Of Rights for Canada
A Bill of Rights for Canada is
a step closer following debate in
the House of Commons on
March 24, which included a
brilliant address by David A.
Croll, representative of Toronto.
"We are now presented with
an opportunity to act in a way
that future generations will say
that, when Canada first as-
sumed complete control of her
destiny, almost her first act was
to affirm as the basic principle I

Weeks of meetings, telephoning and hard work have gone into
preparations for Sunday—the one-day drive of the Junior Divi-

of the causes included in the 1952 Allied Jewish Campaign, were

of her nationhood the human
rights and freedoms of all her
citizens," Croll said.
He proposed a bill of rights,
similar in scope to the one ex-
istent in this country, based on
freedom within the law. His bill
would embody individual free-
dom ' so long as it doet not
trangsress the substantive law
of the land," and would allow
"public authorities to do only
those things which are author-
ized by common law and stat-
ute."

Refreshments will be waiting

Area chairmen Mildred Fox,
Harriett Ruth Migdol and Mich-
ael Stacey remind their workers
to note the following instruc-
tions :
1. Solicit every assigned pros-
pect on Sunday, April 6.
2. Know the pitch in this
year's Campaign — tell your
prospects about our Plus Cam-
paign.
3. Play the lead-off position—
start out early.
The second factor, the spokes-
man said, was the good will
shown by the German delegation
in their evident desire to keep
things moving. "We set the pace
but the Germans kept up with
us and made no move which
would in any way tend to hold
up or delay the talk4," the Is-
raeli spokesman commented.
Prior to their departure for
Bonn, the German representa-
tives met with the delegation of
the Conference on Jewish Ma-
terial Claims Against Germany
in a plenary session which re-
viewed the report of the joint
sub committee.
"We know exactly where we
stand no w," a conference
spokesman explained. "We have
outlined our points of agreement
and disagreement and clarified
our claims. The first stage of our
discussions is §.1so finished and
we must now await the return
of the Germans from Bonn."
The' conference delegation
made it clear that it not
making claims in behalf of citi-
zens of countries which are
party to reparations agreements
made with Germany in 1945.
"In France for instance," a
spokesman explained, "we can-
not presume to speak for those
Jews who are French citizens as
they are covered by their go•-
ernment. The large number of
Jews in France who are not
French citizens however will be
benefited by the new or im-
proved legislation that may be
brought about as a result of
these discussions."
THE HAGUE, (JTA)—Prof.
Franz Boehm, head of the West
German delegation at the Ger-
man-Israeli - Jewish reparations
talks here, told the JTA he had
"great hopes for the outcome of
these discussions," and stressed
Germanys "sincere desire" to
make indemnification to the
Jews.
"I look forward to an agree-
ment between us on the extent
and amount of the indemnifica-
tion and thus to convince the
Jews of Israel and the rest of
the world of the sincere desire
of Germany to make amends,"
Prof. Boehm said.
He added that if he were not
"firmly convinced" of the sin-
cere desire of the West German
government to make amends
for the wrongs suffered by the
Jews under the Nazi regime, he
would never have accepted his
post as head of the delegation.
I accepted this post only as
part of my life-long battle
against anti - Semitism," he
stressed. For this reason, Prof.
Boehm pointed out, "I felt that
one who feels as I do has no
right to turn down an opportun-
ity to serve such a righteous
c-a use."
Asked by the JTA correspond-
ent how many Germans spoke
as he did, he said: - It would be
foolish of me to reply that the
great_ mass of the German peo-
ple i .. enthusiastically with me
and the government. There is a
general feeling that something
should be done—the Germans
have_ been so pre-occupied with
other matters that this feeling
has taken no concrete form."
However, he expressed the opin-
ion that there is a nucleus of
people in every German com-
munity which is "definitely and
wholeheartedly" behind this
project and that their number
is growing. "I look forward to
the day when the majority of
the Germans will be lined up be-
hind us," he said.
tiations, but that "indemnifi-
cation" be used instead. "We
can never make reparation for
what was done to the Jews—
we can only indemnify." he
declared.
Moses A. Leavitt. head of the
Conference delegation. said his
delegation takes the position
that Germany must be willing to
make sacrifices to meet in full
the Jewish claims for restitution
and indemnification.

announced that he intends to
leave for Europe and the United
States to alert public opinion
there against the Israeli-Ger-
man compensation talks which
are now taking place at The
Hague.
Mr. Beigin said he is certain
that the talks will fail. He said
that all German goods that are
brought to Israel will be des-
troyed by those who oppose any
contact with Germany. At the
same time, he warned that if the
pro-Government Mapai Party
takes to itself the-right to cre-
ate "a private army" in Israel to

tions, other parties - will estab-
lish private armies as well."
