ence measure
TORONTO —
The Arab boycott in Canada is an Arab Self-defence measure designed to get Israel "to respect lh£_national and humeri rights of the_, Palestinians, and to change its illegal policies of territorial expansion." says a booklet published in Ottawa by the Arab League Information Centre.
Author SamiHadawi justifies use of boycotts by asserting they have been employed by other nations in the past. "Sovereign nations have always felt that they have the right to use their economic resources...in defence of their vital interests." he writes.
He argues that trade boycotts are considered by some to be legitimate instruments pf national policy, since trade itself is not regarded as an obligatory function of a state.
Hadawi states that the Arabs "have officially and repeatedly affirmed that they will never discriminate against Jewish individuals or firms which respect the .Arab boycott against Israel."
He observed that the Arabs regard every
Zionist — of whatever nationality — to be a potential enemy, and "his entry is considered to be.a threat to the safety and security of their countries."
Referring to the Cominission on Economic Coercion and Discrimination of January, 1977. which disclosed widespread instances of Canadian compliance with the boycott, Hadawi n.otesr
"The membership includes persons whose neutrality and objectivity are open to question." The commission was headed by Prof. Irwin Cotler of McGill and among the members he names are MP Herb Gray, former NDP leader David Lewis and' onetime federal cabinet minister Judy LaMarsh. .
Hadawi says there are few independent Canadian firms presently engaged in trading with the Arab world. Concluding, he remarks: "If any Canadian company is affected by the Arab boycott of Israel, it is only because it is a subsidiary of United States firms."

Laskin at brotherhood dinner
TORONTO [Staff] —
Representatives from all levels of the Ontario judiciary, high-ranking clergymen, a former gov-ernor^gcncral. and a retinue of politicians ucrc on hand as Bora Laskin. chief justice of Canada. rccei\ • ed Beth Sholom Synagogue's annual humanitarian award.
The s> nagoguc bri)iher-hood's 2Sth dinner attracted (i5() people including; former go\crnor-gcneral Roland Michcner. a recipient of the au ard in' 19"4: Chief Justice of the Ontario Supreme Court VV.G.C. Howland: his
counterpart in the high court. Gregory Evans; Toronto .-\nglican Bishop Louis Garnsworthy and Ontario Ombudsman Arthur Maloney. , Laskin. the first Jewish chief justice, is the third member of Canada's Supreme Court to receive the award for "splendid achievement in the field of liumanitarian service."
In a 20-minuie address. Laskin paid tribute to his \\ife. Peggy, his judicial colleagues and mentors, and expressed his "understandable emotion" on the "nuning occasion."
In a light, and some-
what self-mocking tone, he deliberately side-stepped a long list of national socio-legal topics — such as constitutional questions, national unity, criminal law reform, capital punishment and environmental issues — in an effort. he said, to maintain his judicial neutrality.
"It is plain, brutal, sad — and for all you, very fortunate that the fact is a judge is subject to ever increasing limitations on freedom of speech as more and more matters of public interest become like subjects of litigation."
Chief justice since De-
cember. 1973, the Fort Williams, Ont., -native said he preferred to"adju-dicate than .pontificate," after teasing Ontario Attorney-General Roy McMurtry. who faced Laskin in the Supreme Court two years ago.
Joining McMurtry, the 19'77 recipient of the award, on the dias, was the 1957 honoree. Rev. Richard D. Jones, former director of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews. Chairman of the event was Frank Cadesky, and brotherhood president Harrv Goldstein.

Many .Near Eastern studies programs, he says.
are heavily infiuenccd by faculty members who were sons of missionaries or diplomats stationed in .■\rab countries, and affected by that acculturation. Students in these de-parimenis "develop an educai'i'onal bias which prepares them for a functional'bias" in government agencies and departments, where, he says. Arabists predominate. Library holdings at .American universities financed by .Arabs reflect a similar view point. whit'h spills over into university press publications on the Mideast. "It's all a vicious cycle." says the Canadian professor, who preferred to. remain anonymous.
Jonathan C. Lcvine. writing, in an .American Jewish weekly, says the pro-Arab pressure groups may not yet have niade in-roadsinto popular support for, Israel, although, "a small shift in the public's synipathics can influence .American foreign policy. ..Assessing the. pro-Zionist counter-propaganda on the campuses, he says it "is rendered iiieffective by its reacrive and defensive nature/ An c.xamina- : tibn of. the pro-Zionist materials available, quickly reveails a recurring theme —. a defence 'of Israel's relations with South Africa, a defence of Israel's occupation of Ju-dea and Samaria, a defence of Israel's policies
toward its .Arab citizens."
the tactics of several British pro-.Arab organizations arc much more emo„tional and have anti-Semitic overtones. The right-u.ing National Front joined forces last fallwith a group known as the .Arab Rights Movement. The NF's publication. Spearhead.,draws no distinction beivvccn Je.ws and Zionism. .The usual line runs something like; this:
"Everything Churchill did . u as in the interests of the Zionist bolshevik international finance capital conspiracy.",' Jews are alleged to lead "an intelligence, . propaganda arid Subycr-. sibn networ^k.''
A 52,500 advertisement . placed in the Guardian by the Union of Arab Stu-, dents ill the United King- . dbm. urged Jewish youth to join "'the . common struggle, against Zionist oppression and discrimi-nation.Wc call on vou to i
ed responsibility for campaigns against Jewish student groups. The National Union of Students in Britain partly defused the tensions on campuses by deploring the denial of rights to Jewish unions.
The Institute for Jewish Affairs in London puts the number of Arab students on British campuses at 15.000. and the number of Jews at appro.ximately
10.500. While most Arabs are members of an Arab student society, says an institute report, only about 3,000 of the Jews belong to the Union of Jewish Students, The ratio of organized Arab and Jewish.students is said to stand at 15 to 3, and considerably higher at vocational training schools where (he Mideast debate is concentrated-
join us for the realizatioir of a .secular, deniocratic state in air the land of Palestine." The paper eventually apologized for the ad. The Socialist Workers Party have claim-

Roberts on Palestinians
TORONTO —
Secretary of State John Roberts, outlining Canada's Middle East policy in an address here recently, said that the Palestinians "have a right to participate in the determination of their future."
Speaking at the annual conference of the Canadian Professors for Peace In The Middle East. Roberts explained that a final
.Arab-Israeli settlement "should provide a territorial foundation for the Palestinians' political self-expression."
He did not spell out details, saying that "the precise form of this concept" was not for Canada to decide.
Referring to the PLO, Roberts noted: "Canada has never accepted the PLO as the legitimate rep-
•rcsentative of' ihe Palestinians in the Middle East peace talks or elsew here, indeed, as long as the PLO refuses lo accept Resolution 242. it is hard to see hou it could pla\' a consiructi\e role ''
Roberts, who represents the Toronto riding ui St. Pauls as a Liberal, said that Canada has never hesitated lo iiilorni Israel and the .Arabs- about iis views.
