In Jerusalem, a district court found nine Jewish De- fense League members guilty of criminal violation of pri- vate limits and of conspiracy to damage two missionary institutions in the city last February. One of the de- fendants was acquitted. The nine were charged with illegal entry in a church on the Mount of Olives and a Christian book store, and with harassing its occupants. Following the disturbance, a fire occurred in the book store and many of the books were burned or damaged. But the court did not find any of the defendants guilty on a charge of arson because police could not identify any of them as directly respon- sible for the fire. The court will pronounce sentence in another session. An ornament looks beau- tiful only on a beautiful body.—Nedarim. By MICHAEL SOLOMON (Copyright 1973 JTA, Inc.) TORONTO — To attract Arab financial investment, Quebec has opened its doors to immigrants coming from the Middle East. At present over half of the Canadian Arab community resides in Montreal, writes Mark Me- dicoff in the Canadian Jew- ish News of Toronto. One highly placed source revealed that negotiations are taking place between the Quebec government and one Middle East government to invest in oil refineries in eastern Montreal. The two local groups - in Montreal are the Federation of Arab Canadian Societies and the Quebec-Palestine As- sociation, but other, smaller committees operate on the campuses, notably the Pale- stine Association of Montreal. Such groups as the Soli- darity with Indo-Chinese People, the Iranian Students Association of McGill Uni- versity and the Progressive Ethiopian Students' Front and other ineffective Maoist groups are closely aligned in spirit to the objectives of the federation. Rezeq Faraj, the profes- sional attached to the federa- tion and the Quebec-Palestine Association, claims that there are some 2,000 mem- bers in Montreal. "But only a few hundred are active," he points out. Faraj denies any connec- tion of the Quebec-Palestine Association with the Pal- estine Liberatioon Organiza- tion, although he admits that the association is in close contact with the PLO's re- search center. He is also editor of Fedayin, a monthly periodical initiated last March, which is published by the Quebec-Palestine Asso- ciatioon. In that organization he is president. The periodical is financeJ by the Montreal Council of the Confederation of Nation- al Trade Unions, where Michel Chartrand holds the office of president. Chart- rand has grown increasingly more sympathetic to the Arab cause in the Middle East, particularly after his visit last year. Dr. Baha Abu-Laban, a Palestinian-born academician who taught in the Near East and the U.S. before joining the University of Alberta in 1961, said some 80 to 100 families of Middle Eastern origin make their home in Alberta. The only active or- ganizations in Calgary in- clude the federation, the Arab Club of Calgary and the university's Arab Stu- dents' Association. In Ed- monton, activities are mainly initiated by the campus-bas- ed groups. Vancouver also has a large Arab community. One group, the British Columbia Muslim Association, which repre- sents about 2,500 Muslims, has recently pressed for the construction of a mosque on 49th Street in the city.

The pro-Palestinian move- ment has been growing dis- cernibly, and as well, the Canadian Arab population has risen to some 120,000 members. Some 40,000 Arabs make their home in Quebec. The federation's president is Jim Peters, a burly Ryer- son professor who was born in Scotland, but who exposes the cause with more zeal than any Arab national. He stresses "we must face up to the challenges •• of being an Arab." As a result of a $2,500 grant from the Ontario gov- ernment, a $7,000 grant from the federal government, and $500 in donations, Peters and his group have estab- lished a community center with the cooperation of the Cross and Crescent Associa- tion of Toronto and the Arab Palestine Association. N-Scientist, Emigre to Address ZOA NEW YORK — Dr. Zal- man M. Shapiro, American nuclear scientist, and Dr. Leonid Tarassuk, Russian Jewish scholar who waged an intense struggle to be allow- ed to emigrate to Israel, will address the 76th national convention of the Zionist Or- ganization of America Aug. 30-Sept. 2 in Houston. Isaac M. Oberman, chair- man of the ZOA convention committee, announced that Dr. Shapiro, an 'adviser to the Westinghouse Corp. on advanced nuclear systems, will speak on the energy crisis and its ramifications on United States foreign policy in the Middle East. Herman L. Weisman, presi- dent of the ZOA, will be key- note speaker at the Aug. 30 session. Dr. Tarassuk, former cur- ator of the department of European a n d American arms and armour in the world - famous Hermitage Museum in Leningrad, will address two Sept. 1 conven- tion sessions. Ambassador Jacob Bar- more, member of . the Israel Mission at the United Na- tions, will be guest speaker at a convention luncheon Another Vancouver ethnic association is the Lebanese- Canadian Society of British Columbia. The group or- ganizes picnics, golf tourna- ments, banquets and a Save the Children Fund. The Canadian Arab Friend- ship Association is headed by Elias Pharaon, and claims to act as a social, cultural, and service organization. Found- ed in 1968, it was designed to Aug. 31.. help newcomers adjust and settle in British Columbia.

Its publication is a bimonthly called the Source, and is printed in both Arabic and English. The paper has much the same anti-Zionist viewpoints as the Montreal- based Fedayin.
