A motion signed by 52 Labor MP’s and calling on the British Government to take action in the United Nations and through other channels to fight the anti-Jewish drive in the Communist countries, was today presented to Parliament. This is the second such motion, an earlier one having been presented by two Conservatives and one Laborite.

The latest motion asks appropriate action to combat “this terrible revival of race discrimination.” The Conservative motion deplored the Communist campaign as a “flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter” and asks British Government action in the U.N.
