Says Hepburn Has Sold Out TORONTO, Ont., May i18.—Alder- man Stewart Smith, Ontario secre- tary of the Communist Party, this week emphasized the sinister char- acter of the conversations between Premier Mitchell Hepburn and Con- servative leader, Hon. Earl Rowe. “Back of this move,’”’ he said, “is the desire of the bie capitalists to Set control of the Ontario govern- ment in order that the state appar- atus will be used to the full to stop the unionizine of Ontario. Hepburn has sold out Reform Liberalism. He has betrayed the Liberal party and has placed his administration behind the reactionary aims of Sir Edward Beatty, Sir Werbert Holt and the small group of big shots who contro] the wealth of our country. : “While they are anxious to see a return to Toryism in a more reac- Honary form than ever before, they want to ensure even beforehand that the Gntario sovernment acts in accordance with their anti-union, anti-popular wishes.” Premier Mitchell Hepburn’s move for a coalition government can be effectively answered with independ- ent political action by Ontario’s organized labor and profressive movement, mobilized to defeat re- action at the polls. This is the opinion of B. EB. Wool- lon, secretary of the Toronto Book- binders and Bindery Women’s Union, given in a recent interview. “The time is Jonge overdue for or- Sanized labor to take action in the politica] arena,’"’ Woollon stated. “The premier’s proposal to form a coalition cabinet of his own party and the Conservatives is the natur- al result of his weakened position following his attack on the labor movement during the Qshawa strike. “The moye is a direct threat to erganized labor and progress,’’ he said, “but the premier won't get away with it. We are determined to go ahead.” People’s League Control Issue By C. S. CAMPBELL: CALGARY, Alta., May 13.— The Conservatives can either face a provincia] election alone or stand behind the People’s League, D. M. Dugsan, Alberta Tory leader, de- clared at a recent public meetine here. “‘We can face the elections (this fall) alone, with other parties or definitely support the People’s Leasue,” he said. Aceordine to the tone of the ad- dress, Duggan is not quite satisfied With the declarations that have been published in People’s League literature where it has been stated that the leasue is not in cahoots with the old-Jine parties. It will be recalled that in Octo- ited front’ of the old line forces to meet the threat of srowinge unity in the province. _ But that all is not well in big business circles is evident from the remarks of Duggan that the Liber- als have all but captured the Peo- ple’s League and have attempted, or are about to attempt, to isolate the Tories from the leadership in erder to utilize the People’s Leasue machinery for themselves in the next proyincial election. 1025 West Pender Street (Cor.

This is the finding. of the pro- vincial ministry of health in its an- nual report, according to which the rate of infant mortality has risen 25 per cent during the past year. Last year there were 82 deaths per 1,000 births as compared to 105.7 this year. These figures are further en- hanced when it is remembered that Quebec and Montreal are among the five cities with the highest in- fant mortality in the world. Nazis Active In Sweden STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 13.— (=P) — German Nazi agents are Swarming over Sweden to map out new territory for Fascist war pre- parations.

Doug. 390 1010 DAVIE ST. Why McGill Head Was Ousted MONTREAL, Que., May. 13:—An interesting light has been shed upon the ousting of the distinguished edu- cationist, A. EH. Morgan, from his post as principal of McGill Univer- sity, by Le WDevoir, reactionary French-Canadian daily, which laud- ed the action taken by Sir Edward Beatty in forcing the resignation of Professor Morgan. Because of the extremely lucid and straightforward manner in Which the writer proves his point, the following extract should require no interpretation: “What has happened? Is it be- cause of the visits of the emissaries of the Wrente Popular that Mr. Morgan was forced into his sudden resignation? His astonishing tol- erance with regard to the profes- Sers of this institution of higher Anglo-Protestant learning, who welcomed with open arms Father Sarasola, Senora de Palencia, An- dre Malraux and the others—is it because of these things that he has to leave? “Sir Edward Beatty, the chancel- Jor, and his board of fovernors, have they found that McGill uni- versity, in allowing some of its pro- fessors to take part in receptions organized in honor of delegates of red Spain. covered itself with ridi- cule, and what is even worse, was on the verge of becoming a Com- munist centre? “Does not the public know that Sir Edward is head of the Gana- dian Pacific Railway and Steam- ship Companies, that most of his sovernorSs and senators are the heads of great business enterprises, that in a word they rub shoulders with high finance and are precisely those who have most reason to be opposed to Communism, that Mc- Gill should rather be regarded as a centre of Capitalism?’ Le Devoir further is annoyed that McGill professors are anti- Fascist, rather than anti-Commun- ist; for “if the two doctrines have each their errors ,there is in Fasc- ism an element of discipline, of economic, social and educational progress.” ST. PAUL, Minn.—GFP)—A bill to introduce the teaching of consumers’ co-operation and co-operative mar- keting into Minnesota public schools has been approved by the appropria- tions committee of the state legisla- ture. A similar law was adopted in Pay Increase Won By 2000 TORONTO, Ont., May 13.— Over 2,000 members of the Amalsamated Clothing Workers of America will receive a seven and a half per cent increase In wages under the terms of the new agreement reached be- tween the negotiating committee of the union and Toronto Clothing Manufacturers’ Association. Speaking of the agreement, S. Spivak, manager of the ‘Toronto joint board of the union, said: “Renewal shows the effective- ness of CIO unionism and the abil- ity of the Amalgamated to accept its share of responsibility toward the industry. ‘Under terms of this agreement workers will receive a seven and a half per cent wage increase, an in- crease obtained peacefully, without strike or threat of strike: This was possible because employers and workers through the machinery of collective bargaining could get to- gether around the conference table and work out their problems in a manner satisfactory to both.’’ Spivak credited CIO unions with haying raised livine standards of tens of thousands of workers in Canada, stating: “The increases se: cured by our union is typical of the work done by CIO unions in Can- ada as well as the United States.’ Japan Wants Colonies, Too Wisconsin a2 year and a half azo. TOKYO, Japan, May 13—(PP)— Official Japanese circles stated that Japan is “unable to recognize” Hitler's demand for the return of all former German colonies, includ- ing thereby the present Japanese mandatory territory, ‘‘since Japan itself is one of the countries which has not sufficient colonies at its disposal.”’ PLOWS VANISH IN SCRAP IRON BOOM GALVESTON, Tex., May 13.—(FP) —Texas ports and railway centres are clogged with a terrific econges- tion of serap iron bound for Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Japan and Poland as part of war preparations. So 2reat is the boom in serap metal that farmers report the disappear- ance of harrows and plows. Man- holes and parts of bridges also are Loyalists Gen. O’Duffy, Irish Brigade Quit Rebels MADRID, Spain, May 13.— (Cable to FP) — Last week marked the sixth month of the siege of Madrid and its heroic defense by the people’s army and the International brigade. Despite the relentless battering of Iranco’s artillery, the morale of Madrid's populace is unshaken, con- fidence in the ultimate defeat of the Fascists ever stronger. Military observers are agreed that military advantages are now with the government, for the first time since the Fascist revolt pre- cipitated the conflict. "The situa- tion is summarized by one military expert as follows: i. Experience of the Great War, proving the enormous defense power of machine guns, is givine the goy- ernment opportunity to take full ad- vantage of the weapons at its dis- posal. The whole Madrid front is now a ““war of posilitons,’”’ with both sides so strongly entrenched that a big break through at present is impossible for either side without calossal losses. 2. Result of this situation is throwing an enormous military ad- vantage to the side of the gsovern- ment, because the insurgent posi- tions are unfavorable. The extreme forward points on the Gasa del Campo and Jarama fronts create an awkward salient, with long, narrow and vulnerable communication lines behind. On the other hand, the
