American Member of U. S. - British Inquiry Committee
Declares Entire Group Agreed on 'Unconditional'
Admission of 100,000 Survivors
NEW YORK (JTA)—All members of the Anglia-Amer-
ican inquiry committee agreed. unanimously that the 100,000
Jewish refugees - in Europe should be admitted to Palestine
"without condition," it was stated here this week by Bartley
Crum, one of the American members of the committee.
This statement came in reply the announcement by
British Prime Minister Attlee that
that the Jews would not be
admitted to Palestine until the "illegal armies" there disband
and surrender their arms.
"I am deeply shocked at Prime Minister Attlee's state-
ment that the admission of 100,000 Jews into Palestine would
be conditioned on the disarming of 'illegal armies' and the
surrender of their arms," Crum said. "The recommendation
of the Anglo-American Committee unanimously was that
these tragic victims of the Nazis should be admitted into
Palestine in 1946, without condition. The point which the
Prime Minister raises was made . in our discussions, and re-
jected upon two grounds:
That it would be indecent and inhuman to try to
trade their lives upon condition that the Jews of Pales-
tine surrender their arms.
That the so-called 'illegal army' the Haganah, would
scarcely fight against the immigration of this 100,000
unfortunate people.
"On the contrary, all evidence showed that the Haganah,
indeed the entire Jewish population of Palestine, will wel-
come these unfortunate people. On the latter point we have
confirming evidence from the Palestine government itself,
both from the military and from the police that advised us
they expected very little trouble even from the extremely
nationalist Arabs."
. British Note Asks How Far U. S. Will Participate
WASHINGTON (JTA)—A British note on the report of the
Anglo-American inquiry committee has been delivered in Paris to
Secretary of State Byrnes. -
The note asks how far the U. S. is prepared to participate
in carrying out the committee's recommendations.
President Truman at his press conference declined to state
whether the U. S. is ready to accept any responsibility for the
disarming of the so-called "illegal armies" in Palestine as suggested
by Attlee..
The President also declined to answer a question as to whether
the U. S. was prepared to take any steps on the recommendation
by the Anglo-American inquiry committee that other governments
accept Jews from Europe, outside of the 100,000 to be admitted to
Palestine.
The President declared that he had nothing further to say at
this time than was contained in his statement which accompanied
the report of the committee.
The little reaction received so far at the White House to the
report has been "highly favorable in the main," the President's
press secretary, Charles G. Ross, said. It has come from Jewish
organizations and individual Jews who, with the President, are
gratified at the recommendation for immediate entry of the 100,000
Jews into Palestine, he added.
Ross said that he did not know whether the President is con-
templating a message to Congress recommending relaxation of the
immigration laws to permit increased entry of JewS into the U. S.
Drs. Silver, Wise Dissatisfied With Report
NEW YORK (JTA)—While describing as "most gratifying" the
recommendation by the Anglo-American inquiry "committee, Drs.
Abba Hillel Silver Wand Stephen S. Wise, joint chairmen of the
Zionist Emergency Council, pointed out that the report contains
some recommendations for the permanent solution of the Palestine
problem which "clearly deny Jewish historic rights and aspirations
with respect to Palestine and can never be accepted by the Jewish
people."
Emphasizing that the removal of the 100,000 Jewish refugees
to Palestine "is long overdue," the statement says that President
Truman is to be congratulated for having taken the initiative in
this great humanitarian effort," and the Committee is to be com-
mended for having fully endorsed his request.
Branding the long-term recommendation of the Anglo-Amer-
ican Committee of Inquiry as "most unrealistic and unfortunate,"
the executive committee of the American Jewish Conference asserted
that the Committee's declarati6n -against a Jewish State will be
rejected by the overwhelming majority of the Jews of the U. S.
- The Conference welcomed the report's acceptance of President
Truman's humanitarian recommendation calling for the immediate
admission of 100,000 Jews into Palestine—"a proposal which will
stand forever to his credit." At the same time, the Conference
declared that immigration proposals of the Committee would not
aid the majority of the remnants of European Jewry, in des-.
perate need of a homeland, and that the long term recommendations
struck "a sharp blow" at the Jewish people and the Jewish National
Home, since they "brush aside" the international obligations to
establish a Jewish state in P1'lestine.
Joseph M. Proskauer, president of the American Jewish Com-
mittee, issued a statement expressing gratitude to President Truman
and to the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine for
securing the recommendation of immediate admission of 100,000
Jews into Palestine and of the abrogation of the British White Paper.
The introduction of the issue of "Christian rights" into the
Palestine situation, as has been done by the Anglo-American inquiry
committee, is "to obscure the real issue at stake, which is not only
to create a haven for homeless Jews, but to build a national home
for homeless people," the American Christian Palestine Committee
said this week.
