MOSCOW SEEKS T0 DESTROY A. r. IF |.
Canadian Journal Exposes Propaganda Issued By
 Workers Party

The Canadian Congress Journal is leaving nothing undone to expose the hidden dictatorship from Moscow. which Is showing its head in various sections of the Dominion of Canada. As in this country. the amalgamation propaganda is being fostered by the workers party. The Journal shows that the present communist amalgamation program is designed to bring about dictatorship" by that party and not unity among workers. It Is not denied that the aim of the workers party is to de- stroy the American Federation of Labor and the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress. It Is unthinkable that the movement should gain any headway on this side of the Atlantic after considering the destruction wrought by the Russian soviet gov ernment as the direct result of its efforts to put into practice the phil osophy of communism.
