the past week. While the danger of global war arising
out of the Korean theatre of conflict is by no |means
eliminated, the U.S, warmongers, with their many-

been compelled to give some sober thought to their
plans for extending aggressive imperialist war and
intervention in Asia. i

How to explain this setback? - Certainly it is

not due to any change of heart on the part of U.S.

imperialism and its dollar-subsidized hangers on, It

stems two main factors. First the obvious
debacle of MacArthur’s military (and_ political)
leadership in Japan, now thrown into sharp relief by
the rout of his forces in Korea.
indignation of millions of people all over the world,
in the socialist, capitalist and colonial countries, against
the impudent interference and arrogant threats of Tru-
‘man and his Wall Street mentors against the govern-
“ment and people of China.

Over one hundred British MP’s signed a petition
_ in the House of Commons demanding dissociation of
the Bntish government and people with Truman’s
threat against China. The press of
Britain, France, Belgium, Australia, New Zealand,
even the cautious countries of Scandinavia, was more
or less of the one opinion—that little Harry had open-
ed his mouth too wide to chant in chorus wita his
windbag MacArthur, “Bomb China Now.” -

When the People’s Republic of China was born,
following long years of bitter struggle against foreign
and internal enemies, its veteran President Mao Tse-
tung opened a new era for China with four words:
“China Has Stood Up.” Ambassador Ward of the
U.S. supermen was booted out of Peking because
he was reluctant to recognize the meaning of these
words. | He had been accustomed to kicking the
Chinese into cringing, obedience. i:

Months ago China’s Foreign Minister ‘Chou En-

lai told the world in plain and simple language that

- the Chinese’ people would never stand idly by and see
Korea ravaged: and her people wantonly destroyed.
The fact that MacArthur’s troops are now heading
south in full retreat illustrates the profound meaning
of Mau’s words: “China has stood up.” The Us

Defeat Tammany rule

N THE good old days when, Vancouver was much

younger, and civic government had not as yet been

taken over by a gang of back-roon politicians mas-
_ querading as “Non-Partisans,” the common people had
_ an opportunity to discuss the issues affecting the wel-

fare of their city. They also had’ a sporting chance

to select and elect candidates who spoke for the

~ (people at city hall. EY i
_ For the past decade or more these opportunities
have gone by the board. As a substitute we have a
gang of old-line party hacks who dub themselves Non-
Partisans. Their boasted purpose is to “keep politics
out of the city hall,”’ that is, all politics except their
own class partisan brand. Down the years this gang

of Tammany civic dictatorship,

the We Gervin—which explains the latters ability to

_ muster enough votes to win election. When a rift ap-
pears among the hand-picked incumbents, the Non-
_ Partisans select “unofficial’’ stooge candidates (for a
very small “‘price”) whose job it is to confuse the pub-
lic and split the vote of contending opponents to Non-

Partisan rule.

Non-Partisan election strategy is to play-down
campaigning on issues to a minimum and leave it all to
a well-greased political imachine to round up the votes.
¥ Non-Partisan politics are class-politics, bare-
- faced and unblushing. Professional “yes men” for the

BCE lectric and similar monopoly interests, the Non-
Partisans take their orders from big business—and

settle all arguments with their critics ‘on civic affairs

by the red-herring technique. Showler and Gervin act
_as Non-Partisan “labor” Charley McCarthys. Their
periodic but feeble protests in “defense” of the people’s
interests, are drowned out by their full-throated yelps

about “communism”, which, to their limited mental.

Non-Partisanism is the politics of warmongering

As We See lt

A READER forwarded us some clippings from the San Mateo Times

of California, and the San Francisco Chronicle, together with a
letter containing statements (Quoted verbatim) from a number of top.
brass American politicians. To say that these expressions of “opinion,”
individually or collectively, are hysterical, is to put it mildly. They are
statements of pedple so deranged with the psychosis of war violence,

that they are no longer capable of listening, or appealing, to sanity and
reason, | as :

While we appreciate receiving these publicized “comments” from
readers in sunny California, let us hasten to” add that our own
i ' Monopoly press also gives full_throated prominance
to the frothings of these Yankee atom-crazed

maniacs,

From the propaganada mills of U.S. imperialism
some facts are beginning to stand out like a sore
thumb. One is that the leaders and spokesmen
for dollar imperialism seem to have adopted as
their “code” of behavior, two simple rules of the
“successful” gangster: — an abundant supply of
super-lethal weapons, and an inverted process of
reasoning which can transform the American con.
stitution, the Bill of Rights, and History, into a
grotesque, monstrous lie...

‘ One of these hired scribblers, who is paid to
think up the lies that fit the dementia of official America, is highly
incensed because O. John Rogge was not able to scuttle the receng
World Peace Congress in Warsaw, or use it for a sounding board for «
dollar “democracy.” CAE J

It appears that after the Peace Congress (and first and foremost
the U.S. peace delegation) had nipped the Rogge plan in the bud, the
gathering sang that old American revolutionary song, “John Brown’s
body lies amouldering in the grave, But his soul goes marching on.’’
That was just too much for thé hired Ananias of Yankee imperialism,
so he proceeded to write eighteen column inches on John Brown, in
an attempt to depict that hero of the American civil war as some
kind of traitor to the American “way of life’ then and now. Hence
the Peace Congress must be subversive of one hundred percent Ameri-
canism! . ‘ :

Another of these dope vendors schooled in the art of lying, who
poses as an “authority” (we sometimes call this species “experts’’)
on internal_affairs, is busy “caging” the “Russian bear.” Presenting
little Harry Truman as a modern version of God, with an atom-bomb
poised and ready to drop on “communism,” our “expert” draws a
typical Yankee blueprint of this “cage” now being constructed, Its
great foundation stones include such “democratic” stalwarts as Fran.

' cisco Franco and Joseph Broz Tito. These, with a “rearmed Japan,

Okinawa, Formosa, Indonesia, French and British possessions on the
southern mainland, Hawaii, Australia and Pacific archipelegos . . .’,
all under the masterful direction of a demented Uncle Sam, are going ©
to constitute two sides of this “cage.” Moreover, this “authority” re-
minds us that Washington still “embraces the hope” that Mao Tse-
tung will join with Tito against the “Kremlin,” thus making doubly

sure that this made-in-the-USA “cage” will hold the “bear.”

A closer study of some of these top publicists who provide the
propaganda froth of Yankee madness (for a price) also reveals the
not-so-subtle hand of the Vatican in this. “cage”-building hysteria.
However, it must be said that the millions of Catholics who unre-
servedly support the peoples’ governments of the New Democracies of
Europe—even in face of the Vatican threat of “excommunication” do
present something of a problem to those whose megalomania runs to
“cages,’’. atom bombs, bacterial warfare, and all their other boasted
forms of mass murder. :

i
Then there’s another breed of maniac in this all-American top-
level madhouse who, when restrained in their acts of violence by those ©
whom they have attacked, shout to high heaven because someone does

evil folly.

Here is how the Washington Times-Herald echoes the squeals of
the Yankee supermen. “In a fateful moment in American history,
with the Korean front falling apart and our army in retreat, the Un-
ited States turns to the United Nations and there finds NO (Times-
Flerald emphasis) support. At the very moment that the Red on-
Slaught has developed its surprise fury, Britain and France, the slacker
empires, prove their utter undependability as allies.” : *

“The slacker empires”? British and French war yeterans don’t
have to consult the calandar to remember how long it took the Yanks
to get into World Wars I and II, nor do they have to study the financial
journals to rerhember the crop of Yankee millionaires emerging from
these two wars, counting their profits—while the “slacker empires”
counted their dead.

Yes, MacArthur’s “UN” (read U.S.) armies are in full retreat,
heading south as fast as they can, racing before the just anger of a
tortured Korean people. Those who yesterday were singing loud paens
of “victory” and boasting about Yankee “superiority” are today wail-
ing like stuck pigs—slandering their dollar-duped allies and threaten-
ing all mankind with the awful menace of atomic destruction. é

Criminal insanity! Even a small weekly Canadian paper like our
own Highland Echo, taking a peek into this Yankee madhouse, is
disturbed by what it sees—and which no sane person can fail to see.
“We have watched the newspapers and the radio” says the Highland
Echo in an editorial of November 30, “work the American public into
a furious hysteria which bodes no good for themselves or the world.
Unfortunately, as things are, they are called upon to make decisions
of world-shaking importance, and the plain truth is that.in their
dementia they are quite incapable of rational thought.” Wai spoken
Highland Echo, fs ; : ;

For us in Canada the solution is simple. ‘Cut loose from this
dollar-crazed Yankee bedlam and let an independent Cahada legislate,
speak, and act for peace and international goodwill — for a United
Nations representing the common people of nations, free from the

Mental blight of atomic-dollar domination. .
