A resolution on Palestine which will be presented to the American Jewish Conference by the National Women’s League of the United Synagogues was adopted here at a three-day conference of the League attended by more than a hundred delegates from every part of the United States.
The resolution urges “that the gates of Palestine remain open for Jewish settlers; that the Jewish Agency for Palestine be vested with the control of Jewish immigration into Palestine, and that Palestine be established as a Jewish Common-wealth where the Jew might live as of right and not on sufferance.”
The conference was called by Mrs. Samuel Spiegel, national president of the League, for the purpose of formulating plans for the Simultaneous Regional Conferences to be held by the organization on November 10 of this year, in lieu of the organization’s regular national convention, which has been postponed in order to cooperate with the government’s request to curtail traveling.
