President of the United States. referred to. seemed to me to give ample authority to the Members of Congress to discuss and pass the Palestine resolutions which have temporarily been held up in the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Roosevelt admits that the American Government has never given its approval or assent to the British white paper of 1939. which. on March 31. will close the doors of Palestine to Jewish immigration. The convention which this Government signed with Great Britain in 1925 demands that we give our assent to any modification of the mandate given to Britain over Palestine. We have not given that assent. as the statement of the President sets forth.
