A resolution asking the U.S. government to allot 125,000 unused visas to displaced persons from Europe desiring to enter this country as immigrants and urging a general improvement in State Department visa services was adopted here at the annual convention of the New England Division of the American Jewish Congress.

Another resolution pledged support to the Jewish community of Palestine in any non-cooperation program which it undertakes against the government because the British troops now in the country constitute an occupying power “ruling Palestine as a police state in diametric variance from her rights and in categorical violation of her legal obligations.”
