JDC Extends Work
To German Camps
PARIS (WNS).—Three groups
of JDC workers have left for the
camps at Bergen-Belsen and Salz-
wedel where 3,000 Jewish inter-
nees are concentrated. Their de-
parture followed the receipt of
official permission from the army
to extend their work into Ger-
many.
It is reported that the Jewish
Agency for Palestine is also ne-
gotiating with the United Na-
tions Relief and Rehabilitation
Agency concerning the rendering
of assistance to Jews in concen-
tration camps and the survivors
of shattered Jewish communities
in Europe.
The officials of the Jewish
Agency are also pressing for
more immigration certificates to
secure the admittance of Jews
released from Buchenwald, Da-
chau, Theresienstadt and other
camps, most of whom have no
place to go. Discussing the re-
cent allotment by the Palestine
Government of 3,000 visas—
which leaves only 1,000 remain-
ing under the White Paper quo-
ta—Mr. Dobkin said:
"We never knew such pain as
in distributing these certificates.
We allotted 700 to rescue 31,000
refugees in Switzerland; for
Italy, 140 were allotted to 1,000
persons clamoring for admission,
including 300 orphans; to Bel-
gium and Holland, 400 were al-
lotted to save 48,000 people,
among whom there are 2,500
Belgian orphans.
More than 70,000 Jews were
found in the concentration camps
in Germany and the most tragic
problem is that of those who are
stateless and face new intern-
ment, and whose only demand
and hope is immigration to Pal-
estine."

Czechs to Return
Property to Jews
PRAGUE (WNS). — President
Eduard Benes has issued a de-
cree invalidating all Nazi-forced
sales of property.
Jewish circles here believe that
the invalidation order foreshad-
ows the return of Jewish prop-
erty to the rightful owners.
These circles also pointed out that
very few Jewish survivors remain
to claim the property.
A high official here declared
that the Czechoslovakian govern-
ment is taking a serious view of
the anti-Jewish sentiments exist-
ing in Slovakia and that meas-
ures will be taken by govern-
ment officials to meet the situa-
tions. These sources also dis-
closed that factories which had
been sequestered from Jews
would be administered by the
state and returned to the lawful
owner when proper proof of own-
ership is submitted.
State Department
Bulletin Deals With
Displaced Jews
WASHINGTON (WNS).-0ffi-
cial recognition of the problem
of the displaced Jews of Europe
is taken in the current issue of
the State Department Bulletin.
The State Department organ
says that while the Jewish part
of the problem is relatively small
as compared to the vaster dis-
placed European population, it
nevertheless is "a matter of in-
ternational importance and con-
cern."
Despite the end of Nazi reli-
gious and racial persecutions in
Germany, as a result of its de-
feat by the Allies, large numbers
of Jews exiled from the Reich
will not want to return there,
says the article.
They point out that no relia-
ble data is available on the num-
ber of Jews killed by the Nazis
since 1939 and little is known
concerning how many fled or
were transported or placed in
concentration camps.
LONDON (WNS).— Following
Prime Minister Churchill's recent
statement in Commons on the
Syrian and Lebanon issue, well-
informed observers predicted that
the British Government was de-
termined not to permit the Pal-
estine question to be dragged
into the forthcoming interna-
tional discussions on the Levant Buy that Extra War Bond and
