A new society for combatting the anti-Semitic movement, to consist of the non-nationalist, conservative Jewish element, is being planned, it was learned here today.
Preliminary steps for the creation of such a body were taken at a meeting held under the chairmanship of Dr. Henry Sliosberg, well known Russian Jewish attorney and communal worker.
It was also learned that the circles interested in the creation of the new body are opposed to the conference on Jewish Rights which was called by the American Jewish Congress and the Committee of Jewish Delegations to meet in Geneva in August. The plan of reviving the committee of Jewish delegations as an international Jewish representative body is viewed by Dr. Sliosberg as undesirable. The committee which was formed for the establishment of the society to combat anti-Semitism will issue a statement to this effect, it was learned.
