Big 4 Ministers to Oppose
Reparations in Peace Treaty

An About Face

LONDON, (JTA)—The Moscow Conference of the Big
Four Foreign Ministers is expected to oppose the inclusion
in the peace treaty with Germany of provisions for repara-
tions for Jews.
Indications point to the fact the question of compensation
for uprooted Jews is likely to be left to each government to

deal with individually. The-
Polish government, for example,
is asking for the restitution of
property to Jewish nationals of
Poland who lived in Germany
before. the war, outside of the
framework of general repara-
tions.
No government intends to ask
for a revision of the schedule of
proportional distribution of rep-
aration from Germany as estab-
lished by the Potsdam and Paris
Conferences. The latter granted
.,$25,000,000 for the rehabilitation
of displaced Jews.

JDC, ORT Announce Unification
Of Training Programs in Europe

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Unification of the vocational
training programs of the Joint Distribution Committee
and the World ORT Union was made known in a joint
announcement by Edward M. M. Warburg, chairman of
the Joint Distribution Committee, and George Backer,
president of the World ORT Union and American ORT
Federation.
The vocational training programs of the two agen-
cies, which are in operation in almost all countries of
Europe, with special emphasis on the requirements of
displaced Jews in Germany and Austria, will be admin-
istered by ORT and financed by the JDC with funds
raised through the United Jewish Appeal campaign.
Under the terms of the agreement the ORT will receive
an initial grant of $2,000,000 from the JDC this year and
refrain from fund-raising activities in the United States
during the year 1947. However, the World ORT Union
will be able to continue its fund-raising activities out-
side the United States.

(JDC and ORT received their income in Detroit
through the Allied Jewish Campaign, whose goal
this year has been set at $5,335,000).

GEN. FREDERICK MORGAN

-last year was charged with hav-
ing made anti-Semitic statements
concerning Jewish refugees from
Eastern Europe, appealed to the
British government to admit
250,000 displaced persons, pgrtic-
ularly Jews, to Britain.
Referring to the displaced Jews,
he said: "It is inconceivable they
should stay on the scene of their
decimation among people who
butchered their nearest and dear-
est." He advised they be admitted
"not as expatriated minorities,
but as the families of our friends."
He also charged UNRRA had
failed "notoriously" in its DP
operations.
