Twenty Jewish youths from Palestine are participating in the International Youth Conference which opened in London County Hall with each nation represented by a delegation of twenty. Two of the Jewish group are soldiers. six are agricultural workers. four are scientists working for the war effort and eight are students.
At a mass-meeting last night in Albert Hall, addressed by speakers of all nations, David Moushine, speaking in behalf of the Palestine Youth delegation, said that Jews in the Allied armies are fighting and giving their lives every day on the battlefields. “We, the Jewish youth of Palestine, pledge ourselves to work and to fight until a happier world secures the four freedoms for Jewish citizens of all countries and national liberation for the Jewish people in our ancient homeland, in Palestine.”
