A campaign to arouse public opinion over the plight of 3 million Jews in the Soviet Union and to stimulate action on the humanitarian issues involved was announced at a meeting of the London bureau of the Socialist International which closed here last night. The campaign will be based on a report by a special working party on the status of Soviet Jewry which was adopted by the Socialist International at its annual conference in Zurich last month.
The meeting also discussed the Arab-Israel conflict and decided to forward the International’s resolution on that subject to Secretary General U Thant with a request that he circulate it among all United Nations members. The resolution expressed “full solidarity with the people of Israel who are defending their existence and their liberty against aggression” and called for “negotiated peace treaties between Israel and the Arab states.”
