Communist technique in Canada

The international Communist conspiracy uses in Canada approximately the same techniques as in the United States. Its major immediate objective is paralysis of the nation's mind and will to make possible an acceptance of the absurd notion that "coexistence" is possible. This is being obtained with the co-operation of a very large part of the press and radio, both of which, like the universities, have been deeply infiltrated. How serious the situation is may be inferred from a single fact the Hon. Lester B. Pearson, leader of the Liberal Party and Foreign Minister of Canada from 1948 to 1957, proclaimed over the Canadian Broadcasting System that he would prefer to live under Khrushchev than die in an atomic war. It is not, perhaps, astonishing that Mr. Pearson, who tried to make an international incidence out of the death of E. Herbert Norman the Canadian Ambassador to Egypt whose Communist affiliations have been noted by the U.S. Internal Security subcommittee, should have such sentiments; what is alarming is that he could confess in public to such moral degradation without exciting universal disgust or even, so far as is known, impairing his position as leader of Canada's second largest political party.
