The establishment of Irgun Basra
at this time, these Jewish leaders
said, was a further manifestation
that the Yisv (Jewish commun-
ity of Palesae) was concerned
primarily with the uninterrupted
development of the land.
Irgun Basra will provide homes
for the families of 40. young per-
sons who came to Palestine orig-
inally as part of the Youth Aliyah
movement and during the war en-
listed in the British Army, serving
with the Royal Engineers in the
Persian Gulf port city of Basra,
astride the main Allied supply
route to Russia. The founding of
the new settlement represented
the joint efforts of the Jewish Na-
tional Fund, which proVided 500
dunams of land for the-settlement,
and the Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine, which made an initial grant
of $80,000 towards the establish-
ment of Irgun Basra. Both the
Jewish National Fund and the
Jewish Agency receive financial
assistance from the United Pales-
titte Appeal, a UJA agency.

MUNICH (JTA)—A report pub-
lished in the American press to
the effect that the shipment of
American soldiers' wives to Ger-
many has been delayed because of
the influx of displaced persons
into the American zone, which has
caused a "critical housing situa-
tion," was termed -a "malicious
lie" jity representatives of the
UNRRA and of Voluntary relief
organizations.
Army officers also condemned
the report, emphasizing that by no
stretch of the imagination could
anyone visualize a situation where
any American civilian, or member
of the military personnel would
wish to keep his family in the
camps occupied by displaced per-
sons.
The report, credited to the U.S.
Army in Frankfort, apparently
grew out of an announcement
made in Frankfort that a special
ArMy board has been appointed
to investigate the reasons for de-
laying the shipments of depend-
ents from the U.S. This announce-
ment in no way blamed the dis-
placed persons, or anybody else,
for the housing shortage.

LONDON, (JTA)—The first International Conference of
Christians and Jews has decided to urge the Paris Peace
Conference to include in all treaties safeguards of human
rights and fundamental freedoms.
The Conference, which held its final session this week,
"also decided to create an International Council to Promote
Jewish-Christian relations and to
set up machinery to combat anti-
Semitism in Europe. The Council
Will encourage research into racial
and religious problems and dis-
seminate the results of its investi-
gations.
The Conference adopted a reso-
lution recognizing the fact that
anti-Semitism was the worst of
the existing group tensions "be-
cause throughout history attacks,
on Jews have. been attacks upon
the Judeo-Christian foundations
of society and have been used by
dictators as a spearhead of the
attacks against democracy."
" Another resolution drew at-
tention to the tragedy of the dis-
placed persons of diverse races
and creeds, and urged that new
homes be found for them where
they can rebuild their lives in
freedom, dignity and security.

Jewish Press Service
The National Socialist Govern-
ment of Britain, through its Home
Secretary, has sanctimoniously
disavowed the anti-Semitic order
of the day issued by General Bark-
er in Palestine. The Labor Party's
official organ, the Daily Herald,
has similarly disavowed the tone
of General Barker's non-fraterni-
zation order. General Barker is a
Tory,' and the British National
Socialists, still parading before the
world as ',he real Socialist McCoy,
are not particularly reluctant to
dtnounce in a Tory a pattern of
anti-Semitism first set forth by
Foreign Secretary Bevin, Laborite.
It is equally amusing that the
Daily Herald denounced state-
ments made by Barker which ap-
pear to have been inspired by anti-
Semitic labels about Tel Aviv, pub-
lished by the Daily Herald more
than a fortnight ago.

LONDON, (JTA)—For the first
time in several years, a joint Jew-

growers, consisting of four Jews
and four Arabs, has arrived here
to open negotiations with the
Ministry of Food for disposal of
their crops.
The delegation expects to pro-
ceed to the continent following its
discussions here. The Jewish
members of the group left Tel
Aviv on the first day of the Brit-
ish raid and were escorted in mili-
tary cars to Lydda, where they
boarded a plane.
