Bamanie said that the law, which was passed last • November, has already re- sulted in the Saudis tight- ening up on issuing entry visas to Canadian businessmen. He warned that this could be followed with Saudi Arabia refusing, to do any business with Canadian companies. The new law makes it an offense for companies in the Province of Ontario to com- ply with the Arab boycott of Israel, with high fines for the violators. Federal Trade Minister Jack Horner said Canada was losing•ralu- able sales in Saudi Arabia. He said, "That legislation is costing us trade, causing difficulty in the banking fraternity and goes much farther than the provincial authorities intended." REMEMBER HOW YOU LOVED CAMP?

Last year, Canada's exports to Saudi Arabia totaled $234 million while export-8-A° Israel were just $76 million. "This is your problem, not ours," Bamanie said in an interview published in the Toronto Globe and Mail. "We can go anywhere with our business and deal with responsible people of other countries. If you are going to say you cannot boycott this or that, then we can go any- where." He noted that Bell Canada had a large con- tract, along with two other international companies, to build a modern telephone system in Saudi Arabia. "We can give that business to two other countries and this is against your benefit," Bamanie said. Bell signed a $1.1 bil- lion five-year contract with the Saudi govern- ment in January 1977 to provide the technology for the project while the Swedish Ericcson Co. and the Dutch Phillips Co. supply the equip- ment. Defense Minister Barnett Danson, the only Jewish minister in the federal cabinet, said that he was surprised that the Saudis had singled out the Ontario legislature "when they have not reacted to the much longer standing anti- boycott legislation in the United States." He also said the federal bill would make it mandat- ory for. any Canadian com- pany asked to participate in the boycott to report the re- quest to the federal gov- ernment. Under existing law, a company need not report a boycott request unless the company requires federal assistance to ful- fill an overseas contract. Such assistance would be denied if the firni agrees to boycott Israel. The penalty for not re- porting a request for a boycott will be up to $250 a day fines in the pending legislation. Danson said the federal government was deter- mined to pursue its efforts to strengthen, existing fed- eral anti-boycott legisla- tion. He also said that the federal bill to be submitted soon to the House of Com- mons is nevertheless con- siderably weaker than the Ontario legislation, being one "with more substance and less bravado." Danson was understood to mean the proposed federal legislation would be less challenging to the boycott. -4 Bomb Blasts Wound Many in Treaty Signing Aftermath PARIS (JTA) — A power- ful bomb exploded Tuesday in a Jewish student's res- taurant wounding 26 people, three- of whom are described in a critical condi- tion. An organization de- scribing itself as "opposed to Zionist influence in France and the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty'? assumed re- sponsibility for the attack. The bomb exploded shortly after 12:30, but be- fore the rush hour started. There were only 40 people in the restaurant at the time of the attack. Half an hour later, more than 150 students normally crowd into the Latin Quarter Kosher Canteen. Minutes after the explo- sion, police units rushed to other Jewish communal centers in Paris evacuating them. More than 300 people were asked to leave Paris' main communal center "The Rashi" as they were about to start their meal. Other Jewish organizations were advised by the police to take special precautions as "additional ,attacks are possible." Buses with French riot police were also rushed to the Israeli Embassy, the Jewish Agency, El Al and other offices associ- ated with Israel. Police officials privately said that more attacks might be attempted in -coming days or hours. The PLO representative in France, Ibrahim Suss, said that his organization is not responsible for the at- tack. He said, "We shall wage our battle in the occu- pied territories and not in France." Suss said he is sending a message of condo- lences to the French chief rabbi to express his and the PLO's "sympathy and re- grets."' Suss also ruled out the possibility that ex- tremist Palestinian ele- ments carried out the attack saying this "seems to be the work of anti-Semitic local forces." Earlier Tuesday a shop owned by a Jewish family situated in the center of 1 Paris near the "Place De L'Opera" had its window broken. The owners David and Rosette Azoulay, them- selves immigrants from Egypt, said they weren't - 401 threatened. The attack took place at 4 a.m. when the 4 . business area is deserted. Police sources believe the attack might be linked with Monday's Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty as the shop, which specializes in tax-free ' 1 1 gifts for tourists, is reg- .0 ularly used by El Al crews and many Israeli tourists. Meanwhile, one woman was killed and 20 4 people injured when a bomb exploded Tuesday in a Lod vegetable mar- ket. The victims were rushed to nearby hospitals and police detained for question- ing a number of Arabs who were in the vicinity. 0
