Messages from the German Federal Government, signed by State Secretary von Buelow, from the Federal Foreign Ministry and from the Prussian Prime Minister, Herr Braun, renewing their previous declarations of sympathy and support of the Jewish upbuilding work in Palestine and expressing the hope that the present difficulties facing the Zionist movement will be overcome, and that wise leadership will complete “this work of human welfare and civilisation”, were read out to-day at the annual meeting of the German Pro-Palestine Committee, presided over by Count Bernstorff, the President, who is also President of the German League of Nations Union.
Count Bernstorff spoke of the world-wide protests made against the British White Paper on Palestine and said that he hoped the British Government would now give a clear definition of future British policy in Palestine, making possible the establishment of the Jewish National Home in accordance with the letter and the spirit of the Palestine Mandate.
Ministerial Director, Dr. Ruppel, the German member of the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations, who was present at the meeting, and the Minister of Education and Public Worship, Mr. Grimme, were elected Honorary Members of the Pro-Palestine committee.
