2,000 Professors Appeal to Roosevelt For Land of Israel WASHINGTON — On the eve of President Roosevelt's depar- ture for his historic conference with other leaders of the United Nations, a petition by 2,000 American university professors was submitted to him urging the chief executive to use the influ- ence and power of his high of- fice "to the end that the doors of Palestine shall be opened for free entry of Jews into that country, and that there shall be full opportunity for colonization, so that the Jewish people may ultimately reconstitute Palestine as a free and democratic Jewish Commonwealth." Professors from more than 250 colleges in 45 states, including more than 150 university presi- dents, are among the signers of the appeal to Mr. Roosevelt. The petition stresses "the gi- gantic catastrophe that has re- emphasized the national home- lessness of the Jews and their need for a land to which they may come as of right and not on tolerance."
