Chilean Jews who see no future for themselves in that country under the Marxist regime of President Allende, are settling in Canada. The trickle is small but steady. According to a report here today, about 20 Jewish families ### Chile have settled in Toronto, most of them since Allendo’s election. The local B’nai B’rith, through its president Harry Pachter, has been aiding the new arrivals in getting settled in Canada. The emigrants stress that there has been no political or religious repression in Chile nor any signs of anti-Semitism, but they nevertheless felt insecure under the new regime. The new arrivals include a professor of pharmacology, an electronics engineer and businessmen.
