Monday night aftev®hearing an outstanding and ~ thought-provoking address by Rev. A, -J. Jackson 'who brought home in a 'striking. manner the evils of Com- munism, : A dynamic but sincere 'speaker, Rev. Jackson, who is rector of St. Hilda's Church,, Toronto, gave the Lions a g , first hand report of conditions behind (£ the Iron Curtain as result of a Euro-. pean trip last year. "We've got to sell in a positive way our way of life," said the speaker who termed Com- munism" the most insidious and dan- gerous philosophy of our day. "If we don't sell our. way of life to these European nations," Russia will." The speaker, who was introduced by Presidént Art Brunton, said that some of these European nations are envious and jealous of us who live 86 abund-~ antly and richly. "The world has-an obligation to them--even if it costs us something we must share and make full efforts to sell our way of life . . That is the only answer in these dif- . ficult days." Rev. Jackson said he found despair, disappointment and unhappiness writ- ten on the face of the people behind the Iron Curtain, After visiting the pretentious Majestic Hotel in Belgrade he discovered an. air of carelessness and untidiness. "I find the more and more you have of Socialism, approach- ing as it does into Communism, less and less you have of efficiency," he emphasized. . : & "I learned that in a totalitarian country that if you have an open mind you have 'to have a shut mouth," he declared. - "You get a feeling you can't do. anything you want to do, . . . I have never felt so mentally handi- © «capped as in Yugoslavia." He stres- sed the fact that one doesn't appre. ciate the, meaning of freedom, "Un- til you are robbed of all life can" you begin to appreciate fréedom." . He * said he was never so glad to get back to Munich, "I had sang the Doxology .--I saw all I wanted of a Communist country." =. HH The speaker said no country across the whole of the world is so blessed, so fortunate and so full of opportunity as Canada.
