Anti-semitism Menaces Latin-american Countries, Labor Convention Warned

Anti-Semitism presents a danger to all the countries of Latin-America, Vicente Lombardo-Toledano, president of the Latin-American Federation of Labor, declared at the opening session of the organization’s convention in Cali, Colombia, on Sunday, according to information received here. He pointed out that anti-Semitism was used by all reactionary forces to promote national disintegration.

Prior to leaving here from Cali, Mr. Lombardo-Toledano told a Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent that the convention would consider steps to out-root anti-Semitism from Latin America and would, probably, express itself in favor of a Jewish state in Palestine. The labor leader said that personally he favored the establishment of such a state.
