A delegation of the Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs, calling upon British Ambassador Lord Halifax to extend greetings, today made representations against some aspects of British policy in Palestine and expressed concern over the possible effects of these measures on the fate of Jewish refugees and the future of the Jewish national home.
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, spokesman for the delegation, submitted a statement which reaffirmed the Jewish Agency’s stand in favor of full-hearted cooperation with Britain in her struggle against totalitarianism.
Lord Halifax expressed his deep appreciation of Dr. Wise’s statement of sympathy with the British cause and undertook to bring to the Government’s notice the other matters raised.
