United Nations Agency to Solve Refugee Problem
Demanded by Jewish War Emergency Conference
Shaarey Zedek Library Exhibiting
"Contribution of the Jew to America"
ATLANTIC CITY (WNS) —
The establishment of an interna-
tional agency by the United Na-
tions to solve the refugee prob-
lem, with ample funds, with pow-
er to enforce its decisions and
with direct representation by
few:, , was urged here at the
opening session of he War Emer-
gency Conference of the World
Jewish Congress.
'1'lle conference, the first inter-
national Jewish gathering since
the outbreak of the war, was
called by the World Jewish Con-
4 gress to effectuate a constructive
program for the postwar rehabili-
tation of the survivors of Jewry
everywhere.
Welcoming the 310 delegates
from representing 45 countries,
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman
of the administrative committee
of the World Jewish Congress,
declared that "Jewish rehabilita-
tion cannot be the exclusive and
primary task of Jews themselves."
With survived European Jewry
reduced to the virtual status of
beggars, it "would be impossible
to place on the Jewish commun-
ity the sole task," he asserted.
Declaring that the refugees are
the responsibility of the democ-
racies who, he said, had been
amply warned since 1933 of the
fate awaiting Jewry under Hit-
ler,. Dr. Goldman added: "The
reply to our warnings were rou-
tine measures, red tape and the
rejection of measures proposed
by us and other Jewish organi-
zations. And what was done was
too late or too little. When we
asked them to intervene with
Germany the reply was that anti-
Jewish policies are the internal
affair of a country whose sover-
eignty forbids other countries to
intervene. When we asked the
opening of doors to other coun-
tries, especially Palestine, the re-
ply was that immigration poli-
cies are the internal affairs of a
sovereign state. And England's
appeasement policy toward the
Arabs led the English to shut the
doors of Palestine at a time
when their opening was more es-
sential than ever before."
Tho Program
Outlining a program of Jewish
demands to the Allied nations,
Dr. Goldmann urged:
1. Jewish rights be restored
where they had been abrogated
and Jewish property should be
restored as far as is possible. "It
would be adding mockery to
t ragedy, were non-Jewish indi-
viduals and communities and gov-
ernments to become the heirs to
property which, if not legally,
certainly morally belongs to the
Jewish community and must be
used for rebuilding the Jewish
life and a Jewish future," Dr.
Goldmann said.
2. Jews be given international
help at least as much as all the
other European peoples. "Jewish

Goldmann explained, "cannot be
