Gallup Poll Finds American Opinion Favors Jewisli Palestine •
According to the report In the Columbus Citizen of Jan-' uary 8, over three out of every four voters in this country who have followed the discussions about perniittlng Jews to settle  in Palestine  favqr the  idea.
Jewish people throughout the country, and Included in the poll, feel even more strongly on the question. Nine out of ten Jews, according to the poll, believe the Jews ought to be permitted to move into Palestine.
According to Mr. Gallup's Institute of Public Opinion, 55% of the American people are familiar with tiie ques¬ tion of w>hether Palestine should be opened to the Jews. This  opinion  is distributed  as  follows:
Those in favor of opening Palestine to the Jews 80%
Those  against  the  idea  7%
Those in favor of leaving the question up to the Aratjs 1 % Thos? in favor of leaving the question up to Britain   1%
Miscellaneous    '.  3%
, Don't knpw 8%
Only a very small percentage (fewer than one in ten) give as their reason for favoring the idea anything that can  be constructed as anti-Semitic.
Mr, Gallup feels that the; basis for the vote favoring opening Palestine to the Jews is a strong sympathy among Americans for the plight of European Jewry.
