INTERNATIONAL BODY
OF JEWS TO MEET SOON

N ESV YORK—From dispatches to
the Yiddish press here it appears that
the delegates from various lands now
assembled in l'aris for the purpose
of presenting the Jewish claims be-
fore the Peace Conference are con-
fronted by many difficulties in their
effort to come to a harmonious un-
derstanding. It appears that the bone
*initeution is the clause regarding
"national" rights for Jews in differ-
ent lands in eastern Europe, which
forms a plank in the programme of
the American Jewish Congress and of
other Jewish Congresses held in Eu-
rope. The Zionists support this de-
mand. while the representatives of
the Anglo-Jewish Association, of the
Alliance and of the American Jewish
Committee oppose it. Mr. Louis Slam-
shall, the only member of the dele-
gation who enjoys the confidence of
both sides, has been working hard to
bring about some form of agreement,
but so far has not succeeded very
much in his efforts.
