Banquet To Mark Burning Of Synagogue Mortgage
PHILADELPHIA (WNS) — A TcsnUition calling upon the Uni¬ ted States Government "lo make representations to Greal Britain to annul the White Paper of l!i:i!l and to ask assurances Ihat .Jewish immigration inlo Pales¬ tine shall not ,be abridged nor shall the purchase ot land by .lews tie restricted", was adopt- ail by more than 1,000 delegates attending the National Confer¬ ence for Palestine sponsored by the l'niled i'alesline Appeal last woek-onil.
The contorencc went on record also as condemning the White Paper a.s an illegal document which would "liciuidate the Pal¬ estine mandate and terminalc llie gi-owth of the .lewish Nalion- :il Homo",
Another resolullon adopted by the Ziopist cuncla\-c called upon Ihe Uniteii Stales and Great Brit¬ ain to lake iniiiicdi:ite measures lo implement rescue plans for- Ihe saving the Jews ot F.urope and expressed tlisappoinlmcnt at tbe failure of the recent Anglo- American refugee conference in Bermuda "to give adei|uate con¬ sideration to I h e desperate plight of Ihc Jews under the heels of llitlerism and to include within its reconimcndalionK the Imnieiliate possiliilliies ot large- scale mass ininiigralion inlo Pal estine''.
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, presi¬ dent of the Jewisli Agency for Palestine, told the huge meeting that "Jews will never accept the While Paper.as the last word in British statesmanship", and that "we shall not permit our last hopes to be smothered, nor shall we be inliniidated liy threats of revolt".
"11 is a tragic paradox lo call refugee confer'ences and to ig- noi^e Palestine, a counlry—the only counlry—ready and eager to receive the greatest, number ot refugees", Ur. Wei-zmann declar¬ ed. The Jewish Agency presi- clciil was unable Ui appear lie¬ cau.se lit illness liul his prepared adilrcss wiis read hv Dr. .-\hba Hillel Silver of Clevolnnd,

Dr, Silver, who was re-elected nalional chairman of tlie United Palesllne Appeal tor the fifth ' lillle, declared in his opening ad¬ dress fh:it the question of a Jew¬ ish homeland in Palestine "has suddenly become taboo" In Washington. He pointed out that the I'resldent ot the United Stales sent an official greeting to the United Jewish Appeal this year w-hich qiiile pointedly, and not by accident, omits any men- lion  whatsoever  nf  Palestine".
"Our former friends in govern¬ ment circles content themselves with sending us prolific expres¬ sions ot .s.vmpathies oh Jewisli ficrsecution". Dr. Silver asserted. "W'hen pressed to do something about il, they regretfully remind- us llnw difficult it is lo do any¬ thing fur these unfortiiiuite peo¬ ple under present war condi- tinns. Tile suggestion is even made Ihat an.vlliing which may lie dime tor those unfortunate .lews now might in some way piistpoiie the day ot their uiti- maio liberation. 'I'hat they may all then lie dead ddes not seem lo ;ii-ouse these triends ot ours to any exlraorfllnary emergency acts nf rescue and deliverance."
Commcnling that "our for¬ tunes wore never so low", the Cleveland rahbl called upon both Zionist and non-Zionists to unite to continue the upbuilding of Palestine.
'I'he conference also adopted resolutions protesting Britain's refustil to sanction .the forma¬ tion ot a .lewish Army in Pales¬ tine, and pledging continued sup¬ port ot the nation's war effort!
