'Pro Forma' Hearing Only Hope
For Jewry at Allied Conclave
Select Jewish Conference, Committee
As Spokesmen at San Francisco Meet
By PHILIP SLOMOVITZ
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Our nation's capital, now recognized as
the center of the world whence comes the strongest influence for the
solution of the serious problems involving victory, the coming peace
and mankind's security, has become the gathering place for the most
important Jewish delegations from all parts of the globe. Spokesmen
for all factions in Jewry are here to plead for a hearing for the
Jewish case at the United Nations Security Conference at San Fran-
cisco, opening April 25, and to get recognition for their groups • from
our government.
The current low-down in Washington affecting the Jewish posi-
tion is that the answers to Jewish appeals are not satisfactory and
that great disappointment is in store for our people.
But the selection of the American Jewish Conference and Amer-
ican Jewish Committee as the Jewish consultants provided a measure
of hope for the consideration' of the Jewish position by the Allied
Powers.
Major considerations involved in the presentation of the Jewish
case before important government officials include the following:
1. The appeals that Jews be given a hearing at San Francisco.
Note that there is no longer any talk of asking for a seat for the Jewish
people at the San Francisco conference. Having been denied the status
of nationhood, we are denied .a seat on a par with the very smallest
peoples of the globe. The recognition given the Jewish Agency for
Palestine in the peace treaty after the last War is now being completely
ignored.
