There is another matter in connexion with the Soviets which has attracted a good deal of attention. That Russian and Polish children are being taught Bolshevistic doctrines here, including the undermining of the churches, and the worship of God, was the statement made recently by the Rev. Father Barton, a Roman Catholic priest, whose charges were supported by a priest of the Russian church. The former told of death threats having been made against those Russians and Poles who did not cease church attendance and failed to send their children to the Bolshevist schools. He also stated that a picture of the devil had been shown the children of those schools as representing God. Of course denials have been forthcoming; but Canadians are the more disposed to believe the charges made owing to the same having been made in Great Britain, where it is understood a Bill has been introduced into the House of Commons to stop such particularly devilish practices. That the Bolshevists are at work in Canada admits of no doubt, and these alleged schools are only counterparts of those in the Motherland. The Blshevists have been proved to be at work also in Canadian large centres, and in the lumber camps here, seeking to upset the established Government, and to introduce their doctrines and methods, This has been established by Government authorities, including _reports from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It can, however, be said that Canadians will not stand for this sort of thing, as the Bolshevists are finding out.
