Long ago we negotiated a treaty with Great Britain wherein we consented to British administration of the mandate for Palestine. That convention specifically states in article 7 that no modification shall be made in the terms of the mandate unless such modification has been assented to by the United States. Curtailment of Jewish immigration during the past 5 years. and the proposed complete stoppage. is in violation of this mandate. Furthermore. any restriction whatsoever of Jewish immigration into Palestine is entirely contrary to the intent. purpose. and spirit of the Balfour Declaration which was the forerunner of the mandate. Has the United States Government ever protested this violation? Has the United States Government ever lifted its voice in behalf of the helpless victims of this unlawful violation of a sacred covenant?
