Reeve Weber revealed that fann- ers in the township who had spent more than $3.000 at the sale, were "nipped" when an inspector for the Farm Loans Commission “appeared on the scene" and gathered up all the articles bought at the sale. All purchasers had paid cash. some losing as much as $300, he stated.

Auctioneer Must Clear Self Before County Council lt was claimed {hat nothing ex- reeded in cynicism Britain's attitude to the Roman Catholic Church. A variation or this appeal was a broadcast December 8 in which a violent attack was made on Britain's troathnt of Ireland from the days of Oliver Cromwell down to the pres- ent Prime Minister ot Northern Irty land. Viscount Craigavon. The main theme has been an at- tempt to prove that the war was started y Britain in the pursuit ot selfish ot,u.'/1t/et while France had been draggmt in unwillingly. .

On December 3 a Moscow broad- cast in French said "Canadian Bour- geois papers approve taxes on Ger- man workers in Canada while the Canadian Government refuses relief money to unemployed who dieshtr more ot" its present policy." A Moscow broadcast in Russian December 14 said Finns in Canada "warmly support the Finnish Peo. ple’s Government." again quoting the Vancouver Advocate. Tho same broadcast quoted the “COP. Workers Club ot British Co- lumbia" as protesting against cur- tailment of civil liberties in Canada and as declaring Finland "must not he used as an imperialist base." On December 16 a Moscow broad- cast gave alleged quotations from tl Vancouver weekly Communist news. paper called The Advocate, in which it was claimed Finns in Canada Wore agreed that Finland is “wanted as an imperialist base for an attack on the USSJR." The German broadcasts are obvi- ously aimed at persuading French Canadians that they should not take part in Canada‘s war exert. Russia is attempting to persuade the world Canada indorses the Red Army's in- vasion of Finland. Again on December 16 a Moscow broadcast in English included a de- claration ot the NJ.C.F.
