New Party should
stand for peace

“The only way to get rid of war and create perma-
nent peace is to do away with armaments and arma-
ment manufacturers, and forever forbid the manufac-
turing of arms for profit. . . . we must incorporate
(these objectives) in the program of the New Party.

This was stand taken in an editorial by A. Akker-
man, Associate Editor of The Western Pulp and Paper
Workers, in the February issue.

The editorial says:

“Ig there anything the world needs more than dis-
armament and peace? No matter how healthy or how
rich we may be, or whether we have the best job in
the world, nothing matters if sudden war and destruc-

tion strike.” go nnn

attained, then we shall be able to start building a truly

HE CBC has dug up a fancy. title for its current radio pro-
T gram about Communism. “The God That Failed’ presents
a collection of five “distinguished men of letters who once
embraced communism as man’s sole hope,” says the CBC Times,
and they ‘tell why they became disillusioned with it.’’- The
five are Arthur Koestler, Ignazio Silone,- Louis Fischer (who
never was a Communist, even “allegedly”’), Stephen Spender
and Richard Wright. We heard the first one, Koestler, and it
was a painful and contrived performance. No wonder he failed.

The editor of the CBC Times does his bit, too..He has Prem-
ier Khrushchev. warning ‘that war, while not inevitable, will
come if capitalist nations try to resist the Communist vietory.”
In other words, if capitalism resists communism (and how
could it do anything else?) it will be wiped out by war.

Of course, this is a vulgar forgery. Khrushchev has never
said anything of the kind. What he has said, on innumerable
occasions, ‘is that capitalist and socialist nations must live: to-
gether in peaceful coexistence and peaceful competition, and
not go to war.

It’s a fine business. Canadians are taxed to maintain the
CBC so that the CBC can do its share to poison their’ minds
by publishing forgeries and trotting out literary renegades with
voices of doom.

INDIA in 13 words: “Meetings, demonstrations, strikes,
bright sun, poverty, corruption, conspiracy—all are in abund-
ance here...”

“That this House, profoundly concerned to maintain peaceful
coexistence between the Communist and non-Communist world,
sends a message of appreciation to Mr. Khrushchev for his re-
cent efforts in re-stating the paramount importance of this
objective.”

(Motion in the British House of Commons, tabled by Jennie
Lee and signed by 51 members of parliament, including the
Labor Party’s chairman, R. H. S. Crossland. The motion refers

to the Statement of the 81 Communist? parties.)

“The greatest threat that faces America today is the chance
that Russia’s Nikita Khrushchev may come forward with a
genuine peace proposal that cannot be refused,” ‘said Mr. T.
Coleman Andrews, president and board chairman of the Am-
erican Fidelity ang Casualty Company of Richmond, Va.

(From the New York Times, Oct. 10, 1960.)

“Tt is high Time for Me to put an End to your Sitting in this
Place, which you have dishonoured by your Contempt of all
Virtue and defiled by your Practice of every Vice; Ye are a
factious Crew and Enemies to all good Government; Ye are a
Pack of. mercenary Wretches, and would like to sell your
Country for a Mess of Pottage, and like Judas betray your God
for a few Pieces of Money; Is there a single Virtue now remain-
ing amongst you?; Is there one Vice you do not possess? Ye have
no more Religion than my Horse; Gold is you God; which of
you have not bartered your Conscience for Bribes? is there
a Man amongst you that has the least Care for the God of the
Common-wealth: Ye sordid prostitutes, have you not defil’d
this sacred Place, and turned the Lord’s Temple into a Den of
Thieves, by your immoral Principles and wicked Practices”
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole Nation; Yor
were deputed here by the People to get Grievances redress’G,
are yourselves become the greatest Grievance: Your Couniry
therefore calls upon Me to cleanse this Augean: Stable, by
putting a final Period to your iniquitous proceedings in this
House; -and which by-God’s’Help, and the Strength He has
given Me, I am now come to do; I command ye therefore, upon.
the Peril of your Lives, to depart immediately out of this place;
Go, get you out! Make Haste! Ye Venal Slaves, be gone! So!
Take away that shining Baubel there, and lock up the Doors.”

(No, this is not a speech from a recent Hansard of the- Can-
adian House of Commons, much as it might suit that Tory-
dominated Assembly. It is Oliver Cromwell's speech when he
dissolved the ‘reactionary Long Parliament. Read it aloud to

get the flavor.)
