"We felt-that we could under no cir¬ cumstances agree to the narrow¬ ing and eventual closing of the gates of Palestine to Jewish immigration and to the Jewish refugees who are today being driven from pillar to post all over Central Europe. Nor could we agree to any proposal which would have Subjected this . . . Jewish community ... to the tender mercies ot Arab terrorist junta. That is why the confer¬ ence broke down."
The strength ot the Jewish cause lies not only in its moral rlghtness but mainly In' the position already achieved in Palestine, the Jewish leader de¬ clared. "Had it not been for the existence ot the present Jewish. aetllemejit    we    couli^    hardly
