Differences of opinion within the ranks of the DAIA, central representative body of the Jews of Argentina, were settled this week, when 52 members of the organization voted complete confidence in Dr. Moises Goldmann, president of the DAIA. Two members abstained from voting.

Dr. Goldmann announced that the DAIA will introduce changes in its relief activities for European Jews in order to satisfy some of the emands advanced by the opposition. He also said that he will do everything possible to transform the DAIA into “a direct and democratic representation” of the Jewish community in the country.

A dinner tendered to Dr. Goldmann was attended by about 1,000 leading Jews in Buenos Aires. Speakers included Dr. Moises Cadoche, former DAIA president, Alberto Gerchunoff, noted author and leading political commentator in the Argentina press, and Isaac Arcavi, president of the Zionist Youth Federation.
