war establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth, the Jewish National Council today cabled to the Conference an appeal insisting the gathering in New York adopts a resolution “in the direction of the realization of the Biltmore Declaration as the complete solution of the Jewish problem.”
The Jewish National Council also announced today that it has cabled to Rabbi Meir Berlin, president of the World Mizrachi Organization, who is now on a visit in the United States, to represent the Jews of Palestine at the American Jewish Conference and to address the gathering in behalf of Palestine Jewry.
Information received here reveals that many Zionist delegates to the American Jewish Conference are inclined to support the Jewish demand for free immigration to Palestine, but are reluctant to have the Conference approve of the Biltmore Declaration. This reluctance, it is believed here, is apparently inspired by the recent report that a joint Anglo-American statement on Palestine may soon be issued by the State Department and the British Foreign Office.
