The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada set May 1, 1886 as the day of united effort to establish the eight-hour day, and demonstrations and strikes were held on that day. The bosses coun- tered by unleashing police violence and exploiting a terrorist action (most probably a provocation of the police themselves), hanged the workers’ lead- ers in Chicago. The founding congress of the Second (So¢ialist and Labor) International in 1889 adopted May Day for a world- wide demonstration of solidarity with the workers of North America — and as an annual holiday to mark the inter- national solidarity of the working class. May Day 1971 sees one-third of the human race already living in countries where the rule of capital has been re- placed by the power of the working class and where the new way of life is - being built. The recent 24th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the first and most advanced of the socialist countries, summed up the tremendous achievements and charted the breath-taking goals in the USSR during the next five years. The workers of Canada have reason to rejoice and be proud of our comrades in the social- ist part of the globe. May Day 1971 sees the force of social and national liberation pounding at the gates of the capitalist states, the cita- dels of the imperialist enslavers and war-makers. With the help of the social- ist states and the workers and progres- sive people of the world, the ees of Indochina have fought the U.S. aggres- sors and wreaked heavy defeats upon them. The working people have scored a great victory in Chile. The tide is ris- ing that provides assurance that new, great victories for peace and human progress are in the offing. We have rea- son to feel confident of the forces that are shaping the main lines of history in the world today! We can hold the banner high on May Day 1971! China and peace The establishment of full diplomatic relations and signs of improvement in trade and other exchanges between Canada and the People’s Republic of China are to be welcomed. These are measures which our paper and the Left in Canada have consistently promoted. It is also good to see signs of a “thaw” in the cold war relations so long SS obtaining between Chi ed States. The steps taken ay t relations are as yet small. i4' but they are welcome.
