More than 100 members of the faculty of Oxford University and leaders of all the student political clubs today adopted a resolution protesting the British Government’s failure to take adequate steps to rescue European Jewry. The resolution also demanded that immigration restrictions on the entry of refugees to Britain and Palestine be eased and that arrangements be made to secure sanctuary in other places also for the Jews fleeing Nazi-held countries. Copies of the resolution were sent to Prime Minister Churchill, Foreign Secretary Eden and Home Secretary Morrison.
The Manchester Guardian reports that great disappointment is felt in Parliamentary circles which have attempted to secure Government action to aid the Jews of Europe. These circles feel that the Government “has thrown in the sponge” although actually the difficulties involved are not insurmountable. They feel that at the very least, the authorities should agree to admit every refugee who is able to reach here, the Guardian writes.
