!~ ~EDITORIAL â€" Party of Canada,.we were considerably heartened to learn last week that The Daily Press also found the matter worthy of comment. The occasion‘ came following a public meeting in the town hall, in which the Laborâ€"Progressive party, masquerading under the title of the ‘Porcupine Housewives Committee" and using for bait the proposul to protest against the increased cost of living, sought to draw Timmins housewives into an unwitting alliance with the Communist organization here. Thirtyâ€"four women, including a number of Communists, attended, which wou‘ld indicate that Timmins citizens generally are becoming aware of tne tazst.cs currently employed by the Communist (Laborâ€" Progressive) party in its pretense of being interested in the common Sudbury hits the top of the mining ladder, so far as population is conâ€" cerned, it is stated in figures recently published by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The figure given is 39,093, including CopperCiliff‘s population of 3,561. ‘Timmins comes next, however, with count of 25,856, followed by Kirkland Lake, with 21. 0J1, including the editor of The Northern News. Rouyn has a papulation of 10, 020, Flin Flon (Maniâ€" toba), 10.000; Noranda, 6,000; Malarâ€" tic, 5,000; ‘Amos, 3,600. At a peak of production, in 1941, the gold mines alone employed 32,551 men,. more than six times the 1931 total. Wages were $62,150,810 in 1941, eight times the figures for©1931. An estimate has been given that for every man employed in mining, 12 others worked in supporting and supplying industries. Production figures, for 1941 and folâ€" lowed by those in 1930, are: Sudbury and Copper Cliff, $31,725,00 and $11,646,000; ‘Timmins, ~$14,2312,000 and $6,270,100; Kirkland Lake, $10.887,000 (3) Is the purpose Oof the meeting one which could be affected by such a meeting â€" or is it a matter of provincial or federal jurisdiction, in which the people of the province or dominion as a whole must express themselves? (4) If you are unable to answer the above questionsâ€"yourself, have you checked with those who might have information on the subject; heads of other and similar organizations; members of council; older residents of the community; or the office of your daily or weekly newspaper? There would seem to be a few, however, who have not yet learned to discriminate between meetings planned by the Communists and those called by partiee whicth are genuinely interested in the future of Canada as a democratic nation. s (2) Is the person signing or issuing the announcement of a meeting known to you and to your neighbours as a reputable person, generally acknowledged to be interested in the public welfare? Congratulations are extended this week to Ed. Stephenson, editor and publisher of The Northern Tripune, in Kapuskasing. Mr. Stephâ€" enson, forced by circumstances which beâ€"devil all publishers from time to time, had suspended publication of his paper temporarily. We are glad to see‘ that he has resumed the chore of putting out The Northern Tribune, and we hope he meets with ever increasâ€" ing success. Every community needs the benefit of local news, the opportunity of exchanging opinions, and the leadership provided by its own newspaper. It is not always, however, that the work done by A community paper is fully appreciated, and it would seem that Mr. Stephenson has at times been made aware of this. We believe the work is worth while despite its trials and occasional tribulations. It is to be hoped that Mr. Stephenson will continue to find the time to spend the necessary hours behind the linotype in the service of his community. - For this reason, therefore, The Advance draws attention to a few fundamental differences between the two types of meetings. We suggest, in reading public announcements or invitations to meetings that you ask yourself these questicns: (1) Is the meeting called by an organization or group which has been proven to merit public confidence? Sudbury First, Timmins Second Among Mining Communities In Canada We would go farther, and express another hope â€" that citizens of Kapuskasing will give Mr. Sephenson their full support. For it congratulations are due to the publisher, they are doubly due to those for whom the paper is published. Commenting on this, The Globe and Mail has this to say : It cannot be suppcosed that the rank and file of the membership would be aware that their party was absolutely a servant of the Comâ€" munist "Centre" in Moscbw. But they now can have no doubts as to the use to which their activities and obedience are put. Every task they undertake, every order they carry out, every trivial act they perform in the political, social annd industrial spheres, is directed toward fulfilment of the master plan, or some phase thereof. The lesson which the Canadian people, as ‘distinct from their government, must draw from the investigation is simply stated. This first experience with espionage cught surely to cure them of a too widespread complacency which has made the task of the Communists so simple. The notion that the Communists "don‘t matter"; that they are not a "force" in the land should be eliminated forever. _ As political parties are measured they do not have to be a power. Their In considering the recently published final report of the Royal Comtnission on espionage, one paragraph leaps to the eye: "It . . has been overwhelmingly established by the evidence throughâ€" out, that the Communist movement ‘(now the Labor Progressive Party) was the principal base within which the espionage network was recruited; that it not only supplied personnel with adequately “develop- ed‘!~ motivation, ‘but provided the organizational framework whereâ€" in recruiting could be and was carried out safely and efficiently." prtisan character merely provides the license to operate freely, exploiting all the rights and prwileges which freedom of assembly guarantees. About the worst mistake that could be made would be to suppose that the espionage "cells" have collapsed. The party still operates freely and is still to be feared.. There will be among the members and fellowâ€"travellers those who will work even more energetica,lly for the cause. This is the next important thing which Canadians have still to learn about communism. It is more than a political ideal, much more than an economic philosophy. It is a religion, whose fanatics recognize but one god. That god is resident in Moscow and there are no loyalties to stand in the way of ‘blind obedience to We are unwilling to assume that members of The Laborâ€"Progressive ({communist) party in Timmins are actively working for Moscow. But the fact remains, that now the evidence has been brought out, no one who belongs to the Laborâ€"Progressive (communist) party can be said to be working for the good of Canada, or for the benefit of DRUNK IN SCHOOL YARD any elass or group of people in Canada. We point out, once again, the communist party in Canada is antiâ€" democratic, antiâ€"Canadian. It goes, at time of writing, under the name of the Laborâ€"Progressive party. Ignorance can no longer be considered an excuse for failing to recognize this fact. TO TELL FRIENDS FROM THE COMMUNISTS THE REAL PURPOSE â€"OF THE L.L.P.
