Words Can’t Satisfy
Hunger

X JITH great ballyhoo the

provincial government
has put forward its relief job
scheme. It proposes to pro-
vide transportation to single
unemployed who wish to re-
turn to the prairies, and to
absorb seven’ or eight hun-
dred more in mining and for-
estry training camps in BC.

This scheme does not alter
the plight of the single unem-
ployed. No doubt a small
number of them will accept
tickets to the East, but what
prospect do they face on the
prairies where the dust
storms are already raging?
Certainly, the farms will not
be able to provide work for
them, particularly at this time
when the seeding will be
about over. If they could be
guaranteed, say, three months
employment on public works
in the prairie provinces, then
practically all of them would
jump at the chance. As it is,
they are simply offered the
alternative of starving in the
wide open places or in the
BE mountains.

And what about the young
Britishers who haye no home
either here or on the prairies?

- Are they to be condemned to
starvation in any case?

The opening of the mining
and forestry training camps
is but a half-hearted way of
tackling the question: of em-

‘ployment. It seems that those
who will be called into these
camps will be mostly youths
who have finished school and
who have neyer worked be-
fore. Consequently, this will
reduce the number of the
single unemployed hardly at
all.

There is only one way to
meet the situation, and that is
with a program of public
works for which there is a
erying need.

The dire plight of the single
unemployed in Vancouver is
still unsolved. The question
of when do they eat is still
unanswered.

Pattullo Opposes
National Unity

REVOER LT. D. Pattullo at
© Agassiz slammed those
who ask for more centraliza-
tion of power in the Dominion
government. He suggested
that those who ask it should
go down East and witness the
ignorance there of BC condi-
tions.

Surely a poverty-stricken
plea?

In denying the need for na-
tional government with power
+o act for the nation as a
whole, Pattullo finds himself
in suspicious Company. This
denial is the theme song of
Premiers Hepburn and Du-
plessis—the chief spokesmen
for the opponents of Cana-
dian progress:

Pattullo in his brief ot the
Rowell Commission pointed
out how BC was being dis-
eriminated against in the way
of tariffs, freight rates and
high monopoly prices exacted
by eastern capitalists.

Yet, for the sake of an
empty provincialism, he de-
nies to Ottawa the power to
unify this country and get rid
of the constitutional consti-
pation which threatens the
national health.

What about unemployment
imsurance? Health insur-
ance? Revised taxation? So-
cial and labor laws? He
knows that none of these can
work on a provincial scale.

Not only that. In denying
federal authority to legislate
modern laws to meet modern
national requirements un-
known to Sir John A. Mac-
Donald, he is acting against
the interests of western peo-
ple, who find their chief ene-
mies in the gang-up between
Hepburn and Duplessis, those
friends of eastern big busi-
ness and enemies of western
agriculture:

Does the BC Liberal party
agree with its leader? We

feel sure there are thousands

who voted Iiberal who defi-
nitely disagree.

It is high time they, along
with the progressive move-
ments outside the Liberal par-
ty, took measures to make
sure Pattullo won’t travel the
Hepburn route.

BC’s people want none of
the scandalous, anti-Canadian
actions which have disgraced
the governments of Ontario
and Quebec. And the way to
make sure this will not hap-
pen here is to demand demo-
cratic national unity for social
security. That is the issue
and on it Pattullo must be
compelled to act.

July $ — Fateful Day

HE DOMINION govern-

ment has up to July 8 to
exercise its powers to disallow
the Padlock Law of Quebec.

The general unpopularity
of this fascist legislation was
recently seen in ‘Toronto,
where the combined efforts of
the League for Peace and De-
mocracy and the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporatiqn
were required to find a man
to defend it over the air. Only
after several days was one
found in the shape of a To-
ronto parson known for his
anti-democratic views.

Liberal and even Conserv-
ative members of parliament
have expressed their condem-
nation of the law. Even Col.
Drew, the budding feuhrer of
Ontario politics, saw fit to de-
nounce it.

Yet the very government
at Ottawa which was elected
on a program of a return to
democratic government hesi-
tates to act, and lets the days
and months slip by. We can
see one reason for this — the
bloe of Quebec Liberal votes
which may be lost by dis-
allowance.

But if Mackenzie King
places that consideration
above the defence of civil lib-
erty, for whieh his grand-
father was prepared to give
his life, then he is worship-
ping false gods. The people of
this country would back him
in the event he disallowed the
Padlock Law, Quebee reac-
tionaries notwithstanding.

Time is short. Premier King
has responded before now to
public pressure. An ava-
lanche of resolutions demand-
ing action before July 8 will
help him decide to act for de-
mocracy.

Who Interviewed
Whom?

HROUGHOUT the long

duration of the Spanish
war distorted stories of imag-
ined happenings have ap-
peared constantly in the daily
press. When Franco headed
the fascist revolt against the
democratically - elected gov-
ernment more than one reac-
tionary newspaper tried to
make out that the government
had revolted against the trait-
orous generals and that the
government was never elect-
ed at all, or, if it was, then it
achieved its victory by cor-
ruption at the polls.

There may be the excuse
in printing fascist - inspired
despatches that the editor
eannot verify their authority
at this distance. But there can
be no excuse when first-hand
information is so distorted and
misrepresented as to be al-
most unrecognizable in print.

This is what happened in
the city this week when Bob
Bouchette interviewed Tom-
my Sims, New Westminster
man who recently returned
from Spain, for the Province.

True, Bouchette did not
give Sims much opportunity
to speak. He tried to get
Sims to tell him what he
wanted to think was fact and
what Sims did tell him did
not appear in print. Bouchette
could have achieved the
identical result by interview-
ing himself in a beer parlor.

Perhaps Bouchette’s mind
was already made up. Per-
haps he has his own definition
of what is fact and what fic-
tion as far as the war in Spain
is concerned. If so, he should
take up fiction writing. With
his talents he could go far.

The freedom of the press is
a fundamental democratic
heritage of the people. God
knows, wealthy newspaper
combines and the interests
they represent have made
mockery enough of this herit-
age. It is the duty of news-
papermen, decent enough as a
whole and workers whose
welfare is linked with that of
other workers, to safeguard
the vaunted freedom of the
press by reporting facts. The
fiction can best be left to the
propagandists for fascism.

Traitors All

By Tom Ewen

HE full import of the Moscow trials of Bukharin and company are now becoming more clear to Ca-

nadian labor. In some circles these trials were regarded as a “Russian phenomena’—and a bad one at
that. Many well-meaning but illusioned middle-class elements who shed a few ultra-democratic tears for
these Trotskyist wreckers are now beginning to realize that their sympathies were misplaced. It is now
being realized that instead of a “Stalinist drama,” cal culated to whitewash unachieved objectives in socialist
construction, that the trials were a decisive offensive of the Socialist Fatherland against the enemies of
peace, against fascist aggression, agents and provocateurs, against the enemies of the international working

Nor was the sympathy for these wreckers and murderers confined to middle-class circles alone. The

Trotskyist elements in the ranks of the socialist parties and in the trade unions pursue their anti-united front
activities and expound their “pure” socialist theories with loud wails against the liquidation of their traitorous contreres.

These so-called “old Bolshe-
viks” whom State Prosecutor
Vishinsky characterized as dead-
ly poisonous reptiles, are “canon-
ized” by their brothers of the
Trotskyist cloth in Canada, but
the halo of martyrdom ill fits
the murderers of the beloved
Gorky or the revolutionary Kirov,
ill fits these wreckers who would
have sold the great Russian
people back into capitalist cap-
tivity for thirty pieces of fascist
silver.

HIS well-directed blow by the

USSR against the agents of

Woman’s
Diary

By Wictoria Post

HIS column has a new reader,

none other than the vocifer-
ous proponent of fascism, Tom
McInnes, who, if you will recall,
was removed from the air some
months ago when radio listeners
could no longer endure his mis-
statements, to say nothing of the
strain on radio tubes.

Now he is back again, on sta-
tion CBR, if you please, and duti-
fully following the line of the
Industrial Association (they used
to call it the Citizens’ League,
put the Gitizen dropped out), by
equoting from the People’s Adyo-
eate, including this column. He
terms us “pacifists.”’ Well,
strongly supporting Hitler, Mus-
solini, Franco and “J’Aime Ber-
lin” Ghamberlain, as the French
call him, he wouldn’t be interest-
ed in peace, anyway.

It's interesting. to mote, and a
reflection on the policy of the
GBR, that Tom McInnes, an
avowed fascist, can speak over
the GBC station here, while the
Civil Liberties Union in Toronto
is held up when it applies to the
corporation for air time, because
of a ruling on “controversial sub-
jects.”” Am I to assume that the
GBG here does not consider fas-
cism a controversial subject?

@
HEN I enquired in Spencer’s
this week about the new or-
der of sheer lisle hose expected
this month, the assistant told me
she had so many orders for them
she was afraid they would all be
sold out before they had been in
the store two days. Could she
take my telephone number and
let me know immediately they
came in so that I wouldn’t have
to wait for the next order? I'll
say she could! How's that for
effectiveness of the boycott, Mr.
Meinnes?

IN a recent test of canned peas,

Consumers’ Union found five
buds of nightshade, the poison-
ous plant known as belladonna,
in one can. This is sufficient to
cause immediate death. The can
had been packed by Libby’s. Al-
though there is no indication that
other cans of Libby’s peas contain
poison, the US Food and Drug
Administration is taking steps to
seize any remaining part of the
shipment. The taste of belladonna
is easily recognized by its bitter-
ness, so if you are the least bit
suspicious of the “goodness” of a
Can of peas, aon’t hesitate, throw
it out!

Consumers’ Union found that
many of the poorer quality peas
cost just as much as those of the
highest grade. Grade © have just
as much food value as the larger
Size peas. Best buys include Del
Monte, Blue and White, and IGA.

Tests of 56 cans of apricots
showed that 40 were below the
government standards for drained
weight of fruit. Good and inex-
pensive brands include Libby's,
Marco, IGA, and Country Club.

Ss
AGAW marriages are the vogue
nowadays in Germany. In
place of hymns, “Deutschland
Uber Alles” and the Nazi “Horst-
Wessel Songs” are sung to the ac-
companiment of a military band.

A portrait of Hitler is hung
conspicuously over the altar, and
instead of the priest's address, a
pamphiet is read stating: “You
are united in WNational-Socialist
world philosophy. Your German-
ism did not let you rest until you

recognized Christianity as an
alien teaching.”
Another type of ceremony re-

quires the couple to sit in front
of a fire bowl and recite “Mar-

riage is a fortress of German
blood. It is a gateway to immor-
tality.”

Careful rehearsals of these

ceremonies ensure that there are
no hitches!

the highest political circles of the
Soviet Union, forced the fascist
powers, particularly in the Euro-
pean theatre, to seek new re-
allignments.

Tl” Duce blew twenty million
dollars of borrowed money at
Bank of Hngland current rates
of interest to give Der Fuehrer a
Reman blow-out. Had Moscow
not liquidated Der Fuehrer’s
agents, the latter may not have
felt it necessary just at this time
to go to Italy and woo Il Duce
on the matter of Czechoslovakia
and African colonies, the same Il
Duce he so recently double-
erossed on the Austrian coup.

Had Moscow not stamped out
the counter-revolutionary trait—
ors within the territory of the
USSR, Hitler would already have
been imposing his fascist brutal-
ity on Czechoslovakia—relying on
his agents in the USSR, who
staked every desperate act on
war and foreign invasion to keep
the USSR from coming to the de-

fense of Czechoslovakia’s inde-
pendence.
Hitler’s “steel axis from the

Baltic to Sicily’ that he has
forged (the word seems to fit fasc-
ist diplomacy) will not compen-
sate for the loss to fascism en-
tailed by the Moscow trials.

@

VEN the fact that Chamber-

lain is applying the “save-the-
frane” thumb-screw to Daladier
and requesting that Czechoslova-
kia submit meekly to Hitler's
blandishments does not fill the
gap. Trotskyist counter-revolu-
tionary activity —provoking dis-
order and chaos — resorting to
cold-blooded murder and assissi=
nation — demoralizing the Red
Army and State forces in the
USSR—all this was of infinitely
more value to MHitler’s bloody
march over Hurope than Musso-
lini’s Roman holiday. More valu-
able even than Chamberlain's aid
to fascist foreign policy.

Eiven for Chamberlain and the
die-hard British ruling class the
extermination of the Trotskyist
vermin in the USSR has been a
severe blow.

Chamberlain’s financial thumb-
serew tactics on France has its
parallel in the days of Peel and
the French revolution, to liquidate
the revolution. To break the
Franco-Soviet pact of collective

security. To break the united
struggle for peace of the French
and British people. To fit in with
Britain’s traditional policy of the
“balance of power’; that is, never
to let any group of states become
so unified on an economic or
peace basis, as to necessitate
pulling your own chestnuts out of
the fire.

Wo one realized better than that
erafty pro-fascist Hnglish gentle-
man, Neville Chamberlain, what a
wallop the USSR gave to fasc-
ism and imperialist machinations
by the cleaning out of the “bloc
of Rights and Trotskyites.’ But
being a “gentleman” he couldn't
fulminate against bolshevism
with the same vociferousness as
Rome, Berlin or Tokyo. So, with
staid English aplomb he fits into
Shakespearian characterization of
‘nerfidious Albion” with start-—
ling perfection and hides his re-
grets at the passing of his de-
ceased co-conspirators by new
allignments to help fill the gap
created by their timely demise —
allignments hatched in the gen-
trel environs of “Clivenden.”

And along this malodorous trail
the peace-loving and democratic
people are being dragged by the
supine wishy-washy subservience
of the King government to Cham-
berlain’s foreign policy—a policy
evolved in the councils of fascist
hangmen and Trotskyist wreck-
ers.

IN THE Report of Court Pro-

ceedings, in the case of the
Anti-Soviet Bloc of Rights and
Trotskyists, sold by New Era
Publishers, Toronto, the activities
of the fascist agents stand out
with startling clearness.

The myth of “old Bolshevik,”
of “revolutionaries fighting for
a political line” is exploded. Fasc-
ist agents—traitors to the USSR
and to the whole working class—
instigation of war and counter-
revolution—that is their role.

Here, it is denying the need for
a People’s Front — denying the
need for unity—denying the so-
cialist construction of the USSR
for the “pure” socialism of
Trotsky.

Their counter-revolutionary ac-
tivities extended not only to Ber-
lin, Tokyo and London, but to
Canada as well. Chamberlain, as
the master strategist and organ-

news services in order to be in a
position to compete with the

ibeen brought up to look for daily

Criticism

Editor, People’s Advocate:

Dear Sir,—I am sending you 2
problem on which I earnestly de-
sire sympathetic understanding
and cooperation from your paper.

Realizing the great need for
such a paper as yours and the
benefit in this district where it
is most read in helping us to or-
ganize the people, we have been
doing all in our power to spread
its influence over as wide a sec-
tion of the community as possible.

But we are being met with a
eriticism of a sort which, in our

opinion, you could successfully
deal with.
The issues dealt with in the

Advocate are, to the general run
of rural people whom we contact,
of very slight interest. It is neces-
sary in order to interest them on

Forum

the broad issues to first show
them that the Advocate also
understands their problems. This
must be done simply and direct-
ly as they are not yersed in the
meaning of class consciousness
and the language and ideas of
those who are devoting their time
to a study of the world situation.
Even their own struggle goes
over their heads as they miss the
connecting link.

They want to know about the
market board, the poultry busi-
ness, the dairying problem, These
are things that must be dealt
with and the connection between
these and the political situation,
the Oriental question, fascism,
the war in Spain explained. And
these links in the situation must
be constantly stressed and ex-
pounded for them.

In our own particular munici-
pality the local press is most ad-
versely critical of everything con-
nected with the reiief situation,
the unemployed and the Langley
Ratepayers and Workers Associa-
tion. Its editor will not (natural-
ly) print any letters too critical
of his policy. Everything possible
is done to increase the gap be-
tween the employed and those on
relief.

Thank you for letting me take-
up so much of your space, but
remember that we are doing our
best to secure readers for the Ad-
vocate and we expect you to do
your best with the problems of
these people or our own efforts
are in vain. Mrs. M.

lt Would
Move Us, Too

Editor, People’s Advocate:

Dear Sir,—I was moved to this
effort by an article which ap-
peared in the Vancouver Sun re-
cently. Obviously the writer of
the article interviewed the of-
ficialdom for his information. It
was entitled: “Contented Work-
ers!” Such propaganda is relied
upon to keep a steady flow of
men coming to the mine to aug-
ment the gangs which are being
depleted at the rate of 40 men—
through discontent.

Unless I am misinformed, Bri-
tannia is the only large camp
remaining in BC which clings to
the old system of double-check
bunks-complete with bed bugs,
and all the inconvenience that
goes with them. The meals are

on par with the bunks. Irish
Turkey, strawberries, ala CPR
and like delicacies. H. S.

Britannia, BC,

izer of allignments, pacts, con-
sortiums and discussions, with
the fascist gangsters of Europe,
draws Canada and the British do-
minions into the cauldron of war
and carries out the organization
oof an anti-Soviet bloe with per-
haps more finesse than the
Trotskyist wreckers, but certainly
not with more determination to
secure the victory -of fascism. The
USSR blocked their efforts.

The people of Canada must
support the people of Britain and
block the efforts of Chamberlain.
The King government must be
compelled to break with British
foreign policy and join with the
people of Britain for a policy of
collective security and unity
against the fascist aggressors and
their anti-Soviet sides.

Amnti-
Soviet
Slanders

NTL-SOVIET propaganda is on

an upsurge in British Golum-

bia. This is particularly notice-
able in items in the rural press.

A recent number of the Country
Guide and Nor-West Farmer has
been passed around gratuitously
in 100 Mile House, containing a
short report of Colonel George A.
Drews impressions of a trip to
the Soviet Dnion.

Colonel Drew, a prominent To-

ronto pro-fascist and enemy of |

organized labor, trots out the old
falsehoods about mass starvation,
and about the high cost of com-
modities.

Actually, the price of commodi-
ties is continually dropping owing
to the increased output of the
factories making consumers’
goods. At the same time wages
are constantly going up—the only
country in the worid where this
is so. Drew does not mention that
the last harvest was the greatest
on record with prospects for an
even greater one this year. Nor
does he state a truth obvious to
any tourist, that there is no un-
employment over there.

Tike all pro-fascists he takes
the side of Trotsky and accuses
Stalin of mass “terrorism.” But
the trials of the anti-Soviet plot-
ters were not Stalin’s “revenge”
against Trotsky, as so many capi-
talist papers try to make out.
Stalin is not a dictator in the first
place, and the plotters were
brought to justice by the Soviet
government and condemned after
they had openly and freely con-
fessed to the indictments against
them. :
