A cable urging the British Government “not to betray the confidence of the Jewish people” with regard to Palestine was dispatched today by a conference of all Zionist parties together with the Agudath Israel, religious non-Zionist organization. The cable said: “In the darkest and most tragic hour of Jewish history, 3,500,000 Polish Jews appeal to the British Government not to betray the confidence of the Jewish people in Great Britain and not to destroy the sacred hopes of the Jewish people by adoption of a policy bound to drive them to despair.”
