for them to sit behind a desk and

The Jewish people is in need of

it will be the main task of the

lists' to bring them together and
enable them to flourish."

The Canadian Jewish Con-
gress recalled submission to the
Government in 1953 of a pro-
posal to strengthen the Crim-
inal Code to include provisions
against the spread of false news
and to strengthen the code's
articles on sedition. The delega-
tion reiterated that proposal in
its talks with Minister Fulton.
The delegation also urged
that consideration be given to
adequate protection against the
use of the mails for disseminat-
ing such material and against
importation of Fascist and Nazi
propaganda. T h e delegation
made it clear that it did not
believe Canada was faced with
a crisis of Fascist propaganda,
noting that the Canadian Jew-
ish Congress was "aware of the
almost overwhelming condem-
nation of the Nazi symptoms
by the total population of
Canada."
