The Jewish Agency Executive met yesterday to consider the question of funds to finance a large-scale program of constructive activity in Palestine as a Jewish reply to Britain’s Holy Land policy. With Eliezer Kaplan, Agency treasurer, participating, the Executive discussed the progress made in the negotiation of a ?1,000,000 loan and also the question of implementing an old agreement with the Czech Government for transfer of L500,000 to Palestine, which has been blocked by the German occupation of Czechoslovakia.
Meanwhile, the Bishop of Durham declared in a letter to The Times that the British policy was bringing discredit on Britain’s name and arousing “a deep and general feeling of disgust and humiliation” throughout the English-speaking world.
