J. Manion. national Conservative leader, said in addressing a meeting of 100 Conservatives here. “Hitlerism is international gangsterism, which must be wiped out,” Dr. Manion said. “And Canada mus-‘ play a full share. “If Germany wins this war, no country in the world will be secure or free. Canada would be one of the richest prizes in the world for a conqueror ” Even the United States would not remain free if Nazism triumphed. Dr. Manion told of a recent visit to the United States, in which he noted that the American sentiment was definitely pro-British and anti-Nazi. In a New York cinema he heard an audience cheer newsreel pictures of the British Navy.
