The Allies will have to recognize a Jewish State “from Dan to Beersheba and on both sides of the Jordan,” it was declared here last night by Vladimir Jabotinsky, head of the New Zionist Organization.

Addressing a memorial meeting at the Anglo-Palestine Club for Solomon Jacobi, Revisionist leader who died in Paris last month, the world Revisionist leader declared the Allies were fighting for noble aims and they “will have to make room among their war aims for the restoration of a destroyed people.” He said the Jews wanted to help in the fight and that it would be a “great day of pride and rejoicing and a useful day for the Allies if a Jewish army were formed.”
