Boycott Japan
OYCOTT Japan! Daily, as the ruthless-

ness, the hypocrisy, the barbarity of Japa-
nese imperialism becomes more apparent, the
demand grows for a boycott of Japanese goods
and an embargo on the export of munitions and
war materials to Japan. Here is the voice of
the peace-loving people of Canada, a yoice
which no government professing to represent
the people can ignore.

Liberal associations, CCF elubs, Communist
party branches, mass organizations, trade un-
ions, churches and women’s groups in this proy-
ince and throughout Canada have already en-
dorsed the boycott and thousands of people are
now refusing to buy Japanese goods.

Here, on the Pacific, we realize the menace
of Japanese imperialism acutely. We know
that unless we cry a halt to the boundless am-
bitions of Japan’s militarists then, sooner or
Jater, death may be rained from the sky upon
our cities in an extension of ““andeclared war.”
Tt must not be forgotten that J apan’s plans for
domination of the Pacific include ultimately a
war with the United States.

But Japan’s economy is particularly reliant
upon other countries for raw materials, while
she can obtain the necessary finances to con-
tinue her aggression in China only by exporting
heavily to other countries. Therefore, a boy-
cott of Japanese goods and an embargo on war
materials must bring her to her knees. Ger-
many and Italy, the two other states in the
Fascist triumvirate now threatening world
peace are in 10 position to render economie aid
to Japan over any long period. Their own in-
ternal Gconomies are precariously near col-
lapse and haye been preserved only at the ex
pense of the living standards of the people.

The heroic defence of the Chinese people,
united as never before in defence of their coun-
try against savage invasion, has stirred the
whole world. And in the victory of the Chinese

people over Japanese imperialism no less than
in the triumph of the

Boyeott Japan! The King government must
be foreed to accede to the demands of the Ca-
nadian people. British Columbia’s own natural
resources are being plundered to feed the in-
<atiable Japanese war machine and Canada’s
profit-greedy economic royalists must not be
allowed to amass further wealth from the
slaughter of Chinese women and children.

The McDonald Case
A TIT some of the biggest charitable organ-

izations in the city in the middle of a
collection campaign and others preparing the
publie through clever eonyineing advertise
ments, for organized giving om a bige@er seale,
John McDonald, sick and destitute ex-Service-
man, was fined $5 this week for soliciting with-
out a license, a charge which can also be applied,
but isn’t. to all the other organizations.

Truth is that the police department is an-
noyed at the ex-servicemen telling citizens of
their treatment by a grateful government
which leaves them penniless, with the object
of once again regimenting them. Then again,
interlopers are looked upon with a jaundiced
eye by the Welfare Federation with its pres-
ent ambitious campaign.

When the provincial government cut oft
relief of all veterans up to the age of 55, it
was not taken lying down. Canadian and
British ex-servicemen gave a shock to Vancou-
yer when they paraded with slogans and asked
alms from the sidewalks. They were sent to
Oakalla for their temerity mm refusing to starve.

Recognizing public indignation and claim-
ing that veterans. were being looked after, a_
scheme to herd them into billets and ware-
houses was offered by Victoria, but was indig=
nantly rejected by the ex-servicemen. \

Leaflets distributed to the public told of a
squabble between two charity organizations
over the allowance proyided for destitute vet-
erans by the provincial government. The men
would have none of it. Instead they threw
fhemselves into an enerectic campaign through-
out the city publicizing their case and soliciting:
fimds. Their solidarity and eomradeship was
shown when: at the end of every day, all funds
were pooled and each man received 60 cents.

By this method, Major Fordham’s billets
and Central City Mission were kept vacant,

from the
ie) reaniza-

and the 43 cents a day allowance
government has not reached these
f1ens.

Jobn McDonald’s conviction is intended to
drive these ex-servicemen into charitable in-
stitutions, keep them off the streets and with-
hold their rightful allowance of 43 cents a day,
which previously permitted them to eat and
sleep where they chose.

The threat of $5 fine hangs over all vet-
erans who desire to maintain freedom of move-
ment by keeping away from charity schemes.
Organized official solicitation is winked at-

The affair is by no means over. A get-
together of progressive organizations is plan-
ned by the Canadian Labor Defense League
ovér the two questions involved—the legal ri eht
to solicit-and a new deal for destitute veterans:

Sounding an Alarm

T IS two weeks now since the People’s Advo-

eate-Clarion joint press drive for $3,000
officially commenced. In those two weeks only
#560 has been received, and we cannot help but
feel concerned. If the total of $3,000 is to be
realized within the next four weeks, then
certainly we must all redouble our etrorts.

This is a drive in which every progressive
ean assist in one of several ways. Why not hold
a house party im aid of the press, or get your
organization to Sponsor a social evening and
donate th eproceeds to the drive? If you're not
already subscribing to either the People’s Ad-
voeate or the Clarion Weekly, why not talke
out a elub subseription which entitles you to
both papers for six months for only $1.502
Tf you are already getting these papers, then
why not invest two or four-bits in a donation
certificate 4

So long as the $3,000 goal is unattained,
so long is the work of this paper and the Clarion
hampered and their very existence endangered.
Never before has the need been greater for a
widely-circulated, influential progressive press
speaking for the trade unions, the farmers, for
the whole of the working and progressive mid-
dle clases. The smoke arising from the burminge
cities of China, the bodies strewn amid shat-
tered Ethiopian villages, the shell-torn streets
and houses of Madrid, all these are the ultimate
horrors of a Fascist ‘‘civilization” for which,
even now, reactionaries in this country are at-
tempting to prepare us.

bai

The labor-progressive press 18 indispensable
to the cause of democracy. Where else can the
people find expression for their demands itor
higher wages and better living conditions ¢
Where elsé will economic injustice be exposed ?
Where else will organized labor find a cham-
pion for its rights? Where else will our demo-
cratic rights and liberties be defended trom
those who already control the capitalist press 2
_ We aska tangible answer to these questions
in the form of financial support for the press
drive and, knowing the temper of the people
of British Columbia, we haye no doubt it will
be readily fortheomins.

Women to the Fore

T IS increasingly eyident that women are
awakening to the-vital role they can play in
fighting for the rights of the people.

This week in the courts and the city hall of
Vancouver, delegations from the Mothers’
Council and the Women’s Labor League de
fended the less fortunate members of their sex
and met rebutfs with persistance in their at-
tempt to gain means of existence for the wait-
resses dismissed from the Chinese cates.
When the city refused help on the question,
the Mothers’ Council decided to back the girls
in their appeal for relief; failing this, they
would assist them if they took tin cans on the
streets with the single unemployed.

Not only has the Mother’s Couneil and
\Vomen’s Labor League supported the wait-
resses, but they are carrying on an active
eampaign for the unemployed boys. All sorts
of petitions are received at the Mother’s Coun-
el, and none are turned down if there are
ands to meet the requirements.

The women’s department of the League
for Peace and Democracy, the Girls’ Shock
Brigade and women’s sewing cireles all over
the city are showing what can be done for the
Spanish Loyalists and the Canadian boys fight-
ing in Spam, by obtaining clothes, food and
money to send to Spain.

When such progressive women’s oreaniza-
tions get together and work shoulder to
shoulder, we Gan expect to see some action.
All organizations would do well to follow the
example set by these militant women fightine
for the welfare of their fellow men and women,
