Enforce Balfour Declaration, Britain Urged by Warsaw Parley on Palestine

A NATION-WIDE CONFERENCE ON PALESTINE URGED GREAT BRITAIN TODAY TO CARRY OUT THE BALFOUR DECLARATION AS THE ONLY MEANS OF RESTORING ORDER, AND DEMANDED EXTERMINATION OF TERRORISM IN THE HOLY LAND.

THE 2,000 DELEGATES, FROM ALL PARTS OF POLAND EXCEPT GALICIA, ADOPTED AN APPEAL TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DESCRIBING THE JEWS’ SELF-SACRIFICING WORK IN THE FACE OF THE PALESTINE GOVERNMENT’S “VACILLATING POLICY” AND ASKING THAT THE JEWS BE GIVEN THE MEANS FOR SELF-DEFENSE.

URGING A STRONG HAND TO END “CHAOS AND INSECURITY,” THE APPEAL SAID THAT IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BALFOUR DECLARATION WAS A MATTER OF HISTORIC JUSTICE AND THE ONLY MEANS OF BRINGING ORDER, PEACE AND THE RULE OF LAW TO PALESTINE.

THE CONFERENCE ALSO DEMANDED REMOVAL OF RESTRICTIONS ON JEWISH IMMIGRATION AND AUTHORIZED ITS PRESIDIUM TO SEND, IF NECESSARY, A DELEGATION TO THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO PRESENT POLISH JEWRY’S IMMIGRATION DEMANDS.

BEFORE CLOSING WITH THE SINGING OF “HATIKVAH,” THE CONFERENCE SENT GREETINGS TO THE PALESTINE JEWS AND DECLARED THE FIGHT FOR PALESTINE WAS CLOSELY CONNECTED WITH THE FIGHT FOR POLITICAL RIGHTS IN THE DIASPORA.

ISAAC BEN-ZVI, PRESIDENT OF THE PALESTINE JEWISH NATIONAL COUNCIL, DESCRIBED TO THE CONFERENCE THE “HEROIC BEHAVIOR” AND SELF-RESTRAINT OF THE PALESTINE JEWS. HE SAID NO FORCE ON EARTH COULD PREVENT CREATION OF A JEWISH STATE.

OTHER SPEAKERS WERE RABBI MEIR BERLIN, HONORARY PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD MIZRACHI ORGANIZATION, AND JOSEPH SPRINZAK, LABOR LEADER, BOTH OF WHOM ALSO CAME FROM PALESTINE.

A PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE PALESTINE DELEGATES RECEIVED AN ANONYMOUS TELEGRAM IN HEBREW WHICH SAID: “DEATH TO THE TRAITORS BEN-ZVI, BERLIN, SPRINZAK.”

ZIONIST-REVISIONISTS, WHO WERE BARRED FROM THE CONFERENCE, DISTRIBUTED CIRCULARS ATTACKING THE BRITISH ADMINISTRATION IN PALESTINE AND ALSO THE JEWS’S POLICY OF SELF-RESTRAINT IN DEALING WITH ARAB DISORDERS.
