Advertisement

A resolution expressing “deep satisfaction” at the decision of the Government of Dutch Galana to accept in principle the project of the Freeland League for Jewish Colonization to settle large groups of displaced Jews in the country, was adopted here by a conference of 240 representatives of 96 Workmen’s Circle groups.

The resolution also called for abrogation of the White Paper and freedom of immigration to Palestine. A committee of 25 was formed to assist the Freeland Leugue’s activities among Workmen’s Circle branches. Dr. I.N. Stainberg, secretary general of the League, reported on the state of negotiations between his organizations and the Government of Dutch Guians.
