N.Y. City College visitor

protests Hunter dismissal

_ MORRIS SWADESH, Alberni: Coming to Vancouver Island for ® month in order to continue my Studies of the traditions of the West Coast Indians, it was a ey ‘Pleasure to make the acquaint- ance of the Pacific Tribune. This Seems to be the only newspaper in these parts that is willing to let the public know about the

vicious attacks these days on scholars and professional people.

As_ a victim of such an attack in the City College of New York, I heartily agree with John Stew- art in his article with regard to the dismissal of a distinguished Canadian scientist: ‘Intellectuals, “cultural and scientific workers,

doctors, professionals — in- their

No money for streets, but taxes still go up

HANS KROEGER, Esquimalt: At a recent council meeting in Squimalt, the reeve, in answer ° a remark by a councillor anent the deplorable conditions of side- Walks and streets in this muni- ‘Cipality, reproved him for bring- ing such matters up on the plea that it would encourage others to do the same. Later he remark- oa that he was sick and tired of Kitks, kicks and more kicks.”

There is nothing new or extra- dinary in this, except that While this was coupled with the Tecurrent cry, “We have no mon- -£y,” building figures show that

: here has been an enormous in- Crease of real property brought Into the assessment roll and con- _ Sequent increase in taxes levied, Plus an increase in the mill rate; yet certain necessary improve-

: ;

ments, such as school grounds and play fields for children, are neglected.

It would appear that the great- er the numberof ratepayers and. the more revenue accruing, the less money is available: an an- omalous and contradictory situa- tion.

own interest if for no other rea- son—should spare no effort to rally behind the fight to reinstate Dr. Hunter.”

At City College the elimination of teachers is following a strong racist line, with special empha- sis on trade union members and progressives,

The administration points hy- pocritically to a certain number of Jewish employees the school and claims there is no racism there, but Jewish teachers are readily dropped unless they are rabidly anti-union and par-

in

ticularly helpful in whitewashing the administration’s racist prac- tices; which last spring gave rise to a nine-day student strike.

Discrimination against Negroes is still worse. There were only five Negroes among over .1,000 teachers, and one of these is being dropped. Those who aré retained are expected to endorse and become accomplices in the reprisals of the administration, against students and _ fellow- teachers who dare to protest rac- ism and thought control.

The administration at ‘City Col- lege goes to considerable lengths to pretend that students are dropped only for unsatisfactory school work and ‘that teachers are “not re-appointed” only for professional reasons.

But such pretexts, either at

City College of New York or at’

Canadian universities, cannot hide the abvious facts. A coat of whitewash won’t long hide festering corruption. The auth- orities are working to convert

our educational institutions into ~

hatcheries for strike breakers. In order to do this, they must first eliminate every student and teacher who insists on. being

truly scientific and honest.

U.S. policies threatening peace of the Americas

DELEGATES FROM countries both north and south of the United States tore apart the camouflage of the “good neighbor’’ policy and exposed American imperialism as the greatest threat to the peace of the Americas and the world in the opening sessions of the continental peace conference at Mexico City this week.

Dr. James G. Endicott, leader of the Canadian delegation, who

“was among those denied U.S.

visas to travel across the United States to Mexico, charged: “There is no good neighbor pol- icy for those who oppose the Na- tional Association of Manufac- turers.”

The Canadian-American border, he declared, “is beginning to *swarm with secret police and political stool pigeons.”

U.S. policy in “deliberately fos- tering a war psychology” was

leading to an increasing loss of |

civil Jiberties in nations within the !U.S. sphere of domination, Endicott warned.

Canadian sponsors of the Con- tinental Peace Congress include: Rev. I. G. Perkins; Rev. D. Mc- Keen Reid; Rev. John Wagiand; Rev. W. G. Zwicker; Rev. Alex Caméiron;

Dr. James G. Endicott; W. G. Doneleyko, MLA; B. R. Rich- ards, MLA; Steven Sawula; Dr. D. L. Johnson;

Cc Ss. Jackson; Reginald Wright; Jean Pare; Watson Thompson; Norman F. Black; Mildred Valley Thornton;

Ethel Neilson; Mrs. Eva San- derson; Mrs. Agues Starrett; Mrs. Edith Hol- ton; Mrs. Sheila Young; Mrs. Girace Knight;

Major W. W. Jones; Boris Ber-

lin; H. K. bag cage ie Fair- ley;

Katherine Whetham: John Weinzweig; Barbara Pentland; Mary Jennison;

Homer Stevens; James U. Mel- von, DD; John Goss; Mrs. Rae Luckock; Mrs. Mary Bleakner; Dr. A. QO. Paterson.

Among Canadian organizations represented by delegates at the congress are the Canadian Peace Congress, Canadian Slav Com- mittee, Congress of Canadian Women, and the United Jewish People’s Order.
