The New Zionist Organization stated today that its London headquarters had written to Colonial Secretary Malcolm MacDonald on March 21 offering its facilities to prevent Nazi agents from entering Palestine as immigrants. The N.Z.O. statement referred to MacDonald’s assertion in the House of Commons yesterday, when asked why he had not accepted Jewish organizations’ offers of aid: “I am unaware of that, but I am certain that if any offers of help had been made those offers would have been accepted.”
