Jewish displaced persons were urged to make “sacrifices comparable to those being made by the Jews in Palestine” at the closing session of the three-day conference of Labor Zionists in Germany which concluded here today. The appeal was made by Dr. Chaim Hoffman, Jewish Agency director in Germany and Austria, who has just returned from Palestine.
Dr. Hoffman told the 500 delegates attending the parley that the spirit of the ##s in Palestine was very high, but warned that grim days lie ahead. Other speakers included Berl Locker, member of the Jewish Agency executive who reviewed the United Nations proceedings leading up to the partition decision, and Marc Yarblum, Labor ##nist leader from Paris, who spoke of the current problems of socialism.
