Editorial Comment...

Outrageous escalation

United States planes have resumed
bombing the territory of the Demo-
eratic Republic of Vietnam. For four
days last week armadas of bombers
dropped death on its people and de-
struction on their homes and fields and
industries.

This outrageous escalation of U.S.
imperialism’s war in Indochina occurs
when the entire facade of its aggres-
sive policy there has collapsed. In South
Vietnam protests against the forthcom-
ing uncontested presidential “election”
are raging in the streets of Saigon.

Canada, in this present session of the
United Nations General Assembly,
must demand an end to this dirty U.S.
war, must move in the assembly of the
nations that the United States get out
of Indochina.

As for us, the people of Canada, the
time has surely come for all of us to
see that we can’t resist U.S. imperial-
ism’s economic offensive against our
country unless we demand it cease its
horrible offensive on the Indochinese

people.

Admit China now!

The 22nd anniversary this October 1
of the People’s Republic of China coin-
cides with the question of its being seat-
ed in the United Nations, a matter now
being debated there. :

If the PRC is not presently in the UN
it is due to the efforts of U.S. imperial-
ism to prevent it. The U.S. is now con-
tinuing this position with its two-China

olicy.
: rhe necessary universality of the
United Nations requires the admission
of the PRC as the sole representative
of the Chinese people, and also the ad-
mission of other countries.

SPARG — Trudeau's
word for repression

en last week in Edmonton the
Sie representing the 156,000
members of the Canadian Union of Pub-
lic Employees voted in their union’s an-
nual convention to oppose both the War
Measures and the Public Order Acts
they struck a powerful blow for the
democratic rights of all Canadians.
Their resolute action comes at a time
when these are critically endangered.
There is, as Louis Laberge, president of
the Quebec Federation of Labor warn-
ed in his address to the CUPE conven-
tion, a conspiracy against labor. in all
Canada, against the workers inviolable
rights to bargain collectively and to
strike. This is the main thrust of the
assault by reaction on all democratic
and civil rights in our country.
The Trudeau government 1s leading
the assault, planning and implementing
it for monopoly. Its latest sinister move
— of a police state character — 1s in
establish a civilian security group call-

ed SPARG (security planning and re-
search group).

Solicitor-General Goyer has defined
its objective. In the House of Commons
last week he put it on record that the
secret state police force — for that’s
what SPARG really is—will “study and
report on dissident groups.”

Almost one year ago the implementa-
tion in peacetime of the War Measures
Act, the monstrous military occupation
of Quebec, and the later use of the Pub-
lic Order Act, shared as their overrid-
ing purpose the crushing of all dissent,
the throttling of democratic opposition,
and not the rooting out of a handful
of terrorists.

With what dissident groups does the
Solicitor-General propose to start his
attack on democracy?

Mr. Goyer — “a jailer; a cop,” as the
Toronto Globe and Mail calls him—told
Members of Parliament his “group”
will analyze information collected on
“subversive and revolutionary groups.”

Where and when have we heard those
words before?

Why, whenever the working people
fight back against unemployment,
against closing down of plants and
wage freeze threats and anti-strike
laws. Whenever organized labor unites
to fight for government policies to
create jobs and not destroy them. And,
more and more, whenever workers
strike to win much-needed wage in-
creases and to halt speedup.

That’s when monopoly has its creat-
uers in government cry out “subver-
sion, revolution.”

In a sorry departure from his own
role and that of his colleagues in oppos-
ing the War Measures Act, NDP-MP
Andrew Brewin declared he could find
“nothing objectionable” in the civilian
security force.

What he and all the NDP members in
the House of Commons should be doing
is demanding the Trudeau government
take action against these forces that
are really undermining democracy in
Canada, like the Edmund Burkers.

This fascist-like band of hoodlums
not only preaches violence, it perpe-
trates it. Reaction is openly supporting
it. All three Social Crdit candidates in
the Ontario elections are EBS mem-
bers, and the newly elected president
of the Social Credit Association is Paul
Fromm, former leader of the EBS.

He has for company no less a reac-
tionary than Paul Hellyer, former Tru-
deau cabinet minister whose overtures
to win federal leadership of the Social
Credit party are known to all.

When Chambers of Commerce today
are moving to demand the banning of
all strikes, when giant monopoly
spokesmen, like MacMillan Bloedel’s
Bonner, are calling for a wage freeze,
the Trudeau government responds.

With its silence it approves the vio-
lent actions of the Edmund Burke So-
ciety, the Jewish Defense League, of
other fascist-like groups.

And it threatens the whole fabric of
democratic rights with its police-state
legislation for a civilian security force.
Organized labor, leading all Canada’s
‘democratic forces, should act to block

this legislation — with the same forth-
rightness the CUPE convention has
shown. in opposing the War Measures
and Public Orders Acts.
