Adrien Arcand, leader of the fascist National Unity Party, issued a new book here today, entitled “Down With Hate.” The book purports to show that “the only real spreaders of hate are the Jews, because the moment you say one word against them, they brand you as anti-Semite.”
Speaking at a press conference, Arcand said that George Rockwell, fuehrer of the American Nazi Party was “just an agent provocateur, a venal agitator who, to my own knowledge, has received money from the Jews to promote trouble and gain sympathy for their cause.” Arcand was interned by the Canadian Government from 1940 to 1945 for his pro-fascist agitation.
