The Jewish War Veterans of New York State, at their 17th annual convention which concluded last night, adopted a resolution urging the boycott of goods end services of the Government of Great Britain and asked Congress to withhold E.R.P, funds from Britain for supporting the Arab position in the Palestine war.
Other resolutions adopted called for support of a bill sponsored by Rep. Jacob Javits to make $100,000,000 worth of lend-lease equipment available to Israel, “such goods to be sent in American ships, “and requested the State Department to make public its file of captured German documents on the Grand Mufti. The convention also decided to petition the United Nations and the Big five to brand and indict the Grand Mufti as “a war criminal and a menace to world peace.”
