In the shops and the neighbor-

party is seeking to intensify its
work toward the emergence of a
new  anti-monopoly political
force, to defeat the worst rep-
resentatives of reaction in ’72
and open the way for the bring-
ing to power of a real peoples’
alternative to the reign of mono-

Canada strengthens the hands of
the broad anti-imperialist forces
in our own country in their
struggle to force Washington to
abandon its aggressive course in
foreign relations, to end its geno-
cidal wars against the peoples of
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, to
cease its aid to aggressors in the
Middle East and its subsidies to
the forces of repression and
reaction in the Hindustan sub-
continent, as well as in Latin
America and Africa. It adds fur-
ther weight to the efforts of
those in the socialist world, and
progressive people everywhere,
to speed the calling of a Euro-

WORLD MARXIST REVIEW

yh the lead article in the November issue of World Marxist
View, William Kashtan discusses the Great October Revo-
On as the determining factor of the fundamental world-
© changes of the past more than 50 years.
, That is why,” he writes, “the question of the Revolution’s
Borical implications is still central to the ideological and
"i {tical struggle, is still a basic criterion of the class posi-
of any political leader, movement and party. And without
“Orrect answer to this question one cannot correctly orient
Nself in the present-day situation and assess the trends and
%spects of the world revolutionary process.” He enlarges
this theme, relating it specifically to present developments,
international and in Canada.
The same issue of WMR includes also an article on Freu-
Anism and neo-Freudianism, as well as notes the world

n help U.S. people

cond World War and establish
the basis for lasting peace.” It
hastens the advent of a world
disarmament conference design-
ed to move the world away
from the threat of thermonuclear
holocaust and imperialism’s con-
tinued threat to the peoples of
the world...

In this time of revival of
broad patriotic concern for se-
curing and safeguarding Can-
ada’s national independence and
sovereignty from the domina-
tion of the mercenary and mili-
tary interests of the U.S. mono-
polists, the Communist Party of
Canada is destined to play a
great role in the political life of
the nation. Vanguard of the
working class, it speaks in clear-
est voice to the questions which
vitally concern the whole peo-
ple and the welfare of the na-

_ tion.

Every measure the popular
forces of Canada take to rescue
their resources and their econ-
omy fom the grasp of the U.S.
monopolist robbers, constitutes
actions of international solidar-
ity with the anti-monopolist
forces of the United States. A
blow struck against the exten-
sions of U.S. monopoly domina-
tion anywhere is a support to
the cause of the U.S. working
people, victims of monopoly ex-

ploitation, oppression and rob-

bery. at home. Whatever meas-
ures the democratic national
movement of Canada takes to
break the grip of U.S. monopo-
lies over your national life, you
can be sure that you will be
committing no offense against
the working masses of the Unit-
ed*States, for our working peo-
ple also face the task of throw-
ing off the yoke of the very
same monopolies in order to se-
cure their own freedom and
open the way to social progress.

We hail the awakened deter-
mination of the Canadian work-
ing people to free their country
from the robbery of the Yankee
capitalists who have seized 90%
of all of Canada’s mining and
gas-oil production and control
two-thirds of Canada’s manufac-
turing. As we wish for success
in your fight to liberate Canada
from the alien yoke of U.S. cor-
porations and banks, to free your
soil of the Pentagon’s military
bases and nuclear-weapons de-

pots, more earnestly than ever —

in the past do we wish to work
for strengthening the ties of
working class solidarity and
peoples’ anti-monopoly democra-
tic alliance and friendship be-
tween our two peoples.

We cherish the long standing
ties and fraternal unity between
our two parties. We are especial-
ly proud of the fact that there
is cohesion of our views and
policies with respect to the gen-
eral line of the world revolu-
tionary process which is predi-
cated upon unwavering loyalty
to Marxism-Leninism and prole-
tarian internationalism.

Accept, dear comrades, the
heartfelt congratulations of the
National Committee of the Com-
munist Party of the United
States, and the best wishes of
our party that the deliberations
of your 21st Convention will
usher in a glorious new chapter
in the leadership role of the
Communist Party of Canada in
the further advance of the
Canadian working class and the
great Canadian people.

On behalf of our fraternal
delegation, we express our sin-
cere thanks and appreciation for
this opportunity of participating
in your deliberations.

three of the founding members
of the Communist Party of Can-
ada medallions struck on the
100th anniversary of the Paris
Commune.

The fraternal delegations and
their messages of greetings
were each received by the deleg-
ates with thunderous, standing
ovations.

In his speech of appreciation
for their inspiring contributions

to the convention, William
Kashtan reported that other
fraternal delegations would

have come but for the fact that
visas had been refused them by
a Canadian government, which
had thus demonstrated its cold
war attitude and lack of cour-
age. (The speeches of the frater-
nal delegates are reported else-
where in this issue.)

At intervals during the three
days of the convention greetings
were read from the central com-
mittees of a number of Com-
munist and Workers’ parties:
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, Vietnam Workers Party,
South Vietnam National Front
of Liberation, Communist. Party

Tim Buck, who for 33 years
led the Communist Party of
Canada, sent the convention his
greetings and advice. The deleg-
ates, deeply conscious of and
greatful for Tim Buck’s outsand-
ing leadership and of his mes-
sage to them on this occasion,
sent their comradely wishes to
him for speedy return to health.
He was re-elected chairman of
the party’s Central Committee.
They also heard greetings from
Myron Kostaniuk, one of the
party’s founders, and gave their
warmest recognition to a num-
ber of other veteran, stalwart
Communists.

The 21st Convention of the
Communist Party of Canada
elected the party’s Central Com-
mittee of 55 members and 11
alternate members.

Trade with Mongolia

Mongolia and the German
Democratic Republic have
agreed to considerably increase
their mutual goods exchange in
1972. The GDR will supply ma-
chinery, precision tools, optical
goods, chemical products and
consumer goods, whereas Mon-
golia will export to the GDR
above all fresh and canned
meat, leather goods, carpets and
fur.
