MR.. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,

and interests in the postwar settlement. Such
a policy has been adopted with remarkable
degree of unity by delegations coming from
Jewish communities and organizations in over
80 countries. Considering the wide diversity
of conditions from which the delegates came
and the fact that we had to use no less than
five languages this is in itself remarkable
achievement.
1t will bring new hope to the Jewish people
everywhere and especially to the heroic rem
nants of ancient communities which have sur
vived to maintain the immemorial tradition Of
Israel in spite of the Nazi war of humiliation.
I have attended many international confer
ences in various parts of the world but have
found none as memorable and moving as this.
Jews came from countries SCARED by war as
well as from countries that are neutral. They
came from lands which have been lately lber-
ated as well as from states whose freedom has
not been invaded. 1t is obvious that this con-
ference could not have been held and the inn
mense difficulties of international war trans
portation overcome without the good will and
cooperation of many governments. We owe
special debt to the American state department
and to the British foreign office. The represent
alive quality of the conference owes much to
them. 1t was with their help that we were able
to convene the first conference of its kind ever
to be held in the Western Hemisphere and the
first of its kind ever to be held anywhere in
the midst of great war.
One of our most pressing tasks is to make
known to the public opinion of the free cOun.
tries the anxieties and the hopes of the Jewish
people as they have been expressed and in
terpreted by this great representative gather
ing. The appeal of the man in the street is our
most important weapon and for that we need
the help and understanding of the press.
should like to pay warm tribute Of recog.
milton to the work of the conference. 1t re-
quired knowledge, skill and patience to grasp
md han 70 ha
with which we grapple The free press of a
free people did not fail us.
Outstanding among those who gave us
warm cooperation were the representatives OF
the Hearst newspapers. We shall not soon
forget the services they rendered to our cause
which is the cause of human justice and
freedom.

THE cooperation of the press will aid in
i banning racial discrimination forever from
the face Of the earth. Each delegation is going
back to it's country of origin bearing a pro-
posal that anti-dscriminaton bills be made
part and parcel of the laws of their lands The
Hearst newspapers support internationally re-
spected as they are as pillars of journalistic
enterprise, will mean much. Sincerely,

WE, REPRESENTING the Jews of Romania,
w protested here at this conclave against the
absence of any restoration of rights and en-
poyment to Jews SO far as the Romanian
armistice was concerned We feel that the
situation establishes a bad precedent thus we
were happy to see our attitude reflected SO
favorably in the material published in the
Hearst newspapers. With best wishes,

President, United Ronanian Jews
of America.

THE conference was very successful and JUS
i tilted every expectation of its conveners.
Five years of war made necessary the sharing
and imparting of information of what hap
pened to Jews in the various parts Of the
world. The conference offered this opportunity
and from the platform this information was
given to the world at large.
The conference also formulated in a series
of resolutions the moral and legal obligations
