PALESTINE FOR JEWS
PETITION TO U.S. HOUSE MARCH OF CHANTING RABBIS Recd. 6 p.m. Washington, Nov. 13. A large number of chanting rabbis marched from the Washington railway station to the Capitol Building in a demonstration for the opening of Palestine to unrestricted Jewish immigration. They were met on the steps of the Senate by four members of the House of Representatives and three senators, to whom they presented a petition asking for the immediate entry of 100,000 Jews to Palestine, repudiation of the British White Paper of 1939, the release of Jewish patriots from prison camps in Africa and the Middle East and the establishment of a Jewish State within Palestine. Senator McKellar, the Senate President pro tem, told the group: "I am one hundred per cent, in favour of that part of your petition which asks that Palestine be set apart as a Jewish refuge.”
