The seventh annual convention of the Zionist Organization of France, proposing a plan for financing the immigration and resettlement of surviving European Jews in Palestine, has urged the Jewish Agency to demand reparations from Germany.
The conference also adopted resolutions calling for the abrogation of the White Paper and the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. Affirming the friendship between the Jewish and Arab peoples, the meeting went on record as protesting the unilateral separation of Transjordan from Palestine, demanded the trial of the ex-Mufti as a war criminal, and called for an end to the Arab League’s boycott against Jewish-made goods from Palestine.
Pointing out the dangers to France and to the Jews of a united Germany, and pressing the historical support offered to Zionism by France, even before the issuance for the Balfour Declaration, the conference appealed to the French Government for continued aid to Zionist aspirations.
