Declaring that “one of the most urgent questions on the agenda of those who must assume responsibility for shaping the postwar world is the settlement of the Jewish problem,” the executive council of the American Palestine Committee today sent a plea to President Roosevelt, who is scheduled soon to leave for conferences with Churchill and Stalin.
The committee said in the letter to the President. “It is our conviction that the most significant contribution to the settlement of this problem is the establishment of Palestine as a Jewish Commonwealth and, in our considered opinion, this is the practicable, permanent, just and inevitable solution.” The letter was signed by Senator Robert F. Wagner, chairman of the committee, and others.
