Internment of Eleven Canadian Fascists – Plot Against Safety of the State (Ottawa, June 21)
Eleven members of the National Unity Party have been interned because they had been in communication with enemies in Germany, Italy and elsewhere, the Minister of Justice, Mr. Lapointe, told the House of Commons to-day. The eleven include men who were arrested and who appeared for a preliminary hearing at Montreal on Wednesday.
Mr. Lapointe said that the Judge, after hearing the evidence, decided that there was a plot against the safety of the State.
The interned men also include Adrien Arcand, the “Canadian Fuhrer.” Canadian Fascists planned to take over Canada “some time in 1940,” according to documents seized in recent police raids and introduced at the hearing of charges against Adrien Arcand and ten others at Montreal on Wednesday.
According to one of the seized documents, the National Unity Party would have a “trained, uniformed army of 70,000 men in Canada if its ambitions were realised.” — Reuter.
