This milestone birthday of Yornrade Buck’s falls in the 50th aniversary year of the Party of which he was a founder. Kivery member of the Communist Party and the Young Communist League joins with the Party’s central committee and its executive in mark- ing with pride and affection this ira- - portant day in the life of Comrade Tim and the Party. We will be joined by many socialist-minded and forward- looking Canadians across the length and breadth of our country in wishing Tim: Happy Birthday! This is so because Tim Buck’s life and political activity are inseparably linked with the founding, life and struggles of the Communist Party of Canada, and with the struggles, aims and aspirations of the workers, farm- ers, women and youth of Canada. The imprint of Tim Buck’s creative political and organizational talents, and those of the Party he led as its general secretary for over 30 years, are indelibly stamped upon the Cana- dian political and social scene. Tim. Buck’s name and the Party’s have been associated with the great struggies of the workers and farmers of Canada over the past 50 years. These struggles have taken place around such issues as industrial unionism, work and wages during the Great Depres- Sion, unemployment insurance, old age pensions, children’s allowances, peace and democPacy — against war and fas- cism, Canadian sovereignty and inde- pendent Canadian policies in respect to foreign affairs and internal develop- ment, a democratic Canadian constitu- tion based on the voluntary, equal union of the two nations of Canada, new economic policies of growth and full employment. The name of Tim Buck is closely associated also with the untiring ef- forts of the Communist Party of Can- ada for working class and people’s unity in struggie against capitalist exploita- tit Py z = Ris eas — oie a AF ay Ses vos rea TUCTOCUGUGUDUDUGUOUOGUAQQUGEOGRDROREUREUCQGHOUGUUEURORORGS PERGRGUGEDORGRGHGUGUCURORURGHGUQURGRGHOROCOUGCOCUCUCRULURUECUCURURUNGRGQURSUQCRORORQRECEOUGHORREGHORCHQUCUGUOUQUECCOEUCUCUOREGHGROUGEGRORORCUECECECECS Birthday Tim tion, to curb monopoly and imperialist violence against other peoples, to pre- vent aggressive wars, to preserve and extend democracy, and to crown the people’s democratic advance with a government led by the working class dedicated to the building of a socialist Canada. Tim Buck and his co-workers found- ed the Communist Party of Canada in 1921. Absorbing the lessons of the Winnipeg General’ Strike, “Canadian Marxists recognized through Lenin’s writings the necessity for unification of all revolutionary workers in one party. It was out of that working class unity of purpose that a single party representing the only organized ex- pression of Marxism-Leninism in Can- ada came into being. Founded in conditions of illegality due to the War Measures Act, invoked during the First World War, the Party was forced to work underground. Con- sequently, the problem of public activ- ity and mass connections confronted the Party from its beginning. Before ~ that year had ended Comrade Buck and his associates laid the ground- work for the launching of a public working class party — the Workers Party of Canada — in order to facili- tate these key tasks of the Party. Tim Buck, keenly appreciating the cardinal principle of Leninist organi- zation, vigorously upholds the unity of purpose and action of the Party based on the theory and practise of Marxism-Leninism. He understands well that the surest guarantee that the Communist Party can provide effective leadership for united mass struggle is its own firm unity around its strategic aims and socialist concept. Firmness in policy and principles coupled with the utmost flexibility in tactics is a hall- mark of Tim’s political activity and philosophy. Above all, Tim Buck is an inter- nationalist. His contribution to the profound sense of proletarian inter- nationalism of the Communist Party of Canada, which has won it the respect of the world communist movement, is greetings, — =» Comrade Buck! an outstanding one. He has always taught Canadian Communists and working class militants that loyalty to the aims and aspirations of the Cana- dian people and to the cause of the working class, and loyalty to the prin- ciple of proletarian internationalism are equal sides of the same working class banner. : The working people all over the world face a common enemy—imperial- ism—which seeks to block mankind’s advance to a world where all men are equal and all peoples are free to build in peace the social system they want. This enemy has a world strategy which it strives to implement. The in- ternational working class movement, in the vital interests of the laboring masses of all countries, also develops its own world strategy based on inter- national solidarity. Be Comrade Buck has labored all his life in the international communist move- ment in the work of developing a com- mon world strategy for peace, democ- racy, freedom, social advance and so- cialism. In this work he has gained the respect of Communists in all countries where Marxist-Leninist parties exist, as a leading figure of the international communist movement, and a creative developer of Marxist-Leninist thought and practise. Because this is so, Communist and Workers’ Parties throughout the world will greet Comrade Tim Buck on this notable occasion. A number of these parties, with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the vanguard, have led the working class and people of their countries into the next stage of human society—socialism. We rejoice with them in their great achievements for their social advance is also ours. We are proud that they and the Com- munists in all lands pay tribute to our Tim Buck, who belongs to the world. Dear Comrade Tim, we extend our heartfelt greetings to you on the occa- sion of your 80th birthday. May it be a day to remember.
