REPARATIONS, RESTITUTION
OF PROPERTY AND CIVIL
RIGHTS
Ono of the major problems
which the Conference had the
foresight to prepare for at its in-
ception was the . problem of repa-
rations for damages inflicted upon
Jews, and restitution of their
property and civil rights after the
war had comp to a close.
The first sum allocated for rep-
arations for Jews—$22,600,000 from
German external assets to be
used for rehabilitation and reset-
tlement—was granted by the Pa-
ris Reparation Agreement of De-
cember, 1945, after Conference
representations and meetings with
American members of the Allied
Reparations Commission and rep-
resentatives of neutral govern.
ments. Citing the Paris Agreement
as a precedent, the Conference
has proposed to Secretary of State
James F. Byrnes, that a portion
of German external assets in La-
tin America, which the South
American countries are now li-
quidating, should also be set aside
as reparations for Jews. Restitu-
tion of Jewish property in Ger-
many and Austria are part of the
Conference's work in progress.
The Conference has formulated
plans for the creation of a Jewish
Reconstruction Commission which
is to take charge of assets be-
