The European executive of the World Jewish Congress today sent a cable to the Central Committee of Jews in Poland protesting “most strongly against the (Committee’s) accusation that the congress leaders are serving American imperialism and aiding the warmongers.”
The Congress’ message pointed out that the W.J.C. “neither serves imperialism nor aids any warmongers. It believes that only peace, freedom and democracy can guarantee Jewish survival and security, as stated in the political resolutions of the W.J.C. plenary session in Montreux, which were supported by delegates of the Central Committee.” The protest added: “We call on you to withdraw these unjust accusations and afford equal publicity to our repudiation of them.”
