“The flag,” he continued, “is @ symbol of all the people, Chris- tian and non-Christian. The world. cannot be divided into Christians and non Christians. We are not declaring war against Mohammedans or others. We have to live in peace with them, and this idea that there is a Christian flag is something that we have heard from many who foday are dead but the germs of

whose ideas are still being “dis- seminated.

“Goebbels is dead, but his ide ology seeps even into this Heuse of, Commons.”

This statement drew a pro- test from one of the gentlemen in the House who has on many Occasions expressed the views of the late Nazi propaganda min- ister. Mr. Jacques (SC, Westaki- win) thought Mr. Rose’s remark was out of order,

“So was the remark about the Christian flag,’ Mr. Rose re- joined. “The swastika was also a flag and it represented a sys- tem of barbarism and persecu- tion.

“We want a flag that will re- present a free people and a pros- perous people in a country in which everyone has an oppor- tunity.”

The debate on the Canadian flag will be continued at another session.

Indonesia: 1641

The history of the colonial administration, of Holland—and Holland was the head capitalist nation of the 17th century —“is one of the most extraordinary relations of treachery, bribery, massacre, and meanness.” Nothing is more characteristic than their system of stealing men, to get slaves for Java. The men stealers were trained for this purpose. The theif, the interpre- terpreter, and the seller, were the chief agepts in this vrade, native princes the chief sellers. The young people stolen, were thrown into the secret dungeons of Celebes, ready for sending to the slave-ships. An official report says: “This one town of Macassar, e.g., is full of secret prisons, one crammed with unfortunates, vic- fettered in chains, forcibly torn To secure Malacca, the Dutch corrupted the Portuguese governor. He let them inte the town in 1641, They hurried at once to his house and assassinated him, to from the payment of $21,875, the price of his treason. Wherever they set foot, devastation and depopulation followed. Banjuwangi, a province of Java, in 1750 numbered over 80,- 000 inhabitants, in 1811 only 18,000. Sweet commerce !—Capital,

rope forts. Stating that while it is true that in those countries

where there are democratic gov- ernments everything is being done to aid the reconstruction of Jewish life, Abramovitz pointed out that at the same time it would be unfair of Canadian and American Jewery to leave the European Jews to wage the dif- fieult struggle for a new way of life by themselves.

“The future of Jewish life in Europe is inextricably linked with the march of democratic progress,” he stated. Of six and one half million Jews in Europe in 1939 only one and one half million Jews survived. 80,000 Jews drawn from Poland, Ro- mania, Bulgaria, the USSR and other countries .are now dis- placed persons. They are for the most part still in concentration camps, and are still kept under supervision behind barbed wire.

“In some cases, foreign guards treat these Jews in a _ similar manner to their former Nazi guards. So far no attempt has been made to assist the Jews to return to normal life, to ease their sufferings and provide them with the necessary support and comforts. The Jews in these camps find themselves in a pos-

Lecturer Stresses Need For Help To Europe’s Jews

Pointing out that the Jewish people of Europe are gradually taking their rightful place as equals in those coun- tries, Mr. H. Abramovitz, journalist and lecturer, national manager of the Canadian Jewish Weekly, told an audience in Vancouver on Saturday, November 17, that Jewish peo- ple in Canada and the United States have responsibilities to

ition where although they have been liberated, they are not yet free.” :

Pointing to the great need for the opening of the doors of Pal- estine, Abromavitz called upon Britain to implement the prom- ise made in the Balfour Declara- tion, which guaranteed Jews en- try into Palestine under British protection. “The doors of Pal- estine should be opened without delay for all those displaced Jews who desire to go there and build a new life for themselves. Despite the demand of all pro- gressive minded people Jews and non-Jews alike, the British La- bor government has not yet act- ed.’”’

He stressed the fact that dur- ing the war the Allied Nations promised all people would share the fruits of. victory, according to their contribution to the war against fascism, and stated that the Jewish people in Palestine demonstrated by deeds their con- tribution to Allied victory in North Africa. “As. people the Jews have given a million and a quarter fighters to the United Nations’ armed forces, which is, compared with Canada, whose to- tal population equals the world Jewish population, a. figure of

‘\the issue in Northern Iran, take

A charge that the Azerbaiipan revolt was supplied with arms by the Soviet Union was sharply denied by the Moscow newspaper

Izvestia. Behind this charge was an obvious attempt to confuse

some of the heat off Britain and United States for their open in- tervention in Indonesia and China, and more particularly, create the impression that the present Iranian government has a united people behind it, a gov- ernment which could only be un- seated by outside intervention.

The facts are that with the ab- dication of the Shah in 1941, the emerging working ciass of the industrial centers immediately began establishing trade unions. In the textile center of Isfahan a trades council was established to coordinate the activities of the unions, and almost simultane, ously branches of the People’s Party sprang up in various cen- ters. :

An indication of the influence this democratic movement had on Iranian life was seen in the fact that in Isfahan the candidate of the trade unions and the People’s Party, Fedakar, received nearly 30,000 of the 34,000 votes cast. in the elections to the Iranian parliament. In 1942 and 1943 the democratic movement had grown to such an extent that the man- ufacturers and landlords of the country were forced to consult the trade unions on many ques- tions, and to grant many con- cessions in the way of “higher wages and shorter working hours. -

Alarm over the growth of de- mocratic sentiment brought an alliance between the new capit- alist class and the feudal land- lords. Through the semi-fascist
