The article focuses on the Mennonite problem in Canada. The sect of Mennonites may be familiar to few people east of the Mississippi but on the Western prairies of the U.S. and Canada it is as well known as are the Mormons. Its founder was a certain Menno Simons, who collected a band of followers in Holland in the sixteenth century, and won their allegiance to tenets roughly resembling those of the Quaker creed. The sect overflowed the boundaries of the Netherlands and in the seventeenth century its members were numerous in Germany, being seventy thousands in Moravia alone.
