GROWING POLITICAL REACTION
IN CANADA

as means Of fostering hostility to the socialist
fatherland. AL these war acts are being carried
through under the demagogic statements Of
British freedom, fair play and justice" spouted
by the bourgeois lackeys in the government, the
lying prostitute press and the social fascist sup
porters Of capitalism
The Canadian laborites and trade union bu-
reaucrats openly collaborate with the bourgeoisie
in its hunger and war policy and the suppressive
actions against the revolutionary working class
movement. In the past they openly supported
deportations of foreign born workers under the
slogan Employ the Canadians" In the trial of
the eight Communists they gave tacit endorse
ment to the tactics of the government. Their
present cleft" demagogic protests at the recent
actions of the government are raised to turn the
mass disContentment against the Bennett gov
eminent into safe channels, thus preventing a
real fighting resistance to these expressions and
brutalities. This labor and liberal demagogy
must be exposed to the masses of workers as a
main prop through which the Bennett govern
ment carries through its police terror, force and
violence and attack upon the standards Of living
of the working class.
The Canadian Party must and will more ener-
getically than ever before mobilize the masses of
Canadian toilers to answer these vicious acts
upon their rights and living standards with in
creased struggles against their capitalist exploit
ers and the social reforTniSt betrayers. Already
the mass indignation of the workers against these
actions manifesting themselves in the form
of large demonstrations in the various cities
demanding the cessation of the deportation
schemes and the release of all the workers. In
Sudbury, 1000 workers waited at the railroad
station on the same day that the editors we're
Jailed. In Hamilton demonstrations of thousands
of workers have taken place to protest the brutal
tiles of the police at the May First demonstration
and for the release Of the workers. In Winnipeg
demonstrations before the local immigration
bureau compelled the authorities to send wire
to Halifax immigration Commission These
struggles of the workers are growing in size and
militancy and are a fitting answer to the hopes
of the bourgeoisie that it's present offensive
against the revolutionary movement will strike
fear into the hearts Of the workers" and break
their resistance to the capitalist offensive
The Canadian Party at the present time is
faced sharply with the task of overcoming the
isolation from the decisive sections of the Cana
dian toilers-particularl the Anglo-Saxon and
French Canadian-and to develop a fighting
united front of native and foreign born workers
in the day to day struggle against wage cuts for
unemployment relief for the right of the workers
to organize to strike, for the legality of the
Communist Party and against the growing polit-
ical oppression in all its forms.
The workers OF Canada call upon their Amer
lean brothers and sisters to protest the present
actions of the Bennett government by uniting in
solidarity demonstrations throughout the country
demanding the freedom of the workers held for
deportation, the unconditional release of the
eight Communists in Kingston Penitentiary and
for the repeal of Section SO.
