Brazen forgery exposed

by labor and the farmers in the
upcoming provincial elections.
The best answer to Mr. Purdy is
to throw Thatcher and his anti-
labor legislation out of office.”

In an earlier letter addressed
to Mr. Roy Atkinson, president
of the National Farmers Union,
William Kashtan, leader of the
Communist Party of Canada had
denounced the forged document.
The text of Mr. Kashtan’s letter
follows:

“It has just been drawn to
our attention that a letter has
been circulating in Alberta and
perhaps in Saskatchewan also,
allegedly written by Don Currie,
who was national organizer of
the Communist Party and which
deals with the National Farmers
Union.

“The letter is a crude forgery
written by someone who ob-
viously wished to distort the
position of the Communist Party
as well as that of the NFU and
CLC. The crudity of the forgery
is to be seen in the fact that the
letter does not have the letter-
head of our Party, nor is the let-
ter signed.

“This is not the first time a
forgery was perpetrated. Last
year on the eve of the CLC con-
vention a forged letter was dis-
tributed also in Alberta in the

- name of Bruce Magnuson, labor

secretary of our Party. It was
quickly exposed aS soon as it
was drawn to our attention.

“It is a measure of the bank-
ruptcy of monopoly policy that
such forgeries are undertaken.
No less is it an expression of fear
that unity of all democratic and
left movements will eventually
come about.

“The Communist Party does
not hide its program and aims.
Indeed it wants the widest pos-
sible debate ori them. It does not
strive to manipulate and take
over but rather to influence and
educate and unite the people, in
the first place labor and farmers,
for effective struggle against
their common enemy — mono-

poly.”
New Party program

Bulgaria at

SOFIA—The 10th Congress of
the Bulgarian Communist Party,
which opened on April 12, oc-
cupies a particularly important
place in the history and the
development of the country and
its people.

Firstly, the Congress is to
adopt the party’s program
which will wind up the building
of an advanced socialist society
and go forward to prepare the
material and cultural prerequl-
sites for the gradual transition
to communism—a period of 25-
30 years.

The Congress will also adopt
the directives of the 6th _five-
year plan (1971-1975). While
previous plans treated only
problems concerning the devel-
opment of the country’s econ-

omy, the new plan will work out —

the social aspects of the devel-
opment of socialist society as
well. A system of prognoses,
conceptions, complex programs,
economic and structural models
for particular branches and ac-
tivites of the economy — that is .
the basis on which the basic 1n-
dices of the plan are being for-
mulated,

This will be a plan for the
accelerated development of the
scientific and technical revolu-

Pravda cites

U.S. pressure
on Canada -

MOSCOW — The newspaper
Pravda of April 12 published a
commentary headed “Washing-
ton’s Brazen Impudence” by
Vladimir Grigorovich dealing
with U.S. pressure on Canada.

“Relations between the two
countries have assumed a “de-
licate” character on more than
one occasion in the past as
well,” the author notes.

“American monopolies, as is
known, have long since seized
firm positions in the Canadian
economy. ;

The U.S. unceremoniously
meddled in Canadian affairs, re-
sorting to pressure in different
forms and even to direct pres-
sure to replace an objectionable
government.

“Though the American press
tries to conceal facts of this
kind by fine words about ‘part-
nership’, ‘equality’ and ‘good-
neighborly relations’, the real
worth of these words was again
demonstrated by a State De-
partment report on U.S. foreign
policy in 1969-1970, recently
submitted to the chairman of
the Senate foreign relations
Committee and the chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs Com-
mittee. ‘

“Setting forth the State De-
partment’s position on cardinal
international problems, the re-
port also touches on U.S.-Cana-
dian relations. This part of the
report assails the policy of
Canada and the economic and
political steps its government is
planning to take, including a
50% reduction of Canadian
troops in NATO, sovereignty
over the Arctic areas of the
country, establishment of a 12-
mile zone of territorial waters,
and what is especially symp-
tomatic, Canada’s desire to re-
strict the growth of foreign
ownership in the country”.

new stage

tion, a plan for an all round in-
tensification, complex automati-
zation and the introduction of
cybernetics in all fields of pub-
lic activity, for the technical
reconstruction of the means ‘of
production and the rapid devel-
opment of the basic-structural
determinating branches of econ-
onthe directives will reflect,
more precisely and completely,
the basic aim of the party—the
care for the material, cultural
and spiritual welfare of every
Bulgarian citizen. A consider-
able further growth of the real
incomes and purchasing power
of the population will be pro-
vided for, as well as an increase
in consumer goods, increasing
their diversification and improv-
ing their quality. Housing will
be extended, the education and
the upbringing of the rising
generation improved. a
Work on a new constitution
of the People’s Republic of Bul-
garia is now in progress. After
a nation-wide discussion, it will
be ratified by the National As-
sembly. It will reflect the deep
changes that have taken place
in the economic order of the
country since the enactment of
the first Republican Constitution

in 1947.

Angela

oust racist judge

LOS ANGELES — Superior
Court Judge Alan A. Lindsay,
appointed by Gov. Ronald Rea-
gan to preside over the trial of
black Communist leader Angela
Davis has denied being a racist
and refused to disqualify him-
self.

Lindsay, a Reagan appoint-
ment to the bench, was former-
ly a lobbyist for the California
Police Officers Association and
President of the Oakland School
Board. The Davis defense says
that he showed on the School
Board “a built-in bias against
integration and against those
organizations which struggled
to achieve integration.”

In accordance with California
law, the defense is now negotia-
ting with the prosecution in an

effort to agree on a “reviewing

judge” who will determine if
Lindsay should be disqualified.

Pressure for justice for An-
gela Davis mounted with the
decision of the California Demo-
cratic Council to demand that
she be released on bail.

The 650 delegates at the con-
vention of this state organiza-
tion of the Democratic Party
voted unanimously “to instruct
its executive board to impanel a
special committee whose res-
ponsibility it shall be to exam-
ine in detail all the procedures
in the trial of Angela Davis and
inform .both the membership
and the general public of the
violations of constitutionally
guaranteed due process of law.”

At the same time across the
sea, 16 members of the British
House of Commons and four
members of the House of Lords
signed a letter saying that the

seeks to

trial of Angela Davis “appears

to us in the British Parliament
to present a vital test to the
system of American justice.”
The letter was handed to the
U.S. Embassy by Members of
Parliament Sidney Bidwell and
Bernadette Devlin.

Earlier Bidwell, who is the
Labor M.P. for Southall had ad-
dressed a London rally organ-
ized by the Morning Star to-
gether with Louise Patterson,
executive secretary of -the New
York Angela Davis Defense
Committee.

As hundreds of resolutions
continue to flood in from the
German Democratic Republic in
support of Angela Davis, her
cause is also being taken’ up in
West Germany. The annual con-
ference of the Young Socialists
of Bavaria (the youth wing of
Chancellor Brandt’s party) un-
animously adopted a resolution
expressing solidarity with the
courageous U.S. patriot, Angela
Davis.”

Junta talks of easing up,

prepares more oppression

ATHENS—A full meeting of
the Central Committee of the
underground Communist Party
of Greece (KKE) was held in
February when the situation in
Greece and the tasks facing the
Communists were discussed.

A communique said the report
made by the general secretary, '
Costas Koliyannis, noted that
the Junta continued to be iso-
lated from the people and poli-
tical parties. Opposition to the
Junta and the dictatorship was
growing, anti - Americanism
spreading, and the spirit of unity
in struggle developing. The divi-
sions in the ranks of the junta
were -becoming sharper espe-
cially as the personal power of
Papadopoulos was strengthened.

Whilst Junta demagogy re-
garding the “liberalization of the
regime” increased, it proceeded
with the militarization of pub-
lic life, maintained martial law,
courts-martial, and the terror,

carried ‘out more arrests, and .

was preparing for new trials.

The communique said that
among the people the conviction
was growing that the Junta
could only be brought down
through struggle, and. already
they had been forced to release
a considerable number of poli-
tical detainees from the concen-
tration camps. ‘

The universal opposition of
the people and parties to the
dictatorship, said Costas Koliy-
annis, created the objective pos-

sibility for unity in action. But
this came up against the fact
that the leaderships of the bour-
geois parties were guided, -in
one degree or another, by anti-
communism and aimed at a so-
lution which wauld exclude the
people and the Communist Party.

The Communist Party of
Greece, said the communique,
stressed that the struggle to

bring down the Junta must be

based on the popular masses
and that, with the fall of the
Junta, méasures must be taken
to restore and secure democra-
tic freedom so that the people
could freely ‘decide their future.
