A protest against the consistent refusal of Zionist leaders to admit converts into the movement was voiced by the “Catholic Herald” here.

The “Herald” which is the organ of the Catholic Guild of Israel, a missionary organization, states that persons of Jewish race who have accepted Christianity and who assert that they have not ceased to be Jews racially are not admitted to the Zionist movement.

“Whenever Christians of Jewish parentage apply for membership in the Zionist Organization, they are told that their being Christians disqualifies them. Every race has members of varying religious faiths.” the paper states.
