A conference of all Christian denominations in Scotland meeting here yesterday reaffirmed the recent statement of the Presbyterian Church demanding that the Allied nations make greater efforts to assist Jews who succeed in escaping from Nazi-held countries and guarantee the restoration of all civil and religious rights to Jews after the war.

The meeting, which was called by the Church of Scotland, stressed that it is the duty of Christians everywhere to combat anti-Semitism. It voted to establish a continuations committee, with representatives of churches and Jewish communities participating, to study the world situation and its relations to Jews as well as means of countering the spread of anti-Semitism.
