peddling its poison-pen

Canadian headquarters of the
League is in Walters Falls, On-
tario, according to a rubber-stamp-
ed address appearing on the pam-
phlets currently being distributed.

Two vicious pamphlets now being
circulated by the League are writ-
ten by the American fascist Robert
H. Williams.

One is titled Know Your Enemy
and-is an hysterical attack upon
Jews and Communists. According
to Williams (who is a member of
the U.S. Military Intelligence Re-
serve) all Jews are Communists,
and vice-versa. A second pam-
phlet is devoted to attacking the
Anti-Defamation League in the
United States.

Williams denounces “propaganda
designed to create a Brahmin
privileged race in America through
the passage of the mis-called Fair
Employment Practices measures
and laws making anti-Semitism a
crime.” His remedy: “Drastic gov-
ernment action to break up the
secret defamation leagues, the
Communist party and all other
groups which prey on racism and
Anglo-Saxon idealism.”

Williams proposes “rollinge back
the Red tide all over the fringe
states and inside Russia itself.”
He advocates finding ways “to
smuggle in small arms” to “resis-
tance groups.”

Other Williams’ proposals:

@ Send all the Jews to New
Guinea. “It is downright stupid

to say there is no place left on this.

big earth for them.”

@ “Bar known pro-Communists
from positions where they may fan
the flames of revolution—the press,
the radio, movie production
studios, above all, labor unions.
Doubtless a law outlawing Com-
munist activities would cover this
requirement.” ‘4

@ “Break up the labor monop-
olies (the’closed shop and industry-
wide ‘bargaining), now while we
are at peace and while the people,
including more than half of the
industrial workers themselves,
are demanding individual freedom
and individual responsibility in the
field of competition.”

That Williams and other fan-
atics are peddling such rubbish
in the United States is cause for
concern — but when similar
groups of fascist-minded Cana-
dians organize to carry out such
@ program in this country, it’s
high time the authorities investi- |
gated their activities. What's be-
ing done to curb the Canadian
anti-Communist League by our
law-enforcement agencies? The
answer to date is—exactly noth-
ing. !

Might as well make this an all-baseball column for a chans®
An eminent Big Brain from a university declared a while bac t
that there is no such thing as a curve in baseball (hardball, tha’
is). All an ontical illusion, he said. The ball really travels in 4 ~
straight line. And he produced a maze of figures to prove it.

Howls of indignation went up from ball players who
broken their backs time and again swinging at curves. But 2°
9st of them were not mathematical geniuses and couldn’t unde
stand the atomic theory or cube root, they were baffled by t
prof’s figures.

(where Abe Lincoln grew up) and proved the prof was wacky 42 :

At its last meeting, the 6000-

Local 1-217, the largest local in

after being asked by the IFLWU
for support in its appeal for re-
instatement which will be made
at the CCL convention to be held
in Vancouver next month.

The official CCL notice says the
expulsion was based upon a state-
ment issued to the press and pub-

which the leaders of the Canadian
Congress of Labor and the Trades
and Labor Congress were charged
with betraying the interests of the

“We would like to thank the!

Jack Brierley, district representa-
tive of the IFLWU here. “Their
stand, together with the support

ions across the country, will great-
ly encourage other locals to de-
