Praising the government of Israel for the “scrupulous manner” in which it respected the sanctity of the Holy Places in Palestine, the A.C.P.C, especially singled out the recent Israel action which “in the midst of a war offered all facilities for the Christiana In Israel to celebrate the Holy Day of Christmas in keeping with the dignity and tradition of that revered festival.”
