Seamen urge Canadians withdraw from Korea _ TWENTY SEAMEN, SS Lake Winnipeg: The following is a copy of a peace petition sent to the Canadian Minister of Defense and to the Canadian representative at the United Nations: ; “We tHe undersigned tax-paying members of the West Coast Sea- men’s Union aboard the SS Lake ‘Winnipeg hereby submit the fol- lowing resolution. “WHEREAS the foreign policy at present being pursued by our Canadian government, i.e., inter- vention in the Korean war where- by the sending of arms, ships, planes and menvis in direct con- tradiction to the best interests of peace, ; “AND WHEREAS the lives of Canadian service personnel are being needlessly endangered at the behest of Wall Street mad fanatics, “AND WHEREAS the present talk by certain American states- men of using the atomic and hy- drogen bomb certainly does noth- ing towards the furthering of A world peace and is unnecessarily ’ creating fear and hysteria among the people of our country. “AND WHEREAS the increased taxation of numerous commodi- ties creates an ever-increasing hardship to the people of our country, many of whom can bare- ly make ends meet as a result of the present high cost of living: “THEREFORE BE IT RE- SOLVED, that we strongly urge the Canadian government to use every means in its power to in- fluence the United Nations to: (1) Withdraw all foreign troops from Korea, (2) Call together represen- tatives of both North and South Korean governments to find a peaceful solution to bring to an end hostilities in their country, (3) To insist that the UN recog- nize the Chinese People’s Repub- lic and support the seating of China at the UN, (4) To insist on \ the gradual disarmament of all - nations, (5) The complete abolish- ment of atomic bombs, and the branding as war criminals any government which orders their use, (6) That Canada recognize the new Chinese People’s Democ-— Tacy.” a aimee ies atten sinh rare i oni ASM in Ath MIT SAE ck a a Ate Hi ta BN NR in SB Your Derartnent _ SAM REYNOLDS, Vancouver: While the great big fascist “sook” Yankee country to the South is busily engaged in smashing tiny Korea, and while its brave sol- diers are stripping Korean nurses , and searching children for artil- lery, there is one point that we in Canada overlook. Under very easily conceivable circumstances, these very same fascist “gook’” Yankees would do. just the same in Canada. Writing as a veteran, I know. If any one . thinks that fascist types as found in the American Legion and be- coming general in the United States, would not wreck Canadian cities, they are still truly infantile in thought. Rather than arm against the North, we should consider arming against the South. Communists excluded but Nazis welcomed E, H. TUDOR, Morningside, Al- berta: I have before me a copy © of the Daily Province, dated Sep- tember 29, with a heading over a story, “Germans admitted to Can- ada.’ The story says that “the shift in immigration policy came after Canada’s external affairs minister Pearson advocated the réearming of western Germany.” The story also said that -ex- ‘Nazis and Communists will not be allowed to enter the country. But in a copy of the Vancouver Sun on September 23, six days previous, we find the following headline over a story by Hal Ten- nant: “Ex-Nazi Amazed by B.C. Tolerance.” : Says the story: “A handsome young German who served three * years in Hitler’s Navy .. - has mapped out a more peaceful car- eer for himself at the University of British Columbia.” So the. Nazis ride again! In our little hamlet of Morningside there hangs a scrol to the mem- ory of a Canadian soldier who fell on the beaches of Normandy in the summer of 1944. A family connection of the writer was kill- ed at Ortona, December 24, 1943. We have read of the treatment meted out to Gordon Martin, and of the reception given to a noted Dean of the Church of England— stones, ripe fruit and the title of ‘Old Goat’ by a well-known Can- adian MP. . i at Should we arm agains our southern neighbor hou PleMe. Yet five years after the War for Freedom, we find that “hand- some young German ex-Nazis” — are welcomed to our Canadian universities. So, while there is a ban on Com- munists, ex-Nazis are taking the seats in UBC that should go to our Canadian youth. As Colonel McRae said: “Ig ye break faith with us whol die We shall not sleep while poppies blow ‘in Flanders fields.” Thoughts on hearing a news commentary MARGARET WEST, Abbots- ford: The following contribution occurred to me after ‘seeing the picture of a Korean child of two, wounded in the war, and hearing a few days later the BBC news “... continued bombardment of industrial and communication tar- gets...” NEWS COMMENTARY He lies at my feet ; And I still don’t know - -_ _ Was he an industrial or A communication target? Certainly he was industrious. Not yet three He had already been A steam shovel man, A lineman, A man that fixes trucks And_a cowboy - ~ All in the space of one morning. Yes, he was industrious. He comunicated, too, Even before he was born He communicated life. Amd since, he learned, In myriad ways With eyes and hands and feet and tongue mY To communicate. . And all his messages were love, Love and questions , Of all his world, of all he was, Of all he would be. Now he is dead. Now he has been answered He was loved But not enough. There were those who hated, There were those who did not _ care Or did not think. But the final answer is not yet. He has brothers In a world that is across the street And across the seas. The answer is growing in vol- ume and in strength— Ban organized murder. Ban wars of greed and conquest. Ban the bomb! b BUCHMAN RETURNS FOR U.S- CONFAB Moral rearmament head fronts for international fascist groups AFTER TWO YEARS of pro- pagandist and organisational work — abroad, chiefly in Western Eu- Tope, Dr. Frank Buchman, head /of the Moral Rearmament Move- ment, returned to’ New York this week for conferences with the United States government's top propagandists. - Moral rearmament recently con-_ cluded its conference at its head- quarters at Caux, Switzerland, where new directives were issued for its activities throughout the world. ia _ Moral Rearmament is an inter- Mational fascist organisation ca- mouflaged under a “religious” la- bel, with connections with all the major fascist movements, in par- ticular in Western Germany, Ita- ly, France, Belgium, Britain and Japan, and with the National As- ‘sociation of Manufacturers — the “general staff” of American big business. Its main theme is the “eonciliation of workers and em- ployers” and its agents are urged to penetrate and split trade un- jons and other working class or- ganizations. : * x * BEFORE THE beginning of the Second World War Buchman op- enly admitted being an admirer of Nazi Germany, and he made several visits there, afterwards Ay describing Hitler and Himmler as “splendid guys”. In Britain and the British dominions his gang, under the name of the Oxford Group, included all the prominent Munichites and members of the British fifth column. : After the end of the war, Buch- man renewed his ties with the fascist organisations, and earlier his year organised a conference at Dusseldorf in the British Zone of Germany where leaders of the German trusts met Japanese mo- nopoly representatives. x His activities are to a consider- able exent subsidized by the U.S. state department, HE 1950 Pacific Tribune subscription drive has been extended two week in response to pleas from press groups who are currently short of their targets but are confident of going over the top “within the next fort- night.” Vancouver groups will be given until November 15 to complete the drive, and provincial points until November 22. é The scoreboard shows that we are just short of the half-way mark, with 964 subs in on an objective of 2,000. Top group is Ship and Steel, with 42 subs. Sec- ond-spot is held by Grandview, who nosed past Kitsi- lano this week with 35 subs to. the latter group’s 34. Other city groups over their targets are Commercial, Norquay, Renfrew and West End. Only four provincial groups have surpassed their quotas: Alberni, Notch Hill, Salmon Arm and Sointula. But we expect big news from many places this coming - week. : = x GREATER VANCOUVER é Target Subs INDUSTRIAL No. 1 SECTION upldine Bradlee 6 S50. a 3 ee ae ec se ane oo." 5 Civic WOrkOns 7k a os Se ee ee 30 8 Plectrical: Workers. 8. soo nah ess eee ee te os Pa ee 40 22 INDUSTRIAL .No. 2 SECTION Sea and Shore ......: Bi
