Attacks Zionist Leaders, But
Realizes Obligation to
Co-Religionists Abroad
" PHILADELPHIA (JPS)—At-
tacking Zionist leaders for speak-
ing of the need of finding new
homes for millions of European
Jews after the war, the latest is-
sue of the Information Bulletin
of the American Council for
Judaism declares that "we have
at least the obligation to our co-
religionists abroad not to make
their future more otifficult by
conjuring up to then' behalf a
frightening bogey of enormous
mass emigration."
The Bulletin states that "the
sombre figures of the surviving
Jewish population . of Europe
contradict the wild talk of mil-
lions of European Jews ready for
mass emigration." Referring to
Zionist testimony at House hear-
ings on the J e w is h Common-
wealth resolution, the Bulletin
says: "Thus a frightening picture
was drawn of millions of Jews
knocking at the gates of other
countries; a picture that certain-
ly left its impression upon ev-
ery restrictionist Congressman."
