Members of Congress and the American people have been led to believe for some time past that this question would be settled. yet obstacle after obstacle has been interposed to prevent an equitable settlement. Winter is approaching in Europe and with it is bound to come distress and social upheavals. War refugees and political outcasts. driven from pillar to post for no other reason than their race and faith. still remain spread throughout Europe in large numbers. shut out from possible migration to countries where they might find security and safety. In order to forestall continued suffering by these groups who have been pilloried and persecuted with such brutal fury. the doors of immigration to Palestine should be opened and a free Jewish state should be established in that country which would permit refugees and persecuted people a haven of safety and a place where they may renew ordered. civilized living. It is said that this is purely a domestic question which is of no concern to the rest of the world. This argument is also used to justify the enslavement and oppression of many other peoples and can carry no great weight with those who have fought and died for freedom and independence of nations and individuals.
