Dr. Stephen S. Wise, President of the American Jewish Congress, conferred with Secretary Kellogg on Saturday, concerning the persecution of the Jews in Roumania and othe countries of Eastern Europe.
Dr. Wise headed a delegation from the Congress and other Jewish organizations which on Jan. 13 called the attention of the State Department to the condition of minority races in Eastern Europe and urged diplomatic action if any steps could be considered feasible by this Government. Mr. Kellogg at that time gave a sympathetic hearing and indicated that the matter would have his attention. The conference today is understood to have been in furtherance of the matters discussed at that meeting.
