Representatives of 89 religious, labor and political organizations meeting here today at a Conference to Combat Anti-Semitism adopted a resolution calling on the government to make the spreading of racialist propaganda a criminal offense.

The 150 delegates expressed disappointment at the failure of the Bermuda Conference to take concrete action to aid the Jews in Europe, and urged the British Government to grant block visas to refugees and to lift the immigration restrictions in Palestine.

Dr. C.J. Wright, president of the Manchester Free Church General Council, told the delegates that anti-Semitism was in fundamental opposition to the British sense of justice and liberty.
