Wf haVP tin rfptnVp in nnnmr thnca nnnnlu iirtir nl,,, i The Letter Box AWAKENING PUBLIC OPINION Editor,. Daily News: One of the clearest evidences of the awakening of public opin ion against the menace of subversive movements so active in Canada and throughout the world at the present time Is given in the statement by I he Hon. JJrnest Lapoinle, Minister of Justice, in the House of Commons on March '30. In his statement the Minister of Justice clearly indicated that one of the bulwarks of modern civilization is the form of iuslice administered in the British Com monwealth of Nations and that sane administration of that lav Is one of the best antidotes of tht evils arisine from subversive propaganda. ILe stated further that the be.4 way to combat evil propaganda is to spread propaganda based on principles of truth and righteousness and he recommended a league should be formed by people who believe in peace, order and good government. He also said that outstanding representatives of the church, labor and industry should combine to preserve the religious heritage of Canada against atheism and communism and to pre serve our modern social nrdrr against the attacks of subversive influences. We are in comnlete svmnathv with the sentiments expressed by the Minister of Justice, and would point out that the Brilish-Jsrael- World Federation (Canada), with branches throughout the Dominion, is an institution which has been doing more than any other agency to promote the spread of such constructive nronairanda i he suggests. We go deeper into the m.itlpr than the Minister of Justice for. recognizing as he does the value of British institutions based on proper administration of British law and order, we state unenuivn. cally- that the only means by which the stability of our mod ern Social Older can lie aH.iinr.r1 and the evils so prevalent among us le eliminated, is by a return to the application and adminfslr.i- tion of the Divine Law.

There are, doubtless fasciRm and communiwn manv many who who hclieve believe this this nnrl and who whn nhio.f ohiect fn tn the.rpnphi faoi,; Jil ,ia,)I.e to meet defeat before it the theory of evolution and other modernistic ideas. Old Paul Kruger, doubtless, believed he was right when he steadfastly affirmed his belief that the world was flat and that any other teaching was modernistic, subversive and contrary to the scriptures. We have no objection to anybody believing these things or even believing that the moon is made of green cheese but we object to having these ideas thrust upon us in the name of God and humanity. If we are to have a sane democracy we must be ready and willing to allow every person to exercise his own freedom in the matter of religious or scientific beliefs, We are thankful for the British Empire because in it we are allowed this freedom of thought and a right to keep pace with the findings of scientific students. Anything which suggests that the human mind should be bounded between the covers of one book or that the only wise and inspired men were those who lived f rom two to four thousand years ago should be frowned down upon in a free country. Anyone who believes this should have perfect freedom to do so but those who think otherwise should also be given freedom of thought and expression without being branded as atheists or fomenters of subversive movements. Doubtless, the minister of justice is a good Catholic and pel eves in the ministrations of that church to help him in his work in behalf of humanity. Because some others believe in other doctrines or movements does not detract from their worth. All have their place, even Mr. Springett, but we do not like to be the means of over-emphasizing any one doctrine without pointing out that there are others, just as likely to be true and effective. Many very good people will be glad to hear of a spiritual awakening in the country but that does not mean that they will revert to the mental processes of the middle ages. The religious heritage of the present day is one of advancment, not retrogression. We do not believe that this age is it bad one or that the efforts to secure better living conditions are inspired by the Devil . We do not even believe that Communists, Atheists, Russians, Social- etc rf mmn flin mnmlmun Vi "( I Tf i 1 : starts for the simple reason that a great many members of the very institutions to which he appeals no longer believe in the Divine Law and its application and, as a matter of fact, are largely responsible for the spread of atheism as a result of tho teaching of evolution and of modernistic doctrines with regard Ic the Hible, which is the Word of (rod written.
