Answer

Support for British war aims was what Egerton Ryerson Philipps sought to engender among Canada’s ethnic communities, especially Ukrainian Canadians, by establishing educational institutions and publishing pro-Allied periodicals in their native languages. These initiatives aimed to counter Austro-Hungarian and German propaganda and foster loyalty to the British Empire among these immigrant groups during the First World War.
