I was not a little shocked when Edvard Bene.. of Czechoslovakia. whose adherence to the principles of democracy cannot be denied. said in effect that Jews would be unlikely to find a haven in Europe for some time to come. President Truman recently recommended to the British Government that Palestine should be immediately opened to the migration of 100.000 Jews. It is my understanding that no reply has yet *been received from theBritish Government. It is entirely proper that the President of the United States and the Congress of the United States take cognizance of this situation. It is extremely doubtful that the Chamberlain white paper promulgated in 1939 restricting immigration to Palestine is valid under existing international agreements. Palestine is held in trust by Great Britain under the Covenant of. the. League of Nations.
