Israel protests release of Nazi. war criminals

TEL AVIV

Under pressure from Israeli pub-

lic opinion, the government of Js-

raeli has officially protested to the

United States against the release

and reduction of sentences of war criminals.

Israeli Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, Moshi Sharott, in a memor- andum delivered to American Am-

_bassador Monnett Davis protested

against “the decision taken by the American High Commissioner. in Germany, McCloy, authorizing. the commutation and reduction of sen- tences pronounced by the Nuern- berg military tribunal on a large number of war criminals.’

The memorandum points out that the Nazi war criminals whose sen- tences were reduced are a part of the “band responsible for the mas-

sacre of several millions of Jews.’

The protest adds that the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs “con- siders unjust and dangerous all measures of clemency taken to- ward Nazi war criminals.”

LONDON

The Chief Rabbi, Very Rev, Is-

rael Brodie, recently urged the gov-

ernment to use its influence against the rearming of Germany.

‘Consecrating the National Stan- dard of the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women, at Golders Green, he asked his hear-

ers — among them Harold Wilson, |.

president of the Board of Trade— “to ensure that the sacrifices and martyrdom of those men and .wo- men we recall this day shall not have been in vain.”

Report shows civic workers: behind union

-Civic Employees’ Union, Local 28, this week published its income for dues over a four-month period in the union news bulletin, and clear- ly showed that it has retained the bulk of outside civic workers in. its ranks, despite the raiding attempts of Carl Berg:

Local 28’s dues income’ for No- vember, December, January and February amounted to $5,843.50. In the same period the splinter group took in less than $1,000 in dues.

In addition to dues payments, Lo- cal 28 members have voluntarily donated $1,876.53 to help liquidate the debts incurred in the fight to defeat the raiders.

Corresponding delegates for Assembly to Save Peace urged to register opinions

“I, as a Canadian citizen wish to add my vote for the following points: (a) the abolition

of the atomic bomb: (b) the withdrawal of Canadian troops from Korea; war in Korea; (d) the recognition of the Chinese People’s Republi¢.”’

-(c) the absolute end of

In these words a man from Winnipeg wrote his opinions into the record for the consideration of the National Assembly to Save Peace which meets in Toronto: April 7. This man could not attend in per-

son, but his opinions will be ex- pressed at the Assembly, His words along with the opinions of many hundreds of others are already be- ing written into the records for presentation to the Assembly.

'Miss Mary Jennison, secretary, Canadian Peace Congress pointed out in a _ special interview this week, that there was still a press- ing need to popularize the idea of corresponding delegates to many thousands of Canadians.

“We need only look at the re- cord of the Stockholm Appeal, where it is shown that over 500,- 000 Canadians signed for peace, to realize that there are thous— ands of Canadians who will want to be heard at the National As- said. “Moreover, there are many other hundreds who did not sign the appeal who will want an opportunity to ex- press their opinions. We are con:

‘fident that the creation of corres-

ponding delegates credentials will

give them the opportunity to do so.

“Every day we receive letters of encouragement and delegates cre- dentials from all over the coun- try. Inevitably there is a batch of eredentials from corresponding delegates.

“These represent people from every corner of the land—fishing villages of the coastal areas; bush and mining camps; and remote farms’ and ranches in the north and on the prairies — places in

which the people find it impossible,

to send delegates to Toronto, And distance is not always their prob- lem,”

“There are hundreds who can- not get away from work or who have other difficulties that they cannot overcome. All have a right to participate. We must be sure that all are given an opportunity to do so,”’ she said.

Miss Jennison pointed out..

It is a simple matter to be- come a corresponding delegate, Miss Jennison said. A letter to the nearest peace council will speedily bring the required cre- dential, or in many cases cre- dentials can be obtained from the papers in which this interview appears. The credential should then be mailed to the Canadian Peace Congress, 49 Walker Av-

enue, Toronto, together with $1 |

registration fee.

In most cases space is allotted on each credential for an expres- sion of opinion, she stated, though many delegates are clipping - let-

ters to ‘heir credentials which serve much- better.

“With one week in which to reach everyone, we, must work

rvery fast so that everyone will

have a chance to register their opinions” she concluded.

Recruits in U.S. indoctrinated as

‘deadly killers’

Extent to whrch the U.S

military clique has already

gone in theif plan to turn a whole generation of young

Americans into. killers, is

revealed

in a document of the

U.S: Army -sent to the Daily People’s World here by a young

fxecruit.

It is a one-sheet mimeograph handed to recruits as

their first piece of indoctrination after induction. “Welcome to the Army of the United States.”

Spike untruths

about China

LONDON

Four Canadian missionaries just

back from China broke through the

heavy curtain of lies about their’

departure with blunt public state-

ments testifying to excellent treadt- ment by Chinese authorities.

J. David Harrison of 150 George said the Chinese were friendly ‘right up to the mo-

ment ofi their leaving the country.

“ “On the journey out we met with a lot of -kindness,’ he said. “The ordinary officials weré very business like and some of them VERY, help- ful to us.” —

Other Canadians in the group

|| were Henry Owen of Montreal; Al-|

bert Grant of Three Hills, Alta.; and John Posno, a Dutch citizen who has lived in Canada uly of his life.

They all discounted stories of “pressure” by the government of

People’s China in connection with their leaving. Important improve- ments»had been made in the coun- try, they said, adding that there was no organized effort to interfere with freedom of ‘worship.

Owen spent 11/yedrs as mission- ary in Kunming, capital of Yunan Province. and Harrison about 20 years in West Yunan,.

Owen told reporters that great improvements in banking had been brought about:

“The People’s Bank of China proved very helpful in transmitting money to us which had always been very difficult in the past. And we found it much easier because they have held the People’s Government dollar steady at about one United States dollar to 30,090 Chniese dol- lars,” he said.

Earlier this year letters by Earl Willmott, United ‘Church of Canada missionary, on the faculty of West China Union University in Chengtu, were published describing the com- ing of the’Red Army to’ Chengtu.

He writes on February 17, 1950:

“This last month has been full of experiences which I along: with all others here have been learn- ing to partcipate in democratic processes. Sometimes I feel a wave of consciousness that in the past we just haven’t known what democracy really is. And I now seem stuck to find words to de- seribe his new consciousness.

“It has been a thrilling experi- ence, though at times a little bor- ing! The first thing is that there have been innumerable meetings “where everybody has full oppor- tunity to say anything jand rile that he wants to By Sane

It is en-

“You will be taught to be a= deadly efficient killer—a no-holds- barred fighter,” the official army mimeograph tells the teen-age recruit on his. first day in the army. “Become a tough soldier,” the raw recruit is told.

“You will now begin a period of training to equip you physically, mentally and spiritually to take your place among our skilled men ot combat,” the “welcoming” brochure starts out.

‘The mimeograph admits that. “this training may prove some- what different from what you were led to expect.” It may, the brochure says, be “briefer, more intensive and more realistic.”

If the recruit has an idea. that the army offers a “life of convivial activities against a pleasant back- ground,” the recruit is told “Get it out of your mind!”

“You are not joining a peace time army. You are going to be trained for immediate combat duty ..°.”

Then the brochure goes into the routine about each recruit peco line “a deadly efficient killer.”

‘We are a nation of clean sportsmen,” the brochure says,

“but you can’t fight our present

enemies in fair fashion .. . If

and when you meet these enemies | you must be prepared to strike ’back at viciousness viciously.”

Hate and fear indoctrination is commenced in this first “welcom- ing” document handed to the young recruit. - ‘

The “present enemies,” the bro- chure says have a “cult of unde- clared war, inhuman battle prac- tices and torture and death for captives.”’ :

And again:

“We Americans are a peaceful . but our present enemies’

people ,. L : have demonstrated their disdain for settlement by honorable means

” ‘

The Army hastens to assure the recruit that “you will be well fed, well clothed and well equipped,” but adds: “when possible.” °

“You will learn to manage with~ out bed: or cover on

unfriendly ground.”

. And to be ies deadly efficient killers! |
