The New Zionist Organization of America today submitted a memorandum to the Trusteeship Committee of the UNCIO supporting the proposals of the Jewish Agency, and asking that nothing which would impair Jewish rights in Palestine and Jewish immigration to Palestine be recommended by the committee.
The Agudas Israel of America yesterday filed a memorandum with the UNCIO secretariate asking that the organization be given recognition in matters concerning the future of Palestine and emphasizing that the Agudah is for wide-spread Jewish immigration to Palestine “within the economic absorptive capacity of the country.” The memorandum also stated that the Agudas Israel is “striving for a just solution of the Arab-Jewish problem, without any need to renounce the rights granted to the Jewish people by the Palestine mandate.”
Other demands in the Agudah memorandum include international legislation against anti-Semitism, international legislation to protect the freedom of religious education and religious observance, and the establishment of a “Jewish trusteeship” to act as legal heir of Jews who were exterminated by the Germans together with their entire families.
