A number of important questions concerning national minorities in different countries, including the Jewish minority will be taken up by the Congress of National Minorities which will open here on August 29th., a few days before the opening of the session of the League of Nations Council. Mr. Leo Motzkin is expected to be chairman of the opening session of the Congress.
The agenda of the Congress includes a series of questions concerning the practical situation of different national minorities in various countries. An extensive report about the situation of these minorities will be submitted to the Congress by its Secretariat. Representatives of the Jewish minorities from the most important countries in Central Europe will participate in the Congress, which will, among other things, also consider the question of disarmament as far as it concerns the national minorities.
