The news was received with joy from the trade union movement in Britain. British workers are sincerely sorry that this renegade from capitalist media ever left the “Daily Mail” where he belonged and hope he will never return to help his bosses on a labour paper again. ‘The Worker . October 26, 1926 "A .RITBY GOSH PACIFIC TRIBUNE—OCTOBER 29, 1976—Page 4 EIDITORIAIL GOMIMIENT Reprisals against workers for labor’s Oct. 14 Day of Protest comprise the latest attempt by the monopoly-run political system to cripple the labor movement. The fight to prevent loss of employ- ment and other acts of revenge by bosses and governments is a challenge that’s al- ready stepping on the toes of the labor movement. No worker or union penalized for participation in the Day of Protest should stand alone, but receive the support of all working people. _ There is an interesting revelation in the actions of the monopolies who run Canada, its governments and its control- led mass media. ‘Workers can now see for themselves that the very monopoly spokesmen who ' clamor for dissent in the socialist coun- tries, don’t want it here. They want strikes in the socialist countries, but not here. When workers protest wage- slashing by the so-called Anti-Inflation Board, the ruling class sets out to exact. - Reprisals must be stopped penalties to teach the working people 4 lesson. ‘They think they can make the labor movement crawl back into the past and thereby prevent a repetition of Oct. 14. The bosses are using the Day of Pro- test as a pretext to try to get rid of the militants, to behead the trade union movement. October 14 wasa challenge to the labor movement; but the mounting reprisals are an equal challenge. Just as the Cana- dian Labor Congress has a responsibility | to back these victimized workers and unions all the way, so have the federa- tions, the labor councils. Maximum pres sure has to be put on the governments | and employers who take their cue from | the ruling monopolies. Pressure needs tO | be exerted to force an end to efforts to , penalize workers who protested the usé of an anti-labor legislation such as Bill C-73, which is working to lower living | standards. ———— - War Criminals in Canada © Nazi elements who entered the USA after World War II —many from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania — and became citizens, are being investigated for at- rocities committed in their homelands as members of Hitler’s Nazi organization. Their crimes, it is revealed, often in- volved aiding in the extermination of Jews, and as has been shown elsewhere, extermination of any of their country- men who espoused socialism or even anti-fascism. For whatever purposes in this election year, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has announced its intention of “denaturalizing” and de- porting at least some of these criminals. Some of them have already been tried and sentenced as war criminals in absen- tia in their former homelands. It is commendable that this belated ef- fort is being made to bring such crimi- nals to justice, and it is interesting that the media calls them “fiercely anti communist,” usually a badge of merit to U.S. officialdom. The question raised by all this fot Canadians is: Why has the Canadian Government never undertaken, over thé decades, to deport such criminals. They | are living in Canada. They are known. | The evidence of their crimes 1§ documented. The new book, Lest Wé Forget, by Michael Hanusiak, adds sub- stantially to that documentation. But so far the Canadian Government has done nothing. : It is hoped that in the light of exposure of the vicious deeds of the war criminals in the USA, democratic opinion ™ Canada will be able to exert sufficient pressure on government to bring about an investigation and clean-up of thesé remnants of Hitlerism festering in out midst. —— Don’t meddle in Zimbabwe! Democratic Canadians who abhor ra- cism got a slap in the face from the newly-appointed external affairs minis- ter, Don Jamieson, who emerged from . his téte-a-téte with Henry Kissinger, Oct. 15, agreeing that Canada should help bale out the white supremacists of Zim- babwe (Rhodesia). Z This Kissinger fund to “compensate white Rhodesians for their property los- ses,” under democratic government, or the alternative travesty (while Canadians are living in poverty) to allow them to use the fund to emigrate to Canada is unac- ceptable meddling. It is not for Canada or the U.S. or imperialism to try to impose a settlement — on Zimbabwe. Canada’s government should be speaking and acting in favor 0 the rights of the Black people of Zim- ‘babwe to decide their own future. The triple veto in the United Nations; by the USA, Britain and France, against an arms embargo on South Africa is in- - dicative of imperialist plans. Canada’s government should steer 4 different course, tear itself away from ts support and encouragement of South Africa’s apartheid, Chile’s fascism, an South Korea’s military dictatorship, an support peoples who are freeing them selves from age-old bondage.
