Canada Press Club and Citizenship Day
On Saturday, May 19, the
Canada Press Club is tender-
ing a complimentary lunch-
eon to Hon. J. W. Pickersgill,
the Minister of Citizenship
and Immigration. This will
Provide an opportunity to the
Club to bring to the attention
of the Minister of Citizenship
the service which the Club
seeks to render in the build-
ing of sound citizenship in
Canada. It is appropriate at
this time to look in retrospect
at what has been accomp-
lished and glance at what
appear to be the duties falling
upon the editors of the
ethnic weeklies in the
wiediate future.
During the last war, the
Club emphasized the need of
keeping the cause of the
democratic nations of the
world before the readers of
these weeklies, particularly
ln the case of those who
reached people in whose
hearts there might have been
a conflict of loyalties. Be-
^°re and after the passing of
the Canadian Citizenship Act,
'vhich came into force on
January 1, 1947, the club

members gave special study
to the provisions of the Bill
and made suggestions which
the Minister, at that time,
Hon. Paul Martin, appreci-
ated very much. The last few
years the Club has turned its
attention to immigrants, or
newcomers as they are now
called.
The cold war in both its
ideological and economic
aspects is a challenge to the
free countries of the world
and has enormously increased
the responsibility of their
citizens in building and main-
taining the type of democratic
im* citizenship in which they be-
lieve. During these years of
fairly largg immigration, this
applies particularly to the
people of Canada and in a
special way to the editors of
ethnic weekly newspapers
who, in their editorials, can
reach many of the new-
comers in their own language.
Injurious propaganda has to
be met, as efforts will be
made and have been made by
groups in this country to
direct the thinking of the
newcomer into wrong chan-
nels. In some instances, the
newcomers may have totali-
tarian leanings and may at-
tempt to impose their views
upon Canadians of the same
national origin.
In this struggle for the
loyalty of the newcomers and
for counteracting influences
inimical to the Canadian way
of life, the editors of the so-
called foreign weeklies are
playing a very important role
and their publications are de-
serving of general support.
This was forcibly drawn to
the attention of the House of
Commons in a speech deliv-
ered by Chrales E. Rea, the
new Member for the Spadina
constituency in Toronto. He
pointed out that there were 12
Communist foreign-language
newspapers in Ontario and
about the same number else-
er enn meginþorri dýranna á I where in Canada, with a com-
bined circulation of over
100,000. On the other hand,
there jvere 50 democratic
foreign-language newspapers
and magazines with a com-
bined circulation of over
1,000,000. “A' silent warfare”,
he is reported by the Canad-
ian Press to have said, “is in
progress between the two
groups of publications. The
Comumnist press is trying to
win the immigrants to its
ways and the democratic
publications are trying to
help them become good
Canadians”. Mr. Rea very
significantly went on to say,
“by placing advertisements in
the democratic foreign press
the government could assist
immigrants to know Canada
and accept the Canadian way
of life”.

It is called the Canadian Ethnic Press Club of Toronto. On April 25, the President, B. Tenhunen, who is editor of a tri-weekly Finnish newspaper called “Vapa Sana” (Free Press), wrote to Judge W. J. Lindal, President of the Canada Press Club, urging that discussions they had had some time ago be carried into effect and that an attempt be made to have representatives of the ethnic publications of Canada meet in Ottawa upon the invitation of Hon. J. W. Pickersgill with a view to iscussing ways and means of better co-ordinating the work of the democratic ethnic press. This suggestion is re- ceiving the full support of the Canada Press Club. The luncheon meeting for Mr. Pickersgill will be held in the St. Regis Hotel following which the Minister will spend a social hour with the editors and publishers. He leaves in the afternoon for Vancouver. At the last annual meeting of the Canada Press Club, the following officers were el- ected for the ensuing year: Hon. President: R. F.
