The truth has finally surfaced as to why Jan Bata was blacklisted during the Second world
War in Canada. It turns out that it was due to the efforts of one member of the Canadian government who was closely aligned with Thomas J. Bata. Glenn W. McPherson, an attorney, was the Canadian Enemy Property Custodian at the time and the person responsible for managing enemy property for the Canadian government.

He was examining the state of the world footwear market, the competition, the supply of key raw materials and worldwide economic conditions.

The Foreigners' Police said the priority in dealing with the 200 migrants at Breclav railway station, in the South Moravian region, was identifying them and trying to keep family members together. This, said a spokeswoman, was a difficult task when many had no documents and did not speak English; hence the numbers in felt-tip pen on their arms. But some are outraged.
