A most influential committee for the protection of Jewish rights in Central and Eastern Europe has been organized here with the participation of leading French statesmen. The executive body of the organization includes Anatole de Monzie, Minister of Education; former Ministers Pierre Flandin and Justin Godart, and Emile Roche, vice-president of the Radical (Government) party. Among the Jewish leaders on the committee are Robert Rothschild, Dr. Leo Motzkin, who presented the Bernheim petition to the League of Nations Council; Henry Slosberg, and Sylvain Levi, president of the Alliance Israelite Universelle.

Raymond Patenotre, Minister of National Economy, is one of the founders of the committee which aims to defend the rights of the Jewish populations and persons of Jewish origin who are threatened with deprivation of their legal and political rights, to combat anti-Semitic propaganda and to assist in the economic restoration of Jewish victims.
