If the movement met with success it was the intention to run candidates for Parliament. Chances For Fascism ! Mr. Macnlcol then asked what! chance had Fascism to make headway in Canada. He claimed there were a number of chances. The movement was considered more respectable than Communism for the discontented. Money for its dampaigns could ' be more easily collected and It was particularly attractive to the unemployed white collar group which would never be ' temDted to fall for Communism. Also there were people people in in iuu country from countries which were ( accustomed to regimentation. From dictator countries there were near- ly 700,000 in Canada woay. An additional cause for political unrest in Canada was the belief that the political parties, lrrespec- tlve of party stripe, had failed to solve Canada's problems, especial. ly the unemployment problem. The , younger people having Jailed to ; obtain what they considered were . their rightful positions In Indus- trial life viewed with impatience the efforts of the older men In power and were ready to lend a ; thoughtful ear to Fascist propa-1 ganda.
