AS we go to press the long-
awaited Summit meeting in
Paris is over — torpedoed by the
Eisenhower billionaire cabinet of
U.S. imperialism.

Millions of peoples in all lands
who looked with confidence and
hope towards the Summit for the
dawning of real peace and an end
to the coldwar arms race are al-
ready feeling the numb sensation
of a terrible let-down.
_ The wreckage of the U.S. U-2
Spy plane shot down from Soviet
Skies two weeks ago contained
much more than the vocational
tools of U.S. espionage. Among the
debris of this monstrous provoca-
tion against the Soviet Union and
almed at scuttling the Summit,
there can be seen the shoddy rem-
nants of official U.S: integrity,
decency, and honesty of purpose.

et red-handed in a hostile
act of aggression against the
USSR, and unable, after a few
; initial attempts to lie its way out

of this dastardly act, the Eisen-
hower administration reluctantly
admitted the truth of Soviet
charges of espionage.

On the eve of the Summit con-
ference that was bad enough, but
not irreparable. That came later
when USS. Secretary of state
Christian Herter brazenly an-
nounced that the U.S. “had no in-
tention of stopping such flights,”
that _they would be “continued,”

Sians for the “necessity” of such

TO a succes

Summit failure.

Today one must measure the
worth of the U.S. “spirit” of Camp
David against the wreckage of a
U.S. espionage plane on Soviet
territory on the eve of a Summit
for peace. Its worthlessness pre-
sents a grave danger to world
peace; it also brings home a new
realization of the dangerous posi-
tion of Canada, entangled as we
are in the war adventures and
provocations of U.S. imperialism.

The Soviet warning to Norway,
Pakistan and Canada on U.S. air
bases in these: countries, from
which U.S. imperialism can launch
aggressive acts against the Soviet
Union, cannot be sneezed off as
“Russian propaganda.” Having
granted such bases to the U.S., we
in Canada are directly responsible
for their uses. On a recent TV pro-
gram the Prime Minister of Paki-
stan pleaded he “didn’t know the
destination of the U-2 or other
US. planes taking off from Paki-
stan bases.”

In the interests of peace he and
others like him, including our own
Foreign Minister Howard Green,
must make it their business to
“know”; and not only to know, but
as speedily as possible terminate
the use of all such bases and in-
stallations of U.S. military forces

sful Summit meeting

The need for a declaration of
Canadian neutrality was never
more pressing. A neutral Canada
means survival and the role of
peacemaker, instead of “powder-
money” to U.S. imperialism. It
means an end to the arms race,
bleeding a nation white; an end to
the criminal farce of NATO and
NORAD as instruments of so-
called “defence.” To see these U.S.
projects as they really are, weap-

‘Prosperity’

HAMBER of Commerce ty-

annual convention in Vancouver
this week heard Federal Finance
Minister Donald “Flim - Flam”
Fleming portray a rosy word pic-
ture of “prosperity” for 1960.

In the Fleming portrait on
“prosperity” there were some in-
tricate etchings about “a sustain-
able rate of growth in terms of
employment,” the “mis-allocation
of capital . . . tending to diminish
the potential productivity of new
investment” and similar gobble-
degook. However nary a word on a

U-2 shows them up to be.

The first and most. important
job facing all Canadians in their
efforts to win a successful Summit
agreement for peace and world
disarmament, is to end U.S. mil-
itary and air occupation of Cana-_
dian territory and skies, thereby
assuring -other nations that our
actions corresrond to our words.
That unlike the U.S., we can still
hold the honor of being believed—

E members of the Canadian
House of Commons join
with members of the Senate of the
U.S. to whole-heartedly welcome
the Moral Re-Armament cast of
the German play ‘Hoffnung’ (Hope)
to North America.”

So runs a coldwar “testimonial”
Supporting the Adenauer anti-
Communist “drama” recently stag-
ed in Vancouver and-other Cana-
dian cities by a cast of alleged
Ruhr miners. A pro-nazi play as
dead and odoriferous as the putrid
corpse of Goebbels. 2

Among the twelve Liberal and
Tory M.P.’s who appended their
names to this MRA “Hoffnung”
garbage and its high praise of West
German Konrad Adenauer, are
two Tories from British Columbia;
John Taylor M.P. (Vancouver-Bur-
rard) and W. C. Henderson M.-P.
(Caribou).

of MRA Pictorial: with Britain’s
*Socialist’ M.P. John McGovern

Among recent MRA publications -
we received in the mails is a copy -

occupying the front’ cover. Inside

McGovern and another Tory “Sir”
are pictured beside the famed -
Brandenburg Gate, and_ telling
West Berlin’s social democratic
mayor Willi Brandt “we are here
because our freedom and yours is
being defended in Berlin.” Thus
do the pieces of MRA as a Fifth
Column of revanchist Nazism fall
neatly into place. t

All of these recent MRA publica-
tions, including William Grogan’s
book, John Riffe of the Steel-
workers have one “secret” in com-
mon; all are understandably silent
on the close association between
MRA’s Buchman and other high
priests of the order with the Rome-
Berlin-Tokyo Axis of Hitler, Musso-
lini and Company during the late
30’s. They would like to forget the
“decorations’ Buchman received
from Hitler, even when the latter’
was flooding Europe in blood.

Boiled down from excess wor-
dage, Grogan’s John Riffe of the
Steelworkers is primarily a bid for
labor endorsation of MRA class-
collaborationist ideology, a deniat
of the class struggle, and. the sub-
stituting of “love” at the bargain-
ing table in lieu of such mundane
things as wages, working hours,
fringe benefits and so on. The
“need” to find a “new moral
climate” in which the exploiter
and the exploiter will find “God”
without the disturbing dialectics of
Das Kapital.

It also has another purpose; to

porate state’ behind its equally

‘tary brasshats; prime ministers and

promote the impression that organ-
ized labor, national and interna-
tionally, ‘‘endorses” MRA’s thinly
veneered pro-nazi bid for the ‘‘cor-

thin camouflage of “new moral
values.”’

Hence, in precisely the same
language as Hitler used, MRA Pic-
torial tells us ‘“Konrad Adenauer, -
whose political road would not
have been possible without his.
meeting with MRA,” is now guid-
ed in uniting the “free world...
to overcome Communism .. . and
the Communist peace offensive.”

Canadian voters would be well
advised to question their M.P.’s
who lend themselves for the dis-
tribution of MRA coldwar poison. ~
Two decades ago numerous Cana-
dian bankers, monopolists, mili-

lesser politicians, under the “‘tui-
tion” of MRA’s Frank Buchman,
were lauding Hitler as “a great
man with a great mission.’ For
this Buchman received a. medal
from Hitler, just as twenty years
later he receives another: medal
from Adenauer; the German Grand
Cross Order of Merit for his ability
to give revanchist nazism in West
Germany and its NATO promoters:
“a new moral value” in their war
conspiracies \ : :
Better give your M.P. the once
over on MRA ‘moral values”. That
poison added to Toryism makes a
stomach-revolting brew.
