Acting Prime Minister A. W. Fadden has voiced Australia’s “sympathetic attitude” towards formation of a Jewish army in Palestine to fight for defense of the Near East, the Zionist Organization of America reported today.
His statement was made in response to a memorandum submitted by the Zionist Organization of New South Wales. (A JTA dispatch on March 4 said Fadden was forwarding the memorandum to Prime Minister Menzies, in London.)
