The Jewish National Council today cabled the Jewish delegation at the London conferences that the three-year struggle had hardened the Palestine Jewish community and that no sacrifice was too great for the fulfillment of the delegation’s mission. The cable added that the community wanted peace but not at the price of a minority status and restriction of immigration and colonization.
An attempt of Zionist-Revisionist students to organize a two-hour strike at the Hebrew University in protest against the London conferences drew a warning today of “strongest measures” to preserve order. Rector Abraham H. Fraenkel assembled the student body and denounced yesterday’s demonstration, which was accompanied by fisticuffs with other students and invasion of lectures, as attacks resembling anti-Semitic campaigns in European universities. The Hebrew University, as a Jewish national institution, backs up Jewish leaders during the present crisis, the rector asserted to the accompaniment of applause.
