'Boycott Poses Anti-Trust Questions'

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
U.S. Attorney General Ed-
ward H. Levi sees "serious
anti-trust questions" in re-
lation to aspects of the Arab
boycott, but feels his au-
thority "may be limited" in
the area of religious dis-
crimination. The Depart-
ment of Justice, Levi said in
a letter to Rep._ Elizabeth
Holtzman (D-N.Y.) that she
made public, currently has
reports of the boycott's
"economic activities" under
investigation.
Ms. Holtzman, Rep. Sid-
ney Yates (D-Ill.) and 136
other members of Congress
asked the Justice Depart-
ment to determine whether
federal anti trust and civil
rights laws had been vio-
lated by Arab-inspired dis-
crimination against Jews.
Among the reported viola-
tions is the practice of some
American firms to agree
with Arab demands not to
do business with companies
identified as trading with
Israel.

The Civil Rights Act
prohibits discrimination in
employment on account of
race, color, religion, sex or
national origin. Under this
statute, the Justice De-
partment has authority
only with respect to state
and local governments.
Alleged discrimination in
federal employment is the
responsibility of each indi-
vidual agency, Levi wrote.

In a brief statement ac-
companying her release of
the Levi letter, Rep. Holtz-
man said: "I am pleased to
learn that the Justice De-
partment is investigating
reports of Arab boycotts
against businesses that are
owned by or employ Jews,
or that trade with Israel. I
am hopeful that the investi-
gation will be expeditious
and thorough, and that any
violations of law will be
speedily prosecuted."
Meanwhile, a bipartisan
group of six senators has
asked the Senate to estab-
lish means to require
"significant foreign inves-
tors" in the United States to
report their investments to
the U.S. government and to
monitor the flow of foreign
investment into America.
Sen. Daniel K. Inouye (D-
Hawaii) declared in intro-
ducing the bill that "We
know remarkably little
about foreign investment in
the United States" and that
"we need well-funded gov-
ernment supported analyses
and oversight on a continu-
ing basis."

The new monitoring
agency under the legisla-
tion would be called the
Foreign Investment Ad-
ministration within the
Department of Commerce,
with new data collection
and enforcement author-
ity.

Department of Justice no
longer has authority to
bring lawsuits concerning
the discriminatory practices
of private employers.

In Toronto, an amend-
ment to the Canadian Bill of
Rights which would prevent
foreign agencies from using
discrimination as a basis for
investing in Canada has
been introduced in the Can-
adian Parliament by Robert
Kaplan, Liberal MP for a
Toronto Riding. It is a pri-
vate member's bill which
Kaplan says is needed in
view of the international
efforts being made by Arab
govefnments and agencies
to blacklist Jewish business
interests.

The Kaplan amendment
stipulates that a contract is
not binding on any person in
Canada if any party to the
contract makes it a condi-
tion of performance that
"some other party . . . re-
frain from having commer-
cial relations with any per-
son or- persons, whether
within Canada or not, on the
basis of race, national ori-
gin, color, religion or sex."

In Paris, French Pre-
mier Jacques Chirac de-
nounced economic embar-
goes and boycotts based o
racial or religious consid-
erations as "contrary to
our tradition and our idea
of democracy."

Chirac, who was referring
to the Arab boycott of Jew-
ish-owned banks in France,
made his views known in a
letter to Jean Rosenthal,
president of the Representa-
tive Council of French Jews
(CRIF). The premier said in
his letter that the govern-
ment has "thoroughly stud-
ied" the reports dealing
with the Arab boycott and
wanted "to assure you that
racial, religious and ethnic
considerations in economic
and social relations are con-
trary to France's tradi-
tions."

CRIF circles welcomed
the letter recalling that
Chirac's official reaction
(Feb. 13, 1975) was to say
that the matter "should be
settled between the various
banks" and that the French
government "has no role to
play in this matter." It was
a result of this statement
that Rosenthal had written
Chirac asking him to clearly
state his position.

In spite of these prom-
ises the French govern-
ment has not yet taken any
concrete measures to try
and prevent the Arab
banks from imposing reli-
gious discriminatory mea-
sures in their economic
transactions.

Jewish financial sources
say that no special legisla-
tion dealing with this issue
has been prepared and that
no plans about such legisla-
tion are known. These
sources say they believe the
government has privately
asked the Arab states to
"tone down" their boycott in
view of the close Franco-
Arab ties.
