The Jewish Labor Committee, in a resolution adopted at the opening session of its national convention today at the Hotel Commodore here, hailed the declaration by the Allied nations “as another reaffirmation of the democratic principles for which the United States, in common with the other United Nations, is now engaged in a struggle with the Nazi hordes.” The resolution thanked the United Nations and President Roosevelt in the names of the “thousands of Jews in the ghettos” and expressed its appreciation on behalf of American Jewish Labor. It voiced the hope that practical measures will be taken immediately to save “the tortured Jews of Europe, who otherwise may not live to see the day of victory.”
