‘Mischief, thou art afoot’ K's are flying high on the possible retirement of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent early in 1952. As is customary in such* matters of high political strategy, St. Laurent is sticking to the time- honored technique of his late Liberal mentor, Mackenzie King, and keeping silent. It is also rumored that St. Laurent is already slated to be the first Canadian to go to Rideau Hall as governor-general, as a reward for his “great contribution” to the public weal. That one is entirely over our heads, but doubtless the boys who rake in unprecedented _ profits and dividends from wheat agreements that cheat the farmers, __ beef export policies that force horsemeat on the public, arms contracts _* for a war that the people do not want and trade policies that are delivering Canada’s natural resources to the U.S., will know what is meant by “‘public weal’’. . ' It could be that the projected re-shuffle in high Liberal circles heralds the consummation of a period—the surrendering of Canada body and soul to the Men of Wall. Street, whose plans for war are geared to 1952. The government has sown the wind and its fear of the harvest is expressed in the ‘mounting opposition and. wrath of the Canadian people against the war policies of the government. t St. Laurent __ Whatever else may be said of the closing days of Mackenzie _ King and the regime of his protege St. Laurent, one fact is indisputable —their insistent refusal since the end of the war to make Canada a mighty voice for world peace and their equal insistence and determina- tion to transform this great country into a backyard appendage of warmongering Y\ankee imperialism. disaster for Canada, from which not even the cloistered seclusion of Rideau Hall can provide escape. “Now let it work!

The commercial press gave Harry’ splen- etic blurp a big play. ‘ At the time we didn’t pay much attention fc this periodic windstorm from Washington, threaten- ing to “hold” the Hungarian government “to ac- count” for something or other that: had caused a disturbing flutter among the .atomic: ‘‘peace” doves of Wall Street. A lot of people like ourselves probably passed it off-as just another evidence of the creeping madness that has seized upon the rul- ing circles of Yankee imperialism, Who doesn’t remember (back, in our more youthful days), how the school bully used to howl when the tables were turned, or in later years when some vest-pocket politician, caught in‘ the act of fouling his wn nest, sought to cover up his guilt by noisily accusing those who turned the public spotlight on his political knavery? P This week we learned just what caused Haber- dasher Harry’s “virtuous” wrath to erupt upon the Hungarian People’s Republic; a 41l-page transcript of the indictment and trial of Jozsef Grosz and his nine accomplices. We say “nine” accomplices ad- visedly because, although there were only nine in the dock before a Hungarian people’s court, one was absent (in person)—Harry’ Truman!’ Archbishop Jozsef Grosz and his’ eight accom- plices were indicted tried and sentenced, for organ- izing and leading a conspiracy, aimed at the over- throw of the Hungarian People’s Republic, and other crimes, These criminals were the clerical and gen- darmerie off-scourings of past Horthy royalist-fascist regimes, tutored in counter-revolution by the notor- ious Cardinal Josef Mindczenty (now serving a life prison term in Hungary for the same crime), and financed and encouraged by the joint hierarchy of the Vatican and the U.S. State Department. Of the nine so accused, seven were high or middle dignatories of the Catholic Church. In viola- , tion of their calling as apostles of the Prince of Peace, hiding their crimes behind the cloth of their calling; these criminals selected a “government” for Hungary, made up of elements of past royalist, clerical, and fascist regimes—a “government” ap- proved by the Vatican and the Men of Wall Street. Their weapons to achieve this end were the murder of prominent Hungarian citizens and government officials, armed insurrection, with arms supplied by the enemies of the Hungarian people, and the promise of “ a Marshall-aid of $296-rmillion for the (new) provisional government”, if and when it came to power. In the interim, there were plenty of Yankee dollars to keep the’ counter-revolutionary fires well stoked! : ; : Confronted with the irrefutable evidence of their crimes, evidence that flowed in a direct line from Rome and: Washington to the U.S. embassy in Hun- gary, these miserable bourgeois royalist-cum-fascist scum freely admitted their guilt.
