WASHINGTON.—All roads these days do not necessarily lead to
Rome. Many more of them channel into Washington. A surprising num-
ber of them are sign-posted Palestine.
Within a week:
1. The six American members of the Anglo-American Commission
on Palestine, headed by their chairman, Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson of
Texas, trod a path to the White House and to the President's office.
They had a half hour's talk with him, and through Judge Hutcheson
let it be known that the work of the commission would officially begin
January 1, that preliminary activities were under way to organize the
staff and method of work, but that nothing had yet been decided on
date of meeting with the British members, or on a trip to Palestine.
11)
2. The Se nate Foreign Relations Committee by a vote of 17 to 1,
adopted the revised Wagner-Taft resolution urging the United States
to use its good offices in establishing a Jewish commonwealth in
Palestine and for the free entry of Jews there. The dissenting vote
was that of Senator Tom Connally, of Texas, committee chairman.
Since the President had, earlier, expressed objection to adoption of the
resolution, Connally was going down the line for him.
3. Tho House Foreign Affairs Committee held two hearings on a
Palestine resolution identical to the Senate's, introduced by Repre-
sentative Daniel Flood of Pennsylvania, and unanimously adopted it.
Before so doing they heard several witnesses, including Democratic
Majority leader of the House, Representative John W. McCormack of
Massachusetts, the Republican Minority Leader, Representative Jo-
seph Martin, also of Massachusetts, Republican Representative Everett
Dirksen of Illinois, and Dr. Emanuel Neuman, acting president of
Zionist Organization of America.
Representative Dirksen contributed constructive arguments based
on personal observations in Palestine. Industrial potentialities there
"are scarcely scratched," he said. There is abundant room for expan-
sion of industry and agriculture. The quality of agricultural produc-
tion, particularly of citrus fruits, and of the organization of the 30-odd
collective farms which he saw, amazed him. Palestine, he emphasized,
could be made a huge expeillmental station to demonstrate to the en-
tire Middle East the advantages of modern agriculture. irrigation and
land conservation.
4. After a turbulent session filled with parliamentary maneuvers
and hours of oratory from both sides of the Senate. the Wagner-Taft
resolution was overwhelmingly adopted by voice vote, the lone "Nay"
booming from Senator Connally. Thirty-five pages of the "Congres-
sional Record" of December 17, the day of adoption, were filled with
the Palestine debate, more than half of them by rock-ribbed Senator
Warren Austin of Vermont, who vigorously championed the resolution.
5. The House Foreign Affairs Committee in a quick move, pushed
their resolution into the House for consideration and there is every
likelihood that it, like its Senate counterpart, will be overwhelmingly
.1) adopted.
There can be no question in the minds of the American members
of the Joint Palestine Commission, of the opinion of Congress. As
Senator Wagner told the Senate:
In this whole matter, the members of the Commission should be
the servants and not the masters of the people at large. We should
by this resolution let the Commission know what we want it to do, and
expect it to do just that,--without delay."
Both the Senate and House of Representatives have done just that.
e Commission has its guide.
