SOCIALISM
COMMUNISM
Editor,
Daily
News:
Has
the
hour
arrived
for
a
showdown
between
capitalism
and
socialism?
It
looks
to
me
very
much
like
it
has
It
is
a
clear-cut
issue.
Where
socialism
is,
capitalism
is
not.
Where
capitalism
is,
socialism
cannot
be.
The
trend
of
socialism.
ha
now
reached
a
point
where
it
is
a
direct
challenge
to'
capitalism.
Even
in
China
you
may
try
as
you
may
to
make
a
distinction
between
socialism
and
communism
but,
in
the
final
analysis,
they
are
in
lact
one
and
the
same
thing
in
effect.
Prick
one
with
a
pin
and
you
draw
blood
from
the
other.
Only
too
well
does
the
capitalist
realize
that.
Do
you
suppose
tha'
the
capitalistic
class
which
controls
the
wealth
of
the
world
and
whose
executive
is
the
government
is
KOing
to
sit
Idly
by
and
see
ltseli
dispossessed
of
its
posesr
sions?
Not
while
it
controls
the
fighting
force
of
the
country
the
army,
navy
and
air
force--and
all
the
means
of
production
to
supply
every
requirement.
The
situation
confronting
us
looks
threatening
to
say
the
least.
The
attitude
and
tactics
of
the
Americans
looks
like
a
duplication
of
Germany
U:
her
war
lord
years
of
1914
to
19?G.
Now
they
would
invite
Franco
Spain
into
their
holy
alliance
of
sweat,
blood
and
tears.

John
Hladun,
reformed
Communist,
says
is
merely
the
name
under
which
the
Muscovite
element
in
Russia
operates
to
promote
their
"Super
Race"
throughout
the
world,
if
they
do
not
want
it.
Neither
do
they
need
to
have
Fascism,
C.C.F.
ism,
Liberalism,
Conservatism
or
any
of
the
'isms
if
they
do
not
want
them.
That
is,
they
do
not
have
to
have
them
a?
long
as
democracy
and
freedom
survive
hut
which
the
totalitarian
such
as
the
Muscovite
state
capitalists
are
endeavouring
to
destroy
just
as
the
Nazi
state
capitalists
hoped
to
do.
TITe
real
aim
of
the
Communists
in
Canada,
whether
they
fly
under
that
name
or
not,
has
already
been
pretty
well
exposed.
Denials
notwithstanding,
it
is
generally
accepted
where
th.e
orders
come
lroni
and
for
whom
these
who
advance
communism,
be
they
dupes
or
otherwise,
are
really
w
ork'ng,
knowingly
or
unknowingly.
If.
the
people
who
thrive
under
democracy
and
our
present
w
ay
of
living
w
ere
as
enthusiastic
even
in
a
small
fraction
as
are
the
communists,
about
sustaining
or
appreciating
the
privileges
they
enjoy,,
the
communists
would
be
no
menace.
'
Our
own
indifference,
apathy
;nd
indolence
as
regards
matters
political
and
economic
are
the
greatest
advantage
the
communists
have.
And
if
we
continue
indifferent
.apathetic
and
indolent
we
may
have
to
pay
dearly
in
the
end.
Exposing
the
Communists
and
:
fighting
their
fifth
column
in
Canada
should
be
a
simple
job
for
the
most
of
Canadians
are
already
aware
jof
.what
is
going
on.
The
real
job
is
to
organize
in
support
of
our
ow
n
way
of
living
and
jts
perpetuation.
We
-do
not
have
to
worry
so
much
about
opposing
the
communists
as
about
mending
and
building
up
our
own
fences.
But
we
should
also
admit
that
there
is
a
fire
burning
and
the
best
time
to
smother
the
fire
is
before
it
gets
too
big.

TOURIST
WEEK
HERE
HIS
IS
"Tourist
Education
Service
Week'
It
commenced
March
31
and
will
continue
until
April
6."
Jt
is
a
timely
occasion
too
for
us
to
consider
the
great
importance
.
of
this
industry
and
the
value
it
is
to
us.
Possibly
Prince
Rupert,
never
having
had
to
depend
entirely
upon
it
as
a
basic
industry,
has
never
realized
fully
how
much
the
tourist
business
'rrvarjs
in
dollars
and
cents.
Maybe
we
have
accepted
it
too
casually.
But
it
might
be
well
if
we
did
think
now.
aboijj:
it
about
the
trade
and
commercial
benefits
that
thousands
of
tourists
who
come
here
by
steamer,
Tby
railway,
by
highway,
by
aircraft,
by
pleasure
craft
bring
to
us
each
season.
And
when
we
think
of
the
benefits
we
already
derive
by
a
business
which
comes
to
our
doors,with
little
effort
on
our
part
to
attract
jt,
we
might
con-Fider
wtiat
we
are
doing,
to
foster
and
maintain
it.
Visitors
desire
and
expect
accomodation
and
service.
Onthe
degree
in
which
we
eive
or
fail
to
give
it
depends
the
good
or
bad
name
we
receive
from
our
visitors.
We
can
make
this
a
place
in
which
tourists
may
revel
and
enjoy
themselves
or
we
can
make
it
a
place
which
is
boresome
and
unattractive
where
time
hangs
heavy
and
from
which
the
visitors
areglad
to
get
moving
away.
The
tourist
business
is
a
great
industry
which
-is
ours
for
the
taking.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
there
is
mighty
little
we
are
doing
about
developing
it.
In
"Tourist
Education
Service
Week"
Prince
Rupert
mrg;
well
take
stock
of
itself
and
think
about
the
things
which
might
be
done.
.They
are
many
and
constitute
a
good
job
that
could
lie
well
done
it
properly
organized
jf
we
would
put
ourselves
in
the
position
of
the
tourists
and
think
"of
what
we
ourselves
would
desire
an3
expect.

in
Taking
Over

I'nions,
Says
Ex-Red
!
The
insidious
manner
In
which
the
so-called
"Red"
labor
unions
have
been
taken
over
by
the
Communist
party
by
the
simple
method
of
filling
executive
positions
was
described
to
a
public
meeting
here
Wednesday
afternoon
by
John
Hladun,
former
Communist
organizerend
now
a
leading
enemy
of
that
party.
Speaking
to
an
audience
in
the
Civic
Centre
under
sponsorship
of
the
Women's
Canadian
Club,
Mr.
Hladun
laid,
part
of
the
blame
for
Communist
successes
within
the
labor
mevement
on
the
indifference
of
the
union
membership
toward
its
menace.
!
Mr.
Hladun,
who
left
the
Communist
Party
in
a
,spiritof
disillusionment,
told
how
his
success
in
'infiltrating
the
United
Mine
Workers'
Union
at
Lethbridge
in
1929
won
him
the
coveted
reward
of
studying
at
the
Lenin
International
Institute
in
Moscow
the
following
year.
1
It
was
his
experience
in
the
"beautiful
state"
of
Russia
that
turned
him
against
Marxism,
causing
him
to
leave
the
party
and
enter
business
for
himself
in
Winnipeg.

I
was
taken
in
by
the
beautiful
picture
of
a
state
where
equality
of
opportunity
exists,
and
which
"was
painted
as
superior
to
anything
that
capitalism
can
offer,"
he
declared.
"If
this
was
aK
on
the
level,
it
would
not
be
a
bad
thing,
but
it
was
different,
as
I
founJ
out.
My
experiences
were
the
same
as
95
per

of
those
who
join
the
party.
I
too,
had
a
picture
of
a
beautiful
state
and
of
helping
my
fellow
man,

it
was

way

"Communism
is
simply
an
effort
by
the
Moscow
empire
ta
penetrate
other
countries
with
unprincipled
use
of
their
nationals
as
its
agents."
The
western
world
does
not
yet
know
how
to
effectively
counteract
this
penetration,
but
It
must
learn
how
to
do
it
quick--ly,
Mr.
,
Hladun
declared.
He
termed
it
a
"bad"
penetration
because
it
has
"intergrated
itself
into
the
labor
movement,
of
which,
actually,
It
is
not
a
part.
I
"It
has
infiltrated
the
labor

movement

the
labor

was
the
only

on

it

know
how
to
use
people's
imaginations.
They
sell
them
this
picture
of
a
beautiful

order
and
thereby
create
fanatics.
They
know
that
they
must
"knock
out"
God
and
they
replace
him
with
this
beautiful
picture.
