The Canadian Trib- |

In the municipal field the
statements says ‘Conditions
‘are maturing at the municipal
level for broad anti-monopoly
coalitions which would chal-
lenge the power of the develop-
ers and monopolies that control
municipal governments,” and
“Communist efforts should be
directed to developing actions in
its own name and in coopera-
tion with other groups . .. We
should also pay particular atten-
tion to forms of organization
which reflect the broad united-
front possibilities that exist,

without in any way restricting’
Xhe breadth of the movement or.

attempting to compress it into
organizational forms which
would limit, rather than encour-

age, united action against mon-
opoly control at a civic level.
“Central to this,” the resolu-
tion says, “is the presence of
the Party in civic struggles and
the selection of candidates who
would take part in the daily
struggles for new civic policies
and emerge as logical candidates
at the time of elections.”
Between now and the Natio-
nal convention of the Commun-
ist Party the provincial commit-
tee agreed to targets of 50 new
members, 20 new members of
the Young Communist League,
100 new Tribune subscriptions,
50 new Young Worker subscrip-
tions and 50 new subscriptions
to both the World Marxist Re-
view and Communist Viewpoint.

Communists demand end
to police harassment

As a result of police harass-
ment and intimidation of Com-
munist Party members by the
police in Sault Ste. Marie, a
cable of protest was sent to Dal-
ton Bales, the Attorney General

of Ontario. Copies -were also

sent to the Solicitor General of
Canada and to the City Council
of Sault, Ste. Marie. The cable
read as follows:

“We wish to enter a protest
against police surveillance ‘and
interference in political activi-
ties in Sault Ste. Marie. We
register with you, our considered
opinion that the police in that
city are largely influenced and
motivated by the Algoma Steel
Corporation, whose public rela-
tions director, James L. MclIn-
tyre, is chairman of the. Sault
Ste. Marie police commission.

“Specifically, we charge that
when leaders of the Communist
Party of Canada enter Sault Ste.
Marie, they are subjected to po-

’ lice surveillance during their en-

tire stay. People they visit are
harassed and they are accosted
by police when they undertake
to pass out materials at Algoma
Steel and finally, they are es-
corted to the outskirts of the
city.

“Young people who become
active in democratic movements
or who evince an interest in the
Communist Party are almost im-
mediately visited by the police.

“We are not unaccustomed to

police harassment. or persecu-.

tion of our Party, but in our ex-
perience, the degree of police
spying and harassment in Sault
Ste. Marie exceeds anything we
have experienced throughout
Ontario.

“We feel that it is a legiti-
mate deduction that the influ-
ence of the Algoma Steel Cor-

‘poration on the city police force |

through its public relations di-
rector is a strong factor in this
situation.

“We ask you to launch a
thorough investigation into this
matter _and to ensure that our
activities in that city will not be
subject to police spying, and
that the right of individuals to
join and participate in the politi-
cal party or movements of their
own choice not be subject to the
censorship of the police or the
Algoma Steel Corporation.”

The cable was signed by
William Stewart for Ontario
Executive, CPC. :

taken place in this regard in the
course of opposing technocratic,
pseudo-liberal and nationalist
tendencies. In their view this
Congress. will be of major signi-
ficance not only for their. Party
and peoples but internationally
as well.

“Our Party was invited to par-:

ticipate in their Congress and I
in turn on behalf of our Central
Executive Committee, invited
their participation in our 22nd
Convention this April.

Discussion with Tito

“T was also able to meet Presi--

dent Tito and hold a lengthy and
friendly discussion with him. To

my surprise I found he spoke »

English quite well so that we
were able to dispense with the
interpreter. When I asked him
where he had picked up the lan-
guage he told me he had learned
it in prison. I should add that he
looked quite robust and energe-
tic.

“President Tito was quite
knowledgeable about Canada and
developments. in. our country

-about which we had an ex-

change. A major portion of our
discussion ceritred on interna-

tional developments and on the
need as he ‘expressed it ‘of
strengthening unity of all Com-
munists and anti-imperialist for-
ces.’ : :
“We also devoted some time
to the question of strengthening
fraternal relations between our
two parties, and on Canadian-
Yugoslav relations.

“These discussions and the
agreements reached with respect
to normalizing fraternal rela-
tions should help to bring about
a better understanding of the
respective positions of our two
parties with regard to internal
and international developments.

“During the short stay it was
possible to visit a modern elec-
tronic plant, building sites and
housing, a Museum depicting the
heroic partisan struggles for na-
tional and social liberation, hold
discussions with working people
as well as with the editor and
members of the editorial board
of Kommunist publishing house.
In all cases there. was a warm
and friendly atmosphere which
augurs well for the further
development of relations for our
two parties.”

By JOHN GULLIVER
BERLIN — The Maoist leader-
ship in Peking has betrayed the
working class, the Unidad Popu-
lar and the people of Chile. That
‘is the testimony of Volodya Tei-

telboim, Central Committee

member of Chile's Communist .

Party and leading figure in Uni-
dad Popular. : :

At a press conference here,
Teitelboim, who is playing a
leading role in the international
movement of Chilean exiles for
the liberation of their country,
said that the USSR and the so-
cialist states allied with it have
shown true proletarian interna-
tionalism towards Chile. CPSU
leader Leonid Brezhnev, he
pointed out, had uniquivocally
denounced the Pinochet clique at
the recent Moscow Congress of
Peace Forces. ~ :

Unfortunately a completely
opposite position had been
adopted by Peking’s leaders,
Teitelboim said. On the basis of
his own personal knowledge he
confirmed acts reported: by the
European press only a few days
after the militarist fascist coup

.in Santiago. Teitelboim declared: .

‘The government of the Peoples
Republic of China called our am-
bassador, Armando Uribe, to the
Chinese Foreign Ministry. There,
a third-ranking member of the
Protocol Department informed
him, ‘the government of Doctor
Allende is no longer recog-
nized. Peking has already given
accreditation to the representa-
tive of the junta’.”

Pinochet’ was. so satisfied
with this attitude, Teitelboim
continued, that he sent an ex-
travagant ‘birthday greeting to
Mao TseTung one month in ad-
vance, .

Teitelboim then made the fol-
lowing point: “How does this act
of China harmonize with its de-
clared policy of solidarity with
the peoples and continents of the
Third World? It doesn’t. Peking’s
attitude to Pinochet has struck
a deathblow to Maoist influence
in Latin America. It is facts, not
words, that count. If one exam-
ines the positions of the USSR
and Peking, facts show two op-

posing tendencies. The peoples

of the world will draw their own
conclusions from these facts.”
Here in the GDR there has
been no letup in aid to the
Chilean people. Money is being
contributed generously. Over 500
Chilean patriots who escaped the
junta terror have received refuge
here, are getting medical atten-
tion and being given an oppor-
tunity to continue their work on
behalf of Chilean liberation. For-
mer Chilean Ambassador to the
GDR, Carlos Contreras Labarca,
last week officially opened the
Information Bureau of Anti-fas-
cist Chile in Berlin. The former
ambassador is a member of the
Central Committee of the Chilean
Communist Party. Working with
him is Julio Kappes, member of
Allende’s Chilean Socialist Party,
thus continuing in exile the
Communist - Socialist unity
achieved in Unidad Popular.

Canada appreciated for

Bangladesh

“The government of Bangla-
desh was anxious to show Can-
‘ada their appreciation for hav-
ing recognized the country in
the United Nations as soon as
it did,’ Andrew. Brewin, NDP
‘M.P. for Greenwood riding in
Toronto, told the Tribune in an
interview shortly after arriving
back in Canada from Bangla-
desh, ;

Mr. Brewin, who was making
his second visit to the country
that was torn by war in 1971,
was accompanied by two other
Canadian MP’s. “We saw’ sub-
stantial changes. In the last two
and one-half years’ they have
been-able to make a remarkable
rehabilitation,” Mr. Brewin said.
“They still have, however; a lack

_of foreign exchange and invest-

ment. They are still highly de-
pendent upon exported jute and
they are having great troubles
with transportation.”

Met Government Leaders

“One of the most significant
steps now under way is the be-
ginnings of a program for fam-
ily planning. Bangladesh has a
population of 75 million and
they are increasing that popu-.

lation by 3 or 4% every year.

This is in addition to the ten
million refugees they have suc-
cessfully absorbed,” Mr. Brewin
said, ;

Mr. Brewin and the other

MP's met with many of the gov-

ernment officials of Bangladesh
including the acting president,
the Prime Minister Sheik Muji-
bur-Raman, the minister of par-
liamentary affairs, minister of
finance and the minister of for-
eign affairs. “They took a lof
ef trouble to appraise us of the

recognition

situation in their country. We —

saw various parts of the coun-
try with them including the new

industries and the irrigation
canals.”
~ Bangladesh, after the two

years since the war, has yet to
win full recognition. More than
100 countries have recognized
it to date, but its giant near-

" neighbor, the People’s Republic

of China has not.

Mr. Brewin said that “Can-
ada’s role in speeding up the
recognition is limited. We could
however, in talking to represen-
tatives from the People’s Re-
public of China, let them know
that we think it strange that a
country that suffered from non-
recognition for many years, now
should exclude another nation
from the United Nations.”
