Social Credit Leader M.J. Coldwell was on record today as advocating admission to Canada of refugees. In a speech before Parliament which was well received by a majority of the members present, he compared the refugee problem at the beginning of the century to the present situation and pointed out that Canada’s leaders at that time welcomed the refugees with open arms. He pleaded that the Government open the gates to both Jewish and Gentile refugees.
