Canada Opens Its Gates to Fascist Immigrants
By PHINEAS J. BIRON
THE CANADIAN JEWISH community seems baffled
and stunned, trying—in vain—to understand why
the Canadian government is preparing to open the
gates of Canada to a mass-immigra-
tion of several hundred thousand po-
gramshicks from the Ukraine and as
many Volksdeutsche from other parts
- of Europe.
The attitude of the Canadian gov-
ernment towards immigration of vic-
tims of Nazism has, at all times, been
stingy, to speak mildly. It never reach-
ed mass proportions, Every applicant
was screened as to profession, back-
- ground, and had to produce miles of
documents . . . The former followers
of Hitler, however, most of whom

be admitted in the hundreds of thousands into Canada
and will be given free land and financial support.
Canada will have the dubious distinction of housing
the largest number of tested Nazi-fascists. A welcome
addition to the growing pro-fascist anti-Semitic groups

TO THE UNINITIATED the Canadian Social Credit
movement is a sespectable political party
In reality
however, it is an anti-Semitic outfit whose main function
consists of the publishing of a magazine under the mast-
head of "Social Credit."
Its editor is the 31 year old Ron Gostick, who natur-
ally denies that he is an anti-Semite. He explains his
hate-peddling activities as patriotic duty to his country.
But if you happen to read Ron Gostick's "patriotic" edi-
torials in his magazine you will realize that Gostick
qualifies as Canada's Streicher or, if you prefer, as Can-
ada's Merwin K. Hart.
For instance, commenting on the victory of the lib-
eral party in the general elections last June, Gostick
merely says: "It was a victory for political Zionism and
its policy of aggression and slaughter." This, according
to Canada's Streicher is the result of the party being
advised by Socialists and Jews. As you can see, Canadian
Jewry has the same kind of headaches we have here.

JABOTINSKY MEMORIAL DAY was observed most
solemnly in Israel on July 14. Party lines were forgotten
in paying national tribute to the late leader of the
Revisionist Party and the founder of the Jewish Self-
Defense Corps in Palestine.
It is rather s'gnificant that the founder of a party
which has not even one single representative in the
Knesseth, is so universally honored in the Jewish state.
The reason: he is regarded as the father of the Haganah.
France is rediscovering the greatness of Enrico Gli-
censtein, the Jewish sculptor who, some years ago, was
killed by a racing truck on the streets of New York .
Jean Cassou, curator in chief of the Museum of Modern
Arts in Paris has declared GI icenstein an equal of Rodin.
Did you know that the American Jewish Committee
is issuing a monthly Yiddish magazine digest for distri-
bution to the press in Latin America. The digest is mim-
eographed but quite intelligently edited.

THE ZIONIST ORGANIZATION of America has
issued Daniel Frisch's Zionist writing in an attractive
volume with a foreword by the present president of the
Z.O.A. and in introduction by Dr. Trude Weiss-Rosmarin
who also edited and selected Frisch's pieces with loving
care.
We have the highest regard for Trude Weiss-Ros-
marin's literary taste and judgment, but as much as we
tried, we failed to detect any literary talent in Daniel
Frisch's collected articles, or any original thinking in his
observations on Zionism and evaluation of several of
the Zionist world leaders . His failure to achieve lit-
erary distinction does not diminish the selfless contribu-
tion of Frisch as a molder of Zionist unity.
The ZOA performed a service in publishing Frisch's
writings. But why an attempt is being made to set up
a niche for Frisch as a great thinker and original man of
letters escapes us.
