What is really going on behind the scenes among Jewish
organizations in connection with the Ecumenical Council which
opens its meeting in the Vatican in October? . . . The matter
is so delicate that it requires great restraint on the part of the
Jewish -organizations, and also of the Jewish press, to discuss
openly any aspect of it . . . Jewish groups have submitted serious
requests for consideration by the Council which is the legitimate
gathering of the entire leadership of the Catholic Church ap-

Translation

This is especially true with regard to octogenarian Cardinal
Augustine Bea who is one of the closest men to the Pope and
head of the Council's secretariat dealing with Christian unity ...
It was to him that the .Iewish organizations presented their
memoranda containing important recommendations, and it was
he who was to see that the problems raised in these memoranda
be included in the agenda of the Ecumenical Council . . . It is
known that the Pope—whose friendship to Jews is well known—
has appointed Cardinal Bea as head of the secretariate in order
to have somebody to whom the Jews might address themselves
. . It is also known that the Pope favors discussion of Catholic-
Jewish relations at the Ecumenical Council.
