Neither Arabs nor Jews were involved. which Indicates that arguments are not confined to the Jews and the Arabs in that land. It was my privilege to visit a Jewish community farm on a Sunday afternoon. and to observe the miracle that had been wrought on those devastated acres by the Jewish rehabilitation of the land. There I saw 50 refugee children from Dachau and Buchenwald. who were blooming there in what had formerly been a desert and who were a token of what it is possible to do. Fifty or a hundred cows give them milk from the hills of Palestine. And yet. as I rode away from there. between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. there were thousands of idle acres. deserted by the Arabs and denied to the Jews. Meanwhile. America goes on spending millions of dollars to support thousands of refugees in the detention camps of Germany. How long this must continue. as a result of the denial of immigration by the mandatory power. is still of course in doubt. It is my earnest hope that. pending the discussions in the United Nations and the operations of the committee. the mandatory power may see fit to observe what is the undoubted international obligation of permitting the continued migration of the Jewish refugees of Europe. not primarily to relieve the American taxpayers of the millions of dollars of expense in which we are now involved in supporting these unfortunates but primarily in order that these poor unfortunates. persecuted. the remnant of 6.000.000 who have been destroyed. may establish themselves as selfrespecting and selfsupporting citizens in the land that has so clearly been promised to them. It is my hope that the mandatory power may. in the not too distant future. see the wisdom of that course. Going on to Cairo. we attended the meetings of the Interparliamentary Union. which has been holding sessions for many years. and which consists of members of the parliaments of various nations.
