Colored music concert hall KHARKOV — A new concert hall in this city in the Ukraine is presenting programs of ‘music in color.” “Colored music” was known in ancient China and India, but the first modern composer to write music specifically associat- ed with color was the Russian, Scriabin, in 1913, who emphasiz- ed his intentions by such titles as Prometheus: Poem of Fire. A more recent example is Bliss’s Color Symphony. Modern electronics permit a much closer synthesis of music . and color.

The pro- test demonstrations and actions of the poor and jobless will take place in the capital city and at welfare offices and _ provincial legislatures in ‘every province and territory. The delegates stressed, the Militant Co-op of Toronto dele- gate continued, “that Canada should develop her own resour- ces for the benefit of Canadians and not sell or give them over to foreign control.” This was an historic confer-. ence. As a Calgary woman dele- gate stated, it was held to an- swer the burning question fac- ing nearly three-quarters of a million unemployed and 6 million ‘Canadians who today are the poor of our country: What are we going to do to live? A principal resolution adopted on the last day of the conference ‘made clear the delegates’ con- viction that “everything Trudeau does is for the wealthy, not for - the poor.” It declared that Tru- deau, Benson and the whole federal government are “forcing the working people and the poor of Canada to pay the inhuman costs of their cruel war on in- flation. Meanwhile the _ real causes of inflation — exorbitant profits and rents — remain un- touched.” : It was an historic conference . also because it brought together poor people from all the 10 provinces and the Yukon and Northwest Territories: family people, youth, unemployed, In- dians and Metis, single parents, veterans, welfare _ recipients, former jail prisoners, the handi- capped, widows and separated wives and mothers, and anti- poverty and housing and tenants’ and human rights committees. People, as a Quebec delegate put it, who were united because they “don’t want charity” but want the right to work. They spoke of facts, the cruel and harsh facts of their lives today. The Vancouver delegates told of how their province is becom- ing a \“state of concentration camps... every evidence exists to show that we are being pre- pared for a concentration camp existence.” They charged the Trudeau government and the provincial governments with failing to deal with the real cause of unem- ployment and poverty, “the un- just distribution of Canada’s wealth and power.” They charg- ed the governments with “‘cold and heartless” indifference to their needs. They showed in ‘case’ after ‘casé “how the police for demonstrations against Trudeau's unJust Society’ The Conference directed its elected national co-ordinating committee and all participating organizations to call on the organized labor movement to give full support to the actions and to take part in them. These decisions by the Poor People’s Conference grew out of the rich and spirited workshop sessions: As report- and the courts discriminate against the poor, how welfare administrators hound and bully them. “Hell! Do I have to come here to this conference to get a de- cent meal?” one delegate cried out. “Only to go back to depri- vation and be reduced by wel- fare system and officials to the Status of beggar?” The delegates exposed and de- nounced the exorbitant rents the poor are forced to pay. They gave the facts of how tragically unemployment strikes down the poor. They protested against the governments allowing foreign corporations to exploit Canada’s natural wealth. And the Poor People’s Confer- ence delegates came up with the answers: Open up the country. Create jobs through public works now. Build day ‘care cen- tres and hospitals. Build low- rental housing. They said, “If a plant like Dunlop closes, the government must take it over and operate it as a crown cor- poration for the people.” The federal government fin- anced the travel and conference expenses of the delegates. They responded by denouncing Tru- deau. They declared the federal government’s White Paper on In- Sx come Security to be “worthless, malicious in its intention to de- lude the poor and the general public that something new and beneficial is being done.” And they plan to burn copies of it publicly on Jan. 25 because “‘it merely shifts around the little money available to the poor.” The Quebec delegates had at least part of the answer to why the federal government had fin- anced the Poor People’s Confer- ence. As they explained, they continually “make clear’ to their MP’s that they won’t stand - a chance of being re-elected un- less each of them personally and regularly intervenes with welfare officials to solve the daily problems with welfare officials of Quebec’s poor peo- ple. “We hound hell out of them until they do.” These same delegates impressed the confer- ence with their insistence on practical actions, ‘deeds, not words any more,” of sit-ins, stand-ins and sleep-ins in wel- fare offices. ‘ The cross-country temporary committee set up by the con- ference has Mrs. Alice Moore of - Peterobrough and John Rouble of Toronto as the Ontario repre- sentatives on it. Among many acts of vandalism and terrorism by storm troopers of the Jewish Defence League in the U.S. was their raid on the New York offices of the National Council for American-Soviet Friendship (the Council director, Rev. Richard Morford, is shown above, survey- ing the damage). Taking a cue from their U.S. counterparts and joined by the Edmund Burke Society and other fascist toughs, Zionist extremists have also perpetrated various anti-Soviet outrages in Can- ada, including attempts to intimidate the audience and performers at a Moscow Chamber Music Ensemble concert in Toronto last week, The USSR has issued a strong protest to the U.S. authorities that incite anti-Sovietism and do nothing to protect Soviet institutions or visitors.
