Lee  You may know that we must look after sixty million refugees -- that is sixty times the population of Canada. [/strikethrough] These [/strikethrough] They have been driven from their homes by the inhuman aggressor who thinks nothing of tying those who resist him into bundles like faggots - pouring kerosine [kerosene] over them and burning them to death. Using our fathers for bayonet practice and raping our little sisters and mothers. 

How I wish you could see the wounded soldiers who must often walk more than a hundred miles to have their original dressings changed. And if you could see the walking dead who would sooner die on the road than on another peasant's field. You will understand why I make this appeal -- These poor boys would rather be choked [/strikethrough] to dea [/strikethrough] with dust in their last moments than die in a strangers field. Some one who has seen several wars has said that this is the greatest act of courtesy he has ever seen -- all our soldiers ask is a half filled stomach, and only one twelfth of a Canadian penny a day will feed a soldier properly -- but they do not beg. Of course we build them hospitals as best we can. And we put big red crosses on their roofs only to have them by "brave" Japanese airmen-- we rebuild on the ruins and put another big cross on the roo [[strikethrough]] m [[/strikethrough]] f-- again the [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/atrikethrough]] gallant enemy [[strikethrough]] [?][[/strikethrough]] comes over and shatters them. Today we need mobile units so we can go to our wounded-- so we can go to them and bring them the surgeons, the bandages, the nurses they need so badly.
