A telegram refuting anti-Zionist arguments expressed recently by the Conference of Americans of Arabic-speaking origin and declaring that “the Commonwealth plan, as set forth by Zionist organizations today, is entirely democratic in purpose and spirit,” was sent to President Roosevelt today by a group of prominent Christian leaders.
The telegram was signed by Dr. Henry A. Atkinson, general secretary of the Church Peace Union; Dr. Carl J. Friedrich, professor of government at Harvard University; Professor S. Ralph Harlow, of Smith College; Dr. Howard M. LeSourd, dean of the graduate school, Boston University; Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr, of the Union Theological Seminary; Dr. Daniel A. Poling, president of the World’s Christian Endeavor Union; Rev. Wendell W. Phillips, Christ Church, Rye, N.Y. and Dr. Carl Hermann Voss, extension secretary of the Church Peace Union.
