I have tried to make my position on the matter of oppressed minorities. at home or abroad. clear time and again. I am utterly opposed to imperialism. whether practiced by the British. the Soviet. or any nation. including our own. I am in complete sympathy with the views expressed by the honorable gentleman from Illinois and the gentleman from New York . so far as they relate to the present tragic condition of Jewish refugees who seek refuge in their traditional homeland. Where I differ with these gentlemen and all those who feel as they do is in thinking that denial of the loan to Britain will in any way promote or assist Jewish immigraton into Palestine. From a practical view it might do exactly the opposite. Viewed as a punitive measure against the Labor government of Britain. our refusal to grant a loan might have some emotional excuse.
