Nothing will be done about negotiations with Germany for payment of Jewish repartion claims without the full knowledge of the Jewish public, a Jewish Agency spokesman announced today. Speaking at a press conference, the spokesman said that Dr. Nahum Goldmann in his activities in relation to the Jewish claims on Germany had acted in his dual capacity of co-chairman of the Agency executive and chairman of the New York conference on problems relating to Jewish restitution claims on Germany.
The Agency spokesman, commenting on yesterday’s debate in the Israel Parliament over immigration, admitted that the tempo of immigration had slowed down. He cited the following three factors as responsible for the falling-off of immigration: 1. The completion of the evacuation of the Iraqi Jewish community; 2. The slowing down of immigration from countries where the Agency has had no control over the migratory movement; 3. The Agency’s grave financial situation.
