Addressing a meeting of Czech Jews, Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk of the exiled Czech Government today appealed to Czech Jews, regardless of political and ideological differences, to unite in support of Palestine.

Mrs. Israel Sieff charged a conspiracy to exclude Palestine Jewry’s contribution to the war effort. She said “Palestine units are always referred to as ‘Arabs and Jews,’ but the truth is that they comprise 10,000 Jews and 2,500 Arabs.”
