as they engage in slander, incite-
ment and thuggery?

Don’t they know that high
among the “freedom fighters”
brought over here from Hun-
gary are remnants of the Hor-
thy hangmen and the common
criminals “liberated” from pri-
sons during the few hours when
the counter-revolutionaries held
sway in 1956?

Yes, both the conspirators
and their dupes are known. The
strings that lead to the CIA are
not difficult to discern either,
and behind them stand the
sinister forces working for war
in the hope of turning back the
clock of history.

Our cold war governments of
the past cannot escape respon-
sibility either.

They opened Canada’s doors
to the multi-national fascist
flotsam and jetsum left floun-
dering when Hitler's Third
Reich was smashed, ° while
screening out, barring and Vili-
fying anti-fascists.

They refused to deliver war
criminals wanted in various
European countries {0 stand
trial for their murderous deeds.

They comforted and warmed
in their bosom, and fed out of
the public treasury, the snakes
of S.S. Galizien, the big and lit-
tle nationalist “leaders” of
various colors, “defectors” no
matter how fishy, the ideolo-

gists of fascism and propagand-

ists of war.

They promoted cold war
“Congresses” and ‘“‘Commit-
tees” as spokesmen for “ethnic
groups,” and endorsed their

“causes.” z
There is a fascist Fifth Col-

umn operating in Canada. We

can tolerate and coddle it only
at. the greatest peril to our
peace and democracy, to our
security and independence.

Our shame and anger

Canada stands disgraced and humi-
liated in the eyes of the world. Our
country’s invited guest, the head of a
great and friendly neighboring state,
has been subjected to an orgy of abuse
by hysterical. groups of ultra-right
fanatics, culminating in physical vio-
lence to his person. The deep shame
that every decent Canadian feels today
must be translated into burning anger
at those who are responsible for this
criminal action.

Premier Kosygin’s visit is an event
of outstanding importance both to our
own country’s future and to world
peace. It is one of a series of bold
moves, of which Prime Minister Tru-
deau’s visit to the USSR last May was
one, to break down the barriers set up
by the cold war and to make impossible
a third world war. For Canada it has a
direct immediate significance in that it
opens wider perspectives for trade at
a time when the ill-conceived policy of
“integration” with the U.S. economy
has brought us to the brink of ruin,
and friendship with the USSR is a

’ “eounterbalance” (to use Prime Minis-

ter Trudeau’s word) to dependence on
the U.S., especially at this moment
when the American monopolies are
waging war on our economy. In other
words, it is of extreme importance to
our. country’s independence, security
and well-being.

Those that are seeking to disrupt
Premier Kosygin’s visit are not simply
“people with grievances” — _ those
“orievances” can’t stand up to any
close scrutiny — but powerful U.S. in-
terests that want to prevent the thaw-
ing of the cold war, want to continue
the policy of wars and threats of war
that are so profitable to these merch-
ants of death, and in our immediate
case want Canada to be alone and help-
less at the mercy of U.S. imperialism.

It is they that are behind the despic-
able “demonstrators” and the ultra-
right lunatic-fringe assaulters and
bomb throwers.

Our shame and anger at the perpe-

trators of these outrages must awaken

all decent, democratic Canadians to the
nature of the U.S. monopolist enemies

of Canada and their agents in our coun- ©

try.
To ignore the warning is to court
peril.

People’s true feeling

While right-wing elements among
Ukrainian and Jewish groups are being
used to muddy the waters and poison
the atmosphere of Canadian-Soviet re-
lations, the Canadian Council of Na-
tional Groups, embracing 12: national
organizations, issued a statement pro-
testing those demonstrations and urg-
ing a “cordial welcome” to Premier
Kosygin.

The national executive of the Cana-
dian Peace Congress recalls the World
War Two alliance which “drove back
and defeated the main bulk of the Hit-
ler-fascist armies of Europe,” and pays

tribute ‘to’ the Soviet people who after

2 ee

suffering the loss of 20,000,000 citizens
and a huge number of their cities, towns
and villages rebuilt their shattered
economy in record time. “They built a
powerful base for a foreign policy of
peace,” says the Congress.

The national committee of the Asso-
ciation of United Ukrainian Canadians,
meeting in Toronto, noted the mutual

benefit to be derived from the visit and

declared: “We echo the hope of our
prime minister that Canadians will re-
ciprocate the warmth and hospitality
shown the head of our government in
the Soviet Union last spring.”

In a letter to the press J. Cowan, na-
tional president of the United Jewish
People’s Order welcomed the visit and
said:

“We feel that it is doing a disservice
to Canada at this time to whip up the
dormant cold war with the organization
of counter-demonstrations on the theme
of ‘Let my people go.’ The very slogan
is counter-productive because it as-
sumes that Jews should not have the
right to live in the country of their
birth. Thousands of Jews have already
emigrated from the USSR and it is
likely, that given a more favorable in-
ternational climate, others who wish to
unite. with families abroad would find
it easier to leave. No country likes to
be ‘pushed around.’ Canada, while per-
mitting emigration, has strict immi-
gration regulations and even stricter
and secret regulations for citizenship.
Canada would not take kindly to out-
side pressure to relax our immigration
and citizenship laws.”

Role of the media

The same media — commercial press,

TV and radio —— that black out Com-

munist and other progressive candi-
dates in elections (as at this moment
in Ontario) and always manage to put
workers’ struggles in a bad light, have
been accomplices to the cold war at-

_ tempts to disrupt and bring to naught

Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin’s mis-
sion of peace and friendship.

Who has been giving prominence,
day in and day out, to the preachers
of hate and dissension, making heroes
of Burkeite. hoodlums, representing
Hitlerite wolves who fled from retribu-
tion in Europe as innocent lambs, alleg-
edly victims of “Red persecution”?

Who has been giving aid and comfort
to conspirators against good-neighborly
relations with the socialist countries
and against peace?

Who has publicized the escalation of
anti-Soviet and anti-communist fren-
zy?

Who has trumpeted the trumped-up
“spy” scares?

Who has been “hotting up”: the agi-
tation for demonstrations to disrupt
Premier Kosygin’s visit, from the pha-
lanx of professional anti-Sovieteers
and Nixon-heilers in the dying Tele-
gram to the weasel-worded editorial

‘writers of the Star in Toronto and their

counterparts across Canada?

In criminal law accessories to a crime
are equally guilty with the actual per-
petrators. Does not the same hold true,
at least morally, to the media that has
been playing such a shameful role?
