“Immediate and unconditional” implementation of the recommendations for immigration of 100,000 Jews into Palestine and for an end to restrictions on land purchase in that country, proposed by the Anglo-American committee, was urged upon President Truman in a resolution adopted today by the executive committee of the American Jewish Committee, at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Pledging its support in carrying out the recommendations for immediate action by the inquiry committee, the resolution emphasized the importance of “putting first things first and subordinating all controversy over ultimates in securing among Jews and with our fellow-Americans of all faiths united action in the endeavor to give prompt force to the immediate, affirmative recommendations in the report, and thus to give relief to the suffering remnant of European Jewry.” Jacob Blaustein, chairman of the executive committee, presided over the meeting.
