Why Endicott is attacked IS weekend in Toronto, May 10-11, a great national peace conference will meet to seek out ways and means whereby Canada’s trade can be developed with other countries anxious and willing to trade with us. ‘Also, and of equal importance, how best to unify all efforts of the Canadian people to call a halt to the mad arms race that is destroying the economy of our country, and threatening the peace of the world. The two issues are inseparably bound together. The pro- motion ‘of friendly trade relations with countries (which the dollar dictators of Wall Street say we musn’t trade with) breaks down the cold-war barriers of suspicion and hate which the warmongers carefully foster, and ‘consequently breaks down their pretenses for draining the nation’s resources for ever- increasing “defense” (read war) expenditures. The recent unprincipled attacks by Tory and Liberal poli- ticians and their hack press against Dr. James G. Endicott, chairman of the Canadian Peace Congress, were mainly designed to obstruct the ‘holding of a successful trade and . disarmament Tyna reaniie dolla ‘conference. The war monopolists and their party spokesmen don’t like the idea of peace or any united action of the people which would strengthen peace, Hence their resort to threats, intimidation and trickery to short-circuit this important con- ference. i "Maa SRE ARVANA MERE ERE We greet the National Conference for Peace, Arms Reduc- tion and Trade, knowing that in its deliberations its delegate body will express in the highest degree.that which the people by TOM McEWEN ch of Canada desire above all else—the hope of security in a world 3 “Mia aia, POTTY MCU UE ECDC UR ILI LRU ML LL Latta tebeh ied bh bet at at bel beled at peace. -[?
