The widespread distribution of anti-Jewish literature in Toronto and other parts of Canada is "foreboding and ominous," Rabbi Maurice Eisendrath, declared yesterday in a speech on "Why is the Jew Persecuted" before the Toronto Ministerial Association. Replying for the ministers, the Rev. C. D. Scott, chairman, said that Protestants were deeply interested in preventing the spread of anti-Semitism. The Rev. J. D. Parks attributed hatred of Jews to ignorance and lack of personal contact.
