RUBBISH

Eb. _ Evans, Vancouver,

Writes: Someone handed me a

leaflet the other night wanting

Me to join the ‘‘World Socialist —

Party of Canada.’’ Those

-48reeing with its principles, it

States, should apply to the
Nearest local for application of
Membership. I didn’t rush to the
Nearest local since only a PO box
Number was given, and secondly

Would like some enlighten-
ment of these ‘‘principles’’.

For example the leaflet states
that socialism would only be

“troduced in Canada when a

Majority of the people want it as
€xpressed by ballot. But the
leaflet also emphasizes that
Socialism cannot be achieved in
One country, but must be world-
Wide. I’m a little perplexed.
Does every country have to pass
Out its ballots for socialism at
€ same time, and what
‘appens if only one country votes

; 4gainst socialism?

Tn such eventuality I presume
€very country inthe world would

‘ave to drop the idea, or at least
Postpone it until a more
@uspicious occasion. Then again
it says that every country in the
World has a capitalist system,

‘cluding the USSR and the —

a

Peoples Republic of China. This

- leaflet defines capitalism as “‘a

society based upon the owner-
ship of the means of living (re
land, industries, transportation,
etc., by the capitalist class,” etc.

Since this is their own defini-
tion of capitalism, before
becoming a member I must be
convinced that a ‘‘capitalist
class” in the USSR owns the
land, the industries, trans-
portation, including the etcetras.

This leaflet also states that
they (The World Socialist Party
of Canada) will take no part in
the struggle of the workers for
reforms — although the leaflet
authors admit that reforms are

- in the workers’ interest.

What collosal rubbish.

GENOCIDE

H.J. Hansen, Victoria, B.C. :

writes: It has been brought to
light in an article in the Victoria
Daily Times of October 31, re
“Alberta’s sterilization like
Germany ’’.

Dr. James Goodwin, a former
research fellow of the Nuffield
Institution in Oxford, England,
and now a leading Toronto
Gynecologist, is attempting to
have this Alberta law revoked.
He claims that the board in
Alberta which gives the go-ahead
for every operation of this nature
has no members with any
genetic experience, and in fact
two out of four places on the

board are held by laymen.

I have long charged genocide
in this province. They can
operate on a person, but tell him
nothing . . . having the protec-
tion of all the phoney religious
and political hacks. This has
been my experience with many
in the so-called medical
profession.

It would be worth while for all

- progressive people to send

letters of support to Dr. James
Goodwin for his humane
qualities and for his fight to
expose this evil. If the people do
not protest, someday we might
end up the victims of thése Nazi
butchers.
