TRADE with Peoples China’;

-how often has this. demand
een raised by millions of Canad-
ins through their trade unions,
um organizations, influential sec-
ons of the press, and other media
f public insistence?

A very realistic demand, grow- -

1 out of the developing conscious-

ess that the Canadian economy,’
ied fast to the coldwar strings of.

iS. “integration,” was not only
sing great potential markets for
'anadian products, but depriving
ur working people of jobs; im-
osing upon Canada the twin evil
f shrinking markets and spirall-
1g unemployment.

Now opportunity is knocking at

ur door. A trade delegation from=

he Peoples Republic of China
China Resources Company) is
resently in Canada, seeking to
romote one of the largest grain
urchases in our history.

The figure is roughly estimated -

t around $450-million or more
ver a three-year period. Almost
wo-thirds of Canada’s annual crop
urplus. During the past two
ronths, some 40 million bushels of
yheat and barley have already
een loaded out of Vancouver ter-
ainals for China.

Yet, instead of hailing this open-
ng of a vast market as a boon to

‘anada’s overall export trade, it is -

HIS WEEK the trial of Adolph
Eichmann, the Nazi evil gen-

ius who master-minded the brutal
extermination of six million Jews

in the death factories of Hitlerite -
Germany, opened in the ancient:

city of -Jerusalem, Israel.
The ‘scope of. the indictment:

against Eichmann citing his crimes

against humanity staggers. the im-

‘agination.: Nothing has ever equal-
led it: Its horror surpasses the
‘bestiality unleashed upon -Hiro- -
‘shima and Nagasaki. In its Hitler-

ite: madness the crimes of Eich-

~= mann’ encompass the: planned and -

cold-blooded: extermination . of a
great people, the aged and-the:un-

born -babe in its. mother’s: womb. .

On this opening week of the

Eichmann trial there is not, nor

can. there be any: element of: “sub
judice,” the need to refrain from

“speaking lest. the verdict be ‘pre-—

judiced.’ The verdict is already
known, earried ‘on the hurricane

winds of Time by the voices of six:
“million Jewish dead; shouted so:
loud that humanity may not for-

get, by the immortal heroes of the
Warsaw Ghetto.

Jewish scholars, educators, men
of letters, music and the arts, rab-
bis, artisans,.the flower of the
manhood and womanhood of Juda-

ism; from the stilled voices of
countless tens of thousands of in-
nocent Jewish children, the verdict
is already clear.

Opinion may differ on how Israel
‘got possession of this Nazi-mon- ~
ster, but none can doubt his guilt,
or the. prophetic justice which
brings-him before the tribunal of...
-the people he sought to extermin-
ate.

‘Not in the dock, but on triak ~
with Eichmann are scores of other”
Nazi killers; the Heusingers, Glob-
kes, Spiedels et al, who now hold
ministerial posts.in the Bonn gov-
ernment of West Germany by the
grace of U.S. imperialism and ‘its
“free west’’ satellite: imperialisms.
On trial. with Eichmann is the
murderous mentality which want-
-only. destroyed Hiroshima, and
which today, were it not. for the
united protests of the common
peoples of every land, stand ready
to engulf the world and all hu-
manity in a nuclear holocaust—in
a last desperate attempt to pre-
serve their dominant class inter-
ests.

- Thus in the Eichmann trial, as
with: the parasitical class which
produces monsters like Eichmann,
‘the verdict is already known;
Guilty, guilty as hell.
