American Palestine Committee Launches Drive Among Christians

The American Palestine Committee has launched a nation-wide drive to mobilize American public opinion in support of the movement to establish a Jewish national home in Palestine. This was announced during the week-and by Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York and Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, cochairmen of the Committee.

In a formal statement Senators McNary and Wagner pointed out that “in the years between two world wars, the Jewish National Home has received moral and political support from the United States under successive administrations, regardless of party,” and declared that by joining the American Palestine Committee, Americans “will strengthen the hands of the American Government in its traditional support of the Jewish National Home policy, and hearten the homeless Jews of Europe with the assurance that the pledge to rebuild the Jewish Homeland will be redeemed with our help.”
