RECOVERY

National recovery was the real
issue and the old Parties could
not do anythine about recovery be—
cause they were bound to reaction-
ary big business interests by:
“chains of gold.’ The question of
national recovery was cuttins
42cross party lines, and in the com-
ing election candidates would be
asked simply whether they stood
for democracy and recovery.

The fight for recovery must be
organized, the speaker emphasized.
The voters must 2cguaint them-
selves with the details of a plan
that would suarantee recovery. He
then briefly outlined his legislative
program.

“There is plenty of money to
carry out such a program,’ Buck
Stated. “But big capital is Sabotag—
ing all efforts to make that money
and credit available. Why? Because
such a2 recovery program would in-
terfere with the huge profits they
are now drawing from the mona-
poly setup.” ~

The speaker pointed to a recent
remark of Senator McRae, former
Dominion organizer for the Con-
Servative Party, that there was no
difference of principle between the
two main parties.

Plan Ukrainian Musical
Festival Toronto July 15

TORONTO, Ont—One of the largest cultural events of its
kind ever staged in Canada will be witnessed on July 15, when

no Jess than 1,500 musicians, singers and dancers will perform

at Toronto’s Mutual St. Arena Gardens.

Preparations for
festival have been launched in ear-
mest and the performers are al-
ready being lined up—some will
come from as far west as Calgary,
Edmonton and Vancouver.

Initiated by the labor and demo-
eratie Ukrainian-Canadian organi-
zations last year, plans for the
Sreat event have been discussed
and worked out long ago. The pur-
pose of the festival will be to de
monstrate the cultural-artistic
achievements of Ukrainian people.

It is a recognised fact that in
every section of Canada, where-
ever there is a group of Ukrain-
ians, you will find the inevitable
cultural centre, with its library,
dramatic circle, mandolin orches-
tra, choir and dancers’ group. Per-
haps no other people have such a
wariety and versatility to offer as
have the Ukrainians.

From coast to coast, the press
has been praising the talent and
art of the Ukrainian people. Re-
cently, the Ukrainians in Toronto,
On the occasion of the 125th birth-
day anniversary of Taras Shev-
chenko, national poet of Ukrain-
jams, staged a concert at Massey
Hall. Mr. Edward W. Wodson of
the ‘““‘Toronto Telegram” in a nearly
full column of that paper, said this:

“The choir sang ... unlike any-
thing we have. Music ... of unex-
pected beauty. The voices have a
tang of unspoilt naturalmess. . . ;
But the orchestra of Chris Daffeff
was the greatest joy of all. ...In
dances the music was dynamic as
anything of Brahms or Liszt, and
Mr. Datfeff's young musicians
played it with a disciplined enthu-
Siasm that was positively uncanny
. . . there was true symphonic mu-
Sicianship and a reverence for pro-
portion that only art can show.”

During centuries of oppression in
Buroepe, the Ukrainian people kept
alive their language, and in song,
music and dance remembered the
glory of past heroes and the ever-
burning fire of liberty to be won.

On democratic Canadian soil,
they are preserving this heritage
of the history of their people, bring-
ing it in all its beautiful artistry
to all the people of Ganada.

The festival on July 15 will be a
Sreat event in Canada as it will
open the doors for Canadians to
look into the proud history and tra-
ditions of more than halfa-million
of their fellow-countrymen.

it is expected to be an event of
importance to GCanadian-Ukrainians
and for Canadians in general.

camps. The amount of deferred pay
taken from the 30 cents an hour

rate paid the men is 1414 cents or
228.50 a month. Qut of the balance
left them is deducted 75 cents a
day for board, any clothings which
they may need, and commissary
charges, which will leave the men
an average of $6 a month“ if they
are careful.”

Preparations are now being
made by the RPWU officials to
call a wage scale conference in
July which will have three main
items on the agenda: (1) Union
rates of pay for skilled and un-
skilled labor in camps; (2) The
question of deferred pay and how
to eliminate it; and (3) Discrim-

‘Juarez --Hollywood Pays
Its Tribute To Liberty

ing the uninitiated by an insanity
of purpose, and imbecility of the
means employed.’

Knowing the character of the
historical episode they had picked
for an immediate lesson of de
mocracy and good-neighborliness
of the Western Hemisphere, the
directors of Juarez selected what
will be judged by all who view
the picture as an ideal cast.

t)

DL MUNTS unforgettable

recreation of the hero of the
picture, Benito Pablo Juarez, with
his brilliant supporting cast, em-
Phasizes his versatility as a char-
acter actor who has made Touis
Pasteur and Emil Zola not ab-
Stract scientific names but real
people and friends to millions.

As Carlotta, Emperor Maximil-
lian’s Queen, Bette Davis con-
tributes much of her talent to
this picture for which she has
twice gained prize recognition.

Brian Aherne’s portrayal of the
difficult role of Maximillian vies
with Paul Muni’s acting for first
place in the film.

A character showing the deft-

mess of the producers, and a pro-
found understanding of the poli-
tics of the period, as well as of
every dramatic possibility, is that
of vice-president Alejandro Uradi,
played by Joseph Calleia.

Uradi is the Judas of the pic-
ture. His exposure and defeat
offer one of the most breath-tak—
ing incidents of a film that keeps
you pretty well keyed-up from the
first to the last flicker

UAREZ, ultimately with the
friendiy aid of the United
States, once again, as Marx wrote,
“baffled” efforts to transplant

monarchial tyranny on the Am-

erican continents. The first at-
tempt was defeated by the actions
of President Monroe, giving rise
to the Monroe Doctrine, which in
its progressive sense plays so im-
portant a part in the film Juarez.

Two big themes run through-
out the film, skilfully woven into
its tense dramatic fabric. These
are Democracy and the Unity of
the People of the United States
and Latin America in protecting
the Western Hemisphere’s herit-
age of liberty.

ea

UAREZ as a production of a
J decisive historical period of
the Americas makes a great con-
tribution in pointing lessons today
for the preservation of democracy
and the unity of the peoples in
this hemisphere.

Tt is a picture so expertly made,
so satisfactorily acted, so uni-
versal in its appeal and yet so ac-
curate in its documentary evyi-
dence, that it can be considered
more than contemporary. As his—
torical drama it will live far
longer than the great run it is en-
titled to now.

it is a picture you cannot miss
for sheer entertainment alone. It
is a film which will itself do much
to cement that very Hemisphere
friendship it depicts and explains
so well. it is a picture which will
make both Latin Americans and
the peoples of the United States
treasure more the liberties which
have cost them so much blood
and which fascism is ready to
shed oceans more of blood to de
stroy.

You will be missing an example
of the real achievement of a Hol-
lywood being stirred and changed
in the crucible of present world
events if you pass by the mas—
nificent spectacle of Juarez.

BOSSES’ PLOT

three promised Anderson that if
he would sign, the influence of sey-
eral leading business men in Grays

Harbor would be used with Inspec-
tor Dolson to ge the visa.

All three admitted they were
working closely with members of
the Better Business Builders, a
“front” organization -for leading
lumber operators, but the orgzani-
zation could not come out into the
open to assist Anderson to return
to the US.

“That would be sticking their
necks out too far,’ Deskins told
Anderson. “But as individuals
they are the people we must worl
with — the people who really
count—Dolson and other immi-
ration officers that might have
connections.”

These business leaders, Anderson
was informed, would see to it that
he could return if he gave assur-
ance that he would work with other
wreckers within the union.

When ‘Anderson repeatdly re-
fused, he was threatened with the
possibility of never returning to the
SU.

immediately following the inter-
view, Anderson wrote to Ted Dok-
ter, president of the Grays-Willapa
Harbor District Council, informing
him of the developments and pledg-
ing his full allegiance to the TWA.

Anderson is a native-born Amer-
ican who worked as a fisherman
here on the BC coast several years
afo. Im recent years he has made
eight trips across the border but
was never before stopped. Last
January he was elected a delegate
to the BC Coast District Conyven-
tion here in Vancouver, and was
detained by Canadian immigration
authorities upon his return. He has
been held a virtual prisoner in Can-
ada since that time, despite the
fact that Washington immigration
officials are already understood to
have instructed local offcials to
permit his return.

implication of the US immizra-
gration Service in the plot to
wreck the TWA is particularly
resented by unionists involved.
They poimt out that this is not
the first time that immigration
