PALESTINE POLICY Obligations to Jews There| Will Be Fulfilled, Says Harry Snell. Assurance that Great Britain “will faithfully carry out her obligations un- | der the mandate” calling for the estab- | Ushment of a Jewish nalional home in | Palestine was given in an address b\, Harry Snell, member of the Britis Parilament, in an address at a ban- quet of the American Jewish Congress | n_the Willard Hotel lusi night. | Mr. Snell came to this countyy upon | #pecial invitation of the Jewish Con- s. Last night, he declared the Sewisn claim to racial preservation is “incontestable” and asserted that the Jews of the world have no_need to worry over the situation {n Palestine, but urged them to be patient regarding developments there. The disappoint- ments of the past 10 years are small in eomparison with the results achieved, he added. Quoting from the Bible, Mr. Snell brought out that there is yet much work to be done in Palestine before the ht of the Jews there will be ideal. ‘And meanwhile, let the pioneers in Palestine also take courage, for ‘the wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose,' " the | speaker declared. Mr. Snell began his address by de- elaring “I am not, as you know, & Jew, and I have no Jewish affliations: I am not attached to any Christian| church, and I look upon the ccnflicting creeds and sects in Palestine and else- | where with equal respect. My position here tonight is that of a British inter- | Dationalist with a deep love of and belief in my own country.” Reviewing the general Palestine Mr. Snell said: “Great Britain went to Palestine as | an accident of the war and purely for military purposes. The Arab peoples, even as did the Jewish Legion, nve; . waluable suppoprt to the allied forces, demanding as the price for their help! wast territories in Asia which were { @pecifically defined. 1t is on the basis | the negosions that then took place that the Arab makes his claim for an | Arab state in Palestine. His majesty's | ment has never admitted the | tice of this claim and maintains that it has fulfilled its bargain to the | letter.” Referring_to the history of the mandate, Mr. Snell declared: “The | mandate was approved by a resolution of the American Congress and Senate | in June, 1922, although the United | States were not members of The Hague | ! conference. It will be seen, therefore, that Great Britain is not in Palestine merely as the result of military con- | quest of Turkish territory: she has be- hind her greater authority than any wev(mu trust in the history of the “Unfol’tunnuly for Great Britain, the of the rhandate are such as im- pose upon her obligations of which the complexity is undeniable. She is re- quired to ‘place the country under such « ‘political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establish- ment of the Jewish National Home,' but she is also bound to ‘safeguard the «civil and religious rights of all the in- | habitants of Palestine, irrespective of race or religio She is to ‘facilitate Jewish immigratio~ under suitable con- ditions’ . ‘'while ensuring that the Tu and position of other sections the population are not prejudiced.” After reviewing the many difficulties | that have come up in reference to the, date and _establishing .lewl 1n| tine, Mr. Snell expressed the t the Jews and Arabs u'n-mselvu -m have to strive to establish peace be- tween the two peoples. “I reached the point in my study of the | ndnlprohleminhluum when I can | 9% no way out of the present ¢ trouble | other than that peace be made lfiveen the peoples themselves,” he banquet was also addressed by | uh' :‘ni:xemd Silverman, vice presi- | ituation in wag EVENING' 2:30 o'clock; Carl Sherman mfl the morning session and D, Pearlman was to preside over the session this aft:rnoon, - Job Obtaining Difficult. & In the rep&:-:. on di:crlh“nl‘lm in employment o was serted “‘the '3» edml;:l.

A message of encouragement and greeting from Rabbi Stephen S, Wise of New York who is scheduled to address the banquet gathering, but was unable to attend be- cause of iliness, was read. ‘The convention opened in the Wil- lard Hotel yesterday morning and an A complete cof- fee roasting plant in this building which produces GREEN BAG COFFEE and other brands of COFFEE was by l.eopold V Freudberg, chairman of the Washington Congress Committee, host to the convention, A general sum- mary of Jewish conditions was given at the ‘opening meeting by Bernard S.

Mr. Deutsch championed a policy of ag: gressiveness and said that the discrim- ination against Jews in business and in colleges in America as well as persecu- tion in Rumania, Russia and other countries calls for rigorous protest. A policy of silence and passive submis- sion has been shown to be wrong, Mr. Deutsch declared. Dissolution Regretted. Bernard G. Richards, executive direc- tor, addressing yesterday morning’s session with an expression of regret, declared that a ‘“positive program for American Jewry” looking beyond its immediate needs is as yet impossible of achievement. He added that the un- derlined ideas for such a program have not yet been clearly formula WASHINGTON, D.
