The question of the Austrian Social Democratic Party’s opposition to the settlement of restitution and reparations claims by the Jews against Austria will be raised informally at the Internatioanal Socialist Conference here by delegates from the Israel Mapai Party and the World Union of Zionist Socialist Parties. A number of delegates here have already expressed privately support of the Jewish claims.
Many Socialist leaders have expressed satisfaction over the decision of Zionist groups to attend the parley. It is expected that the Israeli delegates will use the opportunity presented by the presence of Socialist delegates from Japan, India, Indonesia and Burma at the parley to improve relations between Israel and the Asistic world.
