AFTER MALAN, McCARTHY ‘Three cheers for the shh, white and blue’ HE show which outraged South African government repre- sentatives in Britain with a song entitled “Don’t Malign Malan— He’s Doing the Best He Can,” is now taking a devastating swipe at Senator McCarthy. Unannounced in the program, the new song brought the house down when it was sung for the first time by ‘Cyril Ritchard, Aust- ralian-born star of the revue High Spirits, at the London Hip- podrome. It is the story of the perplex- ed immigrant learning the Am- erican way of life and language and discovering that one word— Red—is taboo. With deadpan face Ritchard waved an American flag and sang: “Three cheers for the ssh, white and blue”; “Thanks to Mr. McCarthy the country is all right We feel it in our muscles That our red corpuscles will never outnumber the white.” It goes on in the same manner with references to “ssh flannel underwear,” and “ssh sails in the sunset” and the audience’s ap- plause made it clear that this is the new hit of the show. Almost immediately it is fol- lowed by Marie Bryant singing “Don’t Malign Malan”’—the song which a South African House spokesman described as “a dirty, rotten thing.” Reactionary South African newspapers joined in the attack. Die Transvaaler called the song “a provocative attack.” There were moves to have it withdrawn. But it stayed and‘ now it is joined by the: equally brilliant McCarthy number. to make High Spirits one of the wittiest shows seen in London’t West End for years. of gentlemanliness.

Is he too rough? MRS. A. M. RONAYNE, Pem- berton, B.C.: I suppose the Pac- ific Tribune is open to suggestions so I would like to make one or two. I always liked to read OI’ Bill’s Short Jabs, for they were intel- ligent and fair remarks. I find, however, that editor Tom Mc- Ewen, though undoubtedly clev- er, is often quite abusive, using such terms as “the gutter press” and “maggot - minded.” Surely such remarks will not win any- one over to our side but rather scare people off. Of course the capitalist press is at times abus- ‘ive too, but never quite that rough, and anyway, do we not want to be an improvement upon them? I also suggest that the head- lines on the front page are so ex- traordinarily large, especially for ~ a small paper, that headlines ‘one-third the size would save valuable ,space for some interest- ing article and still be quite readable. We see a good deal about trade unionism in the paper and Tightly so, but very little about the farmers, and they are work- ers too, although inclined to in- You may like to know that some of the farmers in this area are either burning or ploughing under their hay, as the price is too low and wages too high to warrant baling..

One shelter missed A.S., North Vancouver, B.C.: Since the beginning of the cold war that started out as the Tru- man doctrine back in 1947 there~ has been continual talk on this continent of civil defense against some imaginary enemy who was going to use the atom bomb. In order to make their story. more convincing and fool the people, they adopted a method of fear psychology which they -use in ‘various ways. ” They organized half a million sky-watchers who climb to the top of high buildings and craggy Promontories and report on all aircraft on a 24-hour basis. The people who volunteer for such work no doubt take this job ser- lously enough to believe they may become heroes or heroines in the eyes of the nation when they finally spot that strange air- craft. _ They also have children dril- ling for an atom bomb raid by crawling under their desks, office workers sprawling in hallways and covering thémselves with newspapers and people building air-raid shelters in their back yards. It has even been reported that a store in the U.S. has advertised white cloaks for protection against the atom bomb blast. The joke of this was a money back guarantee if the cloak didn't work. This conjures up the pic- ture of a ghost walking into. a department store which no long- Political achievement This weekend the Labor-P e itl he arene os “Progressive party W! the work of taking its Put Canada First platform into across the country, markin i i ; “ , g an achievement withou / adian political history.
