A wave of anti-Semitism is spreading over North America today with Quebec elements taking the lead in attempting to sway Canada against the Jews, Rabbi Barnett R. Brickner of Cleveland warned the Canadian Jewish Congress at a meeting last night.

“I have never seen the Jews of America so jittery over their security as they are today,” Rabbi Brickner asserted. “They are indeed being driven back to the fold. It is tragic that in the twentieth century we should have to experience a decline of Jewish security on this continent.”
