Communism as a threat to our democratic institutions and indusâ€" trial warfare as a hindrance to reâ€" construction and prospenmity, were the two enemies singled out as menacing Canada today by C. H. Carlisle, président of the Dominion Bank, in lgis address to shareholders: at the annual meeting in Toronto on Dec. 11. _ 0 es Nnting world conditions marked by "confusion, instability and danâ€" ger" greater than at any time in the past, Mr. Carlisle said Canada could not isolate herself from these influences, and instanced the recent spy plot exposure as ovidence‘. Bank President Sees Threat in Communism and Labour Unrest rights Wanada, said Mr. Carlisle concedâ€" ed to others the right she herself enjoyed of maintaining a freely chosen government. We had chosen democracy and our resi)onaibility was to defend it "not only against aggression from without but against treason from within." He contrasted the advantages of the Canadian democratic system and the privileges and comforts we enjoyed, with conditions in Russia, and said: "It is difficult to underâ€" stand whly anyone who has enjoyed the privi efien that we have, or is even acquainted with them, would advocate that we discard these priyfle‘el and accept Communism or totalitarianism in any form.". Mr. Carlisle referred to the spread of labour organizations and their influence, but intimated that the betterment of conditions which was their purpose was not being achieved. Industrial warfare threatâ€" ened the supremacy of both govern» ment and law all over the Angloâ€" Saxon world. "Such a threat must be hurled back and kept back or civilization is lost. Nothing ever was plainer than that today the strike _ weapon is being over worked." â€" 20 He noted time and wages lost, and the progress towards reconâ€" struction hindered, by strikes . in Canada.
