The Jewish peace aims institute to be established by the American Jewish Congress will cooperate with a similar institute to be created by the World Jewish Congress in Geneva, it was announced today.
The American institute will probably serve as the American section of the Geneva body, it was stated. Its functions will be to study the minority rights clauses of the 1919 peace treaties, investigate their application and discover wherein and why they failed.
On the basis of the findings thus reached, there will be formulated the demands which the Jews will make after the peace, looking to a restoration of the rights of Jews in Europe and the establishment of safeguards which will prevent the infringement of these rights.
A special committee is being named to set up the institute, which is expected to engage the cooperation of outstanding historians and legal authorities, both Jewish and non-Jewish.
