The possibility of an exchange of visits by a Hungarian Jewish delegation and a British Jewish group was disclosed today by Sir Barnett Janner, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews.
Sir Barnett said there had been an exchange of correspondence with officials of the Hungarian Jewish community and that the board would give further consideration to the Idea when more definite information was available as to the time of the suggested visit to Britain and other relevant information.
The letter from Hungarian Jewish leaders urged the board to act on the issuance and dissemination of anti-Jewish propaganda by groups of Hungarians in Britain. Sir Barnett said the board had replied that it was aware of the “pernicious activities” and had taken steps to deal with the problem. The board also wrote that British authorities were keeping a “watchful eye” on “these harmful activities. “
