Editor Columbia Evening Missoufian: 1 read with much pleasure arM interest tour very kind and to-lhe point criticism of mt Ktnr. "I nder far adian Skies." Your flattewng acknowledgment of the merit.- of the Unik i- gt (tin and tcry much arprt ruled by a poor author. Permit m to expre-- snrr$ thank-. In the course of jour write-up, jf I am not mistaken in leading "between the lines," there appears some doubt as to the authenlicitj of on. of th statements in the story. You write: "The author insists that the book is not propiganda against the English, although one might think so from some of the scenes wherein the Englishman is not portrated in a very favorable light." Again. t'nder Canadian Skies gives us sugar-coaled history." In oth'r words the ":ol" hides what is beneath the surface. Allow me to call your attention to George Brjce's "rort llitorv of the Canadian People." L'nder the titles: "Papineau, Louis Jo-epL," and "Rebellion of 1837," as well as "Language of French-Canadians," tou may find corroborate evidence of what has been written in "Under Canadian Skies." If telling the truth is propaganda, then I plead gudtt. Once more thanking tou. Very truly )our, Joseph P. Chotiuet. 15 Alm street, Sajlesville, R. I. fmx &it ..ii UJ
