Four members of the executive of the Jewish Agency left today for London to confer with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in connection with urgent developments which may follow President Truman’s counter-plan for Palestine.
The executive of the Jewish Agency, now in session here, will not resume its meetings until the four return. They are expected back tomorrow. They include Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Eliezer Kaplan, Dr. Nahum Goldmann and Berl Locker.
Last night the Agency executive here issued a statement charging the British Government with attempting to “defend a regime of injustice and violation of international obligations” which it accepted under the Palestine Mandate.
The statement pointed out that if the principle of immigration to the extent of the economic absorptive capacity of Palestine had been observed by the British, thousands of Jews could have entered Palestine before the war.
