t If the shoe were on the other foot , By LESLIE MORRIS ae US suppose that President Kennedy’s shoe were on euler Khrushchev’s foot and a “Krushehev Doctrine” ees pounced to the world. What would it likely BEV oO “this: anguage similar to Kennedy’s? It could go something like +t The Soviet Union cannot remain indifferent to the efforts of : € United States of America to promote the Western way of life oe enon the world; and it reserves the right to act to pro- Meroe Mankind from subversive influence of capitalist ideas. : Das the Socialist free world cannot be expected to be the caine victim of efforts to encircle it with a ring of military aN in Turkey, Iran, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Okinawa, the illipines, West Germany, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Aus- Melia, Cambodia, Malaya, Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, North ) ioreas and elsewhere. : < eag Socialist states reserve the right to act, regardless of ‘plo €s, to prevent the export of capitalist ideas, of unem- ; yment, of monopoly in the means of life, and will train ’ Soci 8rm guerilla detachments to prevent the infection of the : alist states by the bacillus of free enterprise.” 0 eae to put it into words reveals how absolutely opposed abe ything of the sort Soviet policy is. And yet—that is the in ag of what Kennedy said on behalf of the United States _ Proclaiming his Doctrine. Nera Khrushchev dealt with this in his letter of April 22, a the Canadian daily press suppressed.

Erickson is one of a six-member delegation of Canadian workers here for the May Day celebrations at the invitation of Soviet trade unions. As a building trades work- ers with 1,000 carpenters in his union out of work in Van- eouver alone. Erickson mar- velled that under socialism there was a pressing demand for such labor and that unem- ployment was a thing of the past. Interviewed by the paper Evening Moscow, Erickson said: “My irade is a very ordinary one. I am a carpen- ter. That’s why I am specially glad to be here on this holi- day in your country where the work of the ordinary man is so highly honored. “How much you have achieved here! The new con- sruction in Moscow, modern industrial plants, wonderful theatres — all these are the fruits of your labor — and best of all, of course, was the space ship that along with its pilot Yuri Gagarin carried the Soviet Union’s prestige to un- precedented leights.” Other Canadians who saw the May Day parade on Red Square were Walter Tickson, of Nanaimo, B.C., from the Fishermens Union; Mark Mosh- er, of Port Alberni, B.C., from the Longshoremens Union; Don Byers, from Swift Cur- rent, Sask. Chemical Workers Ernie Smith, of Regina, Sask., from the Canadian Brother- hood of Railway, Transport and General Workers; and Clem Oxengren, from Wey- burn, Sask., of the Public Ser- vice Employees union. “MARCH FOR PEACE” IN MOSCOW Hundreds of thousand of Moscovites took part in a spectacular four - hour ‘march for peace” on May Day, flood- ing the streets with their. ban- ners and floats. The “march- ing for peace’ idea has caught on throughout the West, but only in tke socialist world is the power of the people’s will for peace released to the full. Moscow’s May Day march has a thrilling example of this. Thousands of banners, both large and small, told the world that the Soviet people wanted peace and this would be won by work and economic ad- vance. ON TV IN EUROPE Workers throughout Europe saw these slogans and the peo- ple of Moscow marching for MASS DEMONSTRATIONS SWEEP SOUTH VIETNAN. Photo shows people in My-tho province protesting the policies of the U.S.-Ngo Dinh Diem clique and demanding dissolution of the unpopular government which is being kept in power by U.S. military support. of the Oil and; Moscow’s May Day was tele- vised for the first time U nion;| throughout the major capitals of Europe. May Day here was truly bigger and brighter than ever. Bigger because of Gagarin’s epic flight around the world. He reviewed the parade along with Premier Khrushchev and President Brezhnev from. the reviewing stand. : It was bigger and more meaningful because together with the new power wielded by the Soviet Union for peace in the world and the solidar- ity of the working people everywhere. Cuba has been able to throw off U.S.-backed armed invasion of its territory. May Day was bigger and brighter here because the Soviet Union continues to make mighty advances in its own economic seven year plan as well as extending a fratern- al hand of aid to all underde- veloped countries and former colonies now seeking an inde- pendent life. RECORD SUCCESS On the eve of May Day the Soviet Union’s central statisti- cal board of the council of ministers announced that the plan for gross industrial out- put was carried through by 102.5 percent in the first three months of the year, that out- put was up by nine percent compared to last year, that spring seeding was. well under- way and that construction was booming across the land. The understandable pride of the Soviet people in Gagarin’s accomplishment could be seen in the space theme throughout the parade. A space ship “The Vostok” was set off just opposite the reviewing stand while at the same time white doves flew into the air. The young girls and boys who have tradition- ally presented flowers to the reviewing stand arrived this year in a space ship and clad in dashing space suits. Com- bined with the colorful and lively displays of the youth and sports clubs it all adds up* to an unforgettable May Day. May 12, 1961—PACIFIC TRIBUNE—Page 11
