Resolutions urging the British Government to abrogate the White Paper, in conformity with previous Labor Party resolutions, and enable the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish State with equal rights for Arabs, was today submitted to the opening session of the party’s annual convention here by the Labor Zionist Party of Great Britain.
In his opening address to the convention, Harold Laski, chairman of the party’s executive, called on Britain to admit 100,000 displaced Jews to Palestine as recommended by the joint inquiry committee and give the Jews again “a possibility for a creative life in Palestine.”

Other resolutions which have been submitted to the conference call for outlawing and suppression of fascist activity in Britain and urge that refugees from fascism who have lived in the country for over five years be permitted to remain and that their naturalization be facilitated.
