Israel, Palestine, Zionism - Description:
- Telegram from the American Jewish Conference to the JPFO regarding the US government's hesitation to take a firm stand on the issue of Palestine, urging the JPFO to immediately embark on a campaign to have all of its branches and allies wire the US government's UN delegation to support the UNSCOP [United Nations Special Committe on Palestine] recommendations.
- 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.
