
ism and believe that they are hear-
ing Socialist or “Marx’’ propa-
ganda.

They forget that in these denun-
Ciations Fascism is left out of the
picture.

The representative of Spanish
capitalism and landlordism, as
well as of foreign imperialist
domination, is Franco.

Tt is Franco the Spanish masses
must defeat.

Im order to defeat Franco they
must realize unity in a common
anti-Fascist front.

Whoever seeks to break this
front is an ally of Franco.

When this disruption reaches
armed warfare for the benefit of
Franco, its meaning should be
plain to all.

May the bloody lesson of Barce-
lona be learned, before the poison
reaches further, that Trotskyism
must be wiped out from every cor-
ner of the working-class move-
ment.

mine, mill and camp are knit to-
gether in one grim purpose, to
block the progress of international
Fascism and finally to sweep it
out of Spain.

cisely for what they are fighting.

CCF RESPONSIBILITY

1H working class and all
other progressive people

of British Columbia will
watch with keen interest the
proceedings of the annual
provincial convention of the
CCF, which will be held dur-
ing this week-end. The
course it will take, the pro-
gram adopted, the decisions
made and the leadership selected
will profoundly affect the course
of events in the province and be-
yond its borders, and will to a
considerable degree determine the
future and fate of the CCF itself.

The provincial elections of a
month ago showed that the CCE
barely marked time during the last
four years; and in viewing the re-
sults the CCF leaders make no
serious analysis, they refuse to
face realities, and try to fool them-
selves, or others, into thinking
that gains were made—despite the
fact that their party has been dis-
placed by the revived Tory party
as the official opposition and as
the party receiving the second
largest popular vote, whereas the
CCF was in second place in 1933.
In trying to explain away the drop
from second to third place the of-
ficial leadership make much of the
Connell split. But the sorry show-
ing made by the Constructivists
proves that the explanation must
be sought elsewhere.

Why It Failed.
They will be found among other
things in the failure of the leader-

ship to keep pace with events,
their “pure socialist” doctrinairian-
ism, the element of “socialism or

nothine” in its program, inatten-
tion to and lack of interest in the
daily problems and ‘needs of the
plain people, limiting their e#forts
almost parliamen-
activity, a stubborn and re-
actionary opposition to the united
front, truckling: to “respectability”
with its accompanying heresy
hunting and red baiting, the dis-
ruption of its ranks by suspending
their ablest, most advanced, most
influential and most devoted mem-
because of their advocacy
of unity in the strugsie against the
forces of exploitation and reaction,
while harboring the Trotskyist
enemies of the workings people and
even permitting them to occupy

UNITY

(Continued from Page 4)

Mackenzie King is not a Roose-
velt, and with all due respects to
Brother P. M. Draper, he can
never qualify for a John L. Lewis.
Our mass-production industries are
negligible as compared to the
USA. We have no Wagner Act to
give legal status to the rights of
organized labor. And we have a
hybrid conglomeration of “‘Cana-
dian” unions that in the main
serve aS a deterrent to trade union
unity and a weapon in the hands
of employers for keeping bona-tide
unions out of their enterprises.

Some trade unionists argue that
if all this is the case, then either
the Communist party of the USA
or the Gommunist Party of Canada
is wrong in its trade union policies
as affecting the ClO. Neither party
happens to be wrons. Both are
eoverned by one major considera-
tion. viz.: to maintain the unity
of the trade union movement in
their respective countries in keep-
ing with the existing conditions in
those countries.

Our job in Canada is to endorse
and support the principles of the
GIO. To apply them: in our own
country as proyided for in the
constitution of the Trades and La-
bor Congress of Canada, to pro-
mote campaigns for the organiza-
tion of the unorganized in every
non-union and company-unien *in-
dustry, to stimulate independent
political action of the Congress and
its affiliate unions to the end that
our economic strensth and unity
be utilized to good purpose pol-
tically, and to combat any and all
moves, irrespective of their Source,
that threaten to weaken or split
the AF of I in Canada.

progress in the last four years,
still wields a great influence in
BC, but unless it abandons its sec-
tarianism and its anti-unity posi-
tion it will not be able to retain
its following. (That the voters who
deserted the Liberal party in the
last election went over to the re-
actionary Tory party and not to
the GCF should give the present
CCE leaders furiously to think).

Putting forward the claim that
the CCE is already the united
front of all the forces opposed to
capitalist reaction is ridiculous and
fools but few. The need of the hour
is the unity of all the forces op-
posed to reaction, bringing into a
people’s front even progressives
who are not yet in fayor of social-
ism but are willing to join with
socialists and all others who want
to. fight against the advance of
Fascist reaction and for the bet-
terment of the conditions of the
people now.

Must Change Attitude.

The attitude of lofty exclusive-
ness should be done away with.
Non-socialist and even non-work-
ing class allies must be sought
and secured in the daily struggle
for a better life while capitalism
remains. And in order to attract
and win those elements as allies
in the struggle against reaction it
js necessary to form a united front
of labor which will include all
Labor political parties, trade
unions and other progressive
groups.

The anti-unity, pro-rrotskyist
policy of the Federationist which
has become a hissing and a byword
must be completely changed and
a definite and uncompromising
stand taken in support of the
Spanish people and their interna-
tional allies in their ereat strugsle
for liberty against international
Fascist reaction.

Tf the CCE measures up to its
responsinilities and opportunities,
as the Socialist parties of France
and Spain have done, it can be of
ereat service to the people of BC.
But before it can do anything it
must take a scalpel and eut out
the Trotskyist cancer that is snaw-
ing at its vitals, releasing and
poisoning its life blood. In doing
so it will go far toward the CCF
from the bonds that fetter, narrow
and restrict it and which, if not
removed will condemn it to even
ereater sterility and uitimately to
extinction,

to places where they can be most
effectively used against the un-

try getting some pointers on traf~
fie control. Some of this acquired
knowledge he proposes to put in
operation here.

One of his arguments is, that his
schemes will drive the old crates
off the streets. This, of course, will
make it easier for the Shaughnessy
speed-hogs and help swell the cof-
fers of the BG Collectrie. No com-
pensation is proposed for the
owners of these old crocks and
their ultimate destination un-
doubtedly is the shrapnel factories
of Japan, via the Vancouyer junk-

yards,

Several facts are overlooked by
this matter
that may be worth touching on.
In the first place, the men who
drive these old $25 boats are their
actual owners; they don’t belong to
some finance corporation and the
owners pay for the gas they burn.
They are more or less of a2 Neces-

Collectric consistently refuse to

are unable to make the higher
priced cars, to travel distances in
15 minutes that take two hours oP
our modern, up-to-date, Johnny-on~

system.

At the same time, in the USSR,
the Moscow Soviet is troubled with
traffic problems of the same kind
as Alderman Crone. They, too, de-
cided that the old cars must be
cleared off the streets, but they
don’t propose to send them to the
munition works and teil their
owners go suck their thumb. Cars
over a certain vintage are to be
tured over to their Soviet; their
value will be fixed by assessors
and their owners will receive @
new car and credited with the price
of the one turned in. The old cars
are to be shipped to country dis-
tricts where the work they are still
capable of may be made available.

during its 700

years existences,
has been the scene of demonstra~
tions of almost all the qualities,
emotions and mental gymnastics of
which the mind of man is capable.
Gourage, compassion, mercy,
shame, have been exressed, but in
a very minor degree, however, be-
ing hidden behind floods of ambt
tion, avarice, anger, rage, fear,
eruelty, envy, malice, prejudice,
hatred, intrigue and the insepar-
able twins bullying and toadying.
But for a sheer brutal exposition
of the rotten side of humanity
(fostered by the class character of
social life), last Friday’s display of
duplicity during the discussion of
the Spanish situation, was the
worst in all these seven centuries
of beating-about-the-bush.

The claim of Chamberlain and

Eden that their policies (siding
with the Fascist murderers), have
maintained peace in Europe, is
akin to that of the murderer who ©
gsarrotted his victim “for his own
good.” 1

While the brave Spanish people |
are being murdered and raped by
the wild animals whom the British |
ruling class, through their fear of
the workers, has let loose on
Burope, to contend that they have
maintained “peace,” is the crassest
kind of hypocricy. It justifies their
“illiterate”? victim who shouts from
the house-tops: “Don't never put
no trust in no politician, nohow?!”
Hnough negatives to make a very |
positive statement! j

It is a pleasure to turn to the >
outside where the innocence of
childhood has not been contamin? }
ated by the lies and eyasions of —
political tricksters. To learn that”
the kiddies of France, Emeland and 4
Canada are already trying to make”
amends for the crimes of their ow)
rulers, helps to take the bad taste
out of the mouth that goes with
the thought of belonging to the”
same species as those responsible
for the conditions today in Spain.

Nothing more clearly proves the
inherent goodness of the race, in
spite of what political shysters do
to make it othemwise, than the pro-
posal of Canadian boys and girls to:
build a home in Catalonia for the
orphaned children of Spain who
have been sacrificed on the ploody
Nazi cross to satisfy the lust of
Hitler and Mussolini for iron,
copper and power. T hope every
reader of this column will get solid:
ly behind our pbairns and help them
to make their objective. Tt will be
a step in making Spain the tomb
of Fascism in spite of Mussolini's
boasts.
