Senator Alfred M. Cohen, international president of the B’nai B’rith, delivered an impressive address on the Jewish situation in America and Europe last night at an installation banquet of the order’s Ottawa lodge, at which the mayor of the city and prominent Canadian officials were present.
“The Jew,” Senator Cohen said, “has always done his duty to the country in which he lives. The Jews of Germany are doing their duty even now.” The Senator pointed out that the B’nai B’rith has been defending the Jews for nearly a century, whenever such defense was needed.
M. A. Margoshes was installed at the banquet as the new president of the Ottawa lodge.
