Forty-nine percent of the Canadian public favors the free settlement of Jews in Palestine, according to the results of a national survey conducted by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion.
In the survey the lead-off question was worded as follows: “As you know there has been trouble in Palestine between the Arabs and the Jewish people from Europe who wish to settle there. Do you think that Jewish people should be allowed to settle freely in Palestine; should only a limited number be allowed in; or do you think that no more Jewish people should be allowed to settle in Palestine?”
The answers were as follows: Settle freely 49%; limited number 20%; no more allowed 7% and undecided 24%. The more favorable replies came from the lower and middle income groups.
