From The Past Pages Of Dawn: 1943: Seventy-five years ago: Jews demand exile govt

WASHINGTON: The Jewish Telegraph Agency reports that the representatives of the Free Jewish Government in Exile, Prof. Joseph Klausner, of the Hebrew University, Prof. Belikovsky, Mr. Muchan, former official of the Palestine Government and other personalities demand the formation of a Jewish exile Government which should have its headquarters in Washington and with accredited diplomatic representatives with governments of the United Nations.

The leaders of the new organisation, who belong to no party and are politically independent, desire to make their views known to President Roosevelt, Premier Churchill as well as leading members of the British Parliament and the American Congress.

According to American Zionists, this project is so “utopian” that it is not even worth opposing. On the other hand, there is a proposal to form a two-nation state in Palestine by rapprochement between the Arabs and Jews like the Hindu-Muslim state proposed in India.
