A resolution condemning the Nuremberg anti-Jewish laws was unanimously adopted today at a plenary session of the International Union of League of Nations Societies, in convention here.
The resolution was offered by The Netherlands branch of the Union. Germany’s organization is not represented at the convention.
In an address preceding the vote on the resolution Mrs. Thomas Dugdale, rapporteur, declared that the Jewish situation in Germany is an obstacle to friendly Anglo-German relations.
Voicing regret at the absence of the German delegation, Mrs. Dugdale attributed their refusal to attend to a “bad conscience.”
She stressed the necessity of condemning the Third Reich’s aggression against innocent and unprotected German Jews as the Union’s moral duty.
The congress also unanimously adopted a resolution asking the British Government to facilitate immigration of Jewish refugees to Palestine “to the utmost extent consistent with the mandate.”
