The statement criticized the

Bulgaria gives tourists
a taste of antiquity

The second-century ceramic
works discovered recently two
kilometres from the town of
Pavliken in northern Bulgaria
contained pottery of the finest
workmanship. Their ornamenta-
tion shows the popularity of the
cult of Dionysus, the god of fer-
tility and revelry.

Several two-tier furnaces have
been.unearthed, some for build-
ing tiles and others for fine pot-
tery.

‘Balkantourist’ plans to re-
store this Dionysian shrine in
the near future and to build a
hotel in antique style for tour-
ists interested in antiquity.

Union of free nations

USSR formed in 1922

(interview with Norman Freed,
educational director of the Com-
munist Party of Canada.)

Fifty years ago, in December
1922, the Soviet people estab-
lished a federal state, the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics.
The establishment of the frater-
nal union, five years after the
Great October Revolution in
1917, was as a result of a wide
debate to determine the best
state form for the almost 130
nationalities. The USSR was
therefore formed as a result of
the widest popular discussion
and was a voluntary unification
of the various nations and natio-
nalities into a multi-national
socialist state.

Fifteen Union Republics make
up the USSR. Within some
Union Republics there are 20
Autonomous Republics, eight
Autonomous Regions, and 10
National Areas. These are unit-
ed into a voluntary federated
union. All nations and national-
ities are provided with every op-
portunity for free national de-
velopment through economic,
political and cultural advance-
ment.

All Union Republics are
sovereign states with their own
constitutions which take into
account specific features within
the framework of the USSR
constitution. They enjoy the
right of self-determination in-
cluding the right to freely se-
cede from the USSR. The Soviet
people are ardent patriots and
internationalists, this is as na-
tural to them as the rising of
the sun. —

The 50 years of the most suc-
cessful evolvement of fraternal
union of a multi-national federal
state is an event of world signi-
ficance. This historic event
serves aS an example and as an
inspiration to all people fighting
against various forms of natio-
nal oppression, for the right of
national self-determination.

The democratic demand for
the right of self-determination
was born during the French re-
volution. Despite efforts and
some advances to solve the na-
tional question, capitalism, more
particularly in its imperialist
stage, aggravated and increased
national oppression: The natio-
nal question found its funda-
mental solution with the aboli-
tion of exploitation of man by
man and the building of social-
ism.

The national question was re-
solved in the USSR on the basis
of the Leninist principle of
equality for all nations, big or
small, and of their right to self-
determination, including the
right to secede.

All citizens of the USSR en-
joy full equality, economic, poli-
tical and cultural. The advocacy
of racial or national exclusive-
ness, hatred, contempt or supe-

RECALL GOVERNOR SAY 90,000

PHOENIX — The United Farmworkers and a number of other
groups have collected 90,000 signatures demanding the recall of
reactionary Arizona Gov. Jack Williams. State law makes a new
election mandatory if 103,000 signatures are collected.

Williams signed into law last May a measure designed to destroy
the farmworkers’ union. The law forbids harvest-time strike and
consumer boycotts of agricultural products.

The farmworkers have also conducted a massive voter registration
drive in Arizona which promises to alter sharply the political com-

riority is punishable by law.
Such vile manifestations are
rare and are remnants of the
past, when tsarist Russia was a
prison of nations and of natio-
nal hatred.

It is because the Soviet Union
has shown the way in the solu-
tion of the national question
that Communists and democrats
in all corners of the globe join
with the Soviet people in draw-
ing lessons for their national
and social emancipation. Cana-
dians who are concerned about
the solution of the problems
arising from the crisis between
Our two nations, French and
English speaking to build a
united Canada based on a volun-
tary fraternal union, are parti-
cularly interested in studying
the experience of the multi-na-
tional state’ in the USSR.

To explain the great historic

. Significance of the founding of

the USSR 50 years ago and to
assist in drawing lessons for
Canada in the solution of the
crisis between our two nations
and the form of the new federal
state we advance the following
proposals:

1. The Communist Party to
issue a statement on the signi-
ficance of the founding of the
cpa and the lessons for Can-
ada.

2. To prepare articles for the
press and Communist Viewpoint
dealing with the international
significance of the 50 years of
the USSR, economic, political,
social and economic develop-
ments in the Union as a whole
and in the Republics.

-3. To organize lectures in all
main centers dealing with the
international significance and its
application to the Canadian
scene.

4. To exhibit suitable films in
conjunction with the lectures,
embracing various aspects of
Soviet life. .

5. Communist Party clubs to
organize at least one lecture on
the international significance of
the founding of the USSR.

6. To discuss with editors of
various papers on the treatment
of the 50th anniversary in their
press.

7. To discuss with progressive
organizations how they plan to
mark the 50th anniversary of
the founding of the USSR.

U.S. bombs fail

VANCOUVER — -Canadian
goods sent by the Children’s
Committee of the Canadian Aid
for Vietnam Civilians via Hai-

United States bombing of the
DRV port intensified. In a let-
ter to Mrs. Sheila Young, vice-
chairman of the CAVC, Mme.
Khampheng Boupha of Laos ex-
pressed fears that two ship-
ments of childrens clothing sent
in April, may have been lost in
the raids.

Word was happily received
last week that shipments 35 and
36 arrived safely in North Viet-
nam despite the U.S. bombings.
Shipments 37 and 38 are en
