In the spirit of proletarian internationalism

Canadian Communists and all
progressives feel a surge of
pride and joy as we read the
messages received by the Com-
munist Party of Canada from
fraternal parties on all the con-
tinents, greeting it on the 50th
anniversary of the _ party’s
founding.

Words of friendship and best
wishes from friends are always
warming to the heart. But these
messages represent more than
that. They are a demonstration
of that world-wide solidarity of
the working class that was writ-
ten on its banners when the first
workers’ revolutionary organiza-
tion was established nearly 150
years ago. They demonstrate
that unity which inspires and

COMMUNIST PARTY

OF THE USSR

Dear Comrades,

The Central Committee of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union extends warm fraternal
greetings and hearty congratula-
tion to your party on the occa-
sion of the significant jubliee —
the 50th anniversary of its foun-
dation.

During the entire period of its
existence, the Communist Party
of Canada has firmly and con-
sistently stood for the basic in-
terests of the working class and
all working people of Canada,
for peace, democracy and social
progress.

Relentlessly combatting all ex-
pressions of opportunism, both
from the right and the left, the
Communist Party of Canada re-
solutely defends the great Marx-
ist-Leninist teaching, consistently
comes out in favor of the unity
of the world Communist move-
ment. True to proletarian inter-
nationalism, it displays its frater-
nal solidarity with the heroic
Vietnamese people and all other
peoples who are fighting against
the American aggressors.

The Soviet people highly value
the activity of the Canadian
Communists directed to the de-
velopment of friendship between
the peoples of Canada and the
Soviet Union.

On this glorious half-century
jubliee we wish the Communist
Party of Canada further suc-
cesses and the strengthening of
its ranks in the struggle for the

gives strengh to the forces of
progress—the peoples of - the
socialist third of humanity, the
workers and their allies of the
capitalist countries, and the
peoples fighting for their inde-
pendence from imperialism in
Asia, Africa and Latin America.
They demonstrate that solidar-
ity which is in our country win-
ning the struggle to establish
peace and plenty, fraternity and
freedom, democracy and social-
ism in the world.

The Communist Party of Can-
ada is the most zealous and
consistent party of Canadian
patriotism. From its birth 50
years ago it has fought to place
the control of our country and
its future in the hands of the
Canadian working people, to

unity of the working class and
the democratic forces, against
the monopolies, for peace, demo-
cracy and socialism.

Long live the Communist Party
of Canada..

Long live friendship between
the peoples of Canada and the
Soviet Union..

Long live Marxism-Leninism.

VIETNAM

WORKERS PARTY

Dear Comrades,

On the occasion of the 50th
Anniversary of the founding of
the Communist Party of Canada,
on behalf of the Vietnam Work-
ers Party and the Vietnamese
working class and people, we
extend to the Communist Party,
the working class and people of
Canada our warm congratula-
tions.

We are gratified to note that
over the past 50 years, although
working in hard and complicated
conditions, the Communist Party
of Canada has had many suc-
cesses in the struggle against
monopoly capital, for peace, in-
dependence, democracy and
social progress in Canada.

In recent years, together with
progressive forces in your coun-
try, your Party has gained many
achievements in the struggle
against the rule of Canadian
monopoly capital to achieve
genuine independence for your
motherland and democratic li-
berties and a better life.

We wish the Communist Party

promote ‘the independence of
Canada, and to cement its unity
on the sound foundation of the
equality and freedom of our two
nations with full rights for our
Native peoples and ethnic com-
munities.

Our patriotism has always
gone together with complete
unity and mutual assistance
with the workers and oppressed
peoples of all lands. This spirit
of proletarian internationalism
put us in the front ranks of the
“Hands off Russia!’ compaign
when the imperialists tried to
strangle the first socialist state,
the Soviet Union, after the 1917
Revolution. We extended our
helping hand to the victims of
fascist terrorism in many lands,
we shed our blood to defend

and the people of Canada new,
even greater successes in their
glorious revolutionary cause.

The Vietnamese people in
close unity are today stepping
up resistance against U.S. ag-
glorious revolutionary cause.
gression for national salvation.
They are emulating one another
in productive work to build the
material and technical base of
socialism in the North.

The imperialists are suffering
heavy defeats, but they remain
very stubborn and_ perfidious.
They are striving,hard to carry
out Nixon’s “Vietnamization”
policy which amounts in fact to
prolonging the war with a view
to permanent occupation of
South Vietnam. They have braz-
enly sent U.S. and Saigon pup-
pet troops to invade Cambodia
and Laos, thus extending the war
to the whole of Indochina and
are preparing new military ad-
ventures against the Democratic
Republic of Vietnam. However,
they have come up against
powerful resistance from the
three Indochinese peoples and
strong condemnation by Ameri-
can and world opinion.

Along with the great victories
of the Khmer people and Libera-
tion forces on Highway 9 have
pointed to the inevitable bank-
ruptcy of Nixon’s perfidious
policy of making Vietnamese
fight Vietnamese, Indochinese
fight Indochinese.

Acting on the sacred testament
of venerated President Ho Chi
Minh, our people are determined
to carry ‘on socialist construction
to success, and, shoulder to
shoulder with the Lao and
Khmer peoples, to persist in and

Spanish democrcy, and then to
defeat the fascist aggressors.
We.consistently supported the
peoples of China, India—all the
peoples of colonial and semi-
colonial countries in their fight
for national liberation. We are
with the peoples of Indochina,
of the Middle East, of all lands
where the struggle for freedom
is being waged. >*

We have always participated
as equals in the international
gatherings of the fraternal par-
ties, ready to learn from the ex-
perience of others and glad our
voice, which has always been
in favor of unity on a principled
basis, has been listened to and
appreciated.

Just as we take pride in our

step up resistance against U.S.
aggression, for national salva-
tion until total victory.

On this occasion, we sincerely
thank the Communist Party, the
working class and people of
Canada for their warm support
to the Vietnamese people’s just
struggle.

May solidarity and friendship
between our two parties and
peoples be consolidated and de-
velop day by day..

Central Committee,
Vietnam Workers Party.
