Assurances that the Argentine people condemn racial and religious prejudice, and that the Government at Buenos Aires has taken all steps to suppress anti-Semitism in that country, were given to the Canadian Jewish Congress today by the Argentine Ambassador to Canada, Gen. Angel E. Peluffo.
Gen. Peluffo voiced his assurances to Michael Garber, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, who presented to the envoy a protest from the Canadian Jewish Congress against” the recent anti-Jewish acts of violence in the Argentine Republic.” Expressing “shock” over the manifestations of “hatred and animosity” against Argentine Jews, the Congress called on the Argentine Government “for immediate police action and protection” against anti-Semitism.
(A resolution protesting vigorously against the recent anti-Semitic manifestations in Argentina was adopted and made public in Holland today by the Dutch Labor Party. Representatives of the party filed their protest, denouncing “anti-Semitic excesses,” with the Argentine Ambassador at The Hague, requesting that he send the protest on to his Government in Buenos Aires.)
