The Anglo-Jewish conference on the extended Jewish Agency will be held in the form of a public meeting at the Scala Theatre on April 21st, it was announced at the monthly meeting of the Board of Jewish Deputies held yesterday.
Representatives of all shades of opinion are expected to attend the conference, called to indicate British Jewry’s desire to cooperate in the extended Jewish Agency. Lord Melchett will be one of the leaders to address the meeting, it was stated.
The situation of the Jewish population in Roumania was reported to the Board by Lucien Wolf, Secretary of the Joint Foreign Committee. The situation in Roumania is quiet, Mr. Wolf declared. The government is providing for friendly relations between the State and the minorities.
Jewish organizations in various countries will cooperate on migration and refugee problems without actually creating a permanent unified organization, Mr. Wolf reported. This was agreed upon at a recent conference of Jewish societies interested in emigration question, held in Paris under the chairmanship of Dr. Leo Motzkin. Representatives of various Jewish organizations engaged in aiding emigrants will meet in Geneva whenever it is deemed necessary, to agree upon a common policy for migrants’ aid.
