Canada has accepted more than 11,000 displaced Jews during the past two years, Col. David Croll, Jewish M.P., revealed during an address here.

This makes Canada second only to Israel in the number of Jewish DP’s it has accepted for resettlement, Col. Croll declared. Government statistics released in Ottawa recently disclosed that over 71,000 DP’s of all nationalities and faiths have been accepted by the Dominion since April, 1947.
