TOPICS OF THE DAY
No Senseless Intolerance War brings with it its infamies and degradations, and our earnest prayer as a people must be that Canada’s record will not be marred by senseless intolerance towards innocent people, says the Winifred Free Press. Let there be no witch-hunting and persecution of any of us who bear non-Anglo-Saxon names. Let not the sins of one mad man be visited upon the children of German Canadians unto the third and fourth generation. The German Canadians of western Canada are, the vast majority of them, decent, peace-loving, law-abiding and loyal citizens of the land of their adoption. Let us show them by our example that a democratic people does not yield to race hatred. We are in this war in defence of the principle that no nation, however small, shall be forced to yield to threats of aggression or the use of force. It would ill befit us to mar our record by denying locally and individually the main principle for which we propose to fight.
