Friday, May 9, 1947 Savannah, Ga. WALLACE SAYS ZIONISM IN U. S. GROWING LONDON (JTA) Although most American Jews are not (or ganized) Zionists, they have de veloped since the end of the war a strong sympathy for the Jews of Palestine, Henry Wallace told a press conference here. He de scribed the growth of pro-Zionist sentiments among U. S. Jews as “an amazing development.” Wallace, who is in England at the invitation of a group of Brit ish liberals, refused to comment when asked what solution of the Palestine problem he favored, ex plaining that he was here as a guest. He added that American Jews feel very deeply on the Pal estine question and have given with extraordinary liberality to the Jewish community there.

Asked if resettlement of Jews was hampered by immigration re strictions in the U. S., he replied that it is quite true that before America criticizes British policy in Palestine she should be ready to admit more Jewish and other ref ugees from Central Europe. How ever, he added, if the U. S. opened its doors to all Jews who wished to come, that would still not solve the Palestine problem. Replying to another question, Wallace said that he favored the creation of a Jordan Valley auth ority in Palestine, which would provide electric power for industry and water to irrigate huge areas of presently barren land.
