Within Canada there was no real danger. He urged calmness regarding alarming statements made at public meetings by people anxious to appear as important public figures. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police were watching the situation closely and the situation was well in hand. Referring to a report that Canadian Fascists were drilling and importing arms, Mr Lapointe stated that investigation had revealed loud boasting by the Black Shirts but they had no arms and few members.
