The solution, the text of which was cabled to the British For¬ eign Office by Judge Joseph M, Proskauer, chairman of the Com¬ mittee, urged that "If such a so¬ lution Is,not promptly achieved,' there should nevertheless b e Immediate recognition of the need and right of Jewish Immi¬ gration and land purchase," The resolution Orged that a way be found "for participation in con¬ ference by ail interested groups" and requested the "continuance by the Government of the Uni¬ ted SUtes of sympathetic co¬ operation for the attainment of these objectives."' Condemning all acts of violence' and terror¬ ism, the resolution stated that "such acts are not only prejudi- ciai and harmful to these major objectives, but they are also con¬ trary to the spirit of the Jewish religion and tradition,"

It has supported the Balfour Declaration as' thus In terpreted under the leadership of Louis Marshall. It was in¬ strumental in tile creation ot the Jewish Agency for Paies- tlrie. it has joined Jews of every sliade of opinion on the Pales¬ tine question in opposition to the British -White Paper."
