The Central Jewish Committee today voted to af?iliate with the World Jewish Congress, if the latter organization is “reorganized and modelled along democratic lines.”
The Committee adopted a resolution declaring that the Congress played a “negative” role in Europe and must be reorganized. The resolution also proposed that the Congress convene a meeting of all European Jewish organizations, whether members of the WJC or not.
The Committee’s suggestions will be placed before the forthcoming European conference of the WJC, which is scheduled to open in Prague on April 23, by Dr. Adolph Berman, chairman of the Committee, and Shymon Zachariash,
The Committee’s decision was attacked by the representatives of the Jewish Socialist Bund, who said that the Bund will withdraw from the central body if it decides to join the World Jewish Congress.
