RESTITUTION from Germany
The E.C.A.J. submitted the proposed text of a resolution regarding Policy on Jewish claims against Germany. This matter is to be discussed at a Conference on Jewish Claims, to be held in New York on 14th January, and directions have to be sent to the representative of the E.C.A.J. Dr. Perlzweig. The question is whether negotiations are to be conducted direct with Germany or through the United Nations. The E.C.A.J. expressed the view that negotiations should be conducted NOT direct with Germany, but through the United Nations.
After a lengthy discussion the following resolution was adopted: "Not being familiar with the subject the Hobart Hebrew Congregation is prepared to follow the lead given by Melbourne that negotiations be conducted through the United Nations." moved by Mr. H. Jacob, seconded by Mr. Epstein. (voting 4 in favour, 2 against).
