A three-day convention of the American Labor Zionist movement opens tomorrow at the Hotel Pennsylvania when one thousand delegates gather to discuss a post-war program for Jewish reconstruction. The convention will voice the opinion of 40,000 organized Labor Zionists on the main issues confronting the Jewish people today, and will evolve a program of action to be presented for consideration at the forthcoming American Jewish Assembly.
Following an address by Moshe Shertok, head of the Political Department of the Jewish Agency, the convention will deliberate on the three-fold objective of organizing American Jewry to assume greater responsibilities for the fate of the Jews in Europe and Palestine; the adoption of a program regarding the future status of Jews in Palestine and in post-war Europe; and a plan whereby American Jewry combined with Jews of other lands can best bring these proposals to the World Peace conference in the name of the entire Jewish people.
