The suggestion that Jews in Nazi-held territories be exchanged for German war prisoners has been definitely rejected by the participants at the Bermuda Conference, it was indicated here today.
The delegates also rejected the suggestion advanced in petitions of Jewish organizations that they recommend the sending of food and medicaments to the ghettos in Nazi-occupied countries on the same basis as this is being done for the starving population in Axis-held Greece.
It became certain today that the conference will not discuss the possibilities of negotiating with Germany for an orderly evacuation of Jews from Nazi-held countries. Delegates to the parley refused to make any comment on the reported decisions.
