HESE are some of the rea-

sons why reaction and mo-
nopoly capital hate the very
name of Tim Buck. At the same
time, however, for the same
reason tens- of thousands of
Canadians look up to our na-

miration.

The an-

the future of our people and
he views every hardship he

Foibles, Fancies And Facts

Meaning of “Soft Peace’

_ Frantic moves are going on in London and New York to try to upset the United
Nations’ plan for the occupation of Germany. The industrialists behind the plot want
to re-establish German industry before that of the rest of the Continent, thus creating
a new Reich as a “bulwark against Communism and preventing Germans from being sent
to rebuild Russia.” One British industrialist recently described this last plan as “nothing
less than setting up schools for Communists.” (From “Secret History’ in Reynolds
News, London, England.) d

“Canute” Weaver Stops the Tide

As to the proposal that a socialist movement should avoid criticism of a socialist
country, there are two things that might be said. First, that even a socialist country is
not sacred and beyond criticism; second, there is as yet no socialist country to be criticized.
If Corn Cob thinks the Soviet Union is socialist he is entitled to his opinion. (George
Weaver in the CCF News answering correspondent criticising him for attacks on the
Soviet Union.)

Your “Peace and Life” Definitely

Certainly if the Red Army penetrates Europe; if the peoples who until now have
been victorious fall into a terrible civil war; if the gallant German people are not able
to resist the Orient .. . our peace and life will fall into the abyss. (from editorial in
Spanish fascist newspaper; as reported in New York Times.)

Reconversion :

Sleeping presents its problems, too. We may be able to woo our wives on a Simmons
mattress, but will we manage to woo Morpheus? More likely than not we'll toss and
turn for a few hours, then search around for a spade or shovel, retire to the backyard,
and dig ourselves a nice, cozy, safe slit-trench. All very well for us, but what will our
wives think? (From a letter from Cpl. Bert Whyte, overseas, to Mel Colby as printed
in the Canadian Tribune. )

The Americans Also Share

Nor can Americans permit themselves the luxury of a “holier than thou’ approach
to the current difficulties. It remains a hard fact that. American policy toward Britain
in relation to postwar markets, as revealed in the Chicago international aviation con-
ference -and other manifestations, has thrown the British bourgeoisie into a mood of
panic and desperation out of which nothing constructive can come. Apparently America
has no perspective to offer Britain, as yet, for the postwar period, other than one of
unlimited free competition in free world markets, in which British industry can seé noth-
ing but inevitable bankruptcy and collapse in face of Americas gigantic mass production
plants expanded during and for the war. Until this basic factor is fundamentally modified,
there will be no stable and lasting relations of cooperation between Britain and United
States in a hundred questions vital to the successful prosecution of the war. America’s
gigantic industrial power carries with it equally gigantic responsibilities for the formula-
tion of policies which replace panic and desperation among our British Allies with calm-
ness and confidence. (Earl Browder in the New York Worker.)

Same Old Picture

Not the least educational have been the antics of the “Liberal” and Social-Demo-
cratic groups. In Greece as in Belgium, Social-Democrats provided the “‘face’’ for the
“old gangs.’”’ And on his side of the ocean, all the way from Dorothy Thompson and
the New Republic to M. J. Coldwell and the CCF press, they have veered from loud
laments about the United Nations cracking up, Europe being divided between Britain
and Russia, etc., etc., to pleas for a “‘soft peace’’ for Germany. All with “the best of
intentions,’ of course, but they fit into the same old picture with the monarchist and
collaborationist groups in Europe, giving Germany the hope even yet to prevent otal
defeat. (From an editorial in the Canadian Tribune.)
