A plea for a more just Palestine immigration policy on the part of the British government was expressed today by Rabbi Louis I. Newman of Temple Rodeph Sholom, New York City, speaking at the annual conference of the State Federation of Temple Sisterhoods at the Hotel Stratfield.
“Great Britain is making a grievous error in not cooperating with the Jewish people more actively in the upbuilding of the Jewish homeland in Palestine,” Rabbi Newman declared.
“The action of the Syrian government in welcoming Jewish immigrants is a heartening example of the importance which farsighted statesmen attach to the entrance of Jewish newcomers. It will not be long before Transjordania opens up to the Jewish colonists and thereby takes its place among the progressive and forward-looking regions of the Mediterranean region.”
