Canadian Jews Protest
Inaction On Ex-Nazis

Ottawa (JTA) — Delegations
representing the Canadian
Jewish Congress expressed
their "frustration" to Justice
Minister Ray Hnatyshyn over
the slow pace of justice for
Nazi war criminals found to
be living in Canada.
At the meeting last week
with Hnatyshyn, the CJC
pointed out that 16 months
have elapsed since the
Deschenes commission iden-
tified 20 suspected Nazi war
criminals in Canada, but so
far legal action has been
brought against only two of
them.
Those charged are Imre
Finta, an immigrant from
Hungary who has been
charged with manslaughter
for his role in the killing of
more than 8,600 Jews, and
Jacob Luitjens, a botany pro-
fessor at the University of
British Columbia, who faces
deportation proceedings for
concealing his membership in

the Dutch Nazi party when
he entered Canada.
The Deschenes commission,
headed by Quebec Superior
Court Judge Jules Deschenes,
spent more than a year in-
vestigating war criminals in
Canada. Its recommendations
were responsible for the
amendment to the criminal
code last year which allows
the trial in Canadian courts
of persons suspected of crimes
committed on foreign soil.
After the meeting, CJC
leaders said they were
satisfied that the justice
minister and the government
as a whole are committed to
bringing war criminals to
justice. But they do not want
to undertake prosecutions
that might fail and are taking
great pains to amass evidence
that will stand up in court.
This is necessarily a slow pro-
cess since much of the evi-
dence can be found only in
Eastern European countries.

Washington (JTA) — The
Reagan administration for-
mally notified Congress of
plans to sell $825 million in
arms to Saudi Arabia. The
announcement came after the
administration earlier said it
had indefinitely postponed
formal notification so that it
could confer with members of
Congress who oppose the sale.
The $825 million package
presented last week is $125
million less than the earlier
proposal. Both packages con-
tain $500 million in Bradley
Fighting Vehicles and TOW II
anti-tank missiles, but the
revised package reduces from
$450 million to $325 million
the amount of new support
equipment for AWACS recon-
naissance planes already
owned by Saudi Arabia.
Capitol Hill sources con-
curred that the motive of
members of Congress in op-
posing the sale is to bring
attention to Saudi Arabia's
attempt last month to conceal
its purchase of mediumrange
missiles from China. Those
missiles could hold nuclear
warheads, although Saudi
Arabia has assured the ad-
ministration that it will not
use the missiles for that
purpose.
Moreover, a State Depart-
ment source said that a Saudi
decision to sign the Nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty

should have an "ameliorating
effect" on congressional con-
cerns about new arms sales to
Saudi Arabia, in light of the
Chinese missile sale. By sign-
ing the 1968 treaty, which
limits the spread of nuclear
technology to non-nuclear na-
tions, the Saudis would be
pledging not to acquire or
develop nuclear weapons.

Canada Targets
Supremacists

Toronto (JTA) — The Cana-
dian Human Rights Commis-
sion, acting on a complaint
against the Alberta-based
Church of Jesus Christ
Christian-Aryan Nation, last
week referred the matter to
an independent tribunal with
full legal powers. The
tribunal will seek to put an
end to racist hate messages
that have been spread by tele-
phone in Alberta by the
group, which has also been ac-
tive in the United States.
The complete was lodged by
a professor at the University
of Calgary, who reported
taped telephone messages
that heaped hate on Jews,
blacks, Pakistanis and other
minorities in Canada.
Even though the taped mes-
sages have since stopped, they
can begin again, according to
Max Yalden, a member of the
Human Rights Commission.
