HE need to dam the flood of vile

Yankee “comics” ‘pouring into every
Canadian community was illustrated
last week in a new threat to the com-
monweal. :
‘Tt is a disturbing thought that, de-
Spite the efforts of numerous organiz-
ations and interested citizens to have
governments at all levels work to en-
force the Fulton Act, designed to ‘pro-
‘tect our children and young folks gen-
erally from the vile degeneracy of the
Sex, gangster, murder and lurid war
‘propaganda of those Yankee ‘comic’
Strips and magazines, the stuff contin-
ues to pour into Canada in a veritable
_ Niagara.

From: press reports it now appears
this poisonous epidemic has infiltrated
tthe ranks of the (RCMP. The story
comes out of Regina. Seems like the
_ boys up at the RCMP barracks with a
‘few beers under their scarlet and gold

fall a prey to the megalomania of the

ankee “supermen’” ‘and shoot «each
other up a bit. The symptoms of this
Megalomania are not unlike those of
Many of the poor unfortunates-in our
mental institutions, who regard them-
Selves as Julius Caesar, Napoleon or
P. T Barnum. The main difference,
‘of course, being that while these poor
Souls are happily unarmed, the Moun-
tie who casts himself in the role of
“King of the Mounted” the syndicated

(King Features) Yankee comic strip
and starts taking pot’ shots at another
Mountie who, gun in hand, insists he
is “Preston of the NWMP” (an earlier
vintage), something is bound to hap-
ipen—and did! To cut it short, Con-
Stable Herring (not “Red”), in the role
of “King of the Mounted” shoots ‘Con-
Stable Nelligan as “Preston of the
“NWMP” dead as a mackarel.

A coroner’s jury, noting that the
boys had been tossing ‘bottles through
barrack room windows in a “quietly
boisterous” ‘manner, h
With a verdict of “accidental death
thus proving ‘that upon occasion, coro-
her’s juries can be grimly humorous in
their disposal -of the victims of comic
‘Strip hallucinations!

Tt is scarcely likely that the
. RCMP commsisioner will heed our
800d advice, particularly since our
owh youngsters often ignore it on
the game grounds, but we think
it is time he issued a diktat to his

“Scarlet Riders” instructing them to
Cease and desist reading Yankee comic
‘strips. These “King of the Mounted
delirium tremens are ‘hard on the tax-
Payers,. who look to the Mounties to
keep ‘Canada free of ‘these Yankee
Zangsterized “comics,” rather than

themselves demonstrating its demoral- |

izing effectiveness in barrack-room

_ Who said “crime doesn’t pay”? It
ll depends upon who the criminals
are. On September 17, Chancellor Kon-
tad Adenauer told the ‘West German
Parliament that “the West (meaning
the U.S. and British military occupa-
tion authorities) has freed 75 percent

of the German war criminals in the —

\

came through

last two years,” and the Bonn stooge

of Yankee imperialism expressed ‘the
hope for “the early release of most of
tthe others.” Of course, Adenauer
didn’t refer to Hitler’s death-oven stok-
ers as “criminals” ‘but as “our com-
patriots”!

The concern of “‘the West” for: the
wellbeing of these Hitlerite savages is
most touching! Extracts from the evi-
dence given in 1955 by S.S. Doctor
Trezebinski, one of the murderers of
the Neuengamme ‘Concentration Camp
near Hamburg, illustrate the species
of human spawn “the 'West” wants to
turn loose upon the world to advance

-the cause of “freedom and Christian
civilization.” :

The doctor is speaking about child-
ren: little boys and girls caught in the
gears of the German war maichine—
which the Trumans, St. Laurents,
\Churchills et al want to resurrect and
refurbish. s

“After a while Squad Leader Frahm
came in and told the children to un-
dress. I told them it was for a typhus
injection. Then I took Frahm outside
and asked him what was going to
happen He told me I should hang the
children.

“I gave the children injections of
morphium ... and when they got tired
I laid them on the floor and covered
them with their clothes.

“About 20 minutes later Frahm came
back, took a 12 year old lad on his arm,
and said to the others ‘I am just taking
him to bed.’ He went into a room about
eight yards away, and placed the sleep-
ing boy’s head in a noose which he had
already prepared. ;

“Then Frahm grasped the boy’s feet,
and dragged them down with all his
force so that the noose closed.

“J did not feel very well, So I went
“away. ..- ;

“when I came back dawn was break-
ing, and all the children had gone
from the air raid shelter. Only their
bundles and toys lay on the floor. I
found Frahm and he opened up the
other room. All the children were
lying there with the marks of hang-
ing round their necks, and I examined
each child to make sure he was d 2,

The “defense” of these Nazi swine
today ‘by “the West,” which now re-
quires their services, is ‘that they “‘were
only carrying out ‘the orders of their
superior.” Only a few weeks ago the
British authorities in West Germany,

carrying out the instructions of their.

Yankee ipaymasters, released nine
more of the worst Nazi killers who
thad originally been sentenced to death
for ithe mass murder of allied prison-'
ers and slave laborers, confined in Hit-
Jerite prison camps. ek
The group that U.S. Commissioner
Donnelly is now insisting must ‘be
saved “for the preservation of our
democratic way of life” include the
(Nazi deputy ‘Fuehrer, Rudolph Hess;
‘the sea wolves whose sub raiders prey-
ed upon défenseless shipping, Admiral
(Erich Raeder and Admiral Karl Dven-
itz; banker Walter Funk who, together
with Schacht financed the Nazi party;
the slick diplomat, Konstantin von
‘Neurath, the Hitler Youth leader Bal-
dur von Schirach and munitions pro-
ducer Albert Speer. Alfred Krupp,
head of the great Krupp works, has
already been set free and all his gigan-
tie fortune and death dealing ‘plants re-
stored.'to him intact.
Shades of 'Col. John McCrae!
- To you from falling hands we throw
“The Torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shal not sleep, though poppies

grow

They must not die

wero are the Rosenbergs? ‘To two little boys of 5 and 9 years

they are Dad and Mom. To ‘their immediate neighbors they
are good warm-hearted people. To their larger social and cultural
circles they are progressive Americans, who believe in peace and
human dignity, the kind that has made America great. To you
and I, far removed from Sing Sing’s “death row’’ with its electric
chair at the end of the corridor for burning out life, they. are only
names—but names associated with the ideal of a world living in
peace and universal fellowship.

Who were Sacco and Vanzetti, the Negro Scottsboro boys,
Tom Mooney, ’Gene Debs, Willie McGee or a legion of other
sacrificial victims of Wall Street? “To you and I and millions like
us in Canada they were mostly names—but names associated with
the ideal of a world in which peoples of all races, creeds and colors
could live and work in peace and happiness.

Around the banner of these names millions of workers rallied
for their right to live, to life. Some were snatched from the bloody
hands of Wall Street’s hangmen, and many, because of our too
feeble effort, perished at the hands of this bloody reaction.

Today Julius and Ethel Rosenberg sit in the Sing Sing death
house under sentence of death, convicted of being ‘spies’ for the
USSR by a court ruled by hysteria, bigotry and fear. Hitler fired
the German Reichstag to provide a ‘‘moral’’ pretext for plunging
the world into a devastating and cruel war. Yankee imperialism
has framed two Jewish-American citizens to provide the “‘moral”’
backdrop for its atomic war upon democratic progress. Julius .
and Ethel-Rosenberg are convicted as ‘‘spies’’ because they are Jews

and because they are Americans who stand for peace—for every-

thing that the hysterical witch-hunters of Wall Street hate and fear.

At this moment there are only two forces that stand between
this working class husband and wife and death at the hand of
their Yankee executioners: the ‘‘clemency’”’ of President Harry S.
Truman—and the million-voiced protest of people like you and I.
The first is a weak teed. The man whose command blotted out
the aged and the infant in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is scarcely
likely to rise far enough above the hysteria of his class to save the
lives of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. It is too much to hope for—
or risk. This task therefore belongs to us. We failed to save
Sacco and Vanetti because our voice was too weak. Let us not
fail again. i

Every decent Canadian citizen; every organization; every
man, woman, and child who can write a few simple words ex-
pressing this thought; Save the Rosenbergs from judicial murder,

should send this demand without delay to President Harry Tru-

man and Attorney-General Howard McGrath at Washington, D.C. —

That is where most of the orders. vitally affecting the well-
being of Canadians come from these cold war days. Let us send
some decisive orders back. 4 oe

; Act today. Tomorrow the death switch in the hands of Wall
Street’s obedient executioners may be-ordered closed.
