Joseph C. Hyman, Executive Vice-chairman of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, major American agency for relief to distressed Jews overseas, announced a "major development in the assistance provided by Jew* ish communities in South America to their suffering eo-religionlsts in Europe."

The telegram was signed by Dr.. Hfery A� Atkinson, general seere-tegy of the Church Peace Union; Di Carl J. Friedrtch, Professor of Government at Harvard University; Dr. Daniel A. Poling, areai-dett of the World ChristUn Endeavor Union, and other*. -
�[The democratic ideas which hafe been expressed by the Americans of Arabic-speaking origin obviously do not reflect the concepts of the Palestine Arab political leaders," the message said. "These leaders have talked and acted in terms of Arab domination.
"It is absurd to say that Arab Palestine has 'accepted' Jewish immigrants and refugees. Jews have come into Palestine during the last t*Tnty-fiTir yrars rirspitar tht intransigeant opposition of the Arab political leaders. They have not come by consent of the Arabs, but by the sanction of interna-tiojial law in accordance with tbe League of Nations mandate and with the approval of our own Government and by Act of Con-gross."

The delegation asserted the following were specific Jewish needs:
1. Declaration as null and void of all measures of discrimination^ against Jews and the full restoration of their rights and status.

8. Apprehension, trial and punishment of the instigators and perpetrators of the erimes against Jews and Jewish people since 1038.
4. Restitution and reparation for losses suffered by Jewish communities and individual victims of Nasi and Fascist murder and spoliation.
6. Recognition of the prinefele that the Jewish people are entitled to a collective reparation for the material and moral looses suffered by the Jewish people, its institutions or individual Jews who are unable to present their individual
