This is the answer to those few who say. "Why should we bother? Palestine is ajBritish headache. it Is none of our business." We do not have a legal mandate in the matter. but we have the mandate of human conscience which is just as strong as any League of Nations parchment. Let us not look to a project to give the refugee Jews merely a new and temporary ghetto. but give them their old and permanent home. where they are wanted and will be cherished. where they can make a living and a life. The Holy Land. the birthplace of the Christian and Jewish religions. can with all justice be given back to the people from whose travail a great religious impulse incorporated in two great religions had radiated throughout the world for thousands of years. It is our mission to spread further than ever before among the people of the earth the belief which all Americans cherish so deeplythat no mans liberty of conscience must be questioned as long as he does not question that of his neighbor and that men of varying faiths may live together in harmony and good will.
