AMERICAN JEWISH CONFERENCE WILL CONVENE AGAIN WITHIN TWELVE MONTHS
NEW YORK (WNR) — The American Jewish Conference closed its five day session here last week after adopting, resolu¬ tions calling for tho estal]llsh- ment ot a Jewish Commimweaiih in Palestine, for tho imnicdiatc rescue of Eurojiean .lewr.y. for the outlawing of anti-Semitism, for the reclssion of tho 'White Paper and for unrestricted and free Immigration to Palestine.
The five day conference, one ot the most Important conclaves in the history of American Jeu- ry, was marked by dramatic mo¬ ments, particularly during the adoption of the Palestine resolu¬ tion and the deliberations on the tragedy of European JewO'-
At the closing session an in¬ terim committee of 55 delegates was elected to carry out the man¬ dates and resolutions of the Con¬ ference until its next session which is to take place not later than within twelve month.s.
The resolution demanding the establishment of a Jewish Com¬ monwealth in Palestine was ad¬ opted with only four dls.sentlng votes. The labor bloc, represent¬ ing the Jewish Labor Committee, alistained from voting after an¬ nouncing that its delegates were divided on the Palestine Lssue.
Following the adoption of the pro-Palestine resolution, Judge Joseph M. Proskaiier- president of the American Jew ish Committee,
announceil that
ailhough. he and his two fcllow- deiegatcs had dissented from the Palestine resolullon "with iini- found regret", the re|)resenta- lives of (lie American Jewish Committee would continue to co¬ operate with the Conference in its entleavors to have the Ptdes- tine While Paper revoked. Judge Proskauer voiced the l)ollef that "tha present issuance of the jn'o- po.sais contained in the resolu¬ tion is unwise .because it may carry with it embarassment to the governments of the United Nations, and is calculated to jeo¬ pardize the status of Jews an{l even prejudice the fullest de\'ei- opment ot the Jewish settlement in Palestine itself".
The Contei-ence also adopted at Its closing, sessions several resolutions on the prolilem of the iiost-war status of Murt)Iican Jewry, including relief and re¬ habilitation.
Relief J'lOhlcni
"Wo urge the United Nations Relief and Rchahilitalion agen¬ cies to give earnest attention lo these special needs. We are confident that in the feeding, clothing and sheltering of the stricken population, the checking and preventing the further spread of epidemics and disease the caring tor children orphaned or separated from their parents, the reuniting of scattered fam¬ ilies, and the aiding ot deiiortees
