The continued deterioration of the Jewish position in Europe today was the subject of conferences between Jewish orthodox leaders and President Benes of Czechoslovakia and his foreign minister Jan Masaryk, as well as with the Polish ministers Prof. Stanislaw Kot and Jan Stanczyk. The Jewish leaders stressed the point that unless urgent measures are taken, complete annihilation faces the Jews of Poland and the Czech Protectorate.

The Jewish groups supporting the Free Austrian movement in England today joined the democratic, socialists and Catholic groups in withdrawing their support from this movement and in declaring the movement as no longer having any authority. At present the Free Austrian movement here is backed only by monarchists and communists.
