In other, words. Churchill had made possible laudatory remarks about Russia's successful forces. i In any event, continued the; Premier, he had not attacked'; Russia's gallant and brave soldiers during his Legislature address. He' had assailed Communist agitators in Canada. MacLeod had accused him of "quoting from Osborne- Dempster." Actually, he said, the words attributed to Tim Buck about the objectives of the Cana- dian Communists had come from the late Sir William Mulock's judgment, an official part of the evidence presented in court against Buck and not denied-a statement which Buck had made in Moscow in 1930. Labor Progressive Leader Mac. Leod. he continued. had assailed him for "some statement attributed to me about the myth of Russian might." Previously in the Legis tature he had not discussed the Russian people. and has spoken only of the efforts of Communist agita- tors icennada. However, now it was raised. In the fall of 1039, he had discussed Russian might.

The Communist Tribune, said the premier, now reported a Fascist party arising in Italy and said British troops protected its meet. ings. No people in the world, he :said. hated fascism more than the tBntish. No person was more will- ?ing to support them in this hatred ithan he, and he would do his utmost to prevent its spread in Canada just as he would do his utmost to oppose Communism's spread. Earlier, he had asked the Gov. ernment to intervene in company towns such as Smoothrock Falls in his riding where no one could own a house, operate a store or do any kind of business without consent of the Abitibi Power and Paper Co.

"Those men are sincere," he said, again levelling a finger at the Labor Progressives. "They're sincere and vigorous in their opposition to everything the rest of you hold dear. They don't want democracy and its teaching of religious con- cepts. They demonstrated that last year when they opposed religious teaching in our schools." "We may not agree on many things in this house, but one thing we must reach agreement on is whether we are going to tolerate a false, devilish, lying philosophy and ideology," said Mr, Habel.
