As a matâ€" ter of fact the British Empire‘s greatest glory is that it is not a racial organization, but the peoâ€" ple of literally scores ofracial groups bound toâ€" gether by the common ideals of love of liberty, justice and progress. At this time it is well to acknowledge freely that some of the most loyal On the other hand there should be no tolerance shown for suwbversive alien groups under any guise. Not only is this imperative for the safety of Canada, but it is particularly necessary for the protection of loyal Canadians of other than Britâ€" ish origin. There have been alien groups workâ€" ing in Timmins for years, financed by foreign money, and in subtle ways seeking to undermine this land for the supposed advantage of countries that are alien in â€" ideals to Canada and the Empire. Previ b@ to the war these organizations had the lence: to â€"thijeaten others of their racial GW to farce them Into the subversive efforts, and on occasion the matter even proceeded beâ€" d the limits of threats.

Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and pur heads held high,.and with God‘s help we shall not fail." ; There will be much sympathy with the local gentlieman who said the other day that the hardâ€" mmhefoundtobearmflusmumeradio News of illâ€"omen, without the background that would give it the proper perspective, keeps coming over the radio to annoy and depress. The hurried ‘and often inmature news over the radio has a tendency to confuseâ€" The defection of the King of Belgium, for example, was a shock to all in its first but the fuller story showed that even this situation was not as calamitous as it first appeared. It may be imaâ€" gination, but many are beginning to feel that the radio always gets the bad news first, while any good news seams to travel more slowly. In‘ any event the newspapers carry a much more balâ€" anced account of the progress of the war, and people would be saved much if theyâ€"waited for the more detailed accounts in the newspapers. This, however, is too much to expect, because all are so deeply concerned that they feel they canâ€" not wait for anything. It should be admitted thb,t the Canadianâ€"radio broadcasts, being based onanadian Press newsgathering has beer more rellable and less disturbing that some of the foreign broadcasts, Not only would nerves be qaved some strain, but a better grasp of the war simation would be given the ordinary man and woman if they avoided at least someâ€"of the outâ€" slde radio announcements. 3 'rhere is trying news to be endured, however, tl‘gqge days, irrespective of radio or anything else. flw‘ Onlythoaewhohavegaenbelowthesur- the'nflhfiieandproeeed"oétheirmasgood Timmins, Ont., Thursday, May 30th, 1940 "BE OF GOOD CHEER !" â€"There was news on Tuesday of this week that should be heartening to all Canadians, to all Britâ€" ishers, to all who are concerned in the battle for liberty and decency in the world. Perhaps, the significance of the news was not fully realized beâ€" cause of the other items of apparent import that crowded the wires and the air. But so far as Canada is concerned, Tuesday‘s news from Ottawa was the most heartening since the opening of the war. The news suggests that the Governâ€" ment is dropping the idea of Canada‘s war effort being a political party event, and from now on will more and more make it an allâ€"Cangdian venâ€" ture, in which men of all parties and classes will unite to make the part of Canada in the war as wide and as valuable as is possible. The way for this has been opened by the Government calling into conference theâ€"leaders of others parties and making such. overtures as may make possible a more wholehearted and devoted war effort on Canada‘s part The force of public opinion apâ€" parently has at last stirred Ottawa.. Not only is 18' suggestion of the pleasing news that alâ€" ready the Government has been doing more than the critics have thought> possible. Once Canaâ€" dians feel that Canadaâ€"all Canadaâ€"is wholeâ€" heartedly in the warâ€"that all the powerâ€"and reâ€" source of this conntry is to be freely given to the m cansaâ€"-athom will be a different morale eviâ€" dent in every section of the land. People will be so occupied doing â€"whatâ€" they can, so busy actually helping win the war, that there will be littlé time If the Ukrainian Farmerâ€"Labour group is in disrepute, the members have themselves to blame. Over the Polish hall here there proudly flies the Union Jack. If the Ukrainian Farmerâ€"Labour group have a British flag they keep it safely hidâ€" den. There were pictures of Lenin and Stalin in places of honour at the Ukrainian hall, but none of the King or Queen of the land that has given them generous hospitality. If the ideals of the group are those of the gangster nations of Europe, then there is no place for them in this country, and there should be no tolerance for them at this time. There is urgent need throughout all the world for the fiercest hatred for all the races that identify themselves with aggression, murâ€" der and rapine.â€"Ifâ€"any group in this country are against these things and loyal to Canada and the Empire, they are welcome. But if that loyalty is lacking or halfâ€"hearted; this is no time for tolerâ€" ance or debate. $ ; hey are Canadians, British, first and foremost. rey my retain their love for the land ofâ€" their ‘origin and for the customs and traditions of that land, and still be loyal to their adopted country. Indeed, it is remafkable how closely the ideals of these people approximate to what British people feelâ€"to be particularly British ideals and beliefs. On the other hand, the subversive groups show their lme plainly enough when the cant with which they cloak their purposes is swept aside. The Advance has received from the UfKrainian Farmerâ€"Labour: Temple® Association a copy of a resolution passed at a concert meeting on Sunday last bemoaning the fact that they are thréatened with the closing of their hall in Timmins. Proâ€" test is made against the proposal of the mayor ot Timmins and others to shut down the hall at least for the duration of the war. "It is with grave concern that we view the many flagrant atâ€" tempts to stir up racial hatred in Northern Onâ€" tario," says the resolution. If there is any tendâ€" ency to racial hatred in this country these days, the onus rests squarely on the shoulders of the subversive efforts. â€" With the horribleâ€"examples of Norway, Belgium, France, and other countries in such recent view, and the treachery wrought to loyal people by these subversive elements, it is asking too much to expect that subversive eleâ€" ments in this land should not stir up contempt and dislike. It would be well if all recogmzed this fact: â€"that for the safety of the ‘people in this present war, where treachery and traitousm have been used so extensively as a part of the enemy campaign, there is no possible room for any but loyal people. Enemy agents in any guise, or under any banner, should be either shot, imâ€" prisoned or interned, according to the degree of their subversive efforts. In the name of common sense, of safety, of justice to the loyal, there is no other . possible attitude to take. The Ukrainianâ€" Labourâ€"Farmer Association, in its resolution preâ€" tends that it is: only concerned with the task of constributing to Canadian life all that is progresâ€" sive in Ukrainian culture. This is not the apparâ€" ent result of their work as it has appeared to thel general public. Instead, the public has had reaâ€" son to believe that under the cloak of effort for! the workingman and the farmer there has been deliberate attempt to foster class hatred, which is just as unworthy and injurious as racial hatred. In the whole resolution there is not a single sugâ€" gestion of loyalty to Canada and the Empire. Ifi the group is wholeheartedly loyal to Canada and the Empire in the same way that the Polish, thel Ukrainian Prosvita, the Canadianâ€"Italian, the loyal<+â€"Finnish and other worthy groups, then this should be made plain. If they do not have this loyalty then there is no place for them in this! country. This should be made plain. | I THE OUTLOOK BRIGHTENS Â¥AR 0 « U#v Tmited AMurrch mim a‘tor. During the war of 1914â€"1918 many countries suffered from an overâ€"supply of rain. Even‘ in this North Land, the rains seemed to be more frequent and of longer duration than customary. There were people who said the rains were due to effect on the clouds of the perpetual cannonading in Europe. There was a tendency, however, on the part of some to sneer at this rain theory as unscientific. . With war again in progress, the surplus rains once more appear. This time, though, at least one gentleman of scientific knowâ€" ledge and study is forward to support the theory that the tendency to rain has a direct connection with the war in Europe. Rev. A. J. Bruce, of Copper Cliff, who has won some fame as a weaâ€" ther forecaster, suggests that the terrific canâ€" nonading ‘and bombing in Europe which the madman of Naziland started ‘has set up such reâ€" percussions around the world that it has affected the elements in the upper regions and stimulated the unusually heavy precipitation. "This canâ€" nonading in Europe is the worst the world has ever seen," declares Rev. Mr. Bruce.> "The effect it has on the atmosphere above the battlefields is so terrific that it spreads around the world. The first result of such percussions is the release of moisture, thus the heavy rains we have been hayâ€" brought to Lamke for burial.
