MONTREAL,

(CP)
The
police
were
called
Sunday
to
restore
order
at
a
meeting
which
was
described
as
anti-communistic.
The
arrival
of
the
officers
put
a
stop
to
fighting
which
had
been
going
on
in
the
hall.
Nobody
was
injured.
The
police
said
the
fighting
started
when
some
one
yelled
"Are
Fascists
in
Canada
going
to
be
like
those
in
Spain
and
murder
innocent
women
and
children?"
In
Toronto
a
noisy
crowd
of
anti
-Fascist
demonstrators,
marching
from
Queen's
Park
to
the
Italian
consulate
in
defiance
a

order
against
parades,
was
routed
twice
by
the
