The presence of the Jews in Palestine has been an asset in the development of that country. They have been anything but a drain on its economy. The President of the United States. with his usual direct forthrightness. has requested that immigration certificates for 100.000 refugees be issued immediately in order that the Jewish people still in the concentration camps of Germany. with no homes to which they can return. may go to Palestine and there live as decent hardworking men and women. We have a right to ask this of the British Government. There still exists a treaty of 1924. between the United States and Great Britain. wherein Great Britain agrees to make no change in immigration regulations pertaining to Palestine without the prior consent of the United States. This treaty still exists. But the United States was not consulted prior to the promulgation of the immigration restriction law. But let us not be content merely with blaming Great Britain. Has our Government done everything it could in. order to carry out the pledges made to the Jews?
