The Sephardic World Confederation has decided to postpone the projected World Congress of Sephardic Jewry until the summer of 1928. Missions will visit the Sephardic centres in North and South America, the Balkans, Mesopotamia, India, to conduct propaganda on behalf of the Congress.

The Confederation is negotiating with its organizations in the various countries with a view to fixing on a place at which to convoke the Congress. Suggestions have been made that if the Congress cannot be held in Palestine, it should be called for Salonica, Vienna or Brussels.
