Howard Fast .concludes this
“Crisis Paper’ with the follow-
ing appeal to all Americans:
“Can you remain silent?

gat & 3 Som think silence is safe,
then consider how many Ameri-
cans and Koreans and Chinese
have died—because we are silent.
These things do not happen only
because evil men desire them to
happen. They happen so that the
peace movement may be paralyzed
with terror, so that the merchants
of death may. grow fatter with
their millions of war profits,
and®so that plain people, workers,
Negroes, intellectuals — people
like yourself—will pay and suffer
without protest. And in the end,
even as in Germany, the price
of this evil is death. There is
neither honor nor safety in sil-
ence.” :

GUIDE TO GOOD READING

French diplomat fills in more
details of plot against peace —

JEAN CATHALA, author of
They Are Betraying Peace was
an employee of the French diplo-
matic service abroad from 1929
until 1948, in latter years as
chief of the Information De-
partment of the French Embassy
in Moscow. He explains that
this work “led me to discovery
ef a network of anti-French in-
trigues in our diplomacy that
was far more extensive than I
had imagined. And when, in Jan-
uary 1948, the hour of duty struck,
I submitted a statement to the
press and joined the ranks of
the ‘democratic journalists fight-
ing for national independence
and peace.”

Following a brief sketch of the
»background, he enters into a de-
tailed examination of French for-
eign policy, international intrigue,
and the decline of French inde-
pendence, in the years from 1935
to 1949.

One of the most rewarding sec-
tions covers the events immediate-
ly preceeding outbreak ‘of the
Second World War, the “Phoney

War”, and Hitler’s May Blitzkreig .

the “200 Families’ first threw

France and her people to Hit-

ler and then to the jackals of
‘New York.” .

The Yankee fifth column in
France in 1946 was already much —
larger than Hitler’s before 1940,

and, by 1949, it was clear that —
France had passed over to the —

full status of an American sat-
telite.

Significantly, the chief obsta-_
cles to total American subjuga-
tion of France in its war front
have been the France-Soviet

Mutual Assistance Pact (Decem-
ber, 1944), and the great French |

“Communist party—the one party —
toy

which has* remained loyal
France. These two factors, firm-
ly joined with the militancy of
the French people, have created
the most formidable difficulties
for the American imperialists and
the betrayers of the French na-
tion.

Buck’s pamphlet ouflines ©
patriotic Canadian policy

THE TRUE Canadian patriots,
Tim Buck says in his new pam-
phlet, We Fight For Canada, are
those who fight for the well-being
of the Canadian people, for peace.
The members of the Labor-Pro-
gressive party are in the front
ranks of such fighters.

St. Laurent and his government
pass laws which make it a crime

to be a fighter for peace. The
“Garson amendments” legalize
telephone tapping and the

searching of individuals, vehicles,
and premises other than homes,
without a warrant. These saine

umendments give the government .

rower to make it a crime to say
onythng that helps or enzour-
ages the peopie of another coun-
try, even though Cansda may not
be at war with that country.
Other amendments to the Citi-
zonship Act moun that tld minis-
ter of citizenship can without any
legal check strip a naturalized

citizen of his rights, or give ref-

uge in Canada to fascists.

These changes which have been
smuggled into Canadian law
amount to a new Section 98. They
were introduced with the agree-
ment of the Tories, Social Credit
and CCF parties. All these parties
share with St. Laurent the guilt
of introducing such laws. They
are all accomplices in selling Can-
ada out to the Yankee war plans.

Two policies are possible for
Canadians today. One of betrayal
of Canada to the U.S. Because
the St. Laurent government is
a government of betrayal it tries

to suppress the policies of patriot- -

ism and their chief advocate, the
Labor-Progressive party.

The St. Laurent government
works to “integrate” (i.e. subor-
dinate) the Canadian economy
within the U.S. economy. It makes
us dig our :minerals and chop
our forests for foreign monopol-
ies. Then we have to buy back
our raw materials as finished
goods at exorbitant prices. —

U.S. militarists treat Canada as

an occupied country. U.S. bases

in Canada are no different tO

those the imperialists used t0
force upon China. They aré aimed
at involving Canada in an imper-
iplist: (wars eChey pre aimed

against the Canadan people them- ay

selves.

Our trade with the rest of the va

world is being riiined. Canada
which depends so much on trade

for prosperity, is being made to e
put all its eggs in one basket —

—selling to the U.S.

Such policies cut the living —
standards of the Canadian people:
lagging | wageS)
speedup, vanishing farm markets,

Soaring prices,

higher taxes, no housing program,
unemployment, play havoc with

tive? Tim Buck tells us.

be to spend billions—but not for

Tim Buck notes. ,
- We must trade with the whole
world. Trade with the rest of :
the world, and especially with
the stable ;
socialist sector, will free us fro™
the domination of the U.S. and
the continual trade crisis that
come from such domination. |

Above all we must bend ovr
efforts to take ourselves out of
the U.S. war plots: Canada must
declare itself onthe side of 9
pact of peace among the five
great powers. ee

The Labor-Progressive party #*

and socialist system

workers and farmers of Can ie
will see the superiority of soci@®
ism.
