Urging the Committee on Foreign Relations of the United States Senate to report favorably on the Tydings Resolution for discussion on the floor of the Senate, Hadassah stated its 400 junior and senio## groups were in favor of the Tydings Resolution.
Mrs. Robert Szold, vice-president of Hadassah, issued the following statement:
“It is impossible to believe, in the face of America’s unbroken tradition of liberal and humanitarian beliefs, that our government can longer remain silent or fail to put itself on record as expressing ‘its profound feeling of surprise and pain’ at a situation which is contrary to all that is best and noblest in humanity and which challenges the very foundations of civilization itself.”
