NEW VORK IWNS) ~ Tho oKoculivo board of the Amorl- c;t^? .lewish Committee decided, by a vole of .'52 to 1.3, at an all- d;iy session hekl hero on Octob¬ er 2."!. to withdraw from the American .lewish Conference. The meeting, which was held behind closed door.s. was attend- ( i by scvent-y-five represenla- ti\'cs of .lewisii commuiflties throughout the I'niled Stales.
The ciimtnittc(.'s ;iciion w;is predicted iqion the contention lliai the Anicrictin .lewish Con¬ ferences demand for the event- uil esf.dilishmeni of <'i -lewish Coimnonwealth in Palestine ;m<l its suhordination of other .lew¬ isii issues to "Ihe problem of tho politic;i| structure of ralestine" were wllolly in disagrcemenl with the fundtmientai \'iews on .lewish liie and probletns held by the .-Xmerican .lewish Commit¬ tee. The committee declared, however, that it was rearly and willing lo "cooperiite with the conference iind thtise many \-ital .lewish institutions' and move¬ ment in this counlry-religious, cultural and philanthropic — which help to nourish and en¬ rich Jewish life in America".
The rc'.solution to withdraw from further participation in the Arnerican Jewish Confer¬ ence was drafrted W" j special .xomnjlttee .coi|islstV').?;,b£. Ghlr'^

Favor Abrogation Of White Paper
Immediately after the adopt¬ ion of the resolution the ejfocu- live committee issued a i>ress release lo the effect that the ..\merican Jewish Committee would "apply its most <liligent efforts lo bring about the .ihro- gatloii of ifte White Paper which closes ilie doors of Palestine lo further .lewish immigration and restricts .lewish land iiurchase" and thai il would continue lo demtind free inimigratioti into Ptili'stine jmd resltjration of otpiai rights everywhere. The jiress release staled further that the coinmittee was firmly convinced that the world prob¬ lems of .lews "cannot be solved by a single political panacea and that the salvation and rehal)iii- lation of tlie strii'ken .lews of Euro[)e cannot be achieved through Palestine alone .md cer¬ tainly not through overemphasis on the {jolitical conslitiilion of Palestine". 'I'hat the scilution of the .lewish problem i-an be ach¬ ieved "only by considering I'til- estine a fiart of the larger pro¬ gram which looks to liie reiiali- illtalion and resettlemeiu of .lews throughout the world and the restoralicm of their eciual rights" and that "tho majority of the delegates" at the five-day .session ol the American .lewish Conference which was held in New York "took such a stand that there was no room left for adequate presentation of Ilie views of the American Jewish Committee and considerable seg'. ments of the Jewish community of America.
