Judge Mack said:
This IL not the time nor the occasion
for me to report on the work OF the
American Jewish Congress delegation to

the delegates shall have returned, and
when our efforts and those OF the men
who worked heart and soul with us shall
be absolutely crowned with success. a
full report of all of the activities will be
rendered. But tonight we are gathered

Delegations, Assembled In Paris, the man
who has stood in the forefront of the

wild applause. He said that he did not
