Up until now it has been deemed un- wise to give them so much as one meal a day, because it was felt that the university would be in the atti- tude of “subsidizing” the athletes.

Some of the boys have received $60 a month for winding the school gym clock, or opening the locker doors, but this is different, the schools say. If this action of the Big Ten heads is the first step in removing high-handed hypocrisy from school athletics, it should be applauded.

Lapointe pub- lish the result of his investigations into charges that Quebec fascist organizations were importing arms into that province, but thus far the government has been silent on its knowledge of subversive Nazi and fascist activities in Canada. interviewed here, Commissioner Stuart S. Wood of the RCMP, stated curtly, “I have nothing to Say on the subject,” when asked about reports that German emis- saries were busy trying to form a Nazi bloe in this country. Tim Buck, general secretary of the Communist party, testifying be- fore the Rowell Commission here on Wednesday said that Karl Ger- hard was active in recruiting Ger- man residents in Canada into the Wational Socialist (Nazi) party. Gerhard, he said, was the Canadian Wazi leader, with an office at 117 Keefer Building, Montreal, a room occupied by the German consul. The question arose during dis- cussion of fascist actiyities in Que- bec. Last week Rt. Hon. R. B. Ben- nett asked in the House of Com- mons about a@ man named Kay) Gerhard and his connection with the Nazi organization in this coun- try and was told by Secretary of State Rinfret that a man named Karl Rudolf Gerhard took out Ga- Madian naturalization papers on Wov. 17, 1937. in Montreal, Karl Rudolf Ger- hard, former instructor at the University. of Western Ontario, denied he was the man referred to, Hut, according to an expose pub- | lished some time ago in the now- defunct publication, New Frontier, Karl Gerhard, former instructor at the University of Western Ontario, is not only the Nazi agent through whose hands all applications to join the Nazi party must pass, but has also made at least one na- tional tour of Canada to set up sectional councils of the Deutscher- bund, Nazi organization. The Deutscherbund has its head- quarters in Montreal, publishes a newspaper, the Deutsche Zeitung in Winnipes and has branches in the principal Canadian cities, all under the watchful eyes of the German consuls. Karl Gerhard is closely associat- ed with Adrien Arcand, leader of the fascist National Social Chris- tian party in Quebec, investigation of whose activities has been made by the police. The report, however, is still unpublished. Areand, in turn, is closely linked with Premier Maurice Duplessis of Quebec, several of whose cabinet ministers, and five Quebec sena- tors, have been named as fascists. It is the view at Ottawa that, in face of such evidence, the govern- ment can no longer maintain Silence on this threat to Canadian democracy. It will be forced to act, particularly if Canadians make boos as he condemned the action of the men in occupying publig buildings.
