Go-getter Editor, Pacific Tribune: © Please find enclosed $11 — $1 to cover 2 six months’ sub and $10 for the Ered Rose defense fund. — _ We do not hear any news over the radio up here at all. The station in Juneau is about the only one we can ever get. Believe me, the Tribune is sure read with interest by everyone here, So far we have sent out $723.50 from here in aid of the B.G striking miners. This is really net bad considering the number of men here. I have hopes of sending in a few more subs. : BARNEY McGUIRE. Tulsequah, B.C. Greece Editors Note: The follow- ing are extracts of letters from Greece. They require little elaboration; they portray the human suffering and anguish which has been the lot of the Greek people not only under German domination, but even now under the rigged “elec- tions” by Messrs. Bevin and “Churchill, which have once again assured for Fascism 2 base in Greece. Also, in a2 sim- ple peasant manner, the letter cimches what Fiorella La Guardia has already said in respect to UNNRA mal-admin- istration in Greece ... fas- cist Officialdom and the black market, versus the Greek peo ple. Also, and most important - --. the flame of revolt against fascist tyranny still burns in Greece, and the EAM, the People’s Army of Liberation, will yet be “the government.” Dear Brother: We received your letter with the money and we were so glad that tears came to my eyes, not on account of the money you sent, but because I read that you were coming to Greece when EAM will be in power and the government. This is how it must be dear uncle, because this is why we have struggled all along and we are stili struggling te win our freedom and independence. We have suffered very much for three whole years out on the mountains and new we Come back to tyranny again, but we do not get discouraged Long By PETER STONE re of the most closely guard- @d war secrets was the devel- opment of Loran, which is an ab- breviation for the words LONG RANGE WNavigation. This is 2 Modern electronic method by which a navigator over land or sea can determine his position through the medium of radio signals. The Loran system of navigation is based on paired radio transmit- ting stations. One station, the master transmitter sends forth its radio energy in all directions. These are synchronized with an- other station; and activate radio Pulses from the latter station. The navigator aboard the plane or ship Picks up two sets of radio beams from these paired stations whose location has been plotted on his Chart. But he receives them at different times, measured by highly precise instruments in mi- Croseconds (millionths of a sec- ond). PACIFIC TRIBUNE = PAGE 5 because of all that we are suf- ferittg. We;-the wounded, are getting the worst treatmnet — from the Fascists, and they are calling us many names, but in any case you do learn a few of the hardships that We are going through About how they conduct. the elec- tions, and what happens to UNERA goods. They are send- ing them to us, that is the UNRERA goods, and we are put in debt for these at black market prices. Often we can- Het get anything because we have no money. And they are Swallowed up by those in charge. This is the state of affairs now. We are -suffering very. Much from the hardships the Germans have brought upon us. Even our bread we find it with @reat difficulty—about this we Can never say enough. How we get by we alone know. We are ruined. Even the dowries of our girls we lost to the dirty Ger- mans, _ ¥ou are asking about the boys? I want you to know that George was in the mountains three years and was wounded severe ly at one sabotage that took Place at Santa Paraskeve. They threw a train inte the river which was loaded with German officers, and George got severe- ly wounded in the head by a bullet, and another one above the heart, and the lead was in- Side and still is. It hurts him a lot and he cannot work, nor can he use his left hand. We have a lot of troubles and he needs an operation to remove the bullets, and we have not got a single penny. How we are going to manage we do not lnow. Takis is alright, but what can he do? There is no work, our vineyards are destroyed and so he cannot work. Now we have Frosso (a ‘girl) engaged for three years ever since George went: into the mountains and we do not know how we are going to get ready for her wedding. She is engaged to George P, and the boy does not want much but he has nothing. Where can ZI give her to without anything? I am ashamed to see her in such a state and IT am waiting for things to get better, if they will, that we might be able to fix something so she won’t be without anything. This is our life, Brother, ty- Tanny and torture and no hap- piness. If you want to send something, send it to Frosso be Cause I am iiliterate, and we have a hard job of exchanging money, there is such a lot of red-tape. Your Sister, ANGELIKI M. The Province Editor, Pacific Tribune: I am enclosing 2 copy of 2 letter to the Vancouver Daily Province which I mailed today. It is the best I could do to put my own opinion into words. Qn today’s news, Mayor Cor- nett’s remarks are amazing in- deed. The suggestion that pic- kets should stand “peacefully” by @s an iniquitous outfit pro- @uces a paper with scab labor, is a typical piece of non-parti- sanism. Mr. Cornett should have gone to Spain on a peaceful pic- ket ten years ago this week. The fascists over there would undoubtedly have educated him in how far peaceful picketing gets the forces of progress. Circulation Manager Vancouver Daily Province Dear Sir: : Your first publication since the start of the ITU strike ar- Tived today. May I have you understand it is also the last. This paper you print, a reac tionary. red-baiting pro-fascist mouthpiece of big business has been made more repulsive still as a scab sheet. I therefore can- cel my subscription as of ‘today. J. S. DUFF. Vancouver, B.C. Good paper Editor, I am dropping you a few lines to let you know what I think of your great working-class pa- per, of which I am very proud te be a subscriber. it’s like a voice in the wilder- ness, crying out against the in- justice and oppression of big business. I just finished reading the book, “The Great Conspiracy Against Russia.” It would be 2 good thing if all workers would read it, as it is very enlighten- ing. Please Pacific Tribune: find enclosed $5 for ‘the sustaining fund. Long live the Pacific Tribune. : L. J. PAYNE. Vancouver, B.C. range navigation The time difference in the two radio signals give the navigator a Loran position. This informs the navigator of his general lo- cation in relation -to the known radio transmitters. Tuning into another set of paired radio trans- mitters will give the navigator another direction of Loran refer- ence. The point of intersection between the two Loran positions is the position or “fix” of the ves- sel. The advantage of the new method is that it applies over longer distances than was pos- sible with older methods of ra- dio navigational aids. Loran is reliable under all kinds of weather and the operator can determine 2 position at sea in two or three minutes with perfect accuracy. At present there are about 50 Loran transmitting stations es- tablished along the Atlantic and Aleutians. It was some of these stations that helped us win the bitter battle of the Atlantic in 1942, Loran guided transport planes over the hump between India and China. It provided a blind-bombing system over Ger- many and guided home the plane that dropped the atomic bomb over Hiroshima. Electronic engineers see Loran eharting unmapped areas of the world or plotting ocean currents by means of automatically re ljleased signals from drifting buoys. One scientist forecast the development of a Loran system for planes that will function as an automatic pilot. Once Loran is set in charge of a plane or surface vessel, it will “deliver” it to a pre-determined destina- tion and simultaneously plot the ship’s progress on a chart, so that the navigator will at all times be informed of the exact position of the vessel. Short Jabs by Ol’ Bill “a Free enterprise #2 enterprise” takes an awful beating =F me in a 10 cent magazine somebody has sent ” again! me 2&2 copy of. It is named “Hnterprise” and purports to be an official organ of the British Columbia Federa- tion of Trade and Industry of which Harold Brown is president and the anti-labor, anti-socialist, anti-Soviet broadcaster, R. J. Templeton, is editor. z Harold Brown's name is familiar to us for an oratorical effort of his, delivered to some gathering of bankers in 41939 or 1940 in which he slobbered his unbounded admiration for Mussolini and his fascist practices, as his fellow free-enterpriser Teo Sweeney, did on another occasion, R. J. Templeton, the editor, is a professional anti-socialist. To take up anti-socialism as a profession, one must either know what socialism is or be entirely ignorant of everything comnected with it. The profes- sional anti-socialist who knows what socialism is, must be a hypocrite, because he has to muster, at the demands of his paymaster, arguments which he knows to be false: they have to be distorted because their purpose is to mislead and confuse. The professional anti-socialist who does not know anything about socialism has a much wider fiela@ to work in. He is not limited by any moral seruples about right and wrong either. He might be embraced in the category in which we place the scribblers who are Biven assign- ments by some capitalist newspapers, to write biographies of Marx and Lenin because they don’t know anything about these great historical figures. ie This copy of i0 cent journalism is the poorest value for a dime that has ever come my way, It is for the month of March but is not for that reason out-dated since the material in it is just as false today as it was in March. Since it is the official organ of the B.C. Federation of Trade and Industry, it measures up to the standards of that body—there is no union label on it, in fact the printer is apparently so ashamed of the Production that he does net put his name on it. Page 5 occurs twice with the same article on it, maybe because it has a cut of the Province newspaper editorial room on it. There are no pages 7, 8, 9, or 10 but 11 and 12 are duplicated with their contents entirely the same; without doubt it is the scabbiest job-ever turned out of a Vancouver printshop. i
