Delegation Presents I I-Page Memorandum to British Envoy
to U. S. Asking Abrogation of White Paper; Declare
Refusal Would be 'Act of Discrimination'

Noted Singer to Appear Former JWF Director Here Will Be Guest Speaker at

Special Meeting Arranged by Federation
er's Concert Program
at the Center Wednesday Night

WASHINGTON (JTA)—A delegation of the American
Jewish Committee, composed of Joseph M. Proskauer, presi-
dent, and Jacob Blaustein, chairman of its general committee,
this week presented an 11-page memorandum to Lord Hali-
fax, British Ambassador to the S., requesting the abroga-
tion of the White Paper which closes the doors of Palestine

The joint cultural committee
of the Jewish Community Cen-
ter and Jewish Community
Council invites the public to a
concert featuring two outstand-
ing artists—Miss Sarah Gorby
and Benjamin Zemach, who will

to Jewish immigration a f ter
March 31 of this year.

The memorandum declares that
Britain's refusal to abolish the
White Paper would constitute an
act of "discrimination against the
Jews." While not urging "at this
time determination of the final
constitutional status of Pales-
tine," the American Jewish Com-
mittee asks for annulment of the
1939 White Paper which "violates
the Mandate for Palestine en-
trusted to Britain by the League
of Nations in 1922."

Promise Was Specific
"The primary purpose of the
M a n d a t e," the memorandum
states, "was the establishment of
a national home for the Jews
with the understanding that
nothing be done to prejudice the
civil and religious rights of ex-,
isting non-Jewish communities in
Palestine or the rights and politi-
cal status of Jews in any other
country. This promise of a home-
land within Palestine was speci-
fic and admitted, the memoran-
dum emphasizes, "and not con-
troversial as is the question of
the creation of a Common-
wealth."

The American Jewish Commit-
tee points specifically to the
'limitation of immigration and
land purchases" as counter to the
intent and purpose of the Man-
date of Palestine. These limita-
tions, the memorandum states, is
a violation of Article 15 of the
Mandate which declares that "no
discrimination of any kind shall
be made between the inhabitants
of Palestine on the ground of
race, religion or language. No
person shall be excluded from
Palestine on the ground of his
religious belief."

Churchill's Opposition
The American Jewish Commit-
tee quotes from the address Mr.
Winston Churchill made in 1939
opposing approval by the House
of Commons of the White Paper:
, . the provision that Jewish
immigration can be stopped in
five years' time by the decision
of an Arab majority . . . is a
plain breach of a solemn. obliga-
tion . . This pledge of a home
was not made to the Jews in
Palestine but to the Jews out-
side . Palestine," Mr. Churchill
quoted. -"Now there is a breach,
there is the violation of the
pledge, the abandonment of the
Balfour Declaration."

The events of the past four
years, the memorandum contin-
ues, have served to emphasize
Churchill's vision and wisdom in
stating that the agitation against
the Balfour Declaration "is fed
with foreign money and cease-
lessly inflamed by Nazi and by
Fascist propaganda . . . "
