Lord Marley, British authority on refugees, urged in an address last night that Canada permit the entry of a small number of Jewish refugees periodically. Such a policy, he declared, would present no economic problem. Every country, Lord Marley said, recognized that the refugee problem was a Christian as well as a Jewish one.
Following his address, the reorganized Ottawa branch of the Canadian National Committee for Victims of Political Persecution unanimously adopted a resolution urging loosening of the Canadian immigration laws to permit the admission of a greater number of refugees. Practically every woman’s organization in the capital was represented at the meeting, with Lady Tweedsmuir also attending.
