Federation Convention Closes
Meyers Elected National President;
Budgeting Overwhelmingly Defeated
Outgoing and Incoming Presider.
The 14th annual General Assembly of the Council
of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds which closed
Monday, Feb. 11, after three days of sessions was one of
the most momentous in the history of that organization.
The issue of National Advisory Budgeting which had
been before the member agencies of the Council since
1941 was resolved when the communities voted 263 1% to
53 , 4 not to accept the proposal •
in full but rather accepted unani-
mously a resolution offered by its
Western States Region and Beryl
Manischewitz of Newark, which
provide.] "that the Council's fact
finding service be continued and
expanded so that a maximum of
available information on agency
programs, financial expense, and
agency needs is provided to local
communities," including audited
reports by the Council's own aud-
itors, determination of overlapping
services, gaps in service. At the
same time, the delegates pledged
themselves to recommend to their
respective communities to provide
sufficient funds to enable the.
Council to implement these serv-
ices.
The debate on the question was
marked by a spirit of good will
which dominated the entire As-
sembly.
Elect Meyers President
The Assembly unanimously el-
ected Stanley C. Meyers, outstand-
ing Miami community leader, na-
tional president ..of the Council,
succeeding Sidney Hollander of
Baltimore, who had served seven
years. The following four were
elected vice - presidents: Harris
Perlstein, of Chicago; William Ro-
senwald, of New York; Samuel S.
Schneierson, of New York, and

Not to Repatriate
Jewish Refugees
Ch inese
SHANGHAI (WNS) — A peti-
tion urging the Chinese Govern-
ment not to view Jewish refugees
as enemy aliens subject to repat-
riation was presented here to the
Chinese Foreign Ministers by a
delegation representing the Cen-
tral Committee of Jewish Refu-
gees from Europe.
The petition impressed upon
the authorities that in enforcing
the Government's order providing
for the forced repatriation of ref-
ugees from Germany and Austria,
special consideration should be
given to the Jewish refugees from
those countries "who prayed for
the liberation of Shanghai and
China."
Pointing out that "after eight
years of insecurity, persecution,
isoli4 .tion and ilfe in contentration-
camps under the Nazis and the
Japanese, we are concerned over
the possibility of being placed in
a similar situation," the petition
expressed the hope that the Chi-
nese Government will "display its
good will as one of the Big Five
in the United Nations Organiza-
tion" and allow the Jewish refu-
gees to remain in Shanghai.

(JTA Correspondent)
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
general outlines of the case that
the Palestine Government will
present to the Anglo-American
inquiry committee, when it holds
hearings here next month, are
becoming apparent.
It is learned from reliable sour•
ces that the Government will
claim that the Zionist demands
for a Jewish state cannot and
,should not be fulfilled for the fol-
lowing reasons:
1. The large-scale development
of the Jewish Agency — particu-
larly the Lowdermilk scheme —
are not feasible, because the Gov-
ernment is preparing to freeze
Palestine water resources, as it
has frozen the bulk of the tillable
land. A draft of such regulations
has already been prepared.

Government will bolster this point
by submitting statistics on the
number of Jews throughout the
world who have purchased "shek-

token that the buyer supports
Zionist aims.
