The summer games will be held July 19-August 5 next year in Hel- Sinki, and the winter games in Oslo, February 14-25. The Soviet newspaper Pravda, in & recent dispatch from Finland, Teported that there was a move- Ment in that country to make the 1952 Olympics a festival of peace as well as a festival of sport, a Proposal the newly-forméd Soviet Olympic Committee strongly sup- Ports, ‘Soviet athletes are expected to make a good showing at both sum- mer and. winter Olympics. Even during the most critical periods of the Second World War the USSR continued to stress the importance of, athletics. Many sportsmen in other countries raised their eye- brows in amazement when, reading reports of the Red Army’s gallant stand before Moscow in the autumn of 1941, they learned that a foot- ball Cup Final played in the capital at the height of the battle, between Moscow Dynamo and Moscow Spar- tak, attracted 55,000 spectators! ‘There is very little “profes- sional” sport in the Soviet Union (the only real professionals are wrestling groups which perform at circuses) but amateur status is of a different type from that of North American countries. The USSR adheres to the “broken time” rule also used in some European countries. Men and women selected to represent their club, society or country, are paid wages equal to those lost through time off from work. Representative teams of Soviet footballers, boxers, wrestlers, gym- nasts, cyclists, skiers and basket- ball players have competed in many countries since the war, and held their own with ease. The soccer team which toured England created a sensation, defeating many First Division clubs. JohnCameron says CCF split because leadership fails to carry out wishes of rank-file By TOBIE HOGARTH CUMBERLAND, B.C. That May Day is dear to the hearts of the miners, in Cumberland as a day of work- ing class solidarity and for labor’s rights, was clearly demonstrated here this year. In- dignant over the attempt made by several school trustees to interfere with the estab- lished tradition of closing schools on May 1 to-*enable children to participate with their Parents in the May Day parade and rally, record crowds turned out this year and filled the grandstand in city park to Capacity, John Cameron, president of the Cumberland local of the United Mine Workers of America, shared the ispeakers’ platform with Jean are, vice-president of the United lectrical Workers Union. In his opening remarks, Cameron Sharply warned school trustees against attempting to interfere With the miners’ traditions. “The Ted bogey is a discredited method Used by bosses, politicians and cer- tain trade union leaders, for the Purpose of dividing and weakening € working class,” he said. Cameron denounced the aggres- Sive designs of American imperial- ism in Korea and condemned the ‘Policies gf the Attlee government, Which “would send battleships EM NGAP GRAND OPENING SWEDISH PARK May 12, 1951 Dancing’ 9-12 Refreshments - Admission 50c’ Scheer sapere cer NEST DUR against the Iranian people because hey are rebelling against exploita- tion .by the British capitalists.” In speaking pf the support the CCF leadership gives to the St. Laurent government, Cameron stated: “The CCF is split because the leadership does not carry out the wishes of the rank-and-file.” Jean Pare told of the struggles of French Canadian workers for trade union rights and against ex- ploitation. He stressed the need of trade unionists to fight against profiteers who gain from war. Perhaps the outstanding fea- ture of May Day this year was the large group of veteran and disabled miners who headed the parade from city hall to the park, and occupied honorary seats. on the speakers’ platform. Without speaking at all, they told the story of May Day best. These miners, who are now un- able to go down into the bowels of the earth to dig coal, spoke with | PENDER AUDITORIUM (Marine Workers) 339 West Pender LARGE & SMALL HALLS FOR RENTALS their hard-beaten bodies, with their crutches and broken limbs.

Chief Expressing the alarm of Duplessis and St. Laurent at the growth of the French-Canadian clubs of the LPP, and -fearing the influence of the party’s program for peace, Langlois .claimed that Gui Caron, one of the chief architects of the \party’s program to defend the na- tional and social interests of the French-Canadian people, is not the “real” leader of the LPP in Que- bec. In a racist appeal, Langlois said that the real “boss” is a mysteri- ous._man whose name “cannot be divulged” who “preaches the Red cause to the English-speaking ele- ment of the LPP, composed here mostly of people of central Euro- pean extraction.” Taking a leaf from the USS. at- torney - general's. blacklist book, Langlois listed seven organizations as “subversive,” including four na- tional culture organizations. One of the seven listed, the Civil Liberties Union, protested the ac- tion, saying: “The primary function of the CLU is to defend civil liberties in our province which denies many of its ‘citizens; the elementary rights of the four freedoms .. . We base our activities on the Uni- versal Declaration of Human Rights and Fundamental Free- doms adopted by the United Ua- tions with the approval of the Canadian government. “The Quebec government, toge- ther with the Montreal ‘subversive’ squad have consistently violated every rule of civil rights which our Canadian government solemnly un- dertook, as a,.member of the United Nations. Our organization has pro- tested the persecttion of labor leaders and the attempt to smash Catholic and international unions; the deprival of minority religious rights for the Jehovah Witnesses: a Padlock Act which has no parallel anywhere on the North American continent and reflects unfavorably on Quebec citizens.” Ry Admitting that “there has been no evidence yet that Communists here are being trained in sabotage work,” Langlois said that “the reds intend to sabotage certain strategic places if and when war comes.” In_a statement unprecedented in Canadian annals Langlois, who is a civil servani, called for the banning of the Labor-Progressive party. He confessed that the theme of his whole statement was taken from J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI in the USS.
