United Nations:
 ''Whereas, the Jewish people have striven for generations to be- come free nation in their historic home land, Palestine, and were promised the opportunity to build national home by g nations of the earth, who endorsed the Bal four Declaration, which vOuchsafed such a home for the Jewish people, and
 "Wheyeas, during the past several decades they have made great strides forward in redeeming the soil of Palestine and making it possible for hundreds of thousands of their people to live in peace, freedom and dignity, while beneftting the native Arab population, and
 EAGER TO co THERE
 Whereas, the surviving remnants of European Jewry are overwhelm- lingly desirous of going to Palestine, which is eager to receive and rehabili- tate them, and
 Whereas, the majority report of the United Nations Special Commit tee on Palestine, after an exhaustive study, has recommended that a Jewish State be created in an adequate part of Palestine, and that 150000 Jews be submitted within two years, and
 Whereas, it is essential for the peace of the world that a just and speedy solution be found to the Pales- tine question, therefore
 "Be 1t ResOIued, that those here assembled commend the American government for its statement before the United Nations in support of the majority report and calls upon it to bring all its authority to bear in the assembly of the United Ma. tions to bring about the acceptance of this report and that the United States offer its fullest cooperation in implementing this report.
 Further, Be It Resolyed, that this assembly voice its protest against the recent actions of the British Manda- tory Government in deporting under the most inhuman conditions the 4,40C Jewish refugees of the Exodus 1o47 The British Mandatory Government fiouting world public opinion, did shil these helpless men, women and child ren back to Germany in prison ships and has kept them in concentration camps. The return of these refugees to the land where millions of their kinsmen were murdered by Hitler has shocked every civilized person. We demand that the British immediately take steps to return these people tc Palestine.
 "We further endorse the recom mendation made by Dr. Fabregat of the Uruguayan delegation at the United Nations, that 3O,OOO orphan children be transferred at once from Europe to Palestine, withou, waiting for the final political dis. position of the question:"
