EDITORIAL TQWCS
The Sm,
npHIS editorial;'isbeih^^rittlEn.o week late. But we believe x that Its purjjosfe Is rjot tdo late.
LdSt w6dk Woi-M bbs^rved "Remernbrqnce Day/' the dd^ fbr recalllrw^^Hie mernbry bf/those.Y^ho fought qnd died,in Wars' tb savfe the Wbi-ld frbrn the pnslagght of fpscism and ty'rdHhy; In the niiidst of "Remembrance Pay" cerernbnie? in Sjbndon a mdn sHoUted: "Hfell. Hitler/' A jucJge ordered him ^xdnriihi^d to determine whether he was sane. -
in Vancouvei- "Remembrance Day"^Observances"^were also held. On that day it was given to Vancouver B'naj B'rith bhd thfe GIVlc^UhlH^ £:puhcil tp; mqHe d unique contribution to the hfiemorial bbsehrahfces. The-dinner with Danny .j<aye as the guest of honor, and havih^iqs its theme the furtherance of racial understanding was indeed a fitting; tribute ito the men who hove died in defense of d^mpcracy.
There was no public disturbance dt our "Remembrance Day" gathering. There was hoy/ever, p.disturbpnce'of a different kind, yet at the same tirne similar, to jthe ''Hell Hitler" outcry in^Londpn, Th^ editor of this publication received l. phone coll from a rnan who jvyanted to advise the 'yewish society" that they should not throw/jai dinner for Danny Kaye because he has feeen in trouble .with the Un-American Activities Committee and is^really a "pink" qnd a "Comrnunist tool; When asked for the source of this information, our "fr|end suggested that we; could get full details by writing or wiring Senator -Homer Ferguson in Washington, Hearst colurhnis Georgfe Sbkolsky (an "orthodox Jew"?), or perhaps Senator McCarran. -v ~       ,     , .
"What right has this.mdn Koye, I believe he'slrlsh, gpt to come qnd talk to us about rapial disqrimihatlbn/'. our In-forrnont demanded to know*^^hat's a,problehrijhat exists ohiy in the Southern States.— But after all, f wouldn't wont my daughter to mdrry d-Negro." >
Thi^ is the basis on which people such as the itian whb called would apply, the smear (technique to a petspnblity like Danny Koyey merely because he dares to say a word against racial discrlminqtion. The man who would :do this i^rbbably deserves the same treatment o^ that Hieted out tb the dlstutber of "Remembrance Day" in London.
We don't know ^whethei*-the men referred oiir telephone inforrnant. Senator, Fetguson, Mr. Sdkofsky, or Senator McCdrrbn, actually hpve Dahny.; Koye's name ,:on their "list." What is most distjurbihglJs that It shouldfc^posslble ^or a srriall-tjme ras^pist, to refer to such people in high public places and look up to then? ds leader^. , ,      i .
. Let us recall that Danny Koye is the man Who wbs chosen jqst year to,receive t|ie B'nai B'rith humanitarian^owbrd for nis ^efforts in promoting brotherhood. B'nai B'rith together ^ith its many drganizat|bnat arms; enjoys an outstanding reputation for public service in the welfare of humonityi Yet ^h^fe ore roscists and qnti-Semites In Canada; as well as United states who put the AdL and the BB high oh their list of "tools pv coiriHiunism." To, ^oy that nothing cbuld be further from the truth would ovdi! us naught withf such people.
For ourselves, our children^ and for the mojority of all pepples who ore devoted to human welfare and decency we ir^yst stanch fast behind ourprgpnizotions and democratic insti-* tutipns,— and eyen seek greater efforts for the promotion of uhdei-stahaing and racial equality.'
On !§atuf(iay evening B'pbi B'rith will once again present
