The drafts of at least ten resolutions dealing with various Jewish problems will be submitted to the 42nd annual conference of the British Labor Party, which is meeting here from June 14 to 17, it was learned today.
A resolution proposed by the Poale-Zion organization expresses horror at the extermination of the Jewish people and asks that Palestine be opened to unlimited Jewish immigration. It also asks equal status for Jews among the free nations of the world, implementation of the Balfour Declaration, international assistance for the upbuilding of a Jewish National Home in Palestine and the establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth “integrated in the structure of the democratic world.”
Other resolutions which the Labor Party will be asked to adopt urge the immediate rescue of the Jews in Europe, the creation of a special ministry to deal with the refugee problem, punishment of those persons responsible for the extermination of the Jews in Axis-held territories, and condemnation of the anti-Semitic agitation in Britain. The local branch of the Labor Party in Leeds at a meeting this week adopted a resolution demanding that the “Jewish people be adequately represented when the United Nations meet to consider problems affecting them.”
