A resolution demanding that the “Big Four,” whose foreign ministers are meeting this Friday in Paris, take immediate steps for the admission of 100,000 displaced Jews from Europe to Palestine was adopted today at the 59th annual convention of the Independent Order B’rith Abraham, attended by 700 delegates from all parts of the country.
The resolution supported the Zionist demand for the establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth. It characterized the British White Paper as a “double cross” and a “disgrace” against civilization. Other demands advanced by the convention include:
1. The promulgation of an international law outlawing anti-Semitism; 2. The establishment by the United Nations of an International Bill of Human Rights to be enforced by a strong standing army or an international police force; 3. Speedy return of confiscated Jewish property in all liberated countries; 4. Continued rehabilitation and rescue work for the Jews who survived Nazi annihilation.
