A delegation of the National Council of Jews of Czechoslovakia will leave for the United States shortly to inform American Jews on steps to secure national minority rights in a future Czechoslovak state and adequate representation of the Czechoslovak State Council in London.

A meeting of the council, addressed by Barnett Janner, Member of Parliament, decided to extend the council’s activities, not only in the political but in the cultural and social spheres.

A committee of Czech Jewish political leaders has been formed in Palestine on the initiative of Ernest Frischer, former president of the Jewish Party of Czechoslovakia, and ex-Deputies Angelo Goldstein and Chaim Kugel to act as a liaison organization between the London committee and the Czech Jews in Palestine.
