Great Britain was urged today to return to the policy of admitting as many Jewish immigrants to Palestine as the country can absorb, even if that would eventually lead to a Jewish majority, in an address by Sir Wyndham Deedes, former Palestine administrator, before a meeting in Liverpool.

The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Austin Harford, who presided, expressed sympathy with Zionist aspirations and voiced his horror at the atrocities committed against Jews in occupied countries.
