(Ail Work Guaranteed) 4 At the firat meeting of fthe Bow-1 manville Men's Canadian Club forà the 1947-1948 season, held in thet banquet room af the Balmorali .Hoteli Wednesday evening, Dec.t 10, the members heard one of the most striking and poweriul ad- dresses in club hlsta ry. 1%e spea- ker, Maxime P., Littner deait mainly with the system ai espion. age employed by predatory dic- tatamships ta win totalitamian paw-. er over the democracies and sub- jugate the masses in thue warld. He spoke framn a background afi personal expeiences and warncd Canadians ta wake up ta the dgn- ger af a. fifflu calumnn sceking ta establish universal Communism. The Speaker Mr. Littner is a iighting Irish- man, said Col. Lamne T. McLaugh- lin, in his introduction. Enlisting in the first world war at the age cf 16, he came back irom that con- flict for a speil of. scapping as, a professional wrestler before cnt- eing the insurance business. He is now banch Vice President, Great-West Lufe Assurance Ca. and is lacated at Lindsay. Enlist- ing in the late wan Sept. 3, 1939, he was commissîoned as Major and served throughout, in espion- age work with the Ihtelligence Staff. Enllstment Espionage during war was a far more dangerous game than espi- onage in peace accarding ta the amazing story told by Mr. Littnen. He told of the strict methods cm- played by Intelligence ta establish the bana fides of operatives cm- played by the British in the late war. In his case he was kept in close confinement on the boat which leit Canada Sept. 17, 1939, from which he was escarted dir- ectly ta the Headquarters in Lon- don ta be questianed secretly and repcatcdly before given an assign- ment in counten-espionage. Counter-Espianage With a knowlcdge of 17 languages and speaking German fluently, he was furnishedi facilitiés ta enter thxe continent through Gibraltar from whence he made his way thmough France and Beigium into Germany. His task was ta locate an Englishman, John Gray, a wealthy, highly educated, well connectedi individual then in Ger- many sclling ouf the British with sucix renegades as Lard Haw-Haw. Littner persuaded the Germans he was an cscaped Canadian soldier andi his fluency and persuasive- ness won him entre to a German espionage scixool. Caught and Hanged The plan was then developedi ta have Gray accompany Littner back ta England to act as liaison with the numerous German spies, stili undetected, who were send- ing remankable accounts, highly accurate, direct ta German. intell- igence. Spatting for Hun bomb- ers, telling af traap and shlp mavements, fthe spies in England had ta, be tracked down. Even news oi ships leaving Haifax and New Yark were toldi about by Raw-Haw the moment they left harbor. With cunning and ingenuity and long mantix. ai personal danger the trail led flnally to a, cave equ- ippedi with radio transmission where Gray and two others were taken and hanged. This counter intelligence went on untilmost of tixe ring leaders weme raunded, up but literally hundreds of British "lintellectùla" escaped death since they were niinom go-betweens f av- arable ta the German cause and mast of them were interned. Schooled In Sabotage Mr. Littner told much ai the bachground as ta how sabotage arase in Éritain. British citizens af foreign lineage, usually weal- tixy, still leaned ta fixe Fatherland and having cntered universitie,, came together In secret association ta %aclaim the superman doctrine. Even thxe second andi third genen- ations became ripe prospects and willing collabarators with foreign students. It became eaêy ta enlîsf them ta aid pofssibnal spies when wam broke. The speaker later explained haw fiis same espianage principle was extended among the masses and the labon front in aftracting convertg ta Russian Commuinism. taken came af by way of drinks andi entertainment. Pesided aven by wealthy British "intellectuals" allled with fthe German cause, fixe boys from overseas weme pl1i e d with drinks, andi then beiuddled and boastini, mucix information was extracfcd from tixcm unden the guise aif fiendship. S-inilar clubs were oganized fan the en- fetainment ai British tnoops. Fram all tixis if is nat difficult ta sec how news was transmitted that resulted in pin-paint bomb- ing of stratcgic places and ships werecunk far oufta c ea. If was a game af war well prepared for during ycans af peace /and fixe risks faken were well understood ta lead ta the firing squad or a length of ixemp. Thanks ta the Britishx Intelligence, ixundreds met that fate. Modern Fi! th Column Having projectedi this realistic pictume Mr. Littnem turned toaa srnashing exposition ai theý metix- ada oifixhe comrnunlst f ifth column wonking in fixe democracies. He told thxe story ai Fred Rose, M.P., now in prison, of Samu Carr and a score af others, ah trained in Mascow ta neturn home and sabo- tage fixein adopted country. He wanned that fixe spy triais hadn't cnded the gaine and suggested tixaf there was only one sure means ai combatting fixe menace. Suggestcd Solution We have amivedi back at fixe stage where a new race of super- men, more ruthless, penetrating than the other, are now threaten- ing aur ireedom. We need flot be pusixcd ta fixe point of drastic ne- pnisals if we ail do aur duty as citizens. Mr. Littner advocated as a solution fixe duty ai sfongly supparting aur gavernment ta back ail legifimate measures tak- en and. hold fast ta aur religion in deieating etheistic cammunism. Let us be frue Canadians, with unitedi strcngth and sec ta if fixaf we permit no wcak links lnafixe chain o! aur dcmocratic destiny. Rey. W. P.
