A strong resolution against the Palestine-Germany barter pact was today adopted by the United Committee for Combating Persecution of Jews in Germany. The resolution calls upon the World Zionist Organization to renounce the agreement as soon as possible.
Established in 1933 soon after Hitler came to power, Haavarah, Palestine trustee office of the transfer, is expected to pass under control of the Zionist Executive as a result of a resolution to that effect adopted by the 19th Zionist Congress in Lucerne, in August.
It is the purpose of the transfer agreement to enable Jews of Germany to save at least a part of their capital through an arrangement whereby they receive credit in Palestine for German goods shipped there.
