Prominent non-Jewish personalities in the state of Victoria have formed a “Pro-Palestine Committee,” it was announced here today. Included in the new group are Premier Dunstan, the Catholic Archbishop, the Lord Mayor of Melbourne and parliamentary leaders. Similar committees are planned in two more of Australia’s six states. At the first public meeting of the Victoria Committee, a resolution was adopted urging the opening of Palestine to European Jewish refugees.
