Title : Sizing him up Publication : Sydney Post Record Date : 1946-07-05 Comments : On July 1, 1946, the first peace time detonation of an atomic bomb was carried out on the Pacific Island of Bikini Atoll. The testing created considerable public anxiety so the US Navy distributed information packets and transmitted targeted radio broadcasts to try to calm public nerves. The native people of the island were told they could return to their homes in a couple of months. Today, the island is still uninhabitable.

Title : The modern Oliver Twist Publication : Sydney Post Record Date : 1970-01-01 Comments : The term 'Sessional Indemnity' refers to wages drawn by Members of Parliament. The image of Parliament considering a member's pay raise while price and wage controls were in effect and the steel workers on strike provides plenty of irony for Josh's pen.

Title : A bigger gun this session Publication : Sydney Post Record Date : 1946-01-01 Comments : The federal election of 1945 returned Mackenzie King to power but with what was technically a minority government. There were 8 "liberal independents" from Quebec that sat separately due to their opposition to conscription but could be counted on to vote with the government on most issues. However, as Josh illustrates here, a non-confidence motion would be a serious threat that would moderate Kings policy initiatives.

A LOCAL COMPLICATION OUTSIDE LABOUR
A LOCAL COMPLICATION OUTSIDE LABOUR
Title : A local complication (outside labour) Publication : Sydney Post Record Date : 1946-08-09 Comments : A popular Cape Breton folk song dating back to 1929 called 'The Honest Working Man' complains of workers from off the island as 'outside labour' competing for local jobs. At that time it was Newfoundlanders that were singled out. However during and after the war, ethnic minorities were the target of some resentment. With the steel workers on strike at this time, the poten- tial for civil strife was probably high. Josh himself, of course, was an outsider in all these respects.

Title : Even a windbag couldn't help Publication : Toronto Daily Star Date : 1942-12-08 Comments : One hundred and thirty thousand Italian troops were part of the Axis' 6'th Army that was surrounded in 'Operation Uranus'. Only 40,000 would eventually make it home from the siege. This, coupled with the Italian losses in North Africa, weakened Mussolini's hold on power. Whereas German public opinion was under the constant attention of the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, Mussolini was not able to stem the political tide against him.

Title : The prodigal son returns to the fold Publication : Hamilton Spectator Date : 1946-01-29 Comments : John L. Lewis was one of the most colourful and controversial figures of the Labour move- ment in the mid-20th century. He was president of the United Mine Workers from 1920 to 1960 and founded he CIO (Committee for Industrial Organization) which was expelled from the American Federation of Labor (A.F. of L.) in 1938 by its leader William Green. However, in 1946, Lewis decided to bring the UMW back under the A.F. of L. umbrella. That lasted only one year as Lewis broke with the A.F. of L. over their insistence that members sign a non-Communist oath mandated by the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947.

This added more fuel to the fire leading up to the strike as workers saw this as Ottawa legislating profits for the corporations without wage improvements for workers.

Title : The Latest assault Publication : Daily Tribune Date : 1947-05-09 Comments : When price and wage controls were removed at the end of World War II, the cost of the 5 cent candy bar rose sharply. The National Federation of Labour Youth (NFLY), which was the new incarnation of the Young Communist League after it was outlawed in 1941, took this up as a cause. Josh apparently did his part with this cartoon. The cause picked up momentum and CBC reported later in the month that approximately 200 chil- dren stormed the Victoria legislature demanding action. Youth protests in other locations were also noted. The NFLY tried to organize a cross country protest for May 3, 1947, and the Toronto Telegram responded in print accusing the NFLY of being a Communist front determined to 'plant a few of the seeds of Marxism' in Canadian youth. In the cold war atmosphere that prevailed at the time, the Telegram article was sufficient to get parents and adult leaders to restrain their kids and the protest was abandoned.

On March 5, a few days before this cartoon was published, Winston Churchill responded with his famous speech in Fulton, Missouri in which he said

Its report, tabled Aug 22 and accepted by a majority vote was 1,100 pages long and contained the detailed testimony on either side of the steel industry dispute and the complexity of managing within the price and wage control system. Among its recommendations were a federal-provincial conference to draft a labour code, better cooperation between the various boards setting price and labour policy, mechanics for govern- ment supervision of strike votes and, in general, nothing of immediate use in resolvning the strike.

Title : A poll in Germany Publication : Toronto Globe and Mail Date : 1943-05-01 Comments : In February 1943, Goebbels made a famous speech to a carefully selected audience in which he said 'I ask you: Do you believe with the Fuhrer and with us in the final total victory of the German peo- ple?' Here Josh is ridiculing the propaganda campaign intended to bolster the German fighting spirit after the tide of war had swung decisively against the Axis powers.

NOTHING BUT TEARS FOLKS
NOTHING BUT TEARS FOLKS
Title : Nothing but tears, Folks Publication : Winnipeg Free Press Date : 1942-11-06 Comments : At the start of the 1942 NHL season, about 80 players were serving in the armed forces. Both the US and Canadian governments urged the NHL not to suspend the league 'in the interest of public morale'. In spite of worries about the diluted talent pool, ticket sales remained brisk as Josh points out. The aggressive recruiting brought some fresh faces to the league such as Bep Guidolin who at age 16 was too young to be conscripted. It was not quite robbing the cradle as Josh shows here, but a record for the youngest player in the NHL. Guidolin did have his playing career interrupted by the army two years later when he reached 18. An interesting side note to Guidolin was that he was an ardent sup- porter of the formation of an NHL player's union. This apparently got him in trouble with the owners in 1952 and he spent his last 9 playing years in the minors.

Title : Now if the preliminaries will step down Publication : Sydney Post Record Date : 1946-07-18 Comments : Shortly after confederation, Canada adopted the 'Red Ensign' as its official flag. This was basically a British naval flag with a Union Jack in the top left corner and a Canadian coat of arms in the middle. In November 1945, a parliamentary committee was struck to recom- mend a new national flag. After several thousand sub- missions, the committee proposed another variant of the Red Ensign with a golden maple leaf in the center panel. The Quebec legislature was against the contin- ued use of the Union Jack or any foreign symbols on the flag and the debate dragged on. King dropped the issue and it was was not until 1964 that Lester Pearson took up the debate again that led finally to the adoption of the current flag of Canada

This galvanized Quebec nationalist sentiment and led to the formation of the Bloc Populaire Candadien in Sept. 1942 which existed primarily to fight this issue. Maxime Raymond abandoned the Liberals to lead the new party which held four seats in the House of Commons at one point. Pierre Trudeau and Jean Drapeau were members in their youth.

The cost of such a project required multiple levels of government to coop- erate and hence progress took place at a pace that frustrated many Cape Breton residents

On February 3, 1944 the Spanish government issued a statement in which it promised 'the fulfilment of duties appertaining to such strict neutrality, both from Spanish nationals and from foreign subjects.' As a Communist with bitter memories of the Spanish revolution, Josh's distaste for Franco is expressed here in his hopes that he would fall along with the other fascist dictators of Europe.

MONKEY WRENCH IN THE WORKS
Title : Monkey Wrench in the works Publication : Hamilton Spectator Date : 1946-01-24 Comments : Although it was just brewing at the time this cartoon was printed, 2700 members of local 1005 of the United Steelworkers of America would walk off their jobs at Stelco that summer in Hamilton on a strike that would have far reaching implications. Three days after this cartoon was published, the Union Local met to set out their contract demands. Among them were a 40 hour work week, 2 weeks vacation following 5 years of service and the recognition of the union and the collective bargaining process. The strike would last 86 days and spread to Westinghouse, Firestone and the Hamilton Spectator Newspaper that published this cartoon and would soon fire Josh from its staff after a very brief stint. The strike would divide the city among those supporting and opposing the unions and include violent confrontations between strikers and replacement workers. By mid-summer 20 percent of the city's industrial work force would be on strike and thousands more laid off by the ensuing plant shutdowns
