NEW YORK (JTA) —
The Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith and
the Business Roundtable,
an organization of lead-
ing. American business
executives, have agreed
"in principle" with the
need for a national law to
deal with the Arab
boycott's effect on Ameri-
can companies.
A joint statement list-
ing four principles for
such a law was sent Fri-
day by Burton M. Joseph,
ADL's national chair-
man, and Irving S. Sha-
piro, the Roundtable's
chairman, to President
Carter_, the secretaries of
state, treasury and com-
nrrce, and to members of
Congress dealing with
anti-boycott legislation.
The principles recom-
mended are: no American
may discriminate against
another American on the
basis of race, religion, sex,
ethnic or national origin
"in order to comply with,
further or support a
foreign boycott"; no one
may provide information
on an American's "race,
religion, sex, ethnic or na-
tional origin, or presence
or absence on a blacklist
for the use of a foreign
country, its nationals, or
residents in order to com-
ply with, further or sup-
port a foreign boycott."
Also, no American "may
refrain from doing busi-
ness with or in a foreign
country, or with its nation-
als or residents pursuant
to agreement with another
foreign country, its na-
tionals or residents in
order to comply with,
further or support a
foreign boycott; and no
American can refuse to do
business with another
American in compliance
with an agreement with a
foreign country or indi-
vidual in order to comply
with the boycott."
The two groups also
agreed that legislation
should not bar Americans
from complying• with
foreign regulations in-
cluding the listing of
documents stating coun-
try of origin of a product
as long as this does not in-
clude a statement "in .
negative, blacklisting_ or
similar exclusionary
terms."
Meanwhile, two private
research firms say that
companies can remove
their names from the
Arab boycott list by pay-
ing between $25,000
$40,000, provided their

contacts with Israel are
not too obvious.
The reports, published
by Business Interna-
tional and the Council of
Economic Priorities, - say
more than 175 companies
have disclosed question-
able payments of more
than $300 million over the
last six years.
Not all of these funds
were related to the Arab
boycott of Israel.
In Toronto, William
Davis, premier of Ontario,
told an Arab delegation
representing three - or-
ganizations that he will not
change his opposition to
the Arab boycott of Israel.
He made this state-
ment in response to a
joint brief submitted to
him by the Canadian
Arab Federation, the
Arab-Palestine Associa-
tion of Toronto and the
Arab Community Center
of Toronto. The brief
termed Davis' view- "un-
fair and even immoral."
The Arab brief said the
Canadian government
had no need to adopt a
policy on the Middle East,
particularly one that was
harmful to their cause.
"It seems to us that in a
multicultural, pluralistic
society such as we enjoy
... the least the parties
and legislators can do is
to maintain a strict and
hygienic neutrality," the
brief said.
Davis announced last
month after returning
from a trip to Israel that
the province of Ontario
would refuse to give gov-
ernment business or fi-
nancial support to com-
panies Which comply with
the boycott.

Michigan Boycott
Law Is Proposed
Seven Michigan Jewish
organizations have been
conducting meetings and
are coordinating with
State Sen. Daniel Cooper
and State Rep. Joseph
Forbes on a proposed
"Open Commerce and
Trade Act."
Representatives of the
Jewish Community Coun-
cil, American Jewish
Committee, American
Jewish Congress, Anti-
Defamation League of
Bnai Brith, Jewish Labor
Committee, Jewish War
Veterans and National
Council of Jewish Women
have met to draft propos-
als for legislation which
would prohibit discrimi-
nation in trade and com-
merce dealings based on
race, color, creed, relig-
ion, sex, national origin,
or foreign trade relation-
ships.
Such legislation, if
enacted, would outlaw
the discriminatory ef-
fects of the Arab boycott
in Michigan.

In an address to the
United Jewish Appeal
dinner held in his honor,
Davis declared: "The po-
sition of the govvnment
of Ontario on the question
of discriminatv
boycotts is clear; it is
commitment which re-
flects our belief in a world
devoid of economic
blackmail and manipula-
tion; it is a commitment of
which I am proud."
After meeting with the
Arab delegation, Davis
told reporters that the
boycott has had "secon-
dary and tertiary effects
on citizens of this pro-
vince."
The brief presented by
the six-member delega-
tion said that the Jewish
population in the pro-
vince is about 125,000
while there are only
30,000 Arabs and "we
cannot match our Jewish
fellow citizens in num-
bers, wealth, influence
and performance."
The brief also attacked
the province's Attorney
General Roy McMurtry
who "has seen fit to be-
come a card-carrying
Zionist" and "encourages
racism and hatred for us
Arabs."
Davis said the state-
-
ments about McMurtry
were "totally w•ong." He
added that the Attorney
General "has done more
and said more for the
rights of all ethnic and re-
li•ious minorities and. his
views on racism have
been publicly stated."
