minister and a leading member of
the opposition Liberal Party in the
Quebec Parliament both exhorted
the Province's Jews to show a
more active interest in the Prov-
ince's French language and cul-
tural life.
Some 5,000 Jews of the Montreal
area attended a ground-breaking
ceremony for the new Beth Israel
synagogue here and heard Jean-
Pierre Coty, the Minister of Rev-
enue, say, "it is absolutely neces-
sary for you and your families to
become proficient in the French
language. It is your duty to take
an active part in Quebec society."
Claude Wagner, candidate for
the Liberal Party's leadership and
a former Provincial Justice Minis-
ter, admonished the Jewish com-
munity to abandon its attachment
to the English language and Eng-
ligh-language education and to
send its children to French schools.
"Otherwise, it is a delusion to hope
that the French-speaking majority
will agree to respect your rights,"
he said. Most of the province's
