The Council of the Angle-Jewish Association at its meeting today reaffirmed its attitude with regard to the planned collaboration of the board of Deputies of British Jews with the World Jewish Congress.
The Council emphasized that under no circumstances will the Anglo-Jewish association be involved in any arrangement where international Jewish organizations, such as the world Jewish Congress, are equally involved. The statement is interpreted to than that the Anglo-Jewish Association will refrain from cooperating with the Board of Deputies on questions concerning Jews abroad as long as the Board continues its alliance with the World Jewish Congress.
The statement expresses the hope that the Board of Deputies will reconsider its decision to form a liaison committee of its representatives and representatives of the world Jewish Congress, to exchange information and unify the plans of action with regard to Jews in Europe. The statement in its conclusion lays emphasis on the Anglo-Jewish Association’s determination to make the contribution of the Anglo-Jewish community in the forthcoming peace-settlement discussion as effective as possible.
