TWO OBLIGATIONS =—_—. _ By TREVOR McGUIRE. It was last November that General Franco boasted that | in a matter of days he would begin the great offensive that would crush loyalist resistance | and end the war in Spain. This offensive has not yet taken place. It was rendered impossible by the loyalist attack on the Teruel sector which taxed Franco’s defensive resources so severely that his army is not capable of conducting a major offensive against loyalist positions. The loyalist tactic of smashing his of- fensive before it could get under Way was a brilliant piece of work reflecting the high qualities of the Republican general staff. not shrink from giving full material Teruel was recognized immedi- ately as one of the greatest loyal- ist victories of the war, but it is only now that its importance is fully- realized, for not only was Hranco’s plan of offense thwarted completely, but competent military observers are saying that Teruel marks the definite transfer of of- fensive action to the loyalist armies. Hranco himself realizes his weak- mess and has atked Mussolini for 90;000 additional Italian troops to carry on his campaign. Without them, he says, yictory cannot be #uaranteed. But here again the military experts express doubt whether, even with an additional 50,000 soldiers, Hranco can guar- amtee anything. Unable at present to make any substantial advance on land, the insurgent general is concentrating on large scale bomb- ing operations. It is almost a daily eceurence to read of hundreds be- ing stricken from the skies in Barcelona and Valencia, both cities far from the battlefront. The people of Madrid have not weakened during more than a year of savage raids, and there is no reason to believe the people of Barcelona and Valencia will not display the same fortitude. TB Still Needed The troops that captured Terudaé were of the New Spanish Army; the units of the International Brigades were not engaged. But! the fact that the Spanish militia | has reached the point where it can undertake major operations—and successiully—should not be taken to mean that there is uo longer need for the International Brigades. The war in Spain may last for a year or two years yet. Mussolini and Hitler have gone too far in in- tervening, have sunk too much gold, to withdraw because of Franco’s Teruel defeat. There is every reason for believing that they will ship more men and materials for the imsurgent forces, and embark upon greater measures of ‘totalitarian warfare’ than they have yet used. ‘The International Brigades wall be needed until the insurgent forees are crushed and rendered incapable of further resistance, until ‘Spanish democracy is rend- fascist threat. And as long as there are Canadians in Spain fighting for peace and democracy there should be no let-up in the work for their support. When the Canadian battalion was formed large numbers of the Ganadian people were thrilled with pride, and the conduct of this bat- talion since, its record for profi- ciency and its courage, have fully justified an even greater pride on our part back home. Fascism On Two Fronts It is true that the desperate situ- ation of the Chinese people calls for our support; Canadians have been asked, and are responding generously, to contribute medical supplies, etc., for China. But be- eause of the need for support for the Ghinese people, the need to fullfil the obligations undertaken in regard to Spain must not be relegated to secondary position. - Whereas Canadians have a great responsibiltiy towards Spain, they now have an additional one to- wards China. Neither should tale precedence over the other. ’ Fascism is being fought on two fronts, Spain and China, and it is not possible to say that a fascist victory in either country would be of less importance than it would in the other. Fascism must be de- feated on both fronts. To enable those who are in the actual battle- line to win victory for democracy we far behind in the rear, must support to both Spain and China.

No Truth In Hendaye Reports the same typewriters. This is the twelfth time this splendid body of Americans from every state in the union has ap- peared as “exterminated” in lying teleerams and broadcasts from fascist sources and they tell me they are too busy to deny it any more. T would advise pecple at home to pay no attention to idiotie tele- grams from Hendaye, except as in- dications that things are happen- ing in Spain that the fascists don’t want to tell the truth about. ZT recently returned from a visit to the American volunteers and have never seen better spirits, bet- ter health under conditions of trench warfare. Old makeshift methods have given way to build- ing regular army discipline. Cana- dian volunteers in the Mackenzie- Papineau Battalion seem to have the edge on the Yankees just now and competition between Canadian, American and SBritish battalions for the distinction of having the best soldiers is keen. Loyalists Superior. The truth is that the mass of Spanish recruits astonished every- one by forging ahead in discipline and fighting capacity, excelling some of the seasoned veterans of the relatively small International Brigade. . The Spaniards started with dis- advantages—no military experi- ence, no officer cadres, tradition of hatred of discipline because it was associated with old monarch- ism—militarism. Under our eyes, now Spanish recruits have trans- formed themselves into the skilled army rhat captured Teruel. The fascists are evidently making prestige the question by heavy concentrations and taking enor- mous losses. Presently, war tech- nique is stronger in defensive than in offensive power. Nevertheless, it is usually possible for either side to bend back the other’s line at al- most any given point if it is willing to pay the price for it. So far, the fascists have mainly failed in this. Even if their efforts te recapture Teruel succeed, the fact will still remain that the Re- publican Army is now rising “above the fascist forces. 6000 Italians, Askaris Killed LONDON, England, Feb. 3. — Premier Mussolini is reported to be rushing reinforcements to Bthi- opia to help put down a new up- rising.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3-—(FP)— The CIO will remain one united body despite “certain top-heavy leaders of labor who have been making little advances to the AF of i, without consent of their membership,” President Michael J. Quill of the Transport Workers Union and an American Labor party member of the city council declared here. Speaking at an installation cere- mony for newly-elected officers of the New York local, Quill support- ed the CIO position that the AF of L accept it as a complete unit. Winety per cent of the member- ship of the federation were for “one big inclusive union in the US,” he said. CIO Director John Brophy, who also addressed the meeting, de- elared that “peace must come on the terms and conditions laid down by the CIO. “This is really the inside of the |, CIO—a success unparalleled throughout this country or any other. It means that those who in- dulge in idle criticism of the CIO in the name of labor are anything but friends.

Gonvineced that the solution toe the present intolerable milk situa- tion in Vancouver lies with the consumer, and that with a proper and vigorous campaign a wide movement can be developed quick- ly for cheaper and better milk, not at the expense of the farmer but of the innumerable distributing agencies, W. R. -Bradbury an- nounces this week his intention of organizing such a movement. With a maximum of 25,000 gal- lons of milk delivered in Vancou- ver, a city of around 40,000 homes, Bradbury maintains “it is idiocy to distribute this relatively small quantity of milk by means of no less than 550 wagons which weave and cross Vancouver streets every day. é Bradbury hits “the duplicated service of 17 dairies with pasteuri- zation plants in the city and over 200 producer-vendors seeking busi- ness by poaching on competitive territories. His intention is to campaign for establishment of a Consumers League*to be based on changing the present milk situa- tion. ‘ He proposes to explain the actual milk situation to families in a given area, show them how a Con- sumers League will benefit them, and then obtain their pledges to buy milk from the League. With given areas pledged to sup- port the League, the distribution problem will solve. itself, Bradbury believes, and a genuine cooperative movement can be built later. Bradbury made many friends during the telephone campaign for lower rates, of which he was or- ganizer. The 20,000 signatures ob- tained in the petition campaign, Bradbury states, “is proof that the public will accept a good, honest proposition. The great obstruction of a powerful monopoly, such as the BC Telephone company, does not exist in the milk business and therefore the public cannot be frustrated in such a manner, he maintains, Enquiries can be made at i114 Penarill street, Trinity 5748-R. Part-Time Farming Said No Way Out WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 3.— sidered the “way out” for unem- ployed persons or thoSe on relief, a recent study by the Works Pro- gress Administration on) part-time farming declares by way of an in- direct answer to -those who argue for garden plots for the unem- ployed. In an analysis of the WPA study, Farm Research commented, “The experience of the last five years clearly shows that part-time farming is no solution either for the problems of the farmer or the city worker. Instead of offering security it merely dooms families to scarcity.” The WPA study finds that “a cash income job is indispensable to any part-time farming under- taking” but that the problem of creating such cash income jobs comes back to the basie problem of unemployment. The chief prob- lem, according te the WPA, is how to aid the families now engaged in part-time farming, Part-time farming cannot be con. | tor wages -that a well-filled pay The question of compulsory Demand of City Health Officer ~ Dr. W. J. McIntosh for compulsory pasteurization of milk was empha- sized by him in the recent typhoid epidemic when he declared that “all things being equal, it is better to pasteurize milk.” Officials of the Fraser Valley Milk Prducers Association told a PA reporter this week that milk vendors are at the mercy of cur- rent opinion on the subject. The general fear is that, with health officials favoring pasteurization, an epidemic will break out, with the possibility that a particular yen= dor’s unpasteurized milk will be declared responsible and a ruined business result. @Qne vendor who takes great pre- cautions in handling all milk, in- medical examina- tions of employees, they stated, 1s eluding weekly ever, are fighting the proposed Pasteurization To Come Before Council in Vancouver which is expected to come before the city council shortly is meeting with a mixed reception, not only from or- ganizations which have campaigned consistently on this point, but also from smaller groups and individuals.

DENTISTS The Ganada Poultryman, pub-¢ lished in Vancouver, commenting on this decline in its January is- sue, suggests an advertising cam- paign to educate the public to the value of eggs as a food, calling on all poultrymen to sign and forward a petition to the federal minister of > agriculture in an effort to secure an appropriation of $100,000 for J the proposed campaign. : Possibly it may help, yet one has the uneasy feeling that there will be a lot of nonsense attached an “eat more eggs” campaign. Cana- dians still like their bacon and eggs, that is, if they can afford the bacon and eggs. Many poultrymen will remember when they worked envelope meant plenty of bacon: and eges in every Canadian home. A better campaign would be to go after one of the main causes for the poor livelihood obtained from egg production in BC—the milling companies. These outfits, which control the feed supply, get 100 per cent and over the cost of feed landed in Vancouver and WNew Westminster or interior points. The result is that many, even farmers, are forced to dispense with flocks which would at least have supplied their own table and perhaps help to pay grocery bills. Wo farmer can afford to feed a hundred or two hens. The feed prices are too prohibitive. A bold spirit of organization among poultrymen to begin an or- ganization or movement for pres- sure to be brought on outrageous practices of the milling companies, would soon attract hundreds in the business.
