Anti-Jewish Bias Reported
in Canadian Teacher's Book
ST. JOHN, N.B. (JTA) —
A book by a Moncton, New
Brunswick, elementary
school teacher alleging a
conspiracy of Communists,
Jews and financiers to take
over the world and under-
mine free government, has
raised a storm of con-
troversy in that Canadian
town.
In the book, titled "The
Web of Deceit," the author,
Malcolm Ross, blames the
alleged conspiracy for ev-
erything from the Quebec
separatist movement to
"corrupting youth with var-
ious devices such as pornog-
raphy and rock music," the
Saint John Telegraph-
Journal reported.
Ross also denounces
Zionism as "an ideology es-
sentially anti-Christian"
and contends that the Jews
murdered by the Nazis
- should be counted in the
thouSands, not millions.
Dr. Noel Kinsella, head
of the New Brunswick
Commission of. Human
Rights, was quoted by the
Telegraph-Journal as
saying that after reading
the book which he de-
scribed as "nonsense," he
believed it was more im-
portant to protect the au-
thor's freedom of speech
than to try to suppress
the book because it might
cause discrimination.
Rabbi Stanley Greenberg
of Moncton told the
Telegraph-Journal that he
regards the book as clearly
anti-Jewish and Dr. Julius
Israeli, a Jewish professor
from Newcastle, N.B., is
seeking to have it examined
in court for possible viola-
tion of laws barring hate lit-
erature.
to
the
According
Telegraph-Journal, parents
of the sixth grade children
taught by Ross have not
-complained. Ross himself
was quoted as saying that
he thought the theories con-
tained in his book should be
tau htin the rovinces
schools, but that he would
not teach them unless the
people of New Brunswick
lobbied successfully to have
them included in the cur-
riculum.
The Conference of Presi-
dents of Major American
Jewish Organizations —
which gained much promi-
nence during recent weeks
through its discussions in
the White House and in
State Department of the
present U.S. government
policy vis-a-vis Israel — is
now planning to restruc-
ture.
The conference is com-
posed of presidents of 32 na-
tional Jewish religious and
secular organizations.
However, some important
national bodies — like the
American Jewish Commit-
tee, the Council of Jewish
Federations, the United
Jewish Appeal, the Joint
Distribution. Committee —
are not affiliated with it.
They merely send observers
to the meetings.
Leaders of the conference
are eager to have the full
affiliation of these agencies
exclude such a possibility.
The Presidents Con-
ference was originally es-
tablished by Dr. Nahum
Goldmann, when he lived
in New York, as a "Presi-
dents Club" to serve as a
nucleus for coordinated
American Jewish rep-
resentation before the
U.S. government on mat-
ters concerning
American-Israel rela-
tions.
For more than 10 years
the presidents of the Jewish
organizations of which the
conference was composed
represented only them-
selves and not their organi-
zations. In 1966, the confer-
ence voted to become a rep-
resentative body of organi-
zations rather than of presi-
dents of organizations.
It later expanded its scope
to include also activities on
behalf of Jews in the Soviet
Union. For a variety of
reasons, however, it was
compelled to cede jurisdic-
tion in this area to a newly-
created one-purpose agency
— the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry — whose 37
constituents included
members of the Presidents
Conference and other
groups. In representations

dents Conference and NCSJ
act jointly on matters affect-
ing Soviet Jewry.
Honest criticism is often
voiced by members of the
Presidents Conference —
never for publication — on
decisions in which Ameri-
can Jewish leaders feel that
their opinions should be
heard and considered.
Some American Jewish
leaders, deeply dedicated
to Israel, express the
opinion that the
"partnership" between
Israel and American
Jewry places a certain
responsibility upon
American Jewish leader-
ship to make their own
view known to the Is-
raelis, and thus have
some input into the
decision-making process
there.
One can hear members of
the Presidents Conference
stating that Jews in the Un-
ited States would like to be
more than a source of funds
for Israel, and that because
they are concerned with
every aspect of Israeli life —
including the political,
_economic, educational, so-
cial and religious aspects —
they also want to express
their opinions about the
moral quality of life in Is-
rael — about the lifestyle of
the Jews there and how that
style reflects the idealism of
the Jewish tradition.
