HAT was first intimated to

him as an affair of “princes
and bishops against the people”
turmed out to be the great stand
of the Spanish nation against in-
yvadinge international Fascism and
brought himself, Ralph lates,
writer, into the very midst of the
military struggle as political com-
missioner of the glorious 15th In-
ternational Brigade.

“J had gone up into the Catalan
mountains, in the Pyrenees, to be-
gin writing Rainbow Fish, in the
early days of July, 1936,” the
Square set military leader, famous
author and fiery orator, told me
when I interviewed him in his
Toronto hotel room.

“phe first I knew of the Fascist
uprising was when a gzoat-herd
friend came to me and told me of
fighting in the towns below.

“T asked him what the fighting
was about, and he said to me:
‘Don Rudolpho, it is an affair of
princes and bishops against the
people.’

And so Ralph Bates, author of
Lean Men and The Olive field,
postponed the writing of Rainbow
Fish and went down from the
mountain to see for himself what
the fighting meant. He learned,
and in his own words: “I was a
British democrat, resident in Spain,
I knew the people and loved them,
and did the only thing I could—
put myself at the disposal of the
Spanish government.”

He fought with the Spanish mill-
tia of those early weeks when hero-
ism alone saved the country from
the vise of reaction, when “militia
commanders would debate before
each battle on how many men
could go into the lines unarmed.
When the first line of armed men
would go over the top and behind
them came waves of unarmed mer
—dodging from rock to rock over
the red-brown waste land, split
with deep gulleys and quivering
with heat, watching their armed
comrades fall and then grabbing up
the rifle and carrying on.

‘Maenificent! but not the way to
win a war.

“You cannot resist a well-organ-
ized, well-equipped army with hero-
jsm alone. Those were nightmare
days. The non-intervention com-—
mittee had done its work well, that
is against the Spanish people.
Thousands of lives were lost, be-
eause of lack of arms and lack of
organization.

“Tt was, of course, impossible to
wait for a regular army before
halting the enemy. Spain would
have been lost to democracy. But,
the problem of a regular army, the
problem of converting the militia
into a regular army that would still
be popular and of the people, was
the great task of the zovernment.
Were I think that historians will
Jater confirm my experience that it
was the famous 5th Regiment, or-
ganized by the Communist party,
which laid the basis for the Span-
jsh regular army.”

Ralph Bates has early secured
cognizance in a world that today
demands much. Born 87 years ago
in Swindon, Wiltshire, in the north
of England, he is a railway me-
ehanic by trade, has lived “off and
on’ for many years in Spain, was
a longshoreman, a warehouse clerk,
since 1934 a writer, and today peo-
ple’s military leader.

Rainbow Fish, his latest book,
postponed when the war in Spain
broke out, was written in “my

spare time during the period of
war, when a car would break down
while traveling to and from the
front, in cafes.” Now he is- plan-
ning a novel based on the Brunete
offensive, to be called Offensive
and dealing largely with the Mac-
kenzie-Papineau and American
brigades. : ;

Fi} Tle de France, when it ar-

rived in New York recently,
brought another one of Germany’s
great writers, Ludwig Renn, driven
out of his homeland by Hitler's
Kultur.

Renn, now a Spanish citizen and
commander of the 11th Battalion of
the International Brigade, was for
more than’ 10 years an officer in
the German army and fought
throughout the World War on the
western front, Because of his rec-
ord as an army officer and be-
eause of his family name, which
is Baron Arnold Friedrich Vieth
von Golssenau, the Hitler regime
released Renn after 2% years in
concentration camps in ihe hope
that he might sell out to the Nazis._
Renn, however, escaped to Switzer-
land, where he remained until Sep-
tember, 1936, when he offered his
services as a military specialist to
the Spanish government.

As a writer Renn is known for
books like War, After War and
Death Without Battle, an indict-
ment of Fascist Germany which
was published in this country.

At the head of his battalion he
recently charged the Fascists in
the now world-famous Brunete of-
fensive. In an interview he said:
Al] my heart is in Spain. I like
the Spanish people; they are very
good soldiers and very good people.
J hope Fascism will bite off its
own tongue in China and in
Spain.”

He spoke with glowing admira-
tion of the people's army in Spain,
an untrained, sindisciplined mass
that has been transformed into a
modern army over an incredibly
short period.

TLudwie Renn is on a 8-month
speaking tour of jhe US under the

auspices of the League of American
Writers. He expects to address
sudiences in all the large cities
throughout the United States.

anada’s Democratic Forces
Are Awakening

ACK of space prevents us
from presenting the full
speech of Lim Buck, general
secretary of the Communist
party of Canada, as delivered
al Mutual Street Arena, To-
ronto, on the occasion of the
official opening session of the
recent Bighth Dominion Con-
vention of the Communist
party. Those of our readers
wishing the full text of ~The
Road Ahead for Canada” will
find it in The Clarion Weelly,
national labor - progressive
newspaper, of October 16. We
give below only one section of
the speech: “The Awakening
Forces of Democracy Guard
the Future as well as the
Present.”
VENHE keynote of the po-
litical situation in
Canada today is that of con-
flict between the growing de-
sire of the people for demo-
eratic progress and the
reactionary anti-democratic
policies of the monopoly capital-
ist interests. The Communist party
advocates people’s unity. We know
that the great mass of our people
are democratic and progressive.
People's unity is the only way for-
ward to economic improvement, the
only assurance of effective de-
fense of democracy and peace.

Tt is only the numerically small
monopoly capital interests whieh
want a reactionary regime and
they could not carry their schemes
through against the will of a
united people.

We have proposed united action
of all progressive forces as the
means by which progressive people
can continue to march forward.
We will continue to advocate
united action and to strive to
achieve it, particularly between
ourselves, the CCF and the trade
union movement. We have no nar-

mands, we give Ald. Stewart
Smuth’s report to the Highth
Dominion Convention of the
Communist party ur whach he
deals with Communist party
and CCI relations. Outstand-
ing figure in the Communist
party, Ald, Stewart Snuth has
also carucd for himself an umn-
portant niche in the municr pal
life of Canada’s Queen City.

7ENHE main conclusions for
our convention which
flow. from the report of
Comrade Tim Buck is the
urgent necessity of exerting
all our strength now to
abolish the conflict of the
CCE with our party, to establish
jn as short a time as possible at
least the most elementary forms
of cooperation and understanding
between the CCF and us on a local,
provincial and national scale.
This question is the central key,

the immediate problem of the
whole labor movement.

It has become an extremely
urgent necessity today that co-

operation and understanding be es-
tablished between the CCF and
our party because the working
class, the labor movement in Can-
ada. has entered a new phase in
its development. It has become an
extremely urgent and crucial prob-
Jem beeause the labor movement,
the working class is awakening as
never before in the struggle for
economic improvement and in this
contest, in this struggle, it is con-
fronted with new reactionary on-
slaughts of big capital and the dan-
ger of new reactionary combina-
tions aiming at measures of Fascist
repression against the strike move-
ment and the trade unions such as
we see being carried into effect in
the province of Quebec today,

It is this new development that
makes the question of cooperation
between our party and the CCF
one hundred times more urzent
today than it ever was before.
After seven- years of erisis, the
contest is Sharpening between
monopoly capital on the one hand
and the awakening forces of labor
supported by farmers and middle
elass on the other hand for pos-
session of the fruits of increased
production activity in Canada.

The strike movement and the
erowth of trade unionism is the
decisive means by which the work-
ing class is beginning to challenge

be sure of having his or her way in

row party aims in this. We do not
aim to gain party advantages or
to manoeuvre either with or
against other sections of the labor
movement for such party advan-
tages.

Our aim dictated by the needs of
the broad masses, is to ensure that
a broad movement of progressive-
minded people shall stand as a bar-
rier against the efforts of the Ben-
netts, the Colonel Drews, the Du-
plessis, the Meighens and all other
who are endeavoring to concen-
trate against progress.

~

7 emphasize the importance of

united action between our-
selves and the CCIt because this
would be a decisive step toward
the development of a broad united
front movement. We do not be-
lieve that this alone would solve
all problems but it would strensth-
en the power of the whole labor
movement to take advantage of
the opportunities which life offers
us. Unity in action between the
Communist party and the CCF is
thus an essential element in the
unity of the labor movement, and,

therefore, an indispensable element z
of the People’s~

in the building
Front.

We deplore the position of Mr.
Wroodsworth and the leadership of
the CCE. The policy of basing alt
activity upon a narrow sectarian
eonception of party interestS as
something which can be separated
from the interests of the working
class and the general progressive
movement is shortsighted and -en-
tirely wrong. Their policy of re-
jecting all forms of working class
activity except formal parliament-—
ary electioneering ‘is against the

interests of the working class
movement.
Wow, when the trade union

movement is surging forward and
the trade unionists are turning
on an increasing scale to independ-
ent political action, the duty

That is the central feature of
Canadian developments today that
makes the issue of cooperation be-
tween our party and the CCF so
decisive. This development | 1s
breaking through to the forefront
of Canadian politics in every prov-
ince in Canada.

*

HE beginning of this new

awakening of the labor move-
ment has particularly broken
through to the forefront of Ontario
politics and Quebec politics and the
moves of Hepburn in Ontario in
the direction of a reactionary
coalition under the slogan of
“Cyush the CIG and Communism,”
the crusade against the CIO and
Gommunism, indicate the extreme
danger of new reactionary com-
binations and attacks which con-
front the labor movement and the
progressive forces in Canada as 2
whole at this time.

_This same development is caus-
ing democratic elements even in
the leadership of the Liberal party
to take a stand on the side of
labor's democratic rights to organ-
jze and fight for possession of at
least a part of the fruits of in-
creased production activity and the
issue of democracy versus reaction
in Canada today directly out of the
economic struggle of the people for
economic improvement.

forces in the Liberal party that
have been carefully taken over

jnitely now to split and destroy the

trade union movement of Canada.

‘ Their aim is to prevent the reali-
zation of a wide, all-inclusive trade
union labor organization because
such a further development of
trade unionism that would become
all-embracing in the mass produc-
tion industries of Canada, would
stand as a permanent threat to
big capital.

It is for that reason, because ot
these developments, that the dan-
ger of Fascism today in Canada is
reaching a new Stage, a stage that
is characterized by the beginning
of attempts to find new forms of
reactionary combinations and at-
tempts to find new forms of re-
actionary combinations and “at-
tempts to carry into effect and def-
inite threats to carry into effect,
new measures of a Fascist repres-
sive character directed against the
erowing movement for economic
recovery of the people.

Tt is this contest, it is this con-

the struggle for peace.

Vital questions conceming Ca-
nadian people are to be discussed
and the convention will be divided
up into groups, each dealing with
a particular subject.

Of particular interest to women

Costigan, leader of the Women’s
League in the WCE, who is at

present so active in the boycott of

WE form of such political ac-

tion for the trade union move-
ment was developed in the British
Tabor movement years ago in its
advance to united labor political
action. The “‘Labor Representation
Committee’” which was
runner of the British Labor party,
conforms to Canadian trade union
tradition and fits in with present
day tirade union needs. Obviously
it is the duty of the working class
and progressive political movement
to help the development of all such
forms of trade union action on the
political field as an integral part
of the strugele to free the trade

test between labor and the pro-
sressive farmers and middle class
people in the country on tne one
hand, and bie capital on the other
hand, revolving around the issue
of economic improvement and
bringing of democracy versus Te-
action.

This contest will shake the whole
future of the Dominion oi Canada.
In this great growing movement,
at the heart of this movement, is
the Communist party and the CCF.

the Socialists and the Communists. -

This is true of every development
of the strike movement.

There is no blue-print of our

tinually opening up splendid pos-

sibilities and the possibility of

definite both in Canada and on

the international field. It finds its
clearest expression in the enthu-

by democratic people all over the

HE program of such a move-

ment of united action will not
be the program of struggle for

be a definite program accepted in

who join in the efforts to achieve
it or part of it. It Will be a pro-
eram of demands and action which
are acceptable to all progressive
people and which command united
support. Some people will empha-
size certain demands more than
others but in its totality the pro-
eram will constitute the platferm
of democratic struggle for progress
against the efforts of reaction.
Such a program would be a na-
tional program in the full sense of
the word.

parliamentary gains for labor is
nothing more or less than the con-
flict of the CClf with our party-
The CCF leaders disregarded the
development of the new Mass
movement and adopted a course of
the most narrow sectarianism,
hasine: themselves not even uporm
their own mass following; *nasin=
themselves in this course upon the
narrow inner struggles of their or-
ganization.

In those places where the CCI*
put forward as the CCH candidate
a powerful trade unionist and
where the way was open for 2
strong and effective united organi-
zation of trade union ferees behind
this eandidate, there we see a tre-
mendous vote rolled up for the
Cer eandidate

In those industrial centres where
the strike movement had its centre,
where the CCF completely disre-
esarded the development of the
new movement and on the basis of
some narrow, inner cirele of its
own organization put forward an
unknown trade unionist and block-
ed the way for a representative
Jabor candidate, there we see the
most ineffective results in the
election campaigns.

And the strongest results of all
were attained in the election, the
strongest evidence of the character
and importance of the new develop-
ments for the whole policy of the
CCF and of our own party shown
those cities where the labor
movement was blocked and exclud-
ed from cooperation with the GiGiES

sulted in the defeat of at least Six

A Pee people have the power to
achieve tremendous gains if
they were but united around such
a program. The Successes of the
reactionaries and the menace of
their threat to Canada lies precise-
ly in the disunity of progressive
forces. The Duplessis Sovernment
in Quebec does not command the
support of a majority of the peo-
ple. His anti-labor policies and
legislation, his betrayal of election
promises and his complete sub-
seryience to the imterests of the
bie capitalist interests turn more
and more people away from Du-
plessis in disgust but they are
divided. Hepburn’s swing to Tre-
action and his adoption of the role
of champion of the interests (che
the mining, lumber, paper and
stee] millionaires was 2 political
mirror in which could be seen re-
flected the fact that the reaction-
ary monopolists in Ontario were
united while the forces of progress
were divided. There is as yet no
effective concentration of progres-
sive forces and the great body of
liberal opinion bas not yet been
offered an alternative program
which makes clear the significance
of the real issues of the day.

In every, provinee and on a Do-
minion scale the urgent need of the
people is for unity against the ton-
centration of reactionary forces-
Against the drive for a reactionary
coalition and a “National sovern—

“ment” we raise the slogan of demo-

eratic people’s unity and a people's
sovernment. Against the drive to-
ward a reactionary regime, worsen-
ins conditions of life and Fascism,
we raise the slogan of a prosres-
sive regime, with rising standards
of life and ever-widening democ-
racy, toward a free and happy
Canada. That is why we declare
that people’s unity is the decisive
need today for Canada.

‘anadian Labor

munists cannot find some basis

for cooperation and understanding

and stop fighting among them-
selves?”
The most gratifying, the most

striking condemnation of this con-
flict was given by the workers of
St, Andrew riding in the city of
Toronto where they polled 6,300
votes for the labor candidate, for
Joe Salsberg, and 800 votes for the
CCE candidate. whose whole cam-
paign was directed to the defeat
of labor.

We must raise this question
therefore In a2 new and more ur-
gent form than we have ever
raised it before in the whole labor
movement. We must ask the CCF
to re-examine the Situation. Wwe
must ask them to refrain from a
repetition of their attacks upon
our party as carried through in the
last election.

We must ask them to retrain
from attacking the new develop-
ments of forms of labor, the politi-
cal expression Such as are develop-
ing in the LRA in Toronto and
such as developed in the labor
committees in the various constitu-
encies throughout the province in
the election.

*

J must carry the lessons of
this election to the widest
masses of workers; explain the
harmful consequences of this con-
flict. We have a right to say that
we pursued a policy of striving to
prevent such a eonfliet in this elec-
tion. In those places where we con-
sidered the interests of unity could
best be served by supporting the
CCF candidate, where that was
clear because of the fact that the
CCF candidate, even though reject-
ing the fight for unity, was strong
enough to give an expression of
the labor vote, we did everything
in our power to have the labor can-
didates withdraw.

But in those places where the
CCE had no right to oppose the de-
velopment around the trade unions
ef a united labor committee as 2
force and expression of the pro-
eressive movement in the elegtion,
eur policy was absolutely correct
in supporting the labor candidates
against the CCF and in every case

our policy has been completely
vindicated by the results of the
election.

These lessons of the election in

Ontario must cause us to re-
examine our whole fight for co-
operation betsveen our party and

OLLYWOOD.—vVittorio Musso-
lini may have made Hollywood
very Pascist-conscious- Word ras
already gone out of the snubs re-
ceived by the junior Duce from
George Jessel and others. What
hasn't been said is that at the
famous party given fer Fittorio by
misguided Hal Roach, no stars
consented to pase with Italy's hero.
The only available pictures were
6f= Vittorio with Roach and his
entourage, but the Stars who had
been forced to attend for reasons
of studio politics turned their heads
away when they couldn’t manase
to get out of the camera range.
There can no longer be any doubt
where the majority of Hollywood

people stand politically. . -

So Paramount has started a
subtle campaign to ingratiate its
new import, Isa Miranda, with
American fans. Isa, whom D*An=
nunzio calis the “Duse of the
cinema,” is in perrectly good stand-
ing in Italy, and presumably ad-
mires Mussolini. Therefore, con=
sciously or unconsciously, almost
every publicity story about the
Star carries a little dig at the Duce.
In one story, they tell of Tsa hav-
ing been stopped by two traffic
eops on Holly wood Boulevard—and
completely ignoring them. When
asked why she disregarded the
uniforms, She responded: “You see,
in Italy, there are too many sol-
diers, 2nd many of them are teo
officious.” Elsewhere, she is quoted
as saying= that no one in Italy pays
attention to traffic laws. A of
which may make it very uncom-
fortable for Isa when she returns
to the land of the ducky Duce:

the CCE. We musi find ways now
as a matter of urgent and press-
ine necessity to strenethen and re-
new the fight coneretely in keep-
ine with the present situation as
jit actually exists in each locality
to abolish the competition of the
CCE with our party, to abolish this
eonflict and establish 4 basis for
cooperation 2 nd understanding
with the CCF.

Between now and the attainment
of such a broad people's front,
there must be 2 period during
which we will resolutely fight for
and achieve a basis of genuine co-
operation and understanding be-
tween our party and the CCF on 4
provincial stale.

The key to the solution of this
problem is the development of the
mass movement for economic im-
provement.

In the fisht for the defensive,
trade union rights, for enactment
of Bill 62. in the fight in the mu-
nicipal field, for reforms in the
interests of economic improvement

for the people, particularly in the

strike movement which is the
backbone of the whole develop-
ment of the fight for economic im-
provement, we must adopt co-
operation between our party and
the CGE and we must do it in
new Ways
erowing new movement.

in keeping with this”
