PALESTINE SUNDAY
(CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE)
view the rlituation In Palestine
since the British Royal Commis-
sion recently concluded its investi-
gation of the administration of
the Palestine Mandate, following
upon the disorders of 1936.
Characterized as the most repre-
sentative assembly of American
Jewry ever convened because of
the inclusion of every section of
the Jewish community, the Na-
tional Conference for Palestine
will also adopt a program for con-
tinued reconstruction activity in
Palestine that will take into ac-
count the pressure upon Jewish
migration in various European
lands particularly Poland and
Germany.
T h e attendance of Senator
Lodge at the Palestine conference
follows a tradition established by
his father, the late Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge who introduced into
the United States Senate the con-
current resolution subsequently
known as No. 73 of the 67th Con-
gress which voiced America's ap-
proval of the establishment of the
Jewish homeland In Palestine. The
resolution was unanimously passed
by Congress and signed by Presi-
dent Harding on Sept. 21, 1922.

LONDON (WNS-Palsor Agen-
cy)—Dr. Chaim Weizmann, presi-
dent of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine, who has arrived in Lon-
don after having spent four days
in Paris on his way from Palestine
has cancelled his plan to visit the
United States in time to attend
the Conference for Palestine to be
held in Washington Feb. 7. His
decision, made after considerable
reflection, is regarded here as an
indication of the critical political
situation affecting Palestine.

American Aid Essential to Safe-
guard Palestine, Kaplan Says
PARIS (WNS-Palcor Agency)
To surmount the present political
and economic obstacles in the path
of Jewish progress in Palestine
the maximum aid from America
will be required, it was declared
here by Eliezer Kaplan, treasurer
of the Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine, as he left on the Berengaria
for the United States. Mr. Kap-
lan, who will deliver a report on
behalf of the Jewish Agency exe-
cutive to the National Conference
for Palestine at Washington on
Feb. 6 and 7, emphasised that his
visit would not be for propaganda
purposes but to help American
Jewish leaders understand the
situation that hie developed in the
Jewish Homeland. The financial
commitments contemplated by the
Keren Kayemeth for the coming
year will necessitate a fund of
$5,000,000 from the United States,

Dr. Samuel Margoshes, who pre-
sided, answered an open letter by
the New York chapter of the
Guild of Polish Newspapermen,
which attempts to exonerate the
Polish government of guilt in con-
nection with the Jewish plight.
Dr. Margoshes charged the Po-
lish newspapermen with making a
direct appeal to prejudice by their
reminder that "Hitler started with
a minority and reached full pow-
er on the crest of anti-Semitism"
and by the atttempt to show that
criticism of Poland's violations of
the Jews' human and legal rights,
"will only swell the current of
anti-Semitism in Poland." Ile as-
serted that "when you complain
about an injustice and all you
get is a fist in your face, you
can either run away or stand your
ground and fight. We have not
the slightest intention of running
away. We have taken our case
to the court of American public
opinion and there it shall remain
until full justice is done."
Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
majority leader of the United
States Senate, in • telegram to
the conference, reminded Po-
