Jewish Representation in Canadian Israel's President
Parliament Will Remain Unchanged With ORT Visitors
Friday, . June 28, 1957
MONTREAL (JTA)—The Ca-
nadian national elections saw
no change in the Jewish rep-
resentation in the Dominion's
Parliament and left the situa-
tion unchanged as far as Ca-
nadian Jewry is concerned de-
spite the fact that the Liberal
Party which was turned Out of
power had been a notable friend
of Jews and Israel.
The one Jewish MP, Leon
Cresthol of Montreal was re-
elected. The lone Jewish Sen-
ator, David Croll, holds his
seat for life, unaffected by
elections. ,
The Liberal Party, repre-
sented by such men as. the late
Mackenzie King, Prime Minis-
ter Louis St. Lturent and Min-
ister for External Affairs Les-
ter B. PearsOn, played a posi-
tive role in the rehabilitation of
the remnants of European
Jewry and the establishment of
the State of Israel. On the do-
mestic scene. Liberal Govern-
ment policies resulted in the
virtual disappearance of anti-
Semitism on the national scene
and the enactment of anti-racial
legislation.
On the other hand, observers
note, historically every party
in Canada has at One time or
another sent a Jewish member
to Parliament and has demon-
strated in other ways its friend-
ship for Jews. At times, Con-
servative leaders have been
even more outspoken in this
sphere than Liberals, and have
also shown a sensitivity to Is-
rael's problems.
The one element in the new
party line-up which has given
cause for second thoughts is
the possible influence of the
Social Credit Party in the cur-
rent situation where neither of
the two major parties can rule
alone. For many years leaders
of the Social Credit movement
and of splinter groups on its
fringes have been among the
most outspoken anti-Semites in
public life: However, in Al-
berta, the only province under
a Social Credit administration,
there has been no anti-Semit-
ism and the party itself dis-
avows anti-Semitism. More re-
cently, leading members of the
movement have e-x pr essed
friendship for Israel.

Israeli Vessel Carries
Munitions for U.S Army
NEW YORK, (JTA)—United
States Navy authorities lifted
the veil of secrecy from the
"mystery ship" flying the Is-
raeli flag which this week-end
unloaded ammunition at the
Earle, N. J., Naval Ammunition
Depot.
It revealed that the ship was
the Israel motor vessel "Tap-
puz" and it carried ammunition
for the U. S. Army.
<The Asbury Park, N. J., Sun-
day Press reported that the
"Tappuz" brought to the United
States, Soviet munitions, cap-
tured from the Egyptians for
study by U. S. military experts.
The cargo bore the lowest mili-
tary se c u r i t y classification:
"confidential.")
The State Department said
that the United States buys
some ammunition in foreign
countries and that these pur-
chases are destined to help
countries keep up production.
The "Tappuz," a 500-ton ship,
left the New Jersey harbor for
Florida. She took on no cargo
at Earle.

which is meeting in Jerusalem
on July 11—to press for such
reforms to the end that "the
central activities of the Zion-
ist movement as a whole shall
be conducted on a non-partisan
basis and free of party consid-
erations."
The ZOA executive -council
also adopted a resolution re-
affirming its position with re-
spect to the proposed reorgan-
ization of the Americah Zion-
ist Council as the basis of ter-
ritorial federation in the United
States.
"We favor the gradual trans-
fer to the Council from the Jew-
ish Agency of those general
tasks and functions which prop-
erly lie in the province of Amer-
ican Zionism," the resolution
said.
"Taking nate of the continu-
ing negotiations among all
American Zionist bodies on this
question, in which the ZOA has
consistently upheld the integ-
rity of existing Zionist organ-
izations, we reassert our in-
sistence on adequate scope and
freedom of action for the legiti-
mate activities of these organ-
izations, so that their further
growth will be encouraged."

Times Publisher
States Non-Zionist
View in Interview
NEWARK, (JTA) — Arthur
Hays Sulzberger, publisher,
president and chairman of the
board of the New York Times,
wants the world to know that
he is a Jew of the non-Zionist
classification.
The publisher of one of the
world's most important news-
papers explained his position in
an interview with the Jewish
News of Newark, published as
one of the features of the tenth
anniversary edition of the New-
ark weekly.
Describing himself as "non-
observant," Sulzberger said he
maintained. membership in five
synagogues, _four in New York
and one in Chattanooga, site of
another Sulzberger paper, the
Chattanooga Times.
Commenting an those syna-
gogue memberships, the pub-
lisher remarked that when ma-
terial about him appears "in
Who's Who and similar pub-
lications, I want it clearly un-
derstood that I'm a Jew."
The publisher belongs to a
variety of clubs and societies
but the only Jewish one listed
in Who's Who, is the Friends of
the Touro Synagogue.
He told the Newark News
reporter that he had left a na-
tional Jewish organization,
which he did not identify, com-
menting that as publisher of
the Times, "I shouldn't get too
deeply involved in an activity
of that sort."
Mentioning that his father-in-
law, the late Adolph Ochs, was
strongly anti-Zionist, Sulzberger
described his position as non-
Zionist, rather than' anti-Zion-
ist.
He said he had opposed estab-
lishment of the State of Israel.
Now that it is in existence, his
attitude toward it "is the same
as my atitude toward Indonesia,
for instance. I wish it well but
I am completely without any
nationalistic fervor about it."
He said he was in consider-
able agreement wit* the stand
of his late father, Cyrpus Sulz-
berger "that if those who fought
for the establishment of the
State, starting back before the
first world war, had worked
with the same zeal and intensity
to permit Jews to live any place
in the world in peace and se-
curity, it would have been
better and wiser."
