Le Devoir, local French-Canadian paper, carried a report yesterday, of an inflammatory anti-immigrant speech made by Arthur Sauve, Postmaster General in the Canadian Cabinet.
According to Le Devoir, the Minister declared: “The French-Canadians must now fight the new elements who came to this country as a result of the unfortunate immigration policy. These elements are mostly against us, against our religion and especially against our language. These people despise and hate us and will do their utmost to subdue us. Sharpen your weapons, the country may need you tomorrow,” the Postmaster General concluded.
