The United States government was asked to end trade relations with the German government and to condemn Nazi persecution of the Jews in a resolution adopted yesterday at the annual encampment of the Jewish War Veterans which closes tomorrow night.
Another resolution endorsed the Jewish National Fund $500,000 campaign for redemption of land in Palestine. The resolution, adopted unanimously, called on war veterans to assist in acquiring larger land areas in Palestine. The resolution was presented by Ben Levy of Boston.
In an address to the convention, Attorney General John J. Bennett lauded Governor Lehman for his earlier speech against the Nazis and urged united action of Catholics and Jews against persecution in Germany.
A resolution reaffirming J. W. V. support of the Anti-Nazi boycott was adopted after Governor Lehman had delivered his first denunciation of recent German persecutions in which he mentioned Germany by name.
