The question of closer contact between Jewish Communal organizations in various countries was discussed at the first meeting of the recently organized Federation of Jewish Communities in Austria which was held here. It was stated that the Federation of Jewish Communities has already entered into definite relations with the Prussian Federation of Jewish Communities, the arrangement providing for mutual assistance and cooperation between the two bodies.

Negotiations are also in progress with the Vienna Jewish Community which has refused to join the Austrian Federation, with a view to securing common action between it and the Federation in matters affecting the general interest of all the Jewish communities in Austria. It is expected that the negotiations will shortly be satisfactorily concluded.

The meeting also considered the question of Jewish transmigration throgh Austria.
