In a statement on béhalf of the sixteen upon their release, Buck declared: “Our release will make it pos- sible above all to strengthen the campaign for the second front. That is the crucial issue of the war, and the recent words of Jo- seph Stalin and Wendell Willkie must find an echo in the hearts of every Canadian. I and my comrades syill devote ourselves to this great task, knowing that the immediate opening of the second front is necessary for the security of Canada and for the cause of victory...-.- ‘We shall devote our efforts to strengthening the war effort of our country. The promise of greater war effort and fighting anti-fascist national unity is brighter than ever before; events are moving apace, and we are glad to be once again in the midst of these events, help- ing to-influence their course to- ward the aim of the Canadian peo- ple—the speedy annihilation of the Hitlerite enemy and the victory of the United Nations.” Telegrams from C.
