The Toronto Labor Committee for Human Rights intends to ask the Ontario Provincial Government for a law that will force purveyors of anti-Semitic material to identify themselves on their propaganda, G. Eamon Park, chairman, said today.
He told the Toronto Labor Conference on Human Rights that the proposal stemmed from the appearance in Toronto of thousands of copies of a pamphlet which said that President Kennedy was assassinated “by Marxist Lee Oswald, who was silenced by Jew Jacob Rubenstein before he could expose that communism is Jewish.”
He said one of the problems in dealing with such material was the anonymity of it and that “we should act now to end the secrecy behind the sources of this scurrilous literature.” He added that there were precedents for such a proposal citing federal and provincial election laws requiring political parties and candidates to state the issuing source and authority for printed election materials.
