Mr. Chairman. countless speeches have been made and numerous resolutions passed by millions of Americans all over the country in protest against the notorious Chamberlain White Paper of 1939. which restricted and later closed the immigration of Hebrews from Europe to Palestine. An overwhelming majority of Members of this House and Members of the Senate have expressed themselves without any reservation as opposing this arbitrarily enforced rule by the mandatory for Palestine. Indeed. experts in international law maintain that Britain. as the mandatory power. has acted illegally. since the Mandates Commission of the League of Nations. an authority Which supersedes the mandatory government. has rejected the white paper policy because it found that policy to be in contradiction with the terms of the mandate. The Hebrew Committee of National Liberation maintains that in view of - these circumstances. andparticularly in view of the terrible plight in which the surviving Hebrews of Europe find themselves after 5 years of German pillage and murder. these people have both the moral and legal right to go to Palestine.
