The American military authorities in Europe were today praised for their aid to displaced Jews by the International Committee of Jewish Refugees in a message to american Jewry released through the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The message, which also lauds President Truman for his sympathetic attitude toward the Jewish survivors, follows:
“The Jewish DP’s who are forced to wander from land to land and camp to camp thank above all President Truman who has constantly shown interest in the problems of Jewish refugees and who used all influence to solve the problem of Jewish refugees by calling for the immigration of 100,000 Jews to Palestine. The Jewish refugees also thank the American military authorities, the Joint Distribution Committee and American Jewry for their generous help.
“Jews of America, continue to help us. Help us bridge this terrible period. With your aid we shall reach our goal — Palestine — and begin a new life. Brothers and sisters of America, the most unfortunate of unfortunates place their confidence in you.”
