Jewish New Year sees wartime
hope for justice still far away

MONTREAL: Samuel Bronfman, the president of the

Canadian Jewish Congress,

has issued the following message on the occasion of the Jewish New Year which opened

on September 26.

As the year 5706 passes into history, nothing emerges
than the fact that the absence of war, which distinguished it above its six predecessors,

unfortunately has not meant
ism may have been defeated but
it is equally true that the hope
for a post-war era of social and
international justice, a hope that
sustained the spirits of men dur-
ing the darkest days of the or
deal, is still far from realization.
That warm friendship which one
naturalls:; expected to ensue after
a glorious comradeship-in-arms,
has, singularly enough, not yet
come to pass. Entire populations
still remain uprooted from their
soil; many peoples still do not
know what their political mor-
‘row may bring; and, in the place
of the single gigantic problem
which faced the world for more
than half 2a decade, the world
faces a host of problems which,
though smaller in size and per-
haps lesser in intensity, still cry
out from the hearts of men for
solution.

Not the least of these is the
fate of European Jewry. After
& war in which our people
stood out as the first and the
most ruthlessly attacked of its
victims, *the remnant of Israel
‘which miraculously escaped the
German thoroughness in murd-
er, still is to be found, not in
any haven or home, but lan-
guishing in concentration camps,
or wandering upon: the high-
ways and by-ways of Europe.
Behind them are the mass
graves of their kith and kin,
the nightmare memories of
their own suffering, and, in re-
cent days, new pogroms direc-
ted against the tormented sur

the automatic establishment of peace.

from its record more clearly

The armies of Naz-

before
and

Vivors of Hitlerism;
them, ports without exit,
sanctuaries without entry.

The statement that insofar as
European Jewry is concerned,
Hitler won his war, is not en-
tirely ‘without its foundation in
fact. The “displaced person” —
the cold epithet by which the
human wreckage of war is desig-
nated in contemporary documents
—is today, seventeen months af-
ter V-Day, more displaced and
misplaced than ever. One gets

the _impression, indeed, that a
fate even worse than that of “a
forgotten people” has overtaken

European Jewry—the fate of a
people misremembered, daily mis-
taken for enemy when it is ally,
and for foe when it is friend.

It is in the light of those facts
that Canadian Jewry meets the
Wew Year with two-fold deter-
mination. It pledges and rededi-
eates itself, in the first place, to
\do all in its power, by deed and
word, to alleviate the tragic
plight of its brethren overseas.
It recognizes, as a solemn duty,
its obligation to help preserve
the lives of the starved, the up-
rooted, the homeless; to aid them
in the rebuilding of their broken
lives, and to set them once again,
upon the true paths of peace.

Above all, it recognizes, despite
the error and misunderstanding
it beholds in quarters where such
were least to be expected, the
imperative necessity not to give

way to despair. Our people have

Miners benefit concert
will stage fine program

By JONNIE

OTTEWELL

With -a deep appreciation for the high morale main-
tained by the striking hard rock miners and their families
who face the winter with a courage we should not under-
estimate, and in consideration of the fact that the Miners
are being jostled around considerably in the continued nego-
tiations on their very just demands, the Vancouver Com-

mittee of thé Labor-Progressive
Party has arranged for a Miners’
Benefit Concert which will take
place at the Lyric Theatre, Sun-
day, Oct. 20, at 8 p.m-
With the idea of arousing
support behind the striking
hard rock miners, as well as sup-
plement their diminishing funds,
the Miners Benefit Concert Com-
mittée has planned an extensive
advertising program as well as
one ef the finest concerts to be
presented this year. : .
The Junior Philharmonic Orch-
estra, conducted: by Douglas Stew-
art will open the concert. - This
young symphony is one of the
finest of its kind in, the country,
and has been received enthusi-
astically wherever it has played.
Mr. Stewart, who is a progressive
minded and sympathetic man as
well as an outstanding musician
was delighted to be able to aid

the Benefit and -promises a fine
program.

“The Earth Is Ours,’ a wonder-—
ful three act play written around
company towns, by Kozlenko will
be presented by the Labor Arts
Guild Players.

Claude Donald will comply with
the film “Men and Dust,” a stir-
ring saga on the life of the hard

reck miners in the Southern
States. John Goss will render his
unforgettable interpretation of
“Joe Hull” as well as some new
work songs, and. we hope to

have some of the singers in the
Welsh Chorus, who in traditional

costume sing the songs of the
miners’ heritage.
Tickets will be available this

week at the People’s Book Store,
Pender Auditorium, 339 W. ,Pen-
der, as well as at your local union
office. :

not come up through all the cen-
turies, surviving the malice, and
what is often as hurtful, the
shortsightedness of men, now to
end in a blind alley of history.
Gertainly we cannot abandon, at
this stage in our people’s story,
the hope that right, though tem-
porarily obscured by dark coun-
sel, will in the end emerge shin-
ing and triumphant.

RUDDELL

ELGIN RUDDELL
Candidate in the Aldermanic
By-Election Says:

NEW TAX DEAL
NEEDED

HOW If WORKS UNDER
THE EXISTING
NON-PARTISAN SET-UP
Taxes are based on 100%
assessed value of land, plus
50% assessed value of im-

provements.

This Means

(A) FOR THE LITTLE GUY
owning, say, land assessed at
$500, improvements assessed
at $2000, taxes based on
$1500, or 60% assessed value
of property. :

(B) For Big Business

Well, take an example. Take

the arine Building. Land
assessment, $102,600. Im-
provement,- $1,387,600. Tax
based on $747,100, or 53.8%

of assessed value. This is an
exemption -of 6.2% or $5035.39
in terms of taxes.

That is how the Non-Parti-
sams discriminate against
the smal Ihowe owners and
the small businessman—and
that’s only one way

Ruddell Proposes
(1) Exempt all improvements
up to $1500.

(2) Tax 100% value of im-
provements over $1500.
Gross tax base would remain.
the same but we would be

taxing those who can pay.

Watch for further Ruddell
announcements to see how
we can reduce the mill-rate
and still get better civic serv-

ice —— through really “safe
and sane” methods.

Join the Tribune army
in ‘operation canvass’

By IVAN BIRCHARD

: Tribune boosters together
have contributed $150 and 80
past week. We've made a real

with Al Parkin’s radio fans _
new subscriptions during the
good start towards establish-

ing a regular flow of donations and subscriptions week by

week.

To date, however, much as we
regret to say it, these have not
been adequate to finance opera—
tions, and it will be necessary
ta put on a real burst of speed
until the ena of the year to re-
gain lost ground. ;

We do not want another drive,
which would endanger the efforts
now being made by a number of
clubs to establish regularity in
their press activity. Hlowever, we
can make good use of some
of the features of a drive
in the organization of our work,
and thus make sure that the min-
imum objectives are reached. We
must have $4,000 by the end of
the year; we can break that
down monthly for $1,500 in Oct-
ober, $1,500 for November, with
the additional $1,000 for Decem-
ber. To safeguard the publication
of the Tribune and the continu-
ity of our radio program, every
club and all possible supporters
should essign themselves a quota
of the above sum, and get busy
seeing that it is raised. :

Write us today and tell us what
you plan to do to help reach our
goal. :

Protest bail refusal

MONTREAL The Fred
Rose Defense Committee fer-
warded the following wire to Jus-
tice Minister St. Laurent, follow-
ing the latest refusal of bail to
Ered Rose. Ae

“The Fred Rose Defence Com-
mittee strongly protests the
second refusal of bail to Rose

pending his appeal. The very
obvious discrimination. against
Rose is emphasized by the state

ment of defense counsel, that the
Court of Appeals has refused
bail to only three out of i157
cases during the last ten ‘years.
We believe it is your duty 35
Attorney-General of Canada to
See that Rose receives fair treat-
ment and is not made to suffer
politica] persecution. We request
that you use the authority of
your office to have Rose freed
on bail pending his appeal.

We also request that Crown
Prosecutor Brais be removed
from any further connection with
this case. He has fuily demen-
strated not only gross prejudice
by his unfounded objections #
bail, but also imcapacity for his -
position by his slanderous state ~
ments regarding those Ganadians
who are exercising no more than
their right as citizens, when they
criticize the refusal to grant bail
and consider it as censtituting
political] discrimination.”
