"If we err, we err on the side of fairness and compassion. The Sri Lankans, who are Hindu Tamils, admitted late Saturday they lied to immigration officers when they said they left India in a boat July 7 and were set adrift a month later to founder for five days off the coast of Newfoundland. Mulroney, speaking to reporters, dismissed suggestions by legislators that allowing the Sri Lankans to remain would attract more refugees and he was angered that a Liberal member of Parliament, Sergio Mar-ch- i, suggested placing them in internment camps. The prime minister described the Sri Lankans as "frightened human beings searching for freedom and opportunity. However, he said the government will investigate how the Sri Lankans arrived in Canada and possibly tighten immigration procedures. The refugees, who said they fled religious persecution in their civil Asian homeland, sailed to Canada on a freighter from West Germany. They said they fabricated the tale as a ruse to obtain refugee status and settle in Canada. They were dropped off at an unknown location off Newfoundland from an unknown boat and drifted for an unknown number of days. My phones have been ringing off the hook since the admission, said Conservative member of Parliament Alex Kindy. The basic message is that these people are pirates trying to sneak into Canada and that we should put them back in the same boats they came in and send them home. The refugees, including four women and five children, were picked up by fishermen off Newfoundland last Monday. Immigration officials have issued them special one-yeresidence permits and flown them to Montreal and Toronto, where they joined fellow Tamils already settled there. Sri Lanka, an island off the southeast coast of India, has a long history of ethnic tension between the minority Hindu Tamils and the mainly Buddhist Sinhalese majority. war-ravag- Israelis, Soviets Discuss Issues at Parley Today Israeli Government Allows Mormon Education Center Reuter News Agency The Israeli govJERUSALEM ernment Sunday appioved the building of a controversial Mormon educa- tion center in Jerusalem on condition the Mormons gave a written promise to refrain from missionary activity, a cabinet statement said. Jews had protested ... against construction of the $15 mil- lion annex of Utahs Brigham Young 1 University, charging it would be used to convert Jews to the Church of Je- sus Christ of Latter-daSaints. A ministerial committee set up to I investigate the allegations, which were denied by Mormon leaders, said last week there were no legal means to stop the building. But it called on the Mormons to sign a lease contain- clause. ing an Accepting the committee's recom-- t mendation, the cabinet said it wanted I to examine the wording of the lease within three months.

Publicly the Soviets have said the talks will center on matters relating to Russian Orthodox Church property in Israel and the occupied West Bank. Israels government has ordered its delegates make the issue of Soviet Jewry their top priority. But Western diplomats and officials close to the talks said Sunday the Soviets initiated the two-dameeting to warm up relations with Israel and gain a larger role for the Kremlin in the Middle East peace process. The Soviets have held church property in Israel for a long time. Why do they want to discuss it now? It appears to be a convenient excuse for sitting down and talking with the Israelis," said one diplomat, who, like the other sources, insisted on y Israel has said it would agree to some sort of international conference in conjunction with direct talks between Israel and the Arabs. But it has said it will not agree to Soviet participation until Moscow resumes diplomatic ties severed as a result of the War in 1967. Six-Da- y Moscow has said repeatedly it will not resume full ties until the Israelis withdraw from the West Bank and other territory occupied since the war.
