(Rec. 10 p.m.)

LONDON, April 4,

A 12-point plan for “the speedy and effective rescue of Jews threatened with massacre at the hands of the Nazis” was discussed at a conference of British-Jewish religious congregations and lay institutions in London.

Some of the suggested measures were the possibility of an approach to German and other Axis and satellite governments with a proposal to allow Jews, and particularly Jewish children, to leave enemy-controlled areas, use of the specially favourable opportunities for refuge in Palestine, and the provision of visas for use at the discretion of consuls of the governments of neutral countries, particularly Spain, Portugal, and Turkey.
