out, “that a gigantic state dedicates all its machinery to defame and ruin the Jews in the country and to foster anti-Semitism all over the world.
It is difficult to ascertain the sentiments of the entire German people, but there is no doubt that one section is already tired of anti-Jewish calumny.”
Neville Laski, president of the Board, who returned from the meeting of the administrative committee of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, which was held in New York, reported that the meeting had been most constructive. The sessions resulted in the creation of much good will for the Jewish Agency and for Palestine work.
OPPOSE POLISH APPEAL
Mr. Laski revealed that he had enjoyed two hours of “very helpful conversation” with Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Justice Benjamin Cardozo, Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes and former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, of the U. S. Supreme Court.
An appeal for Polish Jewry was opposed by Mr. Laski on the ground that it was premature, would not improve the situation and might do harm. The Joint Foreign Committee, he reported, advised that such an appeal must wait for the proper time and proper methods.
A full report on the Polish Jewish situation, together with recommendations on action to be taken, will be submitted to the Board of Deputies, Mr. Laski declared.
