Jewish Canadian
MPs unaffected
> by recent election
Toronto (JTA) — The four
Jewish members of the Canadian
House of Commons survived last
week's landslide victory of the
Progressive Conservative Party
in Canada's general elections.
They
are: David Orlikow, of
. .
Winnipeg, a member of the New
Democratic Party; Robert Kaplan
of York Center, Toronto, Solicitor
, General in the outgoing Liberal
government; Herbert Gray, of
Windsor, Ont., who also held
Cabinet posts in the Liberal gov-
ernment; and David Berger, a
Liberal of Montreal Laurier.
There were no specifically
Jewish issues in the election
which ended more than two de-
cades of Liberal Party govern-
ment. The Canadian Jewish Con-
, gress had informed the candidates
of all parties of the issues of
Jewish concern such as Israel,
soviet Jewry, Jews in Arab lands,
anti-hate legislation and Nazi
war criminals living in Canada.
Brian Mulroney, leader of the
Progressive Conservatives who
will take office as Prime Minister
on Sept. 17, has expressed himself
strongly in favor of Israel and for
tougher measures against war
criminals. Associates of Mulroney
liave favored strengthening
anti-hate legislation.
1948 leaders
blamed for poor
Olympic showing
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The president
I of the Israel Olympic Committee
said last week that the blame for
the poor showing of Israeli
athletes at the 1984 Summer
, Games in Los Angeles can be
I traced to the policies set forth by
the Jewish state's first leaders in
1948.
"From the first day of operation,
our government showed little re-
gard for organizing a viable sports
entity which could compete with
the rest of the world," Isaac Ofek,
head of the Olympic body, said.
But perhaps such an accusation is
not altogether fair, Ofek said, not-
ing that "we were encumbered
with so many problems that there
was little time or money available
I. to get involved in producing
championship quality athletes."
Ofek added that he was glad
that Education Minister Zevulun
Hammer had asked Yaariv Oren,
the ministry's director of sports, to
set up a symposium to study the
situation and offer suggestions
' that could be implemented by Is-
) rael in time for the 1988 Olympic
Games in Seoul, South Korea.
