A message of thanks to British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill for his statement this week in Washington on Israel was wired today by Louis Lipsky, chairman of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs. The telegram read:
“May I, on behalf of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs, express the deep appreciation of the entire Zionist movement of this country for your continued friendship to Israel, as annunciated in your address before the Washington press corps yesterday.
“Your advocacy of the cause of Zion since the Balfour Declaration was not only a source of encouragement to the Jewish people throughout the world but a most decisive contribution to the realization of an age-long dream.
“We hope that you will continue to use your great authority and influence in the Middle East so that the day may soon come when both the Israelis and Arabs will live together in peace.”
