A conference of orthodox Jews on Palestine, called by the non-Zionist Agudath Israel, today appealed to the British Government to “open Palestine’s gates to the sons of the Jewish people once driven from there and now ousted and persecuted everywhere.” A resolution said that “no human power will destroy the eternal bond between the Jewish people and the Jewish land, and any attempt to curtail Jewish rights, for whatever reason, will be regarded as an onslaught on the most sacred interests of the Jewish people.” Executive committees of all Zionist organizations in Poland telegraphed to Dr. Chaim Weizmann a message of encouragement, pledging that Poland’s 5,500,000 Jews would bend their efforts and make sacrifices to preserve Jewish rights in the Holy Land and enable large-scale immigration.
