The telegrams from the Moslems of India containing the resolutions adopted at the recent All-India Palestine Conference have been referred to the Cabinet, declared Wedgewood Benn, Secretary of State for India, in the House of Commons in replying to a question from Howard Bury M.P., who also called attention to the resolution adopted at the Conference calling for a celebration of Palestine Day throughout India, Burma and Ceylon May 16 and to the anxieties of 70,000,000 Indian-Moslems.
Mr. Benn promised Lord Winterton to see that the Premier and Lord Passfield, the Colonial Minister, receive copies of the resolutions which had been supported by the most responsible Moslems in India.
