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. (Continued on Page 6) . In This Issue —Photos by Press .Association, Inc.
