Much of the work being done in behalf of the Jewish communities in other countries is being jeopardized by organizational anarchy, by needless duplication and confusion of effort, it was emphasized here today at the concluding session of a two-day meeting on world Jewish affairs and on Israel sponsored by the American Jewish Congress.
The parley called on the World Jewish Congress to take the lead in bringing about greater coordination among Jewish groups concerned with international affairs. Among the subjects discussed today were tensions in the Middle East, French policy in North Africa and the role of the World Jewish Congress on the American scene.
Last night, Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the WJC, said that an “exaggerated optimism” had prevailed among the Jewish people since the Allied victory in World War II and the establishment of Israel. He advocated strengthening of the ties between Jewish communities all over the world and Israel, thus aiding educational and cultural development.
