Leaders Commend Action
On Palestine Resolution

(Continued from Page 1)
United States shall use its good
offices and t a k e appropriate
measures to the end that t h e
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 Com-
monwealth."
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, chair-
man of the executive committee
of the American Zionist Emer-
gency Council, praised "the spirit
of statesmanship and noble hu-
manity which motivated the in-
troduetion of this resolution."
. Practical Opportunity
Majority Leader McCormack,
endorsing the resolution in a
press statement, said: "Palestine
represents the most practical,
available opportunity for Jews to
rebuild their broken lives, and
to become self-sustaining a n d
self-respecting human beings....
This resolution expresses the pol-
icy of our country in the light
of the stern realities of the pres-
ent hour."
House Minority Leader Joseph
W. Martin Jr. said: ."The Pales-
tine resolution . . . is an eXpres-
sion of the sympathy of t h e
people of the United States with
Jewish aspirations for the restor-
ation of their national lives in
Palestine. It- is a reassertion of
the historic attitude of the United
States as embodied in the Lodge
Palestine Resolution which was
adopted by Congress in 1922....
This resolution is a reaffirmation
of the established policy of the
United States in favor of a Jew-
ish National Home, in harmony
with the new and terrible reali-
ties with which the Jews of Eu-
rope are faced today."
Negotiations Started
The War Refugee Board estab-
lished by President Roosevelt,
consisting of Secretaries Hull,
Morgenthau and Stimson, has an-
nounced that negotiations are un-
der way with foreign govern-
ments to determine the extent
to which they were willing to co-
operate in rescuing Jews a n d
other victims of Nazi aggression.
Announcement is made by the
board that diplomatic and con-
sular officers had been,requested
to m a k e "immediate reports"
concerning conditions existing in
each country w i t h regard to
whether refugees would be per-
mitted to enter, and, where refu-
gees were refused entry at fron-
tiers, explanations why t h e y
were refused.
The boar d's announcement
covered the following points:
"All missions were advised that
instructions had been issued by
the President to the Secretary
of State, the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Secretary of
War to endeavor to effect im-
mediately the rescue and relief
of Jews in Europe and of other
victims of Nazi terror.
Responsible to President
"For the purpose of carrying
out this policy, the President's
order sets up a War Refugee
Board composed of the Secre-
tary of the State, the Secretary
of the Treasury, and the Secre-
tary of War. This board is re-
sponsible to the President, and
to it is assigned the responsibility
for carrying out the policy above
announced. While the board is
responsible directly for giving ef-
fect to the policy, it is directed
to work with UNRRA, the Inter-•
Govertmental Committee, a n d
other appropriate international
organizations.
"The President made it clear
that in dealing with this impor-

tant and difficult problem he ex-
pected to have full cooperation
from the governments of t h e
United Nations and other foreign
governments. The President em-
phasized the urgent necessity of
frustrating the Nazi design to ex-
terminate Jewish and other •mi-
nority groups in Europe.
Wide Cooperation Sought
"Cooperation wa:-: directed with
all public agencies and estab-
lished private organizations in
the rescue areas from those of-
ficers who are dealing with this
problem to the end that effective
programs and measures for re-
lief, rescue, maintenance, a n d
transportation of persecuted vic-
tims may be developed and car-
ried out." Immediate reports re-
lating to the situation existing
in the countries of the respective
officers have been requested,
which should include information
as to the permission granted to
war refugees to enter each coun-
try, the encouragement and co-
operation given to such entry,
and the extent to which each
country does not cooperate in
permitting entry.
"Recommendations as to possi-
ble lines of action have been
asked„ with notation of special
obstacles . .tXrhich m y handicap
rescue operations and methods of
overcoming such obstacles.
"Foreign governments are be-
ing approached to ascertain the
extent to which they are pre-
pared to cooperate."
