The United States Government was asked today by the Americans for Democratic Action to offer relief and transportation for the Jews exiled from Egypt and to admit into this country any of the Egyptian Jewish refugees who desire to come here
In a statement, the ADA said that it views with “horror” the “enforced” exodus of Jews from Egypt and called upon the U.S. Government to make representations to the Egyptian Government demanding the immediate halting of its “planned campaign” of exiling Jews from Egypt, confiscating their bank accounts, property, furniture, shops and industries. The organization also asked the President to instruct the U.S. representative at the UN to sponsor a resolution for the establishment of a UN observation team to review the situation in Egypt and report on it.
