Great Britain and Palestine must fight back to back against the Nazi hordes if the cause of human freedom is to survive the war, Sir Norman Angell, Nobel Prize winner and noted British author, told a conference of the United Palestine Appeal here yesterday.
Sir Norman’s speech sounded the keynote of the conference, whose 500 delegates adopted a resolution urging that all possible financial assistance be rushed to Palestine in order to strengthen that Near Eastern bastion.
Sir Norman predicted that the British Government would shortly accept the offer of the Jewish Agency for Palestine to establish a Jewish legion, 100,000 strong, to fight side by side with British forces.
