New Plans Help Speed Absorption
JERUSALEM (ISI) — In order to get new Immigrants out of transit camps and into productive work rapidly, the Jewish Agency-Govr ernment Coordinating Board has decided not to give assistance to able-bodied immigrant men of working age if they refuse to go to places of work to which they are directed.
The Ministry of Labor is allocating IL.500,000 for the development of auxiliary farming unitfi. The money will be transferred to a special fund, in which the S&Vr ish Agency and Histadrut participate, which has already invested IL.600,000 in 6,000 farming units.
The Jewish Agency Settlement Department is establishing mo-shavim for iiumigT-ants, which will subsist mainly on the production of wheat and barlcty. Ten dry-fanning moshavim, each consisting of IGO farming units, will be set up immediately and another will be founded during the summer near Faluga where the soil is exceptionally good for dry-farming.
Each unit will coat about IL.600 to establish and will cover 178 du° nams, producing about 1600 kilos of wheat annually and 1200 pf barley, 3200 of straw, as well as vegetables. Mi

The speakers were the UBC Mc-Gowan Cup public speaking champions. Allistair Fraser spoke for a Bill of Rights while Don Lan-skail spoke in opposition to it.
Mr. Fraser cited various Jn-staiices of curtailment of civil rights in Canada which could be righted under a Bill of Rights, He nientioned the anti-Japanese discrimination during the war, the treatment of the Jehovah's Wit-nessejs in Quebec .etc.
He said th£ut Canadian courts were hamp^ered in meting out justice in cases Invjcflving infringement of civil rights because of the lack of a Bill of Rights. He pointed out that in Quebec, for example, there is no appeal from a decision of the Recorder's Court.
Voicing arguments against the Bill of Rights, Mr. Lanskail stated that it would infringe on the sovereignty of parliament and that the constitutional problem would

Quebec wouldn't accept It on religious grounds, he said, nor| would Saskatchewan accept a Bill of Rights guaranteeing rights of property while it had a OOF-socialist government. He also argued that a Bill of Rights would rather limit rights by definition.
