(Opposite Station) Canada Misrepresented by Finn Paper, Says Minister Sudbury Pastor Calls on Newcomers to Canada to Realize Their Liberties. Says New Arrivals Subjected to Form of "Third Degree" by Red Element. â€" Gives Cases of Tactics That Should Not be Tolerated. Because the attitude of some of the Finlanders at Sudbury is likeiy to turn British Canadians against all Finlandâ€" ers generally, and because of the many features of the case that may have possible application to Timmins the full text of a statement issued by Rev. J. D. Jones, superintendent of nonâ€"Anâ€" gloâ€"Saxon work for the Sudbury presâ€" bytery of the United Church, is given herewith :â€" "First, being an Englishman with some knowledge of the centuries of struggle through which the British achieved selfâ€"government and erected her magnificent institutions, I feel that only ignorance of the British system would permit any nationalistic group to try to destroy what another great peoâ€" ple has created and by its best genius is still seeking to perfect. The King, a most democratic gentleman, greatly beâ€" loved by the British throughout the empire for his genuine worth and esâ€" teemed because he has recognized himâ€" self as the chief servant of the empire, with duties as well as privileges; the King stands for all the Britisher holds dear in the vast system of law, order, government, liberty, literature, art and education and all the other multitudinâ€" ous things which comprise the priceless heritage of the British people. Not lightly can such benefits be surrenderâ€" ed. They took ages to build up. The King stands to the British race as the symbol of these rich values. To attack the King is to attack the vast heritage for which he stands as well as to atâ€" tack one who certainly has done his duty to the full and gone the second mile beyond. To attack the King at this time of his suffering when nations are filled with sorrow and sympathy is not only possible criminal offence, but it is the height of effrontery and the same abuse of privilege. "I would like to make clear my posiâ€" tion in this campaign against the utâ€" terances of the Finnish paper Vapaus. "The editors of Vapaus have no sense of the proprieties of the situation. They with their compatriots are in Canada, $4.00â€"14".. and 16" $5.00â€"14" and 16" $3.500â€"14" and 16" Timmins, Ontario Night Phone 237 or 151 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Ebl "The problem of reaching the proâ€" :E nounced Red is this, that he is named Te a traitor who dares to read any other 1c paper than Vapaus or Communistic paâ€" i pers of like type. Vapaus steadily reâ€" ;0 fuses even to print church notices or z_’ anything but what suits the editors to give the people. Now then, see how 1‘6‘1 the thing works. The White Finns at have usually kept silent. The Reds are _ | organized to a finish. Each immigrant 181 f s ._ | is met early after arrival and in the 15 i i _ | course of two weeks is taken aside, ’1e | sometimes m a .small room where a ismall commitee sits and the newly arâ€" rived person is put under questions similar to the old ‘Third Degree‘ so much condemned in some places as means whereby confessions may be forced from criminals. They are asked ‘to tell their family history, whether # | Reds or Whites, and if Reds there is little fuss, but if Whites then there is trouble enough. We have a number of confessions of people who have been subjected to this abusive quizzing conâ€" ducted under threats to certify that the Finns in Canada live under a reign of terror. B CD e w» # $ | "Let it be understood that these Red Finns compose but a portion of the Finâ€" nish people who reside in Canada. Let it also be stated with joy that the averâ€" age and unsullied Finn, the White Finn has few equals among the racial grouyps of the earth. The White Finns make the best possible immigrants, absoluteâ€" ly fit, capabie, willing, sturdy, honest and dependable. The Red Finn is a menace in Finland as well as here. The battle was fought out in Finland reâ€" cently and the Red group was conquerâ€" ed, stable government given to the pecâ€" ple and the Finnish people are on ine high way to racial distinction ofter cenâ€" turies of oppression. strangers in a land of opportunity; what can be behind the attempt to lightly destroy thie civilization they have chosen to reside in without any attempt to understand what it means, but brazâ€" en effrontery and senseless egotism ? "Two girls arrived in an Ontario town and for several weeks were harâ€" rassed by the Reds, threatened, shadowâ€" ed, bullied until they lived in terror. Their confession suggests the dark ages instead of liberty and Canada. Another man who arrived within the past year after two weeks in Canada was invited to a Red boarding house where he found himself in an unfriendly atmosâ€" phere with five men ready to bully him into the Red organization. They quesâ€" tioned him for two hours about his associations in Finland and learning that his people were White Finns placâ€" ed abusive questions before him. "Second, and this is to me very imâ€" portant, the Red organization under the leadership of Vapaus, grossly misâ€" represents Canada to every Finnish imâ€" migrant capable of being brought unâ€" der its deomination. "Indeed the domination of Vapaus has long been virulent, oppressive and abusive, so that we have wondered how long will it be before the Finns in Caâ€" nada break down this tyranny? "What is worse about the movement is this elicited from several victims, that questionnaires are sent to Finnish Reds for information to be used against unwilling White Finnsg in Canada in hope that by threats their membership can be forced. "These are not occasional tactics, but the recognized procedure of the Reds until they constitute a reign of terror and force the Finnish people to live ftar beneath their privilege in Canada. "My second interest in this campaign is then to seek by publicity and by any means at my .disposal to inform all these Finnish people that they don‘t have to submit to these exploiting, money grabbing, bludgeoning Reds, to tell them that under Canadian law they are free to live their best life and deâ€" velop their best selfhood unmolested by tyranny from any quarter. If these people wish to go to church, that they may go without threats and losses beâ€" ing meted out to them. ‘"‘That they may read anything they consider worth while and the wider the range of their reading the better for them and that their first duty in Canâ€" ada is to understand Canadian history, law, government, procedure, so as to work in harmony and help build up the common heritage. ‘"My third desire is to show that the present campaign of the Reds is workâ€" ing evil to the whole Finnish people in Canada. It is making them people not wanted. Already a number of emâ€" ployers declare they will not employ Finns at any price and others are takâ€" ing the same stand. Groups of Reds in any plant constitute a menace and have to be broken up repeatedly for safety. This necessity works to the Finnish disadvantage, every member of the racial group being loser, Wwhites as well as Reds; Reds as well as Whites. "The fourth objective is not so imâ€" mediately important, but I challenge the Reds to prove their ‘Communism'; by their works. Why does not Vapaus for instance practice Communism? If Communism is a practical goal, why not demonstrate its worth by actual Communism. But Vapaus is a capitalâ€" istic movement, and the whole organizâ€" ation of the Reds is an exploiting orâ€" ganized movement, with the supreme objection of inflaming the Finns until "I would like to assure all the Finns in Canada that the Government of Canada is a ‘Peouole‘s Government,‘ nct an autocracy bent upon slavery, but a aemocracy bent upon service, and that this government will protect every Finn who makes simple request for such proâ€" tection to the authorities, I would like to assure them that the people of Caâ€" nada almost to a unit resent attitudes insanely destructive, utterly unconâ€" structive and set forth by irresponsible people who refuse to practice and deâ€" monstrate as feasible what they want through ruthless bloodshed and revoluâ€" tion to force upon a whole nation. If Communism is possible for the many it must be possible for the few. Let Vapaus demonstrate the thing as workâ€" able and desirable. Let the demonâ€" stration be such that it will commend itself to the electorate of the land and then by peaceful means evolve to the goal "Meanwnile Canada is governed by the people and for the people as a whole, not for groups of disordered malâ€" contents who fatten upon confusion, anarchy, propaganda and terror. they give money willingly and freely to the Vapus exchequer. ‘"Meanwhile Vapaus is the only paper which reaches these people generally. Five times a week this paper enters homes with its message of hate, with its inflammatory content; what can be the fruit of such constant reading but a spirit of discontent and an intention to helo the revolution? "The pity of it. This vicious evil is being worked upon one of the finest raâ€" cial groups entering Canada. What can be done effectively to save the Finn from blight that he might take his proâ€" per place in the progress of the nation? "There is a hopeful note to sound. There are many Reds who are heartily sick of the whole propaganda,. One Red warrior who fought in the recent civil war in Finland awakened to the real objectives of the Reds and he was joyous when he heard of the movement recently started against the editor of Vapaus. There are many who have suffered many things of these Reds who rejoice that the time of their liberâ€" ation is near. Then the Whites are coming out in self defence so that the future is brighter far than some even dared to hope a while back. The Northern News in its Cobalt secâ€" tion last week says:â€""Albert Munroe, second oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Munroe, received a bad cut on his side on Tuesday, December 1l1th. Albert along with some other boys, was playâ€" ing on the roof of the building at the back of the Baptist Church. Sliding down the roof he was caught by a six inch rustry spike which tore through through his clothing and made a nasty cut in his hip. Miss Holland, who was at the school house rendered first aid before Mr. Munroe took him to Dr. Case‘s office. It was found that the spike had broken off in the cut and after it had been removed several stiches had to be used to close the wound."
