Anonymous Anti-zionist and Anti-british Propaganda Floods New York Mail

Postal authorities here were puzzled today over the flood of anonymous anti-Zionist and anti-British propaganda sent by unknown sources through the mails, some of it being mailed from New York and some from Jersey City. N.J.

Propaganda material mailed yesterday to men of prominence and to editors of various American publications included a resolution allegedly passed by the Indian National Congress Party, controlled by Gandhi-Nehru, stating that “the Congress deplores that in Palestine the Jews have relied on British armed forces to advance their special privileges.”

Declaring that the resolution had been passed at the Tripuri session of the party, on March 11, 1939, the anonymous material, printed on a U.S. postcard but carrying no signature and no return address of the sender, quoted the text as follows: “The Congress has previously declared its full sympathy with the Arabs in Palestine in their struggle for national freedom and their fight against British Imperialism and has condemned the policy of the mandatory power in Palestine. Subsequent events have disclosed the continuance of a reign of terror maintained by the British army and policy in the name of law and order. The courage, determination and sacrifices made by the Arabs in the struggle have evoked the admiration of the people of India who desire to convey to them again their greetings and good wishes for the complete success in the attainment of their objectives.

“While sympathizing with the plight of the Jews in Europe and elsewhere, the Congress deplores that in Palestine the Jews have relied on British armed forces to advance their special privileges and thus aligned themselves on the side of British Imperialism. The Congress trusts that the Arabs will endeavor to find a basis….. to establishing an independent democratic state in Palestine.”
