But if you can’t— thert, by God, for our own peace and safety, we must lend a hand.CHRISTIANITY ATTACKED‘‘The sober-minded people of America are gradually coming to realize that one of the chief objectives of the Nazi-Communist alliance is the destruction of the Christian religion. Hitler and Stalin have shown by their words and even more by their deeds th«t they have determined on a second crucifixion which; with Prussian thoroughness, will be so complete that there will be no danger to them of another resurrection.“Despite the scribbling of our literary scoffers, we Americans are a religious people and, by and large, a Christian nation. Creeds and dogmas mean less than they once did, but Christian principles are the basis of the faith by which we live. The prayers and hymns and precepts of Christianity are part of our daily living. The unclean spirit of Nazi-Communism asks Jesus of Nazareth, ‘What have I to do with thee?” Nothing —nothing at all. But most of us have something to do with Him. Many of dyr religious' leaders have already awakened to thenon 01 me war;.Vice-President: Thomas Rose Secretary: J. Kean Treasurer: J. P. Lynch * Marshal: James Ezekiel Door Guard: George Wheeler Executive Committee: H. Terry, P. Hickey, H. Phillips.American labor will go down in common ruin. It took the Russo-German alliance, the partition of Poland and the invasion-of Finland and Scandinavia to drive home to many of our hard-headed business mei\ and to our idealistic liberals that the objectives and the methods of Nazi Germany and Bolshevist Russia are practically identical. Those objectives include the destruction of what Hitler calls the ‘pluo-democracies.’ The Nazi leaders have recently used the very words of their Soviet ally and are trying to delude and ensnare our labor gnups with the old cry, ‘worked of the world, unite!*“We know their methods. And we know, too, Hitler’s betrayal of business and Stalin’s betrayal of labour. I think that as this war goes on, both American business men and American labour leaders will realize that if Nazi-Communism dominates the rest of the world, the subtersive forces within America will be vastly strengthened and our present economiciwenxy-nve years ago today, at the second battle of Ypres, Canada gave renewed and glor- * ious proof of the fighting qualities of a democracy at war. It is fitting and proper that you should take a just and solemn pride in what you did then, Canadians should also be proud that it was a Canadian, a graduate of Toronto University, who wrote the greatest poem of that war. Indeed, it was more than a poem—it was a mess^ . age to each and every one of us, ' the fathers, brothers, sons and friends of those who did not fear to die for God and country—arvi for us, the living.Take up your quarrel with the foe!To you from failing hands we throwThe torch: Be yours to hold it high!If ye break faith* with us who die,We shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields. *“Well—Canada’s conscience is clean. You are keeping faith.“My final word to you today— and no matter what happens, don’t forget it—my final word is simply this: In our own time and in our own way we, the people of the United States of America— your neighbors and your friends—we also will keep the faith/*
