Delegates to the World Conference of Jewish Organizations who convened their semi-annual meeting here today, decided unanimously to continue COJO efforts in full conformity with a memorandum delivered to the Vatican several months ago. The memorandum was believed to be concerned with the issue of Catholic-Jewish relations as a possible subject on the agenda of the Ecumenical Council, which is reconvening next month in Rome.
With Label A. Katz, president of B’nai B’rith, presiding, the meeting opened with a review of the world Jewish situation by Dr. Nahum Goldmann. Dr. Gerhart Riegner of the World Jewish Congress, and Dr. A. Ehrlich of the International Council of B’nai B’rith, then reviewed the work of COJO in Rome in preparation for resumption of the Ecumenical Council. They analyzed prospects for the future in connection with policies in the light of recent developments. COJO instructed them to remain jointly responsible for the continuation of these activities in Rome.
