Inno- cent and patriotic oitizens with Ger- man or foreign names should not be made the target of idle togues. An incident occurred in the last Great War when a gang of young hoodlums raided' a Toronto butcher shop, wheer the proprietor had a German name. The young fellows made a yreck of the premises. in the casualty list in the newspapers the next day appeared thename of the son of that butcher, "killed' in action" with a Canadian battalion. —Listowel Banner CAN U.

WHEN HITLER d-IITLER BEAT US Under normal conditions the people of Canada would not abject to listening to the head of any na- tion make an address over the radio. For a good many months we have heard Adolf Hitler, and, he was on the air !for well aver an hour on. Tuesday. His purposes in speaking froan Danzig was strate- gic, it was part of his war plan; it was fo rthe purpose of stating the case against Poland just as well as he could place it --or twist it. The objection. eve have to titre carrying of such an address is that people who listened to- It might not know the answers, When Hitler spoke of the ananner is which German people in Poland had been used and maltreater by the Poles he aright possibly have •convinced some that he had a good case to present; possibly he wad telling them something which had ,hitherto been suppressed, and perbaps he had been goaded on to action by the manner in which the !Poles had been attacking and imposing !their will upon the Germans of that nation. Hitler is clever enough to Present his case exactlp as. he wants it to appear oud for the time being he warded his world listeners to be thinking the same as his own people in Germany, . . • ,die is quite possible that people who listened to that address had All Kinds of Wood Working Wheelbarrows, Wagon Tongues, Rims, Axles, Neck Yokes' Whiffletreas, Etc. HorseShoei ng a Speciality General Blacksmithing and Repairs Mr. Raby Ethel THE BRUSSELS POST neither record nor memory of Ilitler'e eltatemegta made in the Reichstag. In his latest Tadio ad- dres.s he Made no rederenee to what he said of Poland on !dap 31, 1935, "We recognize ,the 0?olisb State as the !tome of a great patriotic nation with the understanding and cordial triend'shi11 of candid nations meets." IR one is Inolined' to say that sue ha statemept was made In 1935, and much may have transpired meantime to cause Hitler to change his mind, then It Is well to consider his utterance in the Ger- man Reichstag of Feibruary 20, 1938, "In the fifth year which' tollowed the corning into force of the first great •international conference by ,the Reich, we stake with genuine admiration that our relations• with that state (Poland) with which we hath perhaps' the greatest antagon. len!, are not only charocterized bp a detente, but that In the course od the ,past years, these relations re- sulted in a more friendly drawing together, ''The Polish state respects the national conditions, in this country and that city and Germany reaped Polish rights, Thus it was possible to find the way to an understanding, which, emanating from Danzig, in spite of the assertions of many mis- chief ' makers has succeeded in re- moving all friction between Ger- many and, Poland, and made it pos- sible to work together in true amity." Id it had been possible to have these dormer Hitler statements presented gat the time he was mak- ing his latest radio address then the average listener would have been well able to forma Lair and aocurete 'conclusion. But of course that was Impossible. So nothing excere the biased statement was presented. to Hitler explained why 1t was con. sidered advisable to have an agree- ment With Russia, He neglected to state that in the Reichstag on January 30, 1907, he bad spoken of Soviet Russia this way: "As far as Germany is concerned I do not want to leave any doubt ae to the following: We look upon bob sateviem as an intolerable danger to the world. We are theredore en- deavoring to make the German people as immune as poslsible from this contagion. ,For this it Is necessary that we should avoid all close contacts with the bearers of these poisonous baccilli. I request the German workers, to avoid all contacts and relations with ,these international .parasites, and conse- quently it will never occur that one will see me wining or dining with them. Furthermore any treaty links between Germany ad present- day Bolshevist Reseda would be without any value whatsoever," If people who heard Hitler speak- ing of hie relationship with Russia on Tuesday had before them the text as, quoted, above, they would have been in fair enough position to draw accurate conclusions. Tbey would have found it difficult indeed to find adequate answer to his 1939 m.00d. 111110h causes hion to share with these "bearers of poisonous bacciili" such pieces es two de- spoilers may mutually agree to tear from Poland. As a rule we are rather tolerant people in Canada and we will listen to a:nytltirg a. man has to say, but in the case at the Hitler broadcast we believe it accurate to say it was a fall 100 per cent. German propa- ganda. When he advised the "Eng- lish gentlemen!' to come to Ger- many and; learn something of the fine art of ineopaganda he was probably telling the truth. And we placed our government controlled radio network at Hiders disposal for more Mian en hour and didnot change him a red cent, And we are at war with Germany.
