The Jewish Community Center of Fulton County, representing more than a thousand Jewish inhabitants of this district, has passed a resolution urging the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate to vote its approval of the Tydings Resolution.
Declaring that the government has on many occasions before “made infercession on behhalf of citizens of foreign countries who have been prosecuted or oppressed by their own governments, including nine times on behalf of Jews in foreign states,” the resolution asserts that it is the traditional policy of the American government to make known its opposition to oppression in foreign lands. Jacob Lazarus is acting president of the Community Center.
