The “immediate reconstitution of the Jewish Agency for Palestine” is demanded in a message cabled today by a number of prominent Jewish leaders in Argentina to twelve Jewish organizations in the United States. The B’nai B’rith in America is urged in the cable “to take the initiative” to bring about such a reconstruction.
The message, which is signed by Argentine members of the Jewish Agency and of the B’nai B’rith, insists that the Jewish Agency must be reconstructed so as to include all representative Jewish bodies “in order to approach the American and other Allied governments in a single united front for the recognition of the Jewish nation as an ally with the United Nations and for the establishment of a Jewish fighting force formed by Palestinian and stateless Jews with the help of lend-lease funds.”
The message was sent to the American Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs, American Jewish Committee, American Jewish Congress, the B’nai B’rith, the Zionist Organization of America, the Poale Zion-Zaire Zion, the Mizrachi, the Revisionists, the Hadassah, the Joint Distribution Committee, the Union of Orthodox Rabbis and the Agudas Israel.
