The Poale Zion here will submit an amendment to a resolution on the agenda of the annual conference of the Labor Party, scheduled to meet at Blackpool from Oct. 1. to 5, calling for an improvement in the status of the Jews of the Soviet Union.
The proposed amendment reads: “The conference deplores the denial of religious and cultural self expression to the Jewish community in the Soviet Union and hopes that improvements in the international situation will induce the USSR to change the present intolerable attitude to the spiritual needs of the Jewish population.”
