The fact that the latest sorties
of Social Credit leaders against
International collaboration should
ave caused any surprise clear-
ly indicates that public opinion
has unfortunately been all too
Waware of what has been g0-
MZ on in the ranks of the
Party which today governs the
Province of Alberta.

During the past five years
the Social Credit party has
taken over all the fascist ideas
SMoked out in Europe and add-
€d some new wrinkles of its
awn, Today its leaders stand
Squarely behind a program of~
War abroad, camouflaged by
anti-Semitism, red-baiting, anti-
Sovieteering, that link the move-
ment with outright fascists at
home and abroad.

ANY Canadians have been sitting up to take notice of the speeches of Social
Credit members in the House of Commons during these past few weeks. News-
paper readers have been surprised and disturbed to find Social Credit members
Sneering at the United Nations, opposing effective Canadian collaboration, and con-

the idea of ‘one world.’

Norman Jacques. Speaking in
the House of Commons on the
same day as his comrade-in-
arms, Jacques declared: “The
greatest threat to world peace is
this idea of one world and
one-world government . .. There
are, in fact, two worlds at the
present time. If there.is to be
one world, then I say that one
of those worlds will have to be
eliminated.” Pic

Jacques left no doubt in his
listeners’ minds that the world
to be “eliminated’ consisted of
the countries of Eastern Eur-
ope. He also took the oppor-
tunity to repeat his _ stale
charges that a “small minority
of political Zionists ... have con-
trol, not only in the United
States,, but in Great Britain and
in Canada.” By ‘political Zion-
ists’ he of course means not the
Zionists alone but the Jews in
general.

His remarks bluntly revealed
what is implicit in everything
said by Social Credit leaders on
the UN; opposition to any form
of collaboration with the Soviet
Union and Eastern Europe, and
support of every form of reac-
tion and skullduggery which
leads to war.

: e

HE repeated excursions of

Jacques and his colleagues
into the dark byways of Jew-
baiting have already been wide-
ly noted by the labor press.
But today the whole question
presents itself in much sharper
form. Today the clique of rabble-
who have continually

rousers,
boasted of their ‘Canadian na-
tionalism’ and native purity,

have joined hands with inter-
national fascism.

This tie-up is best personified
by the ubiquitous Jacques, who
has been lending his raucous
spellbinding to fascist platforms
in the United States and ad-
vocating collaboration with such
American fascist elements as

Gerald L. K. Smith. On the
basis of these activities the Am-
erican Anti-Defamation League
has requested that he be barred
entry into the U.S.
e

ERALD L. K. SMITH is one

of the most virulent propa-
gandists of anti-Semitism in the
U.S. He and Jacques are now
bosom pals, according to
Jacques’ own boasting. The lat-
ter has journeyed across the bor-
der to address meetings organ-
ized by Smith and his colleagues
at Los Angeles, Detroit and
elsewhere. :

What he thinks of Smith is

told in an article in the Cana-
dian Social Crediter of Jan. 9,
1947, entitled, ‘Christian Nation-
alism or International Atheism?’

In the article, Jacques as
usual inveighs against “Shylock
and Marx,” and lumps “inter-
national Communism—Zionism—
the Anti-Defamation League
and the Comintern of Wall
Street and Moscow.” He warns
against those imaginary crea-
tures, “Zionism’s ‘red’ fifth col-
umnists,” and pictures Smith as
little less than a prophet.

Of Smith’s fascist colleagues,
whose Jew-baiting needs no re-
hearsing here, Jacques writes:

“The ‘more we see of Gerald
Smith’s enemies the more we
like his friends. In fact, we
have never met friendlier, pleas-
anter,. cleaner-living people than
these leaders and followers of
Christian nationalism gute
Smith deserves the gratitude
of all honorable critizens who
value wish to preserve the truth,
freedom, justice.”

According to Jacques, Smith
holds similar feelings for his
Canadian counterpart.

After describing their warm
friendship and collaboration,
Jacques then goes on to ask
whether Social Crediters should
associate themselves with

Smith’s so-called ‘Christian Na-
tionalists’ in the U.S.

“For Social Crediters,”’ he
answers, “there can be but one
answer. Fight on Macduff, and

damned be he who first cries
‘Hold! Enough.’”

Similar close ties with ‘Doug-
lasites’ in Australia, Britain and
elsewhere have for years been
an established fact.

And. thus, with poetry and
exalted sentiment, the collusion
between our own hate-mongers
and Gerald Smith has been pro-
claimed and sanctified. Those
who denounced every effort to
build peaceful international re-
lations as a ‘Jewish plot’ are
building a disruptive fascist in- ©
ternationale of their own. The
flannel-mouthed ‘defenders’ of
Canadian sovereignty are reach-
ing out to every continent to es-

tablish the international sov-
ereignty of reaction.
GS

As late as a year ago there

were still some people who
refused to take notice of the
ravings of Jacques, Solon Low

on 2

‘by these, ‘nationalist’

and other of their ilk. The bom-
bast and obvious lies employed
crusaders
led many to look upon them
as mere crackpots.

Today there is no room for
such stupid complacency, in view
of the fact that these ‘erack-
pots’ constitute the government
of Alberta, use the House of
Commons as a sounding board
for their propaganda filth, and
are lining up with similar ele-
ments wherever they can be
found.

The fight for peace in «the
world, and against rampaging
reaction at home, demands of
every Canadian, and every
Jewish-Canadian, most emphati-
cally, a clear appreciation of
what Jacques.and company are
up to. We are no longer deal-
ing with a ‘lunatic fringe’ that
can be persuaded to shut up. by
polite pleas or appeals to rea-
son. ae

Canadian democrats must meet
and defeat them in the public
arena where their lies and phil-
csophy of fate can be exposed
for what they are: attacks on
Canadian democracy and incite-
ment to war.
