At an all-day session of the administrative a committee and the European Advisory Council of the World Jewish Congress, today, a resolution was adopted commending President Roosevelt for his public statement on the position of the Government of the United States on the problem of the rescue of the remnants of European Jewry and for his appeal to the neutral countries to afford havens to the victims of Nazi tyranny.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman of the administrative committee, paid tribute to the American Government, which, he said, was in the vanguard of the rescue movement. He asserted that it was the general consensus of opinion here and abroad that there will not be a “quick peace conference,” and, therefore, Jewish post-war plans must be drawn up with a view to many years of activity.
Dr. Arieh Tartakower, who together with Dr. Goldmann spent several months in London recently, in frequent meetings with governmental heads and leaders of Jewry, reported in detail about the negotiations with various governments-in-exile concerning the problem of rescue of the remnants of European Jewry.
