MANIFESTO

For THE

ANTI-FASCIST Mon1LIzA'rioN eoMMrr'rEE
For Aid to the Soviet Union

U Hitlerism must be destroyed! IT CAN BE DESTROYED NOW BY THE
FULL COOPERATION OF CANADA, BRITAIN, THE SOVIET UNION
AND THE UNITED STATES. This is the opportunity and the necessity
brought about by the Red Army’s resolute defense of the Soviet Union against
the invading Nazi armies. .This is the demand of the overwhelming majority
of the Canadian people, who hate Hitlerism and Fascism in every form and
have consistently fought it.

Hitler’s armies have conquered or economically subordinated all of Europe-
except the British Isles and the Soviet Union, as much by the action of cor-
rupt politicians who betrayed their countries as by force of arms. Wherever
they have gone, new poverty and misery have followed. Cities have been
laid in ruins, whole populations torn from their homes, millions forced to
work for their new German masters. But no oppression, no terror, has been
able to extinguish in the oppressed peoples of Europe their fierce love of
liberty and independence.

“Everyone Who Engages 0ur Enemy
Advances 0111' Cause”——Prime Minister King
Unable to break the fine courage of the British people, Hitler faces a long‘

d war for which he needs the tremendous resources developed by the Soviet

people.

He also recognizes that his “new order” for Europe will never be secure
as long as the Soviet Union remains to champion the liberty and independence
of all peoples, Forced to accede to inclusion in the Soviet Union of the Baltic
States, West Ukraine and Byelorussia, and Bessarabia, Hitler knew that the
very existence of the Soviet Union challenged his plans for consolidating
Europe un-der Nazi rule. 1 That is why his armies have been hurled against the
Soviet Union in flagrant violation of the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty
signed by the Soviet Government, after six years of struggle for collective
security, to preserve its peace and neutrality.

Defeat the Anti-Soviet Fifth Column
0f Hitler in Canada!

There is yet another reason for the unprovoked Nazi aggression against
the Soviet Union. Hitler’s action is a call to reactionaries everywhere for a
crusade against the Soviet Union, against Communism. Nor is this call going
unanswered. Wielding tremendous influence in Canada, in Britain and the
United States are powerful groups who so place their own selfish interests
above those of the people that they will seek_ by every means to assist Hitler
in:  attempt to conquer the Soviet Union and so enslave the Soviet and
free. peoples everywhere. B
