Let us do everything to show them that Canada is everything they heard it was when they suffered in the concentration camps of Europe. Much the same thing happened in Timmins a few weeks ago when anâ€" other story was reported which put the DIP.‘s in a bad light. This type of reporting doesn‘t help any situation. The former D.

Marie, said: without investigation. . Even usually careful paper editors forgot, to check the news which came to them from Hornepayne. The news item said that former D.P.‘s were involved in a fracas with lumber camp workers at Hornepayne and some had been injured. The story went on to infer that the whole thing had star. ted because the lumber workers lkad a ‘"Contrary to press revorts, Displaced persons were not in any way involved in the recent lumber camp brawl at Hornepayne." The Deputy Minister based his state. ment on a report made ‘by a Departâ€" mental investigator on June 18th, The report in part read as follows: "The Displaced Peifsons in their bunkhouses, heard the fracas and beâ€" gan to think that they might be atâ€" tacked at any moment, but the foreâ€" man of the camp told them that they were in danger and to remain where they were which order they obeyed. Therefore, the newspaper reports of the bush workers clashing with Displaced Persons is entirely false." This time it wasn‘t just. the "reds" who spread the story. Supposedly reâ€" spconsible newspapermen grabbed at grudge against the D.P.‘s.
