The “Evening Citizen” in a recent issue says: “A deputation of prominent Jewish residents from various parts of the Dominion of Canada will wait on Premier Mackenzie King on Friday and urge upon him the necessity of appointing a Jew to the Senate. Thinking the time had arrived, in view of the increasing Jewish population in Canada, to have Jewish representation in the Senate, a meeting was held in Montreal Sunday of representative Jewish men from many organizations in Canada, and it was decided to see the Premier this week.
“The names of three men most prominently mentioned at the meeting were A. J. Freiman of Ottawa; Max Claven of Toronto and S. W. Jacobs, K.C., M.P., of Montreal.”
