The Bureau of the Socialist International, which met here this weekend, decided to arrange an informal meeting between the Austrian Vice Chancellor, Dr. Adolf Schaerf, who is chairman of the Austrian Social Democratic Party, and representatives of the Labor Zionist movement to discuss the breakdown in the Austrian-Jewish reparations negotiations.
The meeting is to be held in Brussels at the end of this month during the conference of European Socialist Parties. Morgan Phillips, president of the Socialist International and secretary of the British Labor Party, will preside at the meeting.
The bureau acted after Dr. S. Levenberg of London reported that Jewish labor felt disturbed by reports that the Austrian Social Democrats, who are part of the Austrian Government coalition, had taken an unhelpful attitude on the question of restitution to Jewish victims of Nazism.
