Resolutions condemning the Palestine land ordinance and calling upon the British Government to provide adequate immigration facilities for Jews rendered refugees both before and after the war were unanimously adopted today at a conference of the British Mizrachi Organization, religious Zionist group.
The resolution on the land act expressed regret that “such action had been take in unilateral derogation of the internationally assured rights of the Jewish people which, in Palestine as in the world over, had ranged itself on the side of the Allies in a struggle which they declare is waged in defence of the rights of small peoples.”
Prof. Selig Brodetsky, head of the political department of the Jewish Agency Executive in London, and president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, in a message denounced the “cruel injustice” of the land act and expressed the conviction that the magnanimity of the British people would undo the “present act of injustice.”
