The formation of a Jewish Government-in-exile similar to the other governments of the United Nations whose territories are now occupied by the Axis powers, was urged by Col. Morris J. Mendelsohn, president of the New Zionist Organization of America, addressing the annual convention of the organization which closed last night.

Benjamin Akzin, member of the Presidency of NZO, addressing the convention on what the Jewish policy should be “both for the duration and the aftermath of the war” urged that this policy include “the demands for a Jewish Army, unrestricted mass immigration to Palestine, and an independent Jewish State there.”
