Canadian Jewry is moved to its depths by the reports of the occurrences in Germany. From all parts of the country, the Jewish centers in Montreal and Ontario have received appeals urging the organization of protest demonstrations against Hitlerism.
The first organized effort to bring conditions in Germany to the notice of public opinion was taken yesterday under the auspices of the Jewish National Workers Alliance which decided to call a mass conference of all Jewish bodies next Sunday in order to arrange an impressive demonstration against Hitlerism. A telegram has been sent to the American Jewish Congress expressing the solidarity of Canadian Jewry with the action taken by their American coreligionists.
In the province of Ontario, April 2nd has been fixed as a day of protest against Hitlerism, according to the decision of the Central Actions Committee in Toronto. The Actions Committee, which has in charge all the protest arrangements, is also contemplating the proclamation of the boycott on all German goods.
The main demonstration in Ontario province, to be held in Toronto, will be addressed by the Prime Minister of the Province, the Mayor of the city, and other prominent speakers.
The Actions Committee has decided to work in close cooperation with the American Jewish Congress in order to ensure that the demonstrations throughout North America will be of imposing a character as possible.
