Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman of the American section of the Jewish Agency executive, today denied a United Press report that he had “urged” at the European Zionist Conference in Paris that Jews the world over be granted “double nationality”–to the country in which they live, and to Israel.
Dr. Goldmann, who has just returned from Paris, declared that the report was false. “I never used the term ‘double nationality’ and I have always been opposed to that idea,” he said. “What I did state was that every Jew can owe political loyalty only to the country in which he lives, but that he should, at the same time, be linked to Israel by moral and spiritual ties.”
