As far as the persecuted Jews of Europe are concerned. their only avenue of escape at the moment. as well as their last hope. is Palestine. Unfortunately.. the Palestine White Paper of the British Government is about to close this last avenue of escape and to shattet this last ray of hope. As a result of mounting indignation in this country. and as an official protest against the vicious provisions of the White Paper. a resolution was introduced in the House by the gentleman from Pennsylvania and the gentleman from Connecticut . and in the Senate by Senator WAGNER and Senator TAFT. to persuade the British Government to abrogate the White Paper. which would close the doors of Palestineat the end of this monthto further Jewish immigration. All of the Members of the House were hoping and waiting for an opportunity to support such resolution. But out of a clear sky we hear today around the Capitol and other places that the Wagner and Wright resolution and other similar resolutions haVe been tabled in the committees.
