Tim Buck
To Contest
Board Seat

TORONTO, Ont.—Within a
day after he and 195 others
were released from Don jail,
Tim Buck, Communist leader,
announced he would run for
Board of Control in 1943 To-
ronto civic elections. The last
time Buck was a candidate for
controller, in 1939, he polled
45,000 votes.

Released eleven days after they
had voluntarily given themselves
into custody, Tim Buck and his as-
sociates, in a statement to the press,
declared they had done so “to ap-
peal agaist the internment orders
which now prevent us from giving
our full energy to strengthening
the country’s war effort.

“Qur sole motive in taking this
action is to help eliminate the con-

troversial issue ereated by the in-
ternment orders which have DOW
become an obstacle to the develop-
ment of full national unity and,
therefore, an obstacle to the de-
velopment of total war effort.”

In addition to Buck, those re-
leased were: Stewart Smith, Sam
Carr, Leslie Morris, William Kash-
tan, Gustav Sundquist, and Sam
Lipschitz, all of Toronto; Emery
Samuel, Stanley Ryerson, Fred
Rose, Evariste Dube and Henri
Gagnon, all of Montreal; Oscar
Kane of Windsor; A. T. Hill of Port
Arthur, and William C. Ross and
James Litterick, both of Winnipeg.

In a statement on béhalf of the
sixteen upon their release, Buck
declared:

“Our release will make it pos-
sible above all to strengthen the
campaign for the second front.
That is the crucial issue of the
war, and the recent words of Jo-
seph Stalin and Wendell Willkie
must find an echo in the hearts
of every Canadian. I and my
comrades syill devote ourselves to
this great task, knowing that the
immediate opening of the second
front is necessary for the security
of Canada and for the cause of
victory...-.-

‘We shall devote our efforts to
strengthening the war effort of our
country. The promise of greater
war effort and fighting anti-fascist
national unity is brighter than ever

before; events are moving apace,
and we are glad to be once again
in the midst of these events, help-
ing to-influence their course to-
ward the aim of the Canadian peo-
ple—the speedy annihilation of the
Hitlerite enemy and the victory of
the United Nations.”

Enters Elections

Candidate for school board
in the forthcoming civic elec-
tions will be Mrs. Effie Jones,
organizer of the Housewives’
League, who this week an-
nounced that she will stand
as an independent “because
I feel the need for progress-
ive administration of school
board affairs is an issue in
these elections. Questions
of civic government may
seem relatively unimportant
compared to the immeasur-
ably greater world issues,
but strengthening of civic
government is nevertheless a
step that must be taken to-
wards building the better
world of tomorrow.”

Vladimir Pehelintsev and Nikolai

representatives of the Red Army
ever to visit Canada.

Efforts have been made by local
organizations to arrange for the
three Soviet heroes to take part in
the ‘People’s Battle Parade” on
Sunday, Oct. 18. Their schedule is
reported to be full already, but it is
hoped that with the tremendous
interest already aroused here by
their visits to Bastern Canada, they
can be persuaded to cancel some
previous commitments.

TO VISIT MONTREAL.

They are due to appear in Mont-
real on Oct. 27 and it is believed
that the Universities of Manitoba
and Alberta will join with UBC to
arrange a visit here en route.

More than 18,000 people supported
their impassioned appeal for aid
through a Second Front, at a meet-
ing in Maple Leaf Gardens, To-
ronto, September 21, while 20,000
people gathered in front of the city
hall there to watch them sign the
visitors’ book and receive the free-
dom of the city from Mayor Con-
boy.

At the rally that evening, Major-
General C. F. Constantine, officer
commanding Military District No.
2, greeted the Soviet sniper and as-
sured the three heroes that the Ca-
nadian army stands ready to march
against the Nazis as soon as it gets
the word.
