The annual conference of the Liberal party today adopted a resolution asking for the immediate withdrawal of the White Paper on Palestine and the fulfillment by the British Government of the pledge given in the Balfour Declaration to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine.
Adoption of the resolution was preceded by a sharp debate. However, most of the speakers emphasized that British honor is at stake if Palestine remains closed to Jewish immigration under the provisions of the White Paper, and the resolution was thus carried by an overwhelming majority.
