Oppose Arab Office in Australia

The president of the Jewish community here. Isi Leibler, stated that the plan to open an Arab information office in Canberra, the Australian capital, was “an open invitation to terror in our country.” Leibler was reacting to a report, circulated by Bill Hartley, a member of the Labor Party Federal Executive, that a delegation from the Palestine Liberation Organization had been invited to Australia to establish an office. Leibler said he believed all Australians would join the Jewish community, in resisting what he described as “an attempt to import Arab terrorism here.”
