The Cleveland City Council, at its meeting this evening, went on record as the first large city Council in the United States to protest in the name of its million inhabitants of all nationalities against the Palestine outrages. The City Council adopted a resolution sponsored by the Jewish councilman, Charles Sacks.
Expressing regret for the unwarranted attacks and massacres and full sympathy with the aspirations for a Jewish National Homeland in Palestine, in accordance with the spirit and terms of the Balfour Declaration, the resolution declared: “We sustain President Hoover as well as all American statesmen and citizens in their profound sympathy for the Jewish settlement in Palestine which has exhibited unparalleled heroism in their self-defense and in defense of the principles of justice which have been recreated in the regenerated Palestine and that we urge upon Great Britain to restore law, security and order in Palestine, to the end that peace and harmony may again prevail.”
