Mr. Chairman. prompted by the beatings of my heart and the impulses of my mind. I appeared before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives this morning. on which committee I served for some 22 years. in favor of House Resolution 418 and House Resolution 419. protesting against the British White Paper and in favor of permitting Jewish immigration into Palestine. Some 22 years ago. in 1922. I was the sponsor of the socalled Zionist resolution. placing Congress in favor of the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. That resolution was passed by the Congress. signed by President Harding. and enacted into law on September 21. 1922. thereby placing the stamp of approval. not only of the Congress but of the American people. on the agelong aspirations of world Jewry for the rebuilding of their ancestral homeland in Palestine.
