Anti-Semitism is now on the decline in the liberated countries of Western Europe, and the non-Jewish population there is displaying more sympathy for the Jews than in the early months of liberation, it was reported here yesterday by Dr. Leon Kubovitsky, general secretary of the World Jewish Congras, who has just returned from Europe.

At the same time, Dr. Kubovitsky emphasized, that the economic position of many Jews in France, Belgium and Italy is gradually improving, they find it difficult to adjust themselves to life in an atmosphere where they lost members of their families and their most intimate friends. He revealed that there are, at present, 15,000 new Jewish refugees in Italy, who entered the country during the last six months. They are being well treated by the Italian authorities, he said.
