David Croll of Toronto and Leon Crestohl of Montreal, the only two Jewish members of the Canadian Parliament, were re–elected yesterday in the Liberal Party’s sweeping return to power. Both men are well known communal workers and Zionist leaders.

Adrien Arcand of Quebec, who gained notoriety in the past decade or so as the “Quebec Hitler,” was defeated in his campaign for Parliament. During the election campaign, Arcand renewed his anti-Semitic incitement.
