Senate Votes to Open Palestine for Jewish Entry
The Senate backed using good offices to help open Palestine to Jewish entry, approving a Wagner Taft resolution urging a democratic commonwealth with full civil rights. An amendment to work with other nations, including the U.S. and Arab states, failed amid fears of Arab violence.
