PPE Sat Bare rare ‘ “All who want peace must eo, Ff @ now unite —cndicott | “The time has come when those who are sincere in their desire to have peace must decide they are willing to cooperate with anyone and everyone for this objee- tive,” This was the call of Dr. James G. Endicott, chairman of. the Canadian Peace Congress in his closing address at the Rally for Peace and Disarmament, held Feb. 7 in Toronto’s historic Massey Hall. The audience of more than 2,000 applauded Dr. Endicott as he called on them and all Canadians to effective work not just in protesting against war,.but in the task of making peace. “We are going’ to win these ‘objectives,’ he asserted, “and before very long.” Dr. Endicott, for many years 4 missionary in China drew special attention to the dan- gers of war in the Far East, as a result of continued at- tacks upon China by the forces of Chiang Kai-shek, armed and trained by the United States. Dr. Endicott “was preceded on the program by two world: famous citizens of the United States. . First there was Dr. W: E. Bi DuBois, venerable Negro edu- cationalist, author and social scientist who years ago help- ed found the National Associ- ation for the Advancement of the Colored People, and now, at the age of 91, is still a re- nowned leader in the struggle for peace and human progress. Dr. DuBois showed the ré- jationship between the drive to war and the exploitation of the colonial. peoples. He spoke of the 400 black miners in South Africa who lie dead be- - cause of the demands of Lon- don, Paris and New York for gold; of the 17,000 black Afri- cans who toil in the copper mines of Northern Rhodesia for wages of $37 a year or a total of $600,000, while 1,700 white workers earn $214 mil- lion and white investors reap a@ profit of $20 million. It is to’ maintain vast profits like this, he said, that big business in Western Europe and Amer- ica supports war under the pre- text of the threat of Commun- ism. “It is from them and not from socialists that we must |demand war no more.” . Second feature speaker was Rockwell Kent, introduced by the chairman as not only a world famous artist, but also a “writer, explorer, farmer, architect and worker for peace.” He delighted the audience with his pointed jibes at the position in which Canada is placed by U.S.. “help” to~ our economy and our international affairs. ‘We'll help you with your culture too,” he quipped. “You can learn from J. Edgar Hoover.” He told how a U.S. missile site is -being located at his home near Plattsburg N-Y:, and tests in the Pacific have prov- en their pin-point accuracy. But “our missiles’ at Platts- burg, he remarked, “‘might not be much better * than those -we’ve been testing at — is it. Cape. Carnivorous? — they: might not even get further than Montreal.” - : In more serious vein, he stressed that many of his fel- low countrymen have now vis- ited the Soviet Union. “Many have loved it, some haven’t liked it, some ‘think: it’s awful, but what difference
