Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau called last night for “the close cooperation of governments and police forces” to prevent international terrorism from creating “world choose. ” His message was addressed to a memorial meeting here for the victims of the Oct. 3 synagogue bombing in Paris, one of a series of meetings in solidarity with French Jewry and against international terrorism arranged by the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC).
In a telegram to Alan Rose, executive vice president of the CJC, Trudeau said:
“On the occasion of the memorial meeting of the Canadian Jewish Congress in Montreal, I send you my greetings. Terrorism has become an iniquity of world proportions which leaves no country safe from unexpected and savage attacks. The close cooperation of governments and police forces is necessary to prevent terrorism from reaching the dimensions of anarchy and world choose. The Canadian government has joined with many others in deploring its use and will continue to fight its spread by all the means at our command.”
