Mao Tse-tung, 82-year-old chairman of the Communist Party of
China, died Sept. 9 following a lengthy illness. Hsinhua, the
Chinese news agency, announced that Mao’s body would lie in
State for one week, and that a memorial rally was being arranged

JACK PHILLIPS, provincial
organizer of the Communist Party,
writes:

In checking the PT report on my
speech to the Vancouver Island
Labor Picnic of September 5, I
found the following:

“Phillips said that even though
the CLC called the Day of Protest

and will be co-ordinating the ac-—

tions of the day, Communists in
unions outside the CLC will work
for the ‘full participation of these
union’.”’

If you will kindly check my

Speech outline on which your news
report of what I said was based,
you will see that I never used such

a negative approach to the CLC as
suggested by the words ‘‘even
though.”’

I am certain that this wrong
impression was written into the
story unintentionally. However, I
believe a correction is in order.

For the record, the CLC
leadership is working to involve
affiliates and non-affiliates in the
Day of Protest and the Communist
Party is in complete agreement.
We have no ‘even though’’
reservations.

Tassure you that nothing I said at
the Labor Picnic suggested
anything to the contrary.

Yours for an overwhelming Day

of Protest on October 14.

Stockholm Appeal tally:

49,375 sign in B.C.

A tally of results in the
Stockholm Peace petition cam-
paign released this week by the
B.C. Peace Councils shows that
49,375 names have been collected
in the province to date.

In addition to names collected on
the petition, organizations
representing tens of thousands of
British Columbians have endorsed
the Stockholm Appeal which calls
for an end to the arms race. In-
cluded among these are labor
councils in Vancouver, New
Westminster, Nanaimo, Victoria,
Alberni, Campbell River and
Kamloops.

In addition, the B.C. Division of
the Canadian Union of Public
Employees, Marine Workers
Union, UFAWU and Women’s
Auxiliary, Canadian Congress of
Women, Women’s League for
Peace and Freedom and the B.C.

Communist Party, have endorsed

the Appeal. ;

many and continuing examples of
internationalism whose source is
the science of Marxism-Leninism.
Internationalism. and_ patriotism
have always been the warf and
woof of: the Communist Party of
Canada and its membership.

The Chinese spokesman chose
not to speak in that vein and this is
understandable. The Maoists want
to take Dr. Bethune over and
transform him into a Maoist. The
Canadian government wants to
take Dr. Bethune over and tran-

sform him into a salesman for

Canadian goods.

Dr. Bethune was
salesman for Canadian monopoly
nor a Maoist.

He went to China to support the
struggle of the Chinese Communist
Party and the Chinese people. He

went there because he was asked to .

undertake this task by his Party in
Canada. Had the government of
Canada at that time known of this
they would have stopped him as
they tried to stop members of the
McKenzie-Papineau Battalion
from going to Spain.

The Communist Party of Canada
undertook its act of international
solidarity: because of its deep and
continuing support to the Chinese
people and Chinese Communists.
And: today, if it is critical of
Maoism this criticism does not
extend to the Chinese people and to
the Chinese Communists who
sooner or later will find the correct
path to building socialism and
returning. to the socialism camp
and to atrue international position.

As in the past the Communist
Party continues to extend the hand
of solidarity to the Chinese people
and to Chinese Communists. ;

It is important to set the record
straight so that democratic
Canadians and the young
generation could have the full
measure of Dr. Bethune the man,
and the Party of which he was a
member.

History has a way of catching up
with the past. In honoring Dr.
Bethune ‘Canadians must
necessarily honor the Communist
Party of Canada which alone of all
political parties, upheld the honor
of Canada at a time when
monopoly and its parties pursued
policies of appeasement of fascism
and militarism in Spain and in
Japan ‘and elsewhere, whose
consequence as we know was world
war two. ;

It is useful to remind ourselves of
this today when mankind is faced
with the task of making detente
irreversible and preventing world
nuclear war.

and Fraser Valley. An up to date
tally shows that Island points have
sent in petitions with 14,150 names,
andthe Valley, 10,000. Many Island
points, including Alberni, have still
to be heard from.

In releasing the results of the
campaign to date, the B.C. Peace
Council has paid a special tribute
to four outstanding peace workers,
whose individual efforts have set
an example for others to follow.
Outstanding petitioner in B.C. is 73-
year-old Anna Moysiuk who has
collected 12,720 names.

A pensioner, Mrs. Moysiuk is out
every day petitioning. She has
petitioned at the UBC and Langara
campuses, shopping centres and
street corners. She told the Tribune
she is now going to concentrate on
high schools. In the first Stockholm

Appeal she led petitioning in
Saskatchewan, collecting over
4,000 names.

A top-knotch job has also been
done by 67-year-old Freda Hickie
of Victoria, who has collected 5,000
names and is still going strong. In
paying tribute to her, Victoria
Peace Council secretary Lillian
Money said, “‘she carries on with
cheerful determination in spite of
health problems, a heroic worker
for the cause of world peace.”

In the Fraser Valley an out-
standing job has been done by John
and Rita Tanche, who between
them have 5,600 names — John
with 3,160 and Rita with 2,440.

Petitioners are urged to send in
completed lists to the B.C. Peace
Council office, Rm. 712, 207 W.
