RESPONDING TO THE PLEA, “ON TO THE GALILEE!” THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PALESTINE LAND REDEMPTION LAST NIGHT VOTED A $250,000 GIFT-BOND CAMPAIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE HULEH CONCESSION, IN ADDITION TO A $2,000,000 JEWISH NATIONAL FUND BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.

MORGAN JONES, MEMBER OF THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, ADDRESSING YESTERDAY AFTERNOON’S SESSION, CONDEMNED THE PROPOSED PARTITION OF PALESTINE. DECLARING WESTERN NATIONS WERE HONOR-BOUND TO ESTABLISH A JEWISH HOMELAND, HE CALLED IT A CRIME FOR NATIONS TO ALLOW THE GREAT WORK OF JEWISH REDEMPTION TO BE ARRESTED. HE SAID THE ROYAL COMMISSION’S SUGGESTIONS WERE UNWORKABLE, AND EMPHASIZED THAT EUROPEAN NATIONS AND THE UNITED STATES COULD NOT ESCAPE THEIR PLEDGE TO THE JEWS.
OTHER SPEAKERS INCLUDED RABBI JOACHIM PRINZ, DR. WISE, WHO SPOKE BY TELEPHONE FROM NEW HAVEN, AND ABRAHAM GOLDBERG.
LABOR ZIONIST DELEGATES, AT A SPECIAL CONFERENCE, PLEDGED ESTABLISHMENT OF A COLONY IN PALESTINE IN THE NAME OF VICE-PREMIER LEON BLUM OF FRANCE, AND RESOLVED TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO RAISE THE GREATEST PORTION OF THE NECESSARY FUNDS THE FIRST YEAR.
