TUDOR, Morningside, Al- berta: At the Yuletide season ene’s thoughts go back to 50 years ago when the British General Buller said he would ‘be in Pre- toria by Christmas. Fifty years later we find a Yankee general (MacArthur) promising to end the war and bring his troops home by Christmas. But—‘The plans of mice and men gang aft a-gley.” Some 50 years ago the Boers placed a reward of five pounds upon the head of an Englishman (Churchill) dead or alive. This week we heard over the air of the reward offered by the Labor gov- ernment of Britain for the head of the secretary of the Communist Party of Malaya — 40,000 Straits dollars or seven thousand pounds. So much for the progress of cap- italism and “our way of life.” Meanwhile, off the east coast of Korea, the 16-inch guns of the US. battleship Missouri belch forth salvos of peace and goodwill towards men, and American news commentators are suggesting at- tacks upon the mainland of China, with Chiang’s troops as comman- dos ‘to sabotage and destroy all the People’s government has built up. Eight years ago in the White House papers of Harry Hopkins, volume 2 page 502, General Mac- Arthur is quoted as follows: _ UNION HOUSE ZENITH CAFE 105 E.

It took the liberated Korean people five years of unremitting creative labor of 20,000 workers to build the steel mill in North Korea, their pride and pledge of a happier future. It took two Yankee airmen, 60 seconds to destroy it. So the jungle, until finally ‘ cleared, threatens the work of civilized man. And until we, the people, see that this comes to pass, peace and goodwill to men will remain a mockery. And there won't be any hangover, either L.A., Lulu Island: How would you like to-wake up some bright sunny morning, look out at the trees and flowers and be able to say to yourself: < “A)] the little happinesses that {J have had are assured for the rest of my life. “That auto trip I took with the wife and kids last year. I can do it again this year for certain. And it will be better. “This house I live in will be the worst I will ever have to live in. “My pay cheque will come in regularly. And my job will be better because I’ll be working at something that use the kind of man qualities that’s me. “Tl wear better clothes next year. I'll eat better food. The conditions I work under will be better, the hours will get shorter, the pay will get more, and each dollar will buy more. And the holidays will get longer. “When I’m too old to work Ill be pensioned off at a good pension, and told, “You’ve done enough, spend the rest of your life doing anything you want to’.” How would you like to wake up some morning and be able to know that that is true? You will, Some morning when Socialism is estab_ lished here. It will happen. That’s the way it will be.... Of course Socialism will have to grow, and be built. But it’ll be like that. You'll see. The peoples will have ‘the last word-peace — —. MARSH, Vancouver: “Oh hush the noise ye men of strife and hear the angels sing. The angels in the world-wide heart of humanity are singing the glorious song, “Peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” The thoughts of these angels of peace are mightier than the sword, yea, mightier than the atomic bomb. ‘The peoples of the earth have become as one in a grand ‘crusade to save the world from atomic disaster. Oh hush the voice of the screaming headlines and listen to the voice of peace, Peace tells us of the wonderful abundance and security that all will enjoy if we use atomic energy to full measure for peaceful pur-° poses and the common good.

This would be very laudable co_ operation since it would seem to restore the world to normalcy. The Koreans would be rid of the invaders and could settle their own affairs. The Chinese, having no quarrel with the Koreans, would, I am sure immediately withdraw their troops. The Am- ericans could fortify their own country if their hysterical gov- ernment is so afraid of foreign aggression, instead of helping it to prevoke war. After thinking it over quietly, Mr. Bevin, maybe the Chinese are afraid that what happened to the Red Indians in America might happen to them once a USS. force got a foothold on the continent of Asia. Ip fact, if I were an Asiatic I would consider the U.S. occupation of Japan a mortal danger. i Condition of world shows change needed HERMAN HOUSE, Vancouver: The erroneous idea, inculcated from infancy, that reason should be rejected in favor of credulity tends to dwarf the mentality ... It even has reached the point where the mere. advocacy of peace not only is unpopular, but endangers liberty. Jf but a fraction of the effort expended in the perpetuation of superstition was devoted to ra- tionalistic teaching of the. ad- vantage to be derived right here in this world through proper consideration of the feelings of all terrestrial life there is strong probability that the results would be infinitely better. : It is not doubtful expectation of future reward, nor fear of eternal punishment that regulates conduct; but courts of justice, public opinion and rationalistic reflection that exert the greatest restraint on evil actions. The condition of the world today, after centuries of Christian, and much longer periods of other supersti- tious teachings and controls de- monstrate that the effects have been detrimental, instead of bene- ficial, and that a change is. badly needed, hin But the letter below,» Let’s set record for subs in 1951 HE Pacific Tribune is asking every press club and individual supporter of the paper to start the New Year right by accepting this pledge: Build up Br circulation in 1951! Figures given below tell only a part of the story, for they just deal with paid subscriptions, not with the several thousand papers sold each week on news stands, by street salesmen and groups which take bundles. But subs are a solid base for raising circulation; ‘a sub sold guarantees that the reader will get 52 copies each year. So we're asking every press club to study the record for 1950, note how many expiries are outstanding, and discuss the proposed 1951 targets. Most: press clubs did some fine work during the sub campaign last fall. Some, unfortunately, did their only Pacific Tribune work in that period. The proposed 1951 targets include next year’s drive quotas as part of the over-all quotas; what we are aiming at is year-round activity in boosting your press. Talk over the’ proposed objectives in your press club; raise your target if you wish; then write us, “Resolution Approved!” CITY Subs turned Unaecounted Proposed in -1950 for expiries 1951 quotas Building Trades®.....:....;.-. 18 — 65 Capitol Hill -....-.-.-.+.-5++- h2 1% 85 Civic Workers .......------+:- 30 _ ® Central Burnaby ........------ 33 *6 50 Commercial Drive ......------ 66 5 J 85 East.
