An all-Ukrainian conference of Jewish colonists, artisans and workers was opened yesterday in the city of Simferopol in the presence of 300 delegates.

The Communist Jewish daily newspaper, “Der Emes”, reports from Crimea that elections to this conference took place in an atmosphere of hostility against the Zionists. In many towns and villages resolutions were adopted urging the Soviet government to close the agricultural collectives of the He’chalutz, the Zionist pioneer society, and transform these collectives into Jewish agricultural schools.
