It would be "a mis¬ take, however, to leave the en¬ tire fate of our movement in the hands of these two statesmen". He recalled that Prime IVIln- ister Churchill, desjiite his de¬ finite friendliness to tho Zionist cause, was the author of the White Paper of 1022, and has permitted tho continuance of the Mci:)onald White Pa|)er, of 1(«!) Despite President Roosevelt's support for Zionism, the U. S. has done "nothing to undo the mischief ot the White Paper", Dr. Silver said, and "the execu¬ tive branch of our Government" was respbnsiblo for shelving the Palestine resolution.
"Political exigencies frequent¬ ly deflect the clear purpo.ses even of our best friends", he warned. "Rofugeeism may yet defeat Zionism", he .said, "it is not for us at this time lo stress Palestine as a place of refuge. If what we seek is a Jewish State". Besides,   "tho   world   was     not
greatly mdvod by our plea in behalf of millions of our fellow Jews  now  lying dead".
