Increased Jewish effort for the upbuilding of Palestine is the best answer to the British government’s White Paper, declared David Ben-Gurion, general secretary of the Palestine Jewish Labor Federation, on his arrival in this country on Thursday. Mr. Ben-Gurion is to participate in the American Jewish Labor convention on behalf of Palestine which is taking place this week-end in New York City at Beethoven Hall.
“The Jewish workers of Palestine are proud of the things for which they were criticized by the Colonial Office in the White Paper,” said Mr. Ben-Gurion. “The Histadruth is convinced that in its aims and aspirations it has the support of the entire Jewish labor world, and of the British and international labor movement as well. We know what disappointment the White Paper caused in the British Labor Party itself and we have no doubt as to the attitude of the entire Socialist Internationale.”
