Toronto (JTA) — Canada's Jus-
tice Department has moved to ex-
pel four men accused of Nazi war
crimes.
Few details were released
about the suspects.
All live in the Toronto area and
are alleged to have entered the
country by concealing their
wartime activities. Three are
Canadian citizens and have 30
days to decide whether they want
a denaturalization hearing or
want to leave the the country vol-
untarily.
The fourth man, a permanent
resident, faces a deportation hear-
ing before an immigration adju-
dicator.
Their names have not been re-
leased.
The Justice Department's war
crimes unit is believed to be cur-
rently investigating 12 alleged
Nazi war criminals. These four
suspects were charged first be-
cause their cases may determine
points of law that would be help-
ful in the other eight cases, a
Canadian official said.
The decision to lay civil rather
than criminal charges suggests
that the Justice Ministry now
views the 1987 war crimes
amendment to the Criminal Code
as unworkable. None of the four
cases previously pursued under
that law has resulted in a con-
viction.
The Supreme Court of Cana-
da is believed to have crippled
chances for a successful prosecu-
tion of war criminals when it
acted in March to uphold the ac-
quittal of Imre Finta, a Hungar-
ian police officer who sent 8,617
Jews to Auschwitz.
Under Canadian deportation
law, the suspects could be re-
turned to their country of birth,
a country where they hold
citizenship or the country from
which they entered Canada
The suspects could then face
criminal proceedings in those
countries.
Although not displeased with
the government's decision to pur-
sue the deportation route, Jew-
ish groups were angered that
other prosecutions against high
priority war crimes cases were
not launched due to what an Im-
migration Canada official called
limited "economic and human re-
sources."
The war crimes unit, which
will be cut to 11 staffmembers on
March 31 from its current 24, has
a three-year budget of $2.8 mil-
lion.
Canadian Jewish Congress
President Irving Abella said he
was struck "by disbelief' over the
decision to wait to see whether
convictions could be obtained be-
fore another four cases were
launched next year.

For some children, visions
of growing up may be
simply that. Visions.
Children with cystic fibrosis want to grow up. They
have dreams of the future just like every other child.
More than half of them will live into their twenties, but
that's when life should be beginning not ending.
You see, cystic fibrosis is an hereditary disease that
attacks a child's lungs and makes it very hard to breathe.
Eventually, it's fatal. And there is no cure. So far.
But there is hope. Recent discoveries in genetic
research can lead to stopping cystic fibrosis once and
forever.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation supports this research.
But we need your help. The money you give today will be
used immediately to continue the research. And it will go a
long way in helping find the cure.
Your gift of S 15, S25, or even more will give a child
more than just a vision of hope. Give the future... call
