(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The principle of cooperation and unification in the Jewish welfare work in Germany and in the endeavors to protect Jewish rights abroad was decided upon at a nationwide conference of Jewish leaders held Sunday in Nuerenberg.

The decision was reached at a conference of representatives of the federations of the Jewish communities in all the states which are included in the Reich. Kammergerichtsrat Wolff of Berlin and Professor Sobernheim, Ministerial Councillor of the German Foreign Office, presided over the sessions.

Following reports submitted by Dr. Alfred Klee of Berlin and by Landesgerichtsrat Neumeyer, president of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Bavaria, the conference vote to establish contact between the separate federations of the Jewish communities, aiming at a joint program in Jewish religious and welfare work. This cooperation among the various federations is to be a preparatory move before the plan for creating a federation of federations is consummated. The conference also voted that the individual federations as well as the future national federation are to cooperate with Jewish communities abroad for the protection of Jewish rights.
