Members of the Administrative Committee of the American Jewish Congress will confer in Europe with European Jewish leaders for the purpose of arriving at more effective methods of cooperation between European Jewish agencies and the American Jewish Congress in the task of safeguarding and protecting Jewish rights in East-European countries, a statement issued by the American Jewish Congress declared.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise. who sailed for Europe last week, will be joined by other members of the Administrative Committee of the American Jewish Congress, including Judge Hugo Pam, David Shapiro, Morris Dlugasch, Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum and Mrs. Archibald Silverman, Honorary Vice-President of the American Jewish Congress.
The representatives of the American Jewish Congress will have a series of meetings with Dr. Leo Motzkin, Chairman of the Committee of Jewish Delegations, as well as with spokesmen of Jewish communities in various countries. A general conference will be held in London on July 25th.
It is expected that as a result of these negotiations definite steps will have been taken for the convening of a large European conference next summer at which all the Jewish communities in Europe will be represented by their democratically chosen and authorized spokesmen for the purpose of considering the problem of the rights of Jewish minorities and reorganizing the Committee of Jewish Delegations, the statement declared.
The next session of the American Jewish Congress is scheduled to convene in October.
