The Jewish Committee for Action Against the Rearmament of Germany, on which are represented the major organizations of French Jewry, has sent a communication to the Berlin conference of Big Four Foreign Ministers expressing the committee’s best wishes for the success of their efforts to safeguard peace.
The committee’s letter reminded the Big Four that it was their unity which had made possible the defeat of Hitler, and asserted that the rearming of Germany now would menace world peace, in general, and the security of France, in particular. “In the midst of the European Army, the presence of a reborn Wehrmacht led by the same Nazi generals who had sown death and destruction in Europe arouses our indignation,” the letter added.
