Dr. Carl Hermann Voss and Dean Howard M. LeSourd, co-directors of the American Christian Palestine Committee, today cabled their “deep admiration and gratitude for the courageous statement” made yesterday by Monsignor Ignatz Mourberak, Archbishop of the Maronite Church in Beirut, Lebanon, who charged that a sub-committee of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine, which took testimony in Lebanon, did not hear the true voice of Lebanese public opinion.
“Your forthright declaration is striking evidence that believers in truth and justice throughout the world are resolved to advance the cause of a Jewish Palestine, and will not be silenced by the reactionary forces of the Arab League and colonial imperialism,” Dr. Voss and Dean LeSourd said in their cable to Monsignor Mourbarak.
