Caiserman, Esq.,General Secretary,Canadian Jewish Congress,1121 St. Catherine St. West,MONTREAL, P.Q.Dear Mr. Caiserman:Faithfully yours,Chief Publicity BranchJM:WAThe other day I asked Mr. A. Cohen, chief of our Manufacturing Branch, how I could get the exact figures of enlistment of Jews in the Canadian armed forces. He suggested that I write you.If you have such figures I would very much like to get them. I have seen statements which seem to me unfair to the Jewish race, and there is every likelihood that an opportunity will come my way to correct some wrong impressions that have been created. At any rate I have the will to do that.If you have any comparative or pro rata figures worked out they might save me a lot of work.Read automatically; may contain mistakes.
