Jews Won’t Surrender Rights, Shertok Asserts

A delegation of Palestine Jewish leaders arrived here yesterday to organize the Polish Jewish campaign in behalf of the Jewish National Fund.

At a press conference last night, Moshe Shertok, head of the political department of the Jewish Agency, declared it was not known when the British Government would publish its statement of policy on Palestine but the London conference threw light on the general lines of the future policy. “We cannot force upon the British Government our view with regard to British interests,” he said. “Our loyalty to Britain is not the loyalty of subjects but of allies. We will not surrender our rights and will not substitute for the loyalty of allies the loyalty of subjects.”

Mr. Shertok appealed for intensification of practical work in Palestine, declaring that only actual achievements there would enable the Jews to “smash the walls erected against us.”
