Description:
Describes the JPFO's active proposal for JPFO veterans to support proposed action by the Jewish War Veterans (JWV) to lobby Secretary of State Marshall to bring in a UN Mandate for Palestine, and remove British troops in Palestine. In effect it proposes to convince the JWV as well as enlist its own members in this campaign.
Notes:
The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
