Jews at NY Times refer to "European holocaust" of Jews in 1936, several years before alleged "mass killings"

A petition addressed to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin expressive of the hope that Great Britain will steer a course favoring the establishment of a free Jewish nation in Palestine such as would provide refuge for millions of persecuted Jews in Eastern Europe and Germany was presented to Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambassador, today by a Christian delegation representing the Pro-Palestine Federation of America and headed by the Right Rev. James F. Freeman, Episcopal Bishop of Washington.

The petition, in expressing the opinion of enlightened Christian leadership in the United States, favoring a larger Jewish immigration into Palestine, stressed the intolerable sufferings of the millions of Jews in "the European holocaust."

Urges Definite Policy

It suggested the need for a clear and definite policy on the part of the British Government in the carrying out of the stipulations of the Palestine mandate. The "sincere belief" was voiced that, in a time when bigotry and prejudice seem "to have engulfed a major portion of the civilized world, the Anglo-Saxon community of nations is called upon to blaze the trail for the dawn of a new ear of freedom, justice and human enlightenment."
