Moslem India has been “shocked” by the support for Jewish Commonwealth in Palestine voiced at the British Labor Party’s conference last week by Hugh Dalton, former president of the Board of Trade, according to Mahomed Ali Jinnah, president of the Indian Moslem League.
Jinnah is queted in the Times today as declaring that the Dalton statement has aroused great resentment. He called on Clement Attlee, Labor Party leader, to clarify the party’s official attitude on Palestine without delay since the remarks by Dalton are “bound to alienate and exasperate the Moslem world and lead to the most disastrous consequences.”
It was announced today that Chief Rabbi Joseph Hertz has agreed to become honorary president of the Jewish Dominion of Palestine League, which is headed by Lord itrabolgi. The League disclosed that it plans to sound out all parliamentary candidates on their attitude towards free Jewish immigration into Palestine and the admittance of Palestine, as a self-governing dominion, into the British Commonwealth of Britons.
