The question of whether Britain considers it is visable to establish a War Refugee Board of its own to cooperate with the agency established by the Government of the United States will be raised next week in the House of Commons, it was learned here today. It will be directed to Prime Minister Winston Churchill by Daniel Lipson, Independent Conservative.
The Manchester Guardian, in an editorial devoted to the Jewish refugees who reached Palestine on the Portuguese Linen Nyzsse, urges the British Government to keep the doors of Palestine open to further transports of Jews from Europe. “What can be done once, can be done many times again,” the paper writes. “It is nonsense and in-human to talk as though we could limit immigration to Palestine to the mere 30,000 Jews still admissible under the White Paper, or that we could allow that evil document to shut the doors of mercy.”
