adians transformed into mere hew-

We express our common concern
as to the real purpose of President
Nixon’s visit to Canada on April
15-18. There exists a grave danger
that he comes not as a friend of the
Canadian people but as “the en-
forcer” of a pirate policy on behalf
of the U.S. imperialist syndicate.
The Canadian people, and in the
first place the organized labor move-
ment, must be on guard against any
deal by their Government to barter
away more of Canada’s precious
resources, industry, markets and in-
dependence.

The struggle for genuine Cana-.

dian independence cannot be left in
the hands of the representatives of
Canadian monopoly because of their
narrow-greedy class interests, as
exemplified by the junior partner-
ship role of sections of Canadian
monopoly with U.S. imperialism.
Rather it is the role of the Canadian
working class and its democratic
allies to lead the struggle to win
genuine Canadian: independence.

3 End Indochina war

The war the United States Gov-
ernment wages in Indochina con-
tinues in defiance of an outraged
world opinion. All opinion polls as
well as massive demonstrations,
marches and petitioning on the part
of millions of our citizens attest to
the overwhelming consensus of the
citizens of our countries that the
Nixon Government must immediate-
ly end its war in Indochina and
promptly withdraw all of its forces
from the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Every
day of this shameless war of ag-
gression and vengeful genocide by

humanity. We urge the immediate
seating in the United Nations of the
two German states — the German
Federal Republic and the Democra-
tic Republic of Germany, and the
Korean states.

The imprisonment and the stag-
ing of a trial on the basis of scan-
dalously fabricated charges of the
heroic peace and freedom advocate,
the youthful Black woman leader
and Communist—Angela Davis, is a
travesty on American judicial pro-
cesses. We appeal to world public
opinion to demand that Angela
Davis be freed, that this farcical
legal proceeding be condemned as
an attempt to stage a legal lynching
to terrorize all democratic forces
fighting reaction for ending the
Vietnam war,, for the freedom rights
of Black Americans, for the cause
of the working class and socialism.

We support the continuing strug-
gle of Black Americans against ra-
cism, for equality and the securing
of their full rights. We support the
right of the French Canadian peo-
ple for national self-determination.
We oppose all forms of discrimina-
ton, anti-Semitism and chauvinism.

In achieving this historic task the -

Canadian working class will be
‘supported by the class conscious
workers of the USA, and particu-
larly by the Communist Party of the
USA. This is so because effective
struggle against international capi-
tal such as the General Motors in-
ternational syndicate of robber-
exploiters requires international
struggle. Immediately, the CPUSA
supports the struggle of Canadians
to block further take-overs of Cana-
dian resources, energy and industry
by U.S. imperialism, the imposition
of restrictive import quotas and the
removal of the safeguards in the
Automotive Pact and the strength-
ening of Canadian control over the
economy through public ownership.

In the course of their participa-
tion in the struggle for genuine
Canadian independence the trade
unions in Canada will quite natu-
rally need’ to assert the sovereign
rights and independence of the
Canadian unions, the majority of
which .are simply branches of Ame-
rican unions. When this comes to

losses to the American people. It
has intensified the crisis features of
U.S. and world imperialism. It has
spurred inflationary processes and
deepened recession in the economy
of the U.S. and other countries, in-
cluding Canada, which are caught
in its web of unequal trade, mone-
tary and business relations. —

We express our appreciation to
the people of Canada for their hos-
pitality and care for the thousands
of young soldier-heroes of the bat-

tle for ending the war in Vietnam —

and call for creating conditions for
their return to their homes in the
USA with honor.

We call for the peoples of our
countries to increase popular activi-
ties to compel an end to the aggres-
sion in the Middle East, for the
withdrawal of Israel from the ter-
ritories it has occupied and for a
settlement of the conflict in con-
formity with the principles of the
UN Security Council resolution of
November 1967.

We call for the withdrawal of
armed forces and dismantling of
bases on the territories of other
states. In this connection we de-

Confident of future

)

Our parties, the Communist Party
of Canada and the Communist
Party of the United States, look to
the future with confidence.

We foresee the certainty of the
advance of the working class and
the majority of democratic-minded

_peoples of Canada and the United

States along the determined path of
anti-monopoly struggles which will
lead inevitably onto the highroad
of the decisive struggle for radical
social change and democratic reno-
vations in the political structure
toward socialism. :

We affirm the outstanding lesson
of the experience of our working
classes, that unity in struggle, inter-
national solidarity and adherence
to the guiding ideas of the ever cre-
ative science of social revolution—
Marxism-Leninism — is the key to
a bright and victorious future for
our two peoples.
