Resolutions condemning the frame- |up against Vaara were passed by ‘large meetings, especially in the | Sudbury nickel mining area, where | thousands of Finnish workers are exploited in mines largely controlled by Mond of Great Britain. In Toronto, perin, editor of the Yiddish weekly newspaper, “Der Kamp,” was ar- jvested for violating local ordinances which forbade speakers to address meetings in other than the English language, the Vaara case is being made the central issue in a free speech fight.

A Free Speech Conference, composed of 79 | labor organizations, is backing the candidature. Under Police Chief Draper, who directed Halperin’s arrest, which | |was later dropped by the crown au- thorities, a police edict has been is- jsued which forbids the use of local halls for protest demonstrations.

On this basis, any one calling him- | self a socialist should stand shoulder. to shoulder with us against fascism; because, if we are not mistaken, the most prominent exponents of inter- national socialism, in assuming any on the materialistic dialectics of the! great masters of socialism. Now, it is simply absurd to con- ceive that this dialectic can never harmonize with the aims of parties or social classes whose interests fas- do criticize fascism, do so ‘only be- cause they feel that their interests could be better protected otherwise, Fascism, like every social force exercised in an openly. reactionary direction, is a formidable creator of potential social contrasts; therefore it perpetuates a situation of revo- lutionary unrest in which the more intelligent representatives of. the. bourgeoisie see a continuous Uikaat to their interests.
