Informal expressions of sympathy with American Jews in their anxiety over the fate of their brethren in Germany were voiced at a private meeting of the National Conference of Jews and Christians here. Following reports by James G. MacDonald, president of the Foreign Policy Association, and others, Newton D. Baker, a co-chairman of the conference, spoke briefly.
“I feel quite sure that I express on behalf of both Catholics and Protestants our warm sympathy for American Jews, who are especially grieved at these reports,” Mr. Baker said.
A committee will be formed by the conference to obtain information on the situation.
Resolutions condemning the Nazi methods in Germany were adopted at the annual conference of the New York City Congregational Church Association.
