Physical Description
1 audio reel (1 hr., 3 min., 53 sec.) : polyester, 3 3/4 ips, 4 tracks, mono ; 1/4 in.
Scope and Content
Item consists of a talk given by John Beattie at the North Toronto Community Centre on 8 May 1969, moderated by Canadian National Socialist Party Chairman Martin Weiche. During the event, Beattie briefly talks about his speech at Allan Gardens on 5 May 1968 and reads his letter requesting the right to speak at the same location on 20 April 1969, when he was attacked by a member of the public. He claims that the National Socialist Party of Canada stands for National Socialism, not Adolf Hitler, and that the party has not been able to grow because he hasn't been allowed to speak in public. He also claims to support freedom of speech and states that being allowed to speak on this occasion has been the party's greatest victory since its founding in 1965. He goes on to briefly list some of the advantages for white non-Jews to be members of the party and predicts a rise in membership in the future. He also suggests that members and supporters buy pornographic materials and Israel bonds and set them on fire. He then claims to support the Arab cause in Israel, who, according to him, were robbed of their homeland by Jews, as Canadians have been, going on to affirm that the Ashkenazim enslave the Sephardim in Israel. He also warns about the dangers of Marxism, which he claims was promoted by the Jews, and claims that the Talmud is a piece of hate literature for its alleged view on non-Jews. He then claims that Jews are promoters of pornography and divorce, which they use as weapons to weaken the social fabric of white non-Jews, and promises that, if elected, he would deport all Jews. He also calls for the boycott of Jewish businesses and claims that the party has a list of sympathetic businesses to which to refer its members and supporters. He then announces his support to Latin American dictatorships for "executing their criminals" and claims that Canada has almost become a colony of Israel, as West Germany had. He also calls for the unity of white peoples around the world and describes the Swastika as a symbol of white unity. Finally, he describes what he believes to be the Jewish plan for world domination: to mix all races, which he claims is not natural, and produce "confused" mix-raced people, while Jews will remain pure and rule as an aristocratic elite.

Jack Cowan was a founder of the Canadian Jewish Outlook and former president of the United Jewish People's Order.
Scope and Content
Item is a copy of a letter sent to Monroe Abbey, QC, from Jack Cowan, the national president of the United Jewish People's Order (UJPO). In the letter, Cowan takes issue with an article that appeared in the Toronto Telegram on 6 May 1969, in which it was claimed UJPO "was expelled from the Canadian Jewish Congress in 1951 because it felt it was communist-oriented." The same article then went on to cite Benjamin Kayfetz to the effect that UJPO was "a communist front organization." Cowan offers his own description of UJPO, highlights its contributions to Israel, and makes the allegation that Kayfetz had "instructed" B'nai B'rith chapters and lodges to "refrain from meeting in our Toronto Centre."
